Objective: To evaluate the presence/severity of depression, anxiety, and stress among health care workers(HCWs) who work on the specially allocated COVID-19 ward (Group A) and HCWs on the other wards(Group B).Methods: This questionnaire-based study was conducted from January 25 to February 28, 2021. The mentalstatus was assessed using the Persian version of the 42-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress score (DASS-42).Gathered data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. The independent T-test and Chi-square tests were used tocompare quantitative and qualitative variables.Results: Two-hundred and twenty two questionnaires were eligible for analysis. Group A consisted of 33HCWs, and 189 (85.1%) individuals were working on the other wards. No statistically significant differenceswere seen regarding the Socio-demographic features except for the marital status (p=0.005). The depressions’mean score was comparable between group A and B (p=0.102). The mean scores of anxiety and stress weresignificantly lower in group A than group B (p=0.006), although the frequency of DASS-42 parameters did notdiffer between these two groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Contrary to our assumptions, this study showed that the DASS-42 parameters were not higher inHCWs working on the COVID-19 wards. This might be justified by developing coping mechanisms, being onthe honeymoon phase of the disaster, compassion satisfaction, promising vaccine news, and working on theless impacted hospital.

Objective: To compare the stability of the radius stabilized fractured parts by volar and dorsal planting based on modeling approach. Methods: Ten forearm models were created based on Computed Tomography (CT) Scan images by using of Mimics software. The distal part fracture of radius was induced in the models. The stress were developed and implanted in various parts of the bone and and their displacement were evaluated in volar and dorsal inserted implants. Results: The results of this study showed that the stress developed in screws, implant and bony parts differed significantly between volar and dorsal plate conditions. The displacement of implant and bony parts in volar plating was more than dorsal plating (p=0.05). However, the screws displacement in dorsal plating significantly increased compared to volar plating. Conclusion: The stress developed in dorsal and volar implants is not too high to fail the structure. However, it seems that the irritation of soft tissue and tendon would be less in volar inserted implant than dorsal implant. It is recommended to use valor plating to be a good approach for stabilizing the distal part fracture of radius.
