This study concerns with the effects of Warfarin rodenticide on development and survival of some fly maggots. Maggots were collected off warfarin intoxicated and non-toxicated rabbits. These were laboratory reared on tissues of control rabbits. Other group of control larvae was reared on pieces of beef mixed with 19 different concentrations of Warfarin. Intoxicated larvae of both groups had shorter developmental periods from first instar larvae to pupae indicating faster development of these larvae as compared to control ones. The overall duration periods (first instar larvae to Adults) for the fly species resulted from larvae fed rabbit tissues (specially <em>Lucilia sericata, Chrysomya albiceps </em>and <em>C</em>. <em>megacephala</em>) generally indicate faster development of intoxicated larvae than control ones (P˂0.01). The different Warfarin concentrations had its effects on emerged adults: (1) 52.63% of larvae that were exposed to 20 to 200 ppm failed to complete its development to adult stage, (2) 31.58% of larvae yielded adults with sluggish movements and died within minutes, (3) 5.26% of larvae yielded adults with different forms of abnormalities and malformations and (4) 10.53% of larvae emerged normal adults. The study concluded that like other toxins and drugs, Warfarin has an effect in accelerating the development of dipteran larvae which is an important indication of cause of death and may be a useful tool for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation based on entomological evidences.

Small parts of esophagus and cardiac muscles of abattoir sheep from Qena, Upper Egypt between June 2016 to May 2017 were examined by both light microscope (LM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and DNA sequence analysis of 18 S rRNA gene to determine the rate of infection with <em>Sarcocystis</em> spp. and identify the parasite according to morphological, ultrastructure characteristics, and DNA sequence analysis. LM and TEM studies revealed that microscopic, thin walled sarcocysts were detected in 47 of 63 male (74.6 %) and in 32 of 41 female (65.07 %) as a spindle-shaped with size (225 – 431.3 μm x 34.7- 82.4 μm) in esophagus muscles, and ovoid with size (141.6- 263 μm x 51.4- 82.3 μm) in cardiac muscles. The result sequences were compared with other previously sequenced <em>Sarcocystis</em> species retrieved from Gene Bank it was most closely refered to <em>Sarcocystis tenella</em> (identity 99- 100%).

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Pregnancy and childbirth are very important in every woman's life. Childbirth causes severe pain in the individual and has many adverse effects on the physiologic status of the mother and the fetus and the process of childbirth. Different studies have been done to relieve childbirth pain. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the purpose of systematic review of studies to reduce pain and progress of childbirth in Iran.
<strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: In this systematic review of information from the databases of the Clinical Trials Registration Center, Iranmedex, Magiran, Irandoc, Google scholar, SID, and Iranian articles published in foreign magazines of Pubmed, Proquest, Scopus, Science-Direct databases, with Keywords including pain, childbirth, were searched until December 2016. Studies that met the entrance criteria were studied and criticized.
<strong>Results:</strong> Finally, 72 clinical trials were evaluated. Studies have shown that in order to reduce the pain and progress of childbirth, several methods such as medicinal plants (lavender, cloves, etc.), chemical drugs (pethidine, hyoscine, etc.), and non-medical methods (Thermal Therapy,etc). Among all interventions, in the group of herbal treatments, lavender, and among the chemical drugs Entonox gas reduced the severity of pain and the progress of childbirth. In the field of non-pharmacological methods, acupressure had the greatest impact.
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Therapeutic methods to reduce the severity of childbirth pain and its progress in Iran are very diverse and among these methods lavender, Entonox gas and acupressure were the most effective treatments. Judging by the definitive effectiveness of all these interventions requires more extensive research with higher sample sizes.

