3; 95% confidence interval 2.2, 27.4; P less then 0.005). Conclusions About half of laboratory technicians in Yemen reported that they had been injured in the past 12 months, with the needle stick being the most common cause of injury. Therefore, there is a need for targeted interventions to laboratory technicians to increase their awareness on the risk of injuries in the laboratory. Bio-safety training among laboratory technicians deemed very necessary.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between food security and socioeconomic status with anthropometric indices among 2-5-year-old urban children in eight different cities in Iran. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, anthropometric Z scores of 7028 children of urban area were measured by using World Health Organization (WHO) Anthro software based on WHO 2007 standards. Family food security was assessed by using HFIAS 9-item questionnaire. Socioeconomic status as well as health factors were analyzed using the SPSS. Results Based on the present study, significant correlation was observed between sleep time, birth weight, and food security (P 0.05). Conclusion It was shown that 2-5 years old children's life are the most vital and vulnerable to the hazards of undernutrition or overweight and obesity, which could affect the whole health of the person. As food security affects BMI, it is important to focus more on this issue in order to improve child's health status.

The aim of this study was to examine the association between tea, coffee, and soft drink consumption and coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Methods Out of all the patients, 208 cases (101 Female) with 57.81 ± 12.18 (mean ± SD) were assigned to participate in this cross-sectional study. In total, 168-items, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire collected for assessments of dietary intakes of black tea, coffee, caffeine, and soft drinks and record demographic and clinical questionnaire. Epicatechin purchase Results There were negative association between arteries with stenosis of more than 50% number with dietary intakes of tea (P = 0.011, r = - 0.187), coffee (P = 0.069, r = - 0.098) intakes, and dietary caffeine intake (P = 0.043, r = -0.118). The high consumptions of soft drinks (P = 0.005, r = 0.387) were associated with an enhancement in arteries with stenosis of more than 50% number. In addition, dietary consumption of black tea have a negatively significant association with the history of previous angiography (P = 0.044, r = -0.121), the history of previous Stanton (P = 0.035, r = -0.132), and coronary artery bypass graft surgery nomination (P = 0.008, r = -0.216). Coffee consumption showed a significant negative relationship with engagement for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (P = 0.004, r = -0.598). Conclusions Dietary intakes of tea, coffee, and caffeine may have a negative relationship with CAD and cardio vascular diseases. Healthy dietary lifestyle is an important issue for the prevention of chronic diseases.
