Abstract
Background & Objectives : Social phobia is one of the common anxiety disorders characterized by fear of social situations, shame and embarrassment in communicating with unfamiliar people. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy in reducing anxiety and depression in students with social phobia . Methods: An experimental pretest-posttest with control group design was used to conduct the study. The population consists of all female students in Ardabil city, 2013-2014 academic years. Using a multiple-stage cluster sampling method, a representative sample consists of 400 students was selected for the study. Then, among the students those with social phobia (based on the cut-off point), 34 participants were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 17 people (one experimental group and one control group) . The participants in experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy for 10 sessions of 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention. Anxiety, depression and social phobia questionnaires were administered to the two groups before and after the intervention. Descriptive statistics and multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA) were used for data analysis. Results: The results of data analysis showed that treatment based on acceptance and commitment therapy reduces anxiety, depression and social phobia of students in the experimental group compared with the control group (p<0.001) . Conclusion: The present study showed that acceptance and commitment therapy for students with social phobia can be used as a psychological intervention along with other intervention mechanisms.

Abstract
Neuroarthropathy occurs following the loss of pain sensation in a joint. Martin Charcot was the first researcher who explained this strange, non-infectious destruction of bone and joints. This disease mostly affects the lower extremity of patients, especially their feet and ankle. In this paper, we present a rare case of simultaneous neuroarthropathy in the wrist and ankle of a 39-year-old man with no history of diabetes. Simultaneous neuroarthropathy of two joints and its occurrence in uncommon parts of the body like the wrist is quite rare and might lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a significant risk factor for postoperative complications and mortality. However, there are different opinions about the relationship between the increase in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and the incidence of surgical complications.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 189 diabetic patients referred to Sabalan Hospital in Ardabil who were admitted for surgery were examined in 2021. The data related to demographic information, HbA1c test, postoperative complications, and the outcome of patients’ hospitalization were extracted from the records and entered into the researcher-made checklist. Patients were divided into two groups of uncontrolled diabetes with HbA1c of 7 and above and the controlled diabetes group with HbA1c below 7.
Results: Out of 189 patients included in the study, 97 patients were in the uncontrolled diabetes group, and 92 patients were in the controlled diabetes group. The average age of diabetic patients in uncontrolled and controlled diabetes groups was 58.18±8.91 and 61.84±5.52, respectively. According to the results, surgical site infection and the need for re-surgery during hospitalization showed a significant relationship with an HbA1c level (p≤0.05). Other postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: It seems logical that elective surgeries should be postponed in HbA1c levels higher than 7% because the presence of high HbA1c levels indicates that the patient’s diabetes is not under control, and as a result, there is a higher probability of chronic complications of diabetes as well as a higher risk for post-operative complications.
