Abstract
Abstract Aim. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of concentric and eccentric isokinetic contractions and subsequent recovery period on the hemodynamic factors in men. Background. Nowadays, with advances in technology and producing the innovative training equipment, performing different resistance exercise protocols for improving the muscular and cardiovascular function is possible. Method. In this quasi-experimental study, ten healthy male subjects were volunteered to participate in the study and performed two protocols of Concentric/Concentric (CON/CON) and Eccentric/Eccentric (ECC/ECC) isokinetic contractions (4 sets, 10 repetitions, 60˚/S) including knee flexion and extension with dominant leg, in two separate sessions. Hemodynamic factors were measured before, immediately and 30 min after exercise. Findings. Statistical analyses of data showed that hemodynamic parameters increased in response to both isokinetic contractions (p<0.001) and decreased following recovery period. Moreover, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Rate Pressure Product (RPP) responses to two types of contractions (CON/CON and ECC/ECC) were significantly different (p<0.05). Regardless of contraction type, the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) increased significantly from 1st set to 4th set though, these changes were not significantly different between two protocols (p>0.05). Conclusion. Hemodynamic changes in response to CON/CON was higher than ECC/ECC protocol which shows that the acute ECC/ECC is safer than CON/CON protocol.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the
effect of damask rose on sleep
quality of patients undergoing angiography admitted to cardiac care unit.
Background. Sleep is one of the basic human
needs and determine the health and recovery. Most patients hospitalized in
cardiac care unit experience some degrees of sleep disorder.
Method. In this double-blind clinical trial,
90 patients were randomly allocated to experimental (n=45) and control (n=45)
group. Data collection instrument consisted of demographic data and St. Mary's
Hospital Sleep Questionnaire (SMHSQ). In experimental group, damask rose
extract was given by oral route, 15 drops every 8 hours. The patients in
control group received placebo by oral route, 15 drops every 8 hours. Data were
collected, before and after intervention and were analyzed in SPSS 16 using descriptive and
inferential statistic.
Findings. Both groups were homogeneous in
terms of demographic characteristics. There was no statistically significant
between groups in terms of sleep quality, but, a statistically significant
difference was found between sleep quality, before and after intervention, in
each group.
Conclusion. A significant difference before and
after treatment in both groups can show that any effort by the nursing staff
even drop placebo may have an effect on sleep quality. Damask rose extract was
not found to have a significant effect on quality of sleep in control group compared
with the control group. It is recommended to replicate the study with longer
duration of intervention and/ or changing the method of damask rose
administration.
