This social difficulty in addition to, physical and mental problems it causes, has social consequences. There fore, researchers decided to investigate on physical injuries reffered to forensic centers to have a useful effect or removing this anti-social phenomenon in society. This cross-sectional study studied partner mis treatment, frequency of types and effectors on it in Autumn 2000. Data is collected from all women reffered to women’s ward of forensic center of Tehran in order to admit violence of spove. Each of them filled a check list consisted of demographic characteristics, type, frequency, history of violence, the causes of disagreement in the family & partner’s demographic data. 87.2% of studied women were diploma or under. The average age was 28.9 (28-29.8) years and was 20.2.(19.6-20.8) 68.7% of them were hort. By injuring instroments, 58.7% of theirchildren were beated and 40.1% were alcohol users and 42.41% drug-abusers respectedly. In a overall view, causes sochas young being, low educational status of each partner, being houskeeper, alcohol using and drug-abusing by the partners are the most inportant related causes of partner mistreatment. There fore general & special education are recommended to stay against this social problem, also reporting of these cases by physician & psychiatrist is recommended to avoid worse complications.}, Keywords = {1) Violence 2) Women 3) Forensic Medicine }, volume = {9}, Number = {31}, pages = {485-490}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-670-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-670-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2228-7043}, eissn = {2228-7051}, year = {2003} } @article{ author = {Bayanzadeh, S.A and NoriGhasemabadi, R and KarbaliNori, A}, title = {SURVEYING THE CONDITION OF CHRONIC SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS AND THEIR CARERS AFTER DISCHARGE}, abstract ={ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to depict the condition of chronic schizophrenic patients and their carers after discharge regarding functions and quality of life of patients as well as carers burden. To this end a series of questionairs including family experiences interview scale (FEIS), Morningside rehabilitation status scale (MRSS) and Wisconsin quality of life (WQL) were administered on 260 schizophrenic palients and 261 carers. Finding revealed that tensions (70%) and negative emotions (94%) were prevalent in the majority of the carers. The function of caring for the ill member of the family had intrupted the routine life of most carers, more than half of the patients were moderately dependent on others, they were redundent/jobless and had limited social interactions. As for avocation 72% of patients, listened to radio or audio cassettes and did walking. Over half of the patients experienced difficulties for conducting their different functions. This group have perceived their mental health status at undesirable level. However, the patients were content with their quality of life except for inadequate recreation and feeling lonely. These findings imply the necessity for the provision of psycho-social services for patients and their carers.

But despite of the advantages mentioned above, After one or two times of injecting the ampoule many women referred to Health center and asked for discontinuing ampoule. This matter needs study and research to clarify the reasons of discontinuing ampoule, an focusing on the probable effects of this prevention method. Research was conducted with the aim of specifying the reasons for stopping the injection of ampoule in 900 women who refer to Health and Treatment centers of Iran University of Medical sciences. The data was collected during 10 months through questionare and interview with the women who stoped injecting the ampoule. Results indicated that %61 of cases discontinued injecting the ampoule after 1-2 times and %40 of cases had delayed menstruation after discontinuing it. The most important reasons of stoping the injection were disorder in menstruation(%53.6), Amenoreha(50.6), headache(%33.5) and decrease of sexual tendency(20.3). Therefor most important task of clinic staff working at family planning units, is selecting women for DMPA with notice and follow them up regularly in the case of choosing ampoule as preventive method.

