Background: The concept of lifestyle as an important variable has been found in text books of nursing and has been closely associated with public health. This study was performed to explan the problems in order to promot their life style and peresent practical solution.
Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical study with problem solving procedure.We studied 116 nurses who were working in public hospitals. Instruments for gathering information included demographic data , lifestyle & nurses problems questionnaire and analyzed by using SPSS software (16 ver.).
Results: In regard to lifestyle 9.5% of nurses were in adverse condition, 52.6% were in moderately good, 37.9% were in good condition. Most undesirable behaviors were in the health responsibility dimension and the most desirable behavior was in smoking dimension. Most nurses problems in promoting healthy lifestyle were related to executive and managerial scope "excessive working hours" with a score of 1.72, environmental equipmental scope "inappropriate workplace conditions" with a score of 1.47, in educational scope "Lack of access to educational counsel regarding personal health issues" with an average of 1.37 and in individual & motivational scope" inadequate salary" with an average 1.77 .
Conclusion: According to the most identifed problems, the best solutions were presented based on data, text study, view of nurses and the thinking of research team. Among these solutions conducting "Training courses as workshop and seminar for nurses in regard to the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle" scored the highest. However to cover the rest of the solutions, forming "The promoting healthy lifestyle committee for nurses" was proposed

Background: Among
the prognostic factors, preoperative serum testosterone levels is the subject
of our study. Methods: 39 patients
between 40 to 75 years who was good candidate for RRP surgery in year 2012 in
hasheminejad kidnety center enrolled the study. Preoperative total serum
testosterone level of patients and Baseline sexual function was determined
based on the IIEF questionnaire. Patients 1-3-6 months after surgery, "the
Sexual function was evaluated with the IIEF questionnaire.Exclusion criteria
included: use of LHRH-Agonist before or after taking medications that may cause
ED. Adjuvant radiotherapy after surgery in patients who are candidates. Results: 6 months after surgery, ED was better than 1
and 3 month after surgery but worsen than before surgery. The ED of one, three
and six months after surgery in both groups was not significantly different
between the two groups. ED compared between the two groups preoperatively
Tstvtrvn less than 4, no significant differences were observed between the two
groups. Also examined other variables, such as BMI, Gleason score was also
significantly associated with the prevalence of ED. Conclusion: By the result
of this study, testosterone level before surgery is not a independent factor
which affect the potency of patients after RRP surgery.

Otitis media is one of the most common infectious diseases in children.
Approximately 85% of children will have otitis media at least once by the age of
3 months, and nearly 50% of children would have more than three times. The
objective of the this research was to detect Haemophilus
influenza, the most common cause of otitis media in children ,and to
determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of this organism. Methods: In this cross-sectional
study,a total of 102
specimens were collected during 6 months period from
patients with otitis media referred to Amir Alam Hospital in Tehran.Specimens were evaluated for Haemophilus influenzae by microscopic examination and culture. The
antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion method of
Kirby-Bauer and sensitivity
rate of tested antibiotics were assessed by evaluation diameter of the growth inhibitory
zone. Results: Out
of 102 tested specimens, 7 (6.9%) were identified
as Haemophilus influenzae . The rate of sensitivity of isolated Haemophilus
influenzae to different antibiotics was
trimethoprim (100%), vancomycin (85%), streptomycin (57%), tetracycline (57%),
and doxycycline (56%),and the rate of resistance to gentamycin
(85%), carbenicillin (70%) and cefixime (70%), clindamycin (70%) amikacin
(57%) amoxicillin (57%). Conclusion: With respect to appearance
of new resistance species especially to clinidomycin , amikiacin and amoxicilin
it is recommended to perform antibiotic susceptibility tests before the
initiation of treatment.

