It constitutes around 35 to 45% of mental health problems in Iran and covers 8% to 20% of population of Iran. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among the Iranian patients through systematic review and meta-analysis. Method: For the present study information were searched in Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and in Iranian databases including Iran Medex, SID, MedLib, Scientific Information Database, MagIran, using the following keywords: "depression", "prevalence" and Iran. The data from these databases were analyzed through meta-analysis (random effects model). Heterogeneity among the results of the studies was examined by I2 index. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used in this study, and statistical analyses were performed using STATA Ver.16. Results: A total of 46 studies conducted in Iran based on a sample size of 2960 individuals was found during the time period of 2010 and 2018. Prevalence of depression among Iranian patients was estimated to be 34.26 (95% CI, 24.12% - 44.10%). Thus, the findings indicated that there exists a moderate prevalence of depression which is continuously growing. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression in Iran is moderate and growing which is alarming as it may turn out to be a massive increase in incidence rate of depression in coming years. This indicates a greater risk for Iranian population and calls for effective measures to be taken to control the mental health problems among Iranian patients.

We aimed to compare the effect of dienogest and oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) on pain and QOL in women with endometriosis. METHODS This randomized double-blind trial was conducted at Rasoul-e-Akram hospital, affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, from March 2018 to March 2020, on women with severe endometriosis confirmed by laparoscopic surgery. Ninety patients were randomly given either dienogest (Vissane 2 mg tablet; n = 30), or OCPs (LD; n = 30), or placebo (n = 30) daily for 12 weeks. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the patient's pain including dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia, and pelvic pain. The secondary outcome was considered as a change in patients' QOL score. RESULTS The mean age of population was 32.99 ± 7.1 years. There was no significant difference in the three groups regarding baseline characteristic...

Understanding their prevalence in rarer dementias such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), young-onset AD (YOAD), and inherited dementias has implications for both clinical practice and research. In this study, we aimed to examine the current state of knowledge of the prevalence of these three NPS in less prevalent dementias. Design: We conducted a systematic review based on searches of EMBASE, PsycINFO, and PubMed up to September 2019. Results: 47 articles meeting inclusion criteria were identified. Depression, anxiety, and apathy were commonly reported across the phenotypes studied but their prevalence showed large variation between studies. Apathy showed the highest reported frequency in FTD (50–100% across studies), behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) (73–100%), an...
