“…Moreover, our results illustrated that the infection rates of UU, CT, and NG were related to age. Our study further confirmed that the younger age group (<25 years) had the highest prevalence rate of UU and CT, which had also been reported in recent studies . It might be due to the fact that women aged <25 years were just after sexual debut, and the genital tissues were still immature.…”

Objectives Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are highly prevalent worldwide and may lead to some genital diseases. The objective of this large‐scale study was to estimate the prevalence characteristics of UU, CT, and NG among women in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Methods A total of 13 303 women who visited the gynecologic outpatient service of Taizhou First People's Hospital in Taizhou from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed. The testing of UU, CT, and NG was performed on the collected vaginal swabs using real‐time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) method. Results The overall infection rates of UU, CT, and NG were 62.04%, 10.20%, and 4.09% in the Taizhou‐based population, respectively. The age‐specific prevalence showed that younger women (age <25 years) were the preferred period for the positive detection of UU or CT, while elder women (age ≥40 years) had the highest prevalence of NG. In addition, the UU‐CT co‐infection pattern (7.32%) predominated in the study population, and CT was significantly associated with UU and NG. Conclusions Our novel data demonstrated that UU, CT, and NG infection are prevalent among women in Taizhou, and comprehensive UU, CT, and NG screening guidelines and treatment policies for this population are warranted.

“…It has been reported that about 14% of the Iranian population are suffering from migraine, which is higher than the global average (Farhadi et al, 2016; Lantéri‐Minet, Duru, Mudge, & Cottrell, 2011). A migraine attack is associated with reductions in the quality of life, productivity and utilisation of the labour force in the community, as well as financial burden (Farhadi et al, 2016; Lantéri‐Minet et al, 2011). While some previous studies have found that migraine is initiated in the central nervous system (CNS), others indicated that migraine might be caused by neurovascular and metabolic changes in the brain with dysfunctional intracranial and extracranial blood vessels (Gerring, Powell, Montgomery, & Nyholt, 2017).…”

Migraine is the most common type of primary headaches. Increased levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) and nitric oxide (NO) lead to inflammation and neurogenic pain. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of cinnamon on migraine attacks and inflammatory status. Fifty patients with migraine were randomized to receive either cinnamon powder (three capsules/day each containing 600 mg of cinnamon) or three placebo capsules/day each containing 100 mg of corn starch (control group) for 2 months. Serum levels of IL-6, CGRP and NO were measured at baseline and at the end of the study. The frequency, severity and duration of pain attacks were also recorded using questionnaire. Serum concentrations of IL-6 and NO were significantly reduced in the cinnamon group compared with the control group (p < .05). However, serum levels of CGRP remained unchanged in both groups. The frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks were significantly decreased in the cinnamon group compared with the control group. Cinnamon supplementation reduced inflammation as well as frequency, severity and duration of headache in patients with migraine. Cinnamon could be regarded as a safe supplement to relieve pain and other complications of migraine.

“…Headache and migraine have a considerable prevalence in such a way that in the review study done by Wober-Bingol on a group of children and adolescents demonstrated that the prevalence of headache and migraine were 54.4% and 9.1%, respectively (13). Furthermore, findings of the review study done by Farhadi et al in Iran showed that the general prevalence of migraine in Iran is 14%, which has great importance (14). These patients experienced different degrees of pain (15) and this factor affects life quality (16), life satisfaction (17), and mental health (18) of the patients.…”

Background: Migraine is one of the common diseases, which has been considered as one of the reasons of disability and since this disease is widespread, attention to this subject is necessity. Objectives: The aim of study was to determine the relationship between mindfulness and self-compassion with perceived pain in migraine patients. Methods: This was a descriptive analytic cross-sectional study, which was carried out on the 168 patients with migraine in the west of Iran, in Ilam, during year 2018. The tools used included several sections of mind-consciousness questionnaires, self-compassionate questionnaire, and numerical scale pain. Patients with migraine referring to Ilam health centers (hospitals, clinics, and offices) were studied in the research with the sampling method. The researcher collected data by referring to the required centers in order to sample. After data collection, data entry to SPSS statistical software version 16 was performed. Results: Mean ± SD of the total score of mind-consciousness variables was 53.33 ± 4.69, self-compassion was 71.48 ± 4.85, and pain was 3.33 ± 1.75. Findings showed that there is a correlation between mindfulness and pain (F = 81.78, P = 0.000, r = 0.57), and there is no relationship between self-compassion and pain (F = 0.004, P = 0.95, r = 0.005). Conclusions: Considering the effect of mindfulness in controlling pain, it is necessary to perform interventions based on mindconsciousness. Also, due to there being no relationship between self-compassionate behavior and pain, more research is needed in this area to provide researchers with complete information.