Background: Many of the
old age problems result from unhealthy lifestyles in this stage of life.
Focusing on successful aging and adopting Health-Promoting Behaviors (HPB)
can prevent and decrease aging problems which in turn decreases the financial
burden and related costs. Methods: This clinical
trial study was conducted on 464 elderly people over 60 years who were admitted
at Health Houses for 12 months. Participants were selected through a two-stage
cluster sampling and were placed in the control and intervention groups (232
participants in each group). The data collection tools included: a demographic
checklist, Palmore Facts on Aging Quiz and the second version of Health
Promoting Lifestyle Profile. The data were analyzed using the descriptive and
analytical tests such as paired T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The mean age
of the participants in this study was 65.9±3.6 years (range 60-73 yr). Results
showed a statistically significant difference between the case and intervention
group after the intervention in the mean scores of health promoting behaviors
total and subscale and awareness of aging facts.
Conclusion:
Aging
is an inevitable process of life. It can be postponed or its problems can be
decreased through focusing on effective educational intervention based on successful
aging programs and become a desirable and enjoyable stage

Background: Diabetes
is a main risk factor of ischemic heart disease. Troxerutin, a natural
bioflavonoid rutin, has many biologic properties, such anti-oxidative and
anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
interaction of diabetes with the protective effect of troxerutin on lipid
peroxidation and tissue injury induced by myocardial ischemia reperfusion
injury in rats. Methods: Male Wistar
rats (250-300 g) were divided into 4 groups: control, control+ drug, diabetic
and diabetic+drug. Diabetes was induced by single injection of streptozotocin
(50 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and the diabetic period was 10 weeks. After 6
weeks of diabetes, treatment groups were received 150 mg/kg/day troxerutin in
distilled water by oral gavage for 4 weeks. The hearts were removed quickly,
mounted on Langendorff apparatus, and then subjected to 30-minutes regional
ischemia followed by 60-minutes reperfusion. The levels of lipd peroxidation
(MDA) of left ventricular supernatant and level of creatine kinase (CK) release
in coronary flow were measured by spectrophotometric method using special kits. Results: STZ increased
blood glucose in the diabetic group than in the control group. Troxerutin could
reduce blood glucose in diabetic group, but this reduction was not
statistically significant. MDA levels were increased in diabetic rats compared
to control ones and troxerutin treatment could reduce MDA levels in diabetic
group (p<0.05). Diabetes causes release of large amounts of CK compared to
the control group. TXR administration reduces the level of this enzyme in the
diabetic group.
Conclusion:
Troxerutin reduced lipid peroxidation and tissue injury probably by preventing
oxidative stress and activation antioxidative system especially in diabetic
rats and can have the protective effects on damage induced by myocardial
ischemia and reperfusion

Introduction: Few
studies have investigated the association between dietary patterns, general and
central obesity in type 2 diabetic patients. The aim of this study is to
determine this relation among type 2 diabetic patients living in Tehran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study,
728 patients with type 2 diabetes from the Tehran diabetes centers were
participated. Usual dietary intake was assessed by using a validated
semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) during the last year.
General obesity was defined as a BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2
and central obesity was defined as waist circumference (WC) ≤ 88 in women and WC≤ 102
in men. Factor analysis was used to identify major dietary patterns. The
association between dietary patterns and different types of obesity were
assessed by logistic regression analysis. Findings: Two
maijor dietary patterns were identified: Healthy and Unhealthy dietary pattern.
After adjustment for confounding variables, we observed a relative risk of 3.2
(OR=3.2, 95% CI=1.7-5.8) and 1.8 (OR=1.8, 95% CI=1.05-3) for general and
central obesity when comparing the highest to lowest quintiles of the unhealthy
dietary pattern, while subjects in the highest quintile of the healthy dietary
pattern scores, had a 56% decreased risk of general obesity compared to those
in the lowest (OR=0.44, 95% CI= 0.25-0.76). Conclusion: The
result of this study indicate that healthy dietary pattern was inversly
associated with a risk of general obesity and unhealthy dietary pattern was
positively associated with general and central obesity risk.

Colostrum is the only natural source of transforming growth
factors (TGF-α and β) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and 2) which play
a role in wound healing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the
effects of bovine colostrum on secondary wound healing in a guinea pig model. Methods Lyophilized bovine colostrum powder, in the form of an ointment
(10 % w/w dried powder in semisolid paraffin ointment base), was evaluated for
wound-healing potential in an excision wound in guinea pigs. The guinea pigs
were divided into two groups of treatment (colostrums ointment) and control
(ointment base), each group consisting of six guinea pigs. All animals were anaesthetized and
a full-thickness excision wound (square area of 400 mm2) was created
in the dorsum skin of all guinea pigs. Wound contraction and total wound healing rates were evaluated. Results Colostrum ointment found to possess wound healing activity which
was evidenced by an increase in the rates of wound contraction and total wound
healing when compared with the control group, although differences were not
statistically significant. Conclusion Results of this study indicated that
bovine colostrum could improve quality of wound healing but more studies will
need to be done to clarify whole bovine colostrum role in burn and infectious
wounds.

