From the point of view of the authors of this article, the types of medical misinformation can be divided into three general categories, emphasizing that this categorization does not have precise and mathematical boundaries: 1) Misinformation type 1 (Dissemination of totally incorrect medical information): In this case, the sender (individual or media) disseminates medical information that is completely medically incorrect and causes an information disorder that can harm the health of the individual and society. 2) Misinformation Type 2 (Propagation of medical pseudoscience): In this case, the sender (individual or media) presents irrelevant medical information and a person may express correct presuppositions or correct propositions incorrectly or draw incorrect conclusions from them. This case will cause an information disorder and possible damage to the health of the individual and the society. 3) Misinformation Type 3 (Conditional recommendations): In this case, the sender (individual or media) advises and offers medical information, which after being reviewed and evaluated by clinical experts or health scientists, their validity and strength are still completely unknown and is not approved but it is used in special conditions or special situations depends on the special conditions of each individual patient. This case, like the previous two cases, has caused information disorders, and although the purpose of these advices is not to harm others, it can cause damage to the health of the individual and the society through circulating the relatively correct medical information among the society.

Introduction: This research investigates the articles' structure and thematic relationships in environmental health. Studying scientific outputs using scientometric indicators is an effective tool for understanding scientific research.Methods: The present research was conducted with a scientometric approach to content analysis of texts using the co-occurrence method of words and social network analysis. The statistical population includes 7438 articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) in the field of environmental health in the period 2011-2020. Data analysis was done using cluster analysis method and strategic diagram.Results: The findings showed that in terms of the frequency of public health keywords, air pollution and climate change were the most frequent in environmental health researches. The findings related to hierarchical clustering led to the formation of 10 clusters in this area, and the clusters of "heavy metals" and "air pollution" were identified as clusters with high centrality and density.Conclusion: According to the abundance of keywords and clusters obtained from the strategic diagram, it was found that the topics of heavy metals and air pollution are emerging fields in this field. Some important issues related to environmental health, such as environmental health management, water quality management, etc., have received less attention.Keywords: Environmental Health, Thematic Clusters, Thematic Structure, Scientometrics, Co-Word Analysis.

Introduction: Resistive economy as a new concept/doctorine has entered to the Iranian economics literature several years ago. However, in order to be applied efficiently, a common perception among experts is necessary regarding its definition, instances and requirements. Thus, this study was conducted with the aim of general explanation of resistive economy concepts, its instances and requirements as well as identification of its requirements in health sector based on the experts’ opinions.Methods: In this qualitative study, 8 in-depth and face-to-face interviews were conducted with some economist as well as some health economists who were selected through purposive sampling methods. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the conventional content analysis method. MAXQDA Analytics Pro2020 (VERBI GmbH Berlin) Release 20.4.0 was used for coding and data management.Results: Two concepts of “economic resilience” and “comprehensive concept of resistive economy” were identified. Then, the instances and requirements related to these two concepts were determined. An anti-shock economy, an oil-free economy, economic productivity and change were identified as instances of “economic resilience” and justice-oriented, knowledge-based, endogenous, extraversion, democratized, jihadi culture, Islamization of the economy, and resistive economy as a political economy were identified as the instances of “comprehensive concept of resistive economy”. The instances and requirements of resistive economy in health sector were also elaborated. Conclusion: There are numerous interpretations of resistive economy. Based on expert opinions, resiliency is a very important specification of that economy, but other specifications should also exist to address the comprehensiveness of the concept. In order to implement and operationalize the resistive economy in various sectors including the health sector, the first step is to reach a common understanding of resistive economy amongst the experts.