At one week post op 89.5% of V and 91.2% of N group had WTRA and no ATRA. At one month post op 38.2% of V and 33.8% of N had WTRA while 35.8% of V and 36.6% of N developed ATRA. After 3 months 3.7% of V and 4.9% of N had WTRA while 81.4% of V and 83.5% of N had ATRA. After 6 months and on final, visit 2.4% of V and 3.2% of N had WTRA and 80.8% of V and 83.6% of N group were ATRA. For each period of time there was no significant statistical differences between V and N (P>0.05) but there was statistically significant differences between preop and one week, one week and one month, one month and 3 months (P<0.05) but not between 3 months and 6 months astigmatism. There is no differences in induced astigmatism and it decay in cataract extration by scleral flap incisionn and horizontal suturing between V. and N.}, Keywords = { 1) Cataract operation 2) Induced Astigmatism 3) Suture material}, volume = {9}, Number = {31}, pages = {593-602}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-685-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-685-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2228-7043}, eissn = {2228-7051}, year = {2003} } @article{ author = {Nickavar, A and Moghimi, A and Chehrei, A}, title = {BIRTH PARAMETERS IN 1000 IRANIAN HEALTHY NEWBORN AT FIROOZABADI HOSPITAL}, abstract ={The determination of birth parameters is one of the first and main works in every newborn and composed of height, weight, head and chest circumference measurements. Because of the impression of social, economical,cultural differences in fetal growth and birth parameters, the determination of these parameters seems necessary in different groups of people. In this study in 1000 health newborns, these parameters was measured and matched by the standard NCHS. This is a cross-sectional study in 1000 healthy Iranian newborn that were born at Firoozabadi hospital in Tehran. The parameters of height, weight, head and chest circumference were measured by one pediatrician and by unique tools. Multiple longitudinal regression models has been used for the prediction anthropometric characteristics. Male/Female was 1/1. The boys’ means of weight and height were meaningfully higher than the girls’ (P=0.009, P=0.003). The means of weight and head circumference were meaningfully different by the NCHS reports and were less than those. The mean of girls’ height was meaningfully more than the NCHS, but the mean of boy’s height had no significant difference by the NCHS. For prediction of height, weight and head circumference by the results of this paper and by the regression methods, some models are offered. In this study we have meaningful difference between height, weight, head circumference of both newborn sexes by the NCHS standards, which are not clinically significant, but the role of some social, economical, maternal and placental factors are important in this difference and so more researches in our country and between different groups of people is necessary.}, Keywords = { 1) Newborn 2) Height 3) Weight 4) Head circumference 5) Chest circumference}, volume = {9}, Number = {31}, pages = {603-608}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-686-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-686-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2228-7043}, eissn = {2228-7051}, year = {2003} } @article{ author = {Hashemi, F and Sheikholeslami, S.SH.}, title = {SOFT TISSUE LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT}, abstract ={A 68 year old lady visited a surgeon due to swelling of her right thigh for about three months.

The patients received either magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg preoperatively and 8 mg/kg/h intraoperatively or the same volume of isotonic solution intravenously. Anesthesia was performed with midazolam (0.2mg/kg for induction, 1μg/kg /min for maintenance) and fentanyl (3 μg/kg) for induction, and atracurium (0.5 mg/kg) for intubation. Intraoperative pain was defined as an increase of systolic blood preasure and heart rate of more than 20% from baseline values (systolic blood preasure and heart rate 5 min after intubation) and was treated with bolus fentanyl (1-2μg/kg). Postoperative analgesia was achieved with fentanyl (0.5 μg/kg) and evaluated using the pain visual analog scale for 4h (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240min). Also 24h after surgery a blood sample was taken from the patients in order to measure serum norepinephrine. During intra-and postoperative period, patients in case group required significantly less fentanyl than those in control group (control group 75+40.18μg versus case group 41+32.97μg, p=0.002 and control group 153+65.87 μg versus case group 72+52.69 μg p=0.001 for intra and postoperative period, respectively) but there is no significant difference in serum level of norepinephrine between two groups. (case group 0.318+0.109 versus control group 0.312+0.182, p=0.9). We concluded that magnesium sulfate, although, reduce the intraoperative and postoperative pain and fentanyl requirement, but there is no significance difference in serum norepinephrine level 24h after surgery between two groups.

The best method is histological examination and search for helicobacter pylori in the specimens by specific staining. In papers be said probably, there is corrolation between helicobacter pylori and chronic cholecystitis, which predispose to gallbladder cancer. If this relationship is approved, management of chronic cholecystitis displased from surgical to medical therapy and eliminate unnecessary thousands cholecystectomy for prevention of gallbladder cancer. In this study we evaluated 100 gallbladder specimens from paitients with diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis that undergone surgery. Initially specimens exmined for existence of gallastones, then provided small sections of body-fundus and neck of gallbladder, and after special processing stained by hematoxilin-Eosin and giemsa methods.