Background: The goal of the current research
was investigation of effect of aerobic exercise on glucose, insulin and insulin
resistance in overweight-obese subclinical hypothyroidism women. Methods: This study was semi-experimental.
After medical screening 23 women suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism
disorder with age average of 41.08 ±6.56 years and BMI over 25 kg/m2 ,
were objectively selected and randomly divided into two groups: control (N=13)
and experimental (N=10). Initially their height, weight, BMI,, Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) and the serum levels of
fasting glucose, insulin T4 and TSH were measured. Insulin
resistance was calculated via HOMA-IR model. Then samples of experimental group
performed aerobic exercise. The control
group received no intervention and were just followed. After 12 weeks all
variables were measured again. For intra group comparison of data
depended t-test was used and for group comparison independent t-test was used
(p value ≤0.05). Results: After 12 weeks of symphonic aerobic exercise in
experimental group body composition including weight, BMI, WHR, and also
insulin levels, insulin resistance and TSH had
significant reduction no significant change in fasting glucose was seen and T4
levels had increased. In control group insulin and insulin resistance were significantly increased, too. Conclusion: The reduction of
cardiovascular disease and reduction of insulin resistance among over
weight-obese sub clinical hypothyroidism women is probably possible through weight decreasing with aerobic
exercises.

Background: Nowadays emotional intelligence is considered as a new subject in the field of psychology. Studies
performed in this area, suggest the role of emotional intelligence and its
components in various aspects of life such as educational attainment, marriage,
career and social relationships. Academic life , is one of the most important
aspects of an individual’s life influences other aspects of it. In
this regard, one of the fundamental problems of academic life and educational
system of each country is the issue educational failure and low academic
performance of its students. Methods: The present study is
cross-sectional carried out to investigate the relationship between emotional
intelligence and academic achievement of the students. The study population
consisted of 126 female students and 95 male students of Shahid Beheshti
University of Medical Sciences who were selected by simple random sampling
method. The research tools used in this study was bar-on questionnaire. This questionnaire was validated in Iran and
has been used in various studies. Also the overall GPA (grade point average was used
to measure the academic performance) of
students was used. For data analysis methods and statistical tests, two-tailed
Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression analysis,
independent t-test and chi-square were used. Results: The findings showed that the
mean age of participants in the study is 22.43±2.42 yr. Given
the obtained correlation coefficient (r=0.478), there was a significant
positive correlation between emotional intelligence and academic achievement.
The general relationship between gender and emotional intelligence was not
significant (p <0.07). But the
results of stepwise multiple regression showed that the three components of
emotional intelligence [assertiveness (p <0.001), optimism (p <0.001) and
emotional self-consciousness (p <0.015)], had significant predicted roles in
academic improvement of students. Conclusion: This study showed that there is
a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic
achievement. Thus in order to achieve
high levels of academic and educational skills, in addition to general
cognitive ability, an individual should be able
to control emotions. In other words students
without access to components that make the emotional intelligence, are not able
to learn effectively and more importantly will not be able to use this learning and experiences.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe)
is the plant that today is used in abundance all around the world. In
the past, this plant had been an important part of Chinese medicine, Hindi
traditional medicine and Greek medicine. It was used in the treatment of various
diseases like flu, rheumatism, nervous diseases, gingivitis, toothache, asthma,
stroke, constipation and diabetes. To date, several animal and human studies have investigated the effect of
ginger on blood glucose and lipids. The information of this article is obtained based on the results of our
search in pubmed and elsevier databases. According to the findings of most
studies in this basis, it seems that ginger probably can decrease blood glucose and
insulin, increase insulin sensitivity and improves lipid profile, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this review, we represent
some of these studies and discuss the
possible mechanisms of the effect of ginger on glycemia and lipid profile.