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolism diseases and also one of the common curable factors of physical growth and mental disabilities disorders. The prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism is 1 in 3000 to 1 in 4000 of live births in the world and about 1 in 670 live births in Iran. This situation may be transient or permanent. Postponing diagnosis and treatment of congenital hypothyroidism even for 3 months after birth lead to loss of IQ by 50 percent. However, the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is very easy. The purpose of current study is to survey the prevalence level of congenital hypothyroidism kinds and related factors in children of Kurdistan Provinces in 2005 to 2011 and acquiring the information necessary to chart the disease and designing preventive measures at the first and second levels.
<strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This is a descriptive-analytic study and that was conducted cross-sectional on all neonates with congenital hypothyroidism in Kurdistan province during 2005-2007. The affected infants with congenital hypothyroidism from the cities of Kurdistan province have been selected according to the form of care for congenital hypothyroid patients who were provided by health centers of the province between 2005 and 1390. The form for all patients after initial positive screening and confirmation of diagnosis was provided and delivered to the provincial health center. After collecting data, they were analyzed by inputting into SPSS software.
<strong>Results:</strong> The number of patients was included of 279 boys (59%) and 188 girls (41%). The illness prevalence in boys, girls and total was 1 in 293, 1 in 418 and 1 in 344 in newborn infants, respectively. According to the findings, the incidence of transient congenital hypothyroidism was 1 in 446 and the prevalence of persistent type 1 in 1515 newborns. Data analysis indicated that the prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism in males was 48 percent and 1 fold and there was a significant relationship between type of hypothyroidism and gender (P = 0.000). Also according to the results of familial marriages, there is a significant relationship with the increase in chronic hypothyroidism in Kurdistan province and also there was a significant relationship between the type of hypothyroidism and parental relationship (P = 0.000).
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> The prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism in Kurdistan province is higher than the national average and multiplied by the average of countries with a screening program. Hence, this disease is of particular importance and people's awareness and the health care staffs are necessary in order to raise awareness about the irreversible complications of the disease in the absence of treatment. On the other hand, supplementary studies to clarify the relevant factors, especially iodine deficiency and family marriage, are the research priorities of the health system in the province.

<strong>Objective: </strong>The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental health and sports participation motivation in female students of Islamic Azad University Karaj Branch.
<strong>Method:</strong> This study was a descriptive research that its method was correlation and it was conducted through cross-sectional and survey. Sixty female students (Mage=4/23 ±) were selected as a convenience sample from Islamic Azad University Karaj Branch in all academic levels and in the second semester 2015-2016. The instrument of this study was included a demographic questionnaire, Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and Gill’s Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ). The collected data were analyzed by Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient.
<strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that there was a there was a significant relationship between mental health (P=0.05) and social dysfunction (P=0.021) with sports participation motivation in students and students’ sports participation motivation increased significantly with the reduction of mental problems and the social dysfunction subscale. Also, there was no significant relationship between depression (P=0.388), anxiety (P=0.425), and somatic symptoms (P=0.199) with sports participation motivation in students and mental health subscales were not a significant predictor for students’ sports participation motivation (P=0.198).
<strong>Conclusions:</strong> It is suggested that we can provide a positive effect on students’ mental and physical health in the campus and dormitories through the creation of a good atmosphere, desirable learning and training environment, the training place of different sports, counseling centers for the provision of counseling services due to the improvement of mental health, and the holding of workshops.

<strong>Introduction</strong>: The instability in movement is one of the most important disorders after stroke. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS) exercises can rebuild movement patterns and create postural stability, gravity overcoming, and rising up in these patients by simulating and recalling the growth patterns of a healthy baby in people with neuromuscular issues.
<strong>Methodology</strong>: The present research is semi-experimental with random sampling. Thirty patients with stroke were randomly divided into two experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups based on their inclusion criteria. The quality of life (SF-36) and performance (Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Test) of samples were measured. DNS exercises were performed in the experimental group for 8 weeks (three sessions per week). The control group did not do the exercises and continued their daily routine activities. The post-test was repeated after eight weeks, similar to the pre-test.
<strong>Results</strong>: There was a significant improvement in performance of samples and some indicators of quality of life (role disorder due to physical health, energy and fatigue, emotional well-being and pain). There was no significant difference in other indicators of quality of life (physical function, role disorder due to emotional health, social function and general health).
<strong>Discussion and conclusion</strong>: DNS exercises were caused an improvement in the performance and quality of life of patients with stroke by calling the motor developmental patterns of healthy infants from birth to one year of age

