SARS ‑CoV‑2 Interaction with Human DNA Methyl Transferase 1: A Potential Risk for Increasing the Incidence of Later Chronic Diseases in the Survived Patients
Currently, the COVID ‑19 pandemic is the most discussed subject in medical researches worldwide. As the knowledge is expanded about the disease, more hypotheses become created. A recent study on the viral protein interaction map revealed that SARS‑CoV‑2 open reading frame 8 (ORF8) interacts with human DNA methyl t ransferase1 (DNMT1), an active epigenetic agent in DNA methylation. Moreover, DNMT1 is a contributor to a variety of chronic diseases which could cause some epigenetic dysregulation in infected cells, especially leukocytes, pancreatic beta, and endothelial cells. Regarding the fact that epigenetic a lterati...

Prevalence of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Children with Renal Failure Underwent Treatment with Dialysis
Conclusions: The prevalence of NAFLD in our studied children with renal failure who underwent treatment with dialysis was like the general population and it was not associated with the biochemical and anthropometric characteristics of the patients. Given the importance of NAFLD in renal failure patients as well as its subtle nature, it is recommended to screen patients with CKD for NAFLD. (Source: International Journal of Preventive Medicine)

The Effect of Low Frequency Noises Exposure on the Precision of Human at the Mathematical Tasks
Conclusions: We concluded that low frequency noises could reduce the person ’s precision. While for 125 Hz noises, just increasing of the exposure time was effective on the precision reduction. But for 250 Hz noises, both parameters increasing including exposure time and sound pressure levels, was effective. (Source: International Journal of Preventive Medicine)
