Background: Postoperative shivering (PS) is a mechanism to reduce heat loss and is the most frequent complication during the recovery period after general anesthesia. Shivering can lead to discomfort and is even risky in many patients; therefore, prevention is important. Objectives: Our study aims to determine the effect of dexmedetomidine on preventing shivering after general anesthesia in appendectomy patients. Methods: The present double–blind, randomized clinical trial divided 90 appendectomy patients into two groups. Randomization was performed using the www.random.org website from the numbers of sequence generator option. One group received 0.5 µg/kg of dexmedetomidine before induction of general anesthesia, and another group received normal saline as a placebo. Shivering and other outcomes were checked in both groups. To find a 50% reduction of this incidence, based on alpha error of 5% and beta error of 20%, the sample size of 45 people was determined for each group. A P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In total, 63 (70%) patients were male, and 27 (30%) were female. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age (P = 0.412), weight (P = 0.460), temperature of serum for fluid therapy (P = 0.315), fluid volume (P = 0.736), perioperative body temperature (P = 0.418), preoperative body temperature (P = 0.540), and room temperature (P = 0.310). The severity of shivering was significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine group (60%) than in the placebo group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference according to gender and severity of shivering between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: This study suggests that the administration of dexmedetomidine can prevent postoperative shivering.

“…Pain is one of the most important influencing factors on lower quality of life (QOL) (5). QOL is defined as an individual's perception of life from different aspects and is regarded as a daily routine challenge (6,7). Researchers have shown a decline in health-related QOL in women with dysmenorrhea (8).…”

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is a prevalent condition characterized by menstrual pain in the absence of pelvic pathology, which can affect quality of life (QOL). Objectives: This study aimed to assess the QOL in medical students with dysmenorrhea in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 298 female students between December 2021 and August 2022. The EQ-5D-3L questionnaire was used to assess the QOL of subjects. Also, age, weight, height, sleep hours per day, and exercise hours per week were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of students was 20.32 ± 3.19 years, and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 83.6% (n = 249). There was a significant difference in daily activity (P < 0.05) and exercise hours per week (P < 0.05) between the two groups. Pain and discomfort were remarkably higher in group with dysmenorrhea (P < 0.01). In addition, personal care was significantly reduced among subjects with dysmenorrhea (P < 0.05). Sleep hours per day, body mass index (BMI), age, mobility, and anxiety were similar between the two groups. Conclusions: According to our results, dysmenorrhea was significantly related to impaired QOL, considering some aspects such as daily activity.
