In order to conduct this treatment, it sounds important to understand its effects. The Patients: Three patients underwent extracorporeal lithotripsy due to renal stone, ventricular tachycardia incurred during lithotripsy. None of the patients had a history of heart problems. Electrocardiograph was taken three times, before, during, and after lithotripsy. The relationship between ESWL related dysrhythmia and autonomic neural activity was also evaluated by heart rate spectral analysis. Ventricular tachycardia was observed at 1400 average of the incoming wave pulse. Arrhythmia itself was off after ESWL was ended. Conclusion: The occurrence of ventricular tachycardia during lithotripsy should be considered as an important issue and should be studied more carefully to prevent cardiovascular patients before, during, and after ESWL.}, Keywords = {Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, Kidney stones, Ventricular tachycardia }, volume = {1}, Number = {2}, pages = {7-12}, publisher = {Torbat Heydarieh University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://jms.thums.ac.ir/article-1-38-en.html}, eprint = {http://jms.thums.ac.ir/article-1-38-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2716-9669}, eissn = {2716-9669}, year = {2013} } @article{ author = {Keshavarz, M and Rahimi, M and Esmaeili, Z}, title = {The Effect of e-Learning on the Academic Development of University Students}, abstract ={Background: E- Learning gives students an ability to learn through Internet and modify their learning in this process.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of training program based on BASNEF model on blood pressure control. Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study that was conducted on 158 female patients with hypertension who used primary health care centers. Method of sampling was multistage. In the first stage, 20 primary health care centers were randomly selected and randomly divided into control and interventional groups. Then 79 female patients from each group were randomly selected. Data collection tool was a questionnaire the validity and reliability of which were confirmed by experts and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data was collected and analyzed by SPSS version 16 using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The mean age of intervention and control groups was 62.05 ± 13.13 and 63.25 ± 13.17, respectively. The results showed that in intervention group, the mean of systolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 139/67 to 124/73 mmHg x. Also the mean of diastolic blood pressure significantly went down from 85.88 to 80.27 mm Hg(p <0/001).The enabling factors with effect of 0.329 among the model structurs was the strongest predictor of hypertension.