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Pilates exercises on the mood of non-athlete women. 45 non-athlete women aged 20 to 40 from the selected clubs in Tehran, who enrolled in sports classes and were randomly selected and randomly assigned into 3 groups of 15 trainees (TRX) (n = 15), Pilates (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). In this research, the bromus logbook (Lin et al., 2007) was used as a tool. Participants in experimental groups were intervened in 12 sessions of 60 minutes in 6 weeks. One-way ANOVA and Shafa's post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is no significant difference between the variations average of stress (p = 0.053), depression (p = 0.961), anger (p = 0.252), vitality (p = 0.340), fatigue (p = 0.611), confusion (p = 0.988), relaxation (p = 0.203), happiness (p = 0.67), TRX and non-athlete female and control exercising groups. It is suggested that more research is done on larger samples so that the results can be expanded with certainty.

Morphological characteristics and electrophoretic protein patterns were considered in the present study to distinguish between two types of clinostomatid metacercariae from <em>Oreochromis niloticus</em> fish caught from the River Nile at El-Minia district, Egypt. Fifty-two specimens of randomly collected 120 examined fish were infected with both <em>Euclinostomum</em> <em>ardeolae</em> and <em>Clinostomum phalacrocoracis</em> metacercariae or either. <em>Euclinostomum</em> <em>ardeolae</em> metacercariae were embedded in <em>Oreochromis niloticus</em> tissues of the kidney as round to oval greyish black cysts giving the area around faint black color with a 15% prevalence rate of infection. Cyst was of variable size (3-4 mm) and thin completely tight wall. Metacercaria is aspinose pyriform in shaped, long 6.5 wide 2.3 mm, of blunt anterior end but the posterior one is nearly rounded. <em>Clinostomum phalacrocoracis</em> yellow to orange in color cysts were detected in the pharyngeal region and branchial chambers and the prevalence rate of infection was 39.16%. They varied in size (4-5.2 mm) with a thin transparent membrane full of yellowish fluid. The body of metacercaria was elongated, tongue-shaped, and slightly wider in gonadic region, long 16.4 wide 4.01mm. Electrophoretic protein profiles were resolved using one dimensional SDS-PAGE stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 stain. Encysted and excysted <em>Euclinostomum ardeolae</em> metacercariae showed bands of 61 kDa, 29 kDa, 28 kDa, 15 kDa and 14 kDa, while <em>Clinostomum phalacrocoracis</em> encysted and excysted metacercariae revealed bands of 61 kDa, 54 kDa, 32 kDa, 31 kDa, 20 kDa, 17 kDa, 15 kDa and 14 kDa. Conclusively, biochemical findings are in concordance with morphological characterization confirming both metacercariae to be of two distant species.

During a survey on helminth parasites infecting marine fishes captured from water locations at Abu-Qalawa and Saad reef regions along Hurghada coasts of the Red Sea in Egypt during the period from June to December 2017, two different species of nematode parasites were isolated as a new host and locality records. These were <em>Neocamallanus singhi</em> (L3, f: Camallanidae) and <em>Buckleynema buckleyi </em>(L3, Quimperiidae) isolated from <em>Cheilinus undulatus</em> (Family: labridae, no. 34) and <em>Atherina boyeri</em> (Family: Atherinidae, no. 18) respectively. The parasites were described morphologically by light microscopy. They were compared with similar species isolated previously from different hosts worldwide. The study concluded that marine fishes species of the Red Sea should receive much attention for parasitic species infecting fishes in order to collect a lot of data concerning parasitic worms which could be transferred to humans causing dangerous diseases.