Objective: Very low birth weight(VLBW) babies constitute
approximately 4%-7% of all live births and the mortality in this subgroup is
high, contributing to as much as 30% of early neonatal deaths. Some scoring system like the
Clinical Risk Index for Babies(CRIB) Score and the Score for Neonatal Acute
Physiology (SNAP), for assessing the risk of mortality frequently utilized in
newborns. The predictive value of CRIB (Clinical Risk Index for babies) for the
survival of very low birth weight neonates(VLBW) was determined. Methods: In this cross-sectional study from 2002 to 2008,
the CRIB score was applied to all newborns (n=494) with a birth weight of
<1,500 g and gestational age <37 weeks. Predictive value of CRIB
(Clinical Risk Index for Babies) for mortality of neonates was determined and
compared with that of gestational age and birth weight. Results: Four
hundred ninety four very low birth weight neonates were included in this study.
From those, 261 were expired giving a mortality rate of 52.5%. The mean CRIB
was 14.52 ± 2.4 (range: 7-25).Mean CRIB of expired neonates was significantly
higher than survivors (15.34 ± 2.6 vs. 13.5 ± 1.7 p<0.0001). In the
Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analysis, the optimal cutoff point for
the CRIB score to identify neonates at the risk of mortality was 13 with 82%
sensitivity, specificity of 50%, positive predictive value of 65% and negative
predictive value of 72%. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative
predictive values of gestational age under 31 weeks for predicting mortality
were also 83%,63%,71% and 77%, respectively. In addition, sensitivity,
specificity, positive and negative predictive values of birth weight for
predicting mortality with the cutoff point of 1000 gr were 35% ,92%,84%, and
56%,respectively. Conclusion: CRIB score can be used for identifying
neonates at risk of mortality and predicting the neonatal outcome. However, the
predictive value of CRIB is not higher than birth weight or gestational age.

Background: Error detecting is known
as basis of patient safety improvement .With
ethical and professional commitment providers for disclosing the error
report, errors reporting among nurses
is much less than the actual amount. The purpose of this study was to investigate nurse managers perspectives about
reasons for not reporting medical errors in Firoozgar Hospital. Methods:This study was a
descriptive cross-sectional,analytical study in 1391 among all supervisors were in Firoozgar Hospital.Data were gathered by questionnaire.The questionnaire
included demographic information and the second part of the questionnaire was
about effective factors in lack of their reporting. Data was analyzed by descriptive
statistics using SPSS. Results: In
this study reasons for not reporting error divided to legal, supervisional
rules, financial and organizational culture factors.The results
of the present investigation showed that fear of punishment by
direct supervisor and high work load , exposed to accuse
and unimportant and unhelpful error
reporting were most important. Creating an extra work for the person (for reporting) and losing reputation and
business perspective had the highest importance. Also supervisors had different
important views about being
cost-effective report and canceling the contract .Some of them believed
that not being cost-effective And canceling the contract
report had the least important but others thought vice versa. Conclusion:Fear of consequences reporting was one of the most
important reason for not reporti. It is essential to develop an efficient
system to document and report errors in order to decrease medication errors. So
nursing managers should react positively
towards the reports of medication errors by nursing .

Background: Prenatal asphyxia is one of the important causes of morbidity and
mortality in neonates. Several studies tried to find a marker for early
diagnosis of prenatal asphyxia. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic value of
urinary uric acid to creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio in perinatal asphyxia. Methods: In this study, 48 term infants with prenatal asphyxia and 48 healthy
neonates were compared in terms of uric acid to creatinine ratio in urine
samples from the first 24 hours of birth. Demographic data including sex, birth
weight, gestational age, and mode of delivery were also recorded. Results: The mean uric acid to creatinine ratio was significantly higher in
infants with asphyxia than the control group (respectively, 2.1 ± 1.00 vs. 0.8
± 0.20 p= 0.0001). The urine UA / Cr
ratio was also positively and significantly associated with the severity of
asphyxia (p= 0.0001). Urine UA / Cr values were not related to neonatal sex, gestational age, and
birth weight. However, the ratio was higher in emergency c-section (2± 0.90) compared with elective caesarean section (1.3
± 0.90) and vaginal (1.26 ± 0.90). Cut-off point equal to 1.20 appears to be
the most appropriate cutoff for urine UA / Cr ratio with 87% sensitivity, 91%
specificity, and accuracy of the 5.89%, in the diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia
in term infants. Conclusions: Urine UA / Cr ratio can be introduced as a marker for early, easy and
cost effective detection of perinatal asphyxia.
