Background: Premenstrual syndrome is a collection of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms. This syndrome reduces the quality of life. Quality of life is a major measure in medical and health care. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Nigella sativa seeds on the quality of life of students with premenstrual syndrome.Materials and Methods: Double blind randomized clinical trial study was performed on 84 students with symptoms of premenstrual syndrome in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 1396. The subjects were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 1500 mg of Nigella sativa seeds daily from 7 days before the onset of menstrual bleeding to the first 3 days of menstrual bleeding for 2 cycles, and the placebo received similar capsules containing the same ratio of lactose and starch in the same conditions. Quality of life and severity of symptoms of premenstrual syndrome were compared to the end of the second month of interventiontwo with before intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 23 and Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, Independent T-test and paired T-test. The significance level was considered as P

Background & Objectives: Common methods for water disinfection are using chlorine which can efficiently control microbial agents. Researches in recent decades have shown a relationship between the disinfection of water and disinfection by-products. Nanotechnology in the last decades has provided opportunities for discovering the bactericide property of metal nanoparticles. Among all anti-microbial nanoparticles, silver is the most applicable one. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanosilver on inactivating of the heterotrophic bacteria in contaminated waters. Materials & Methods: This bench-scale experimental study was carried out in a batch system on artificially contaminated water samples prepared by adding 10 ml effluent to 90 liters of distilled water. In each run, the nanosilver (30-180 μgL-1) was added to 6 containers of contaminated water and then a sample was taken every 20 minutes for a 100-minute period. Numbers of heterotrophic plate count (HPC) were determined for all samples according to the standard methods book instructions (21st edition). Results: Results revealed that the heterotrophic bacteria inactivation significantly increased with increasing the contact time of nonosilver (P=0.001), but there was no significant correlation between the nanosilver concentrations and heterotrophic bacteria inactivation (P=0.13). The maximum heterotrophic bacteria inactivation (83.6%) was achieved within 100 minutes of contact time for 180 μgL-1 of nanosilver. Conclusion: Nanosilver treatment is effective in heterotrophic bacteria inactivation in contaminated water and can be advised as a new method for water disinfection.

Background and Purpose: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is initial treatment of choice for most calculi in the kidney. Although ESWL has many side effects one of which is cardiac arrhythmia, occurring mostly in non-synchronized mode. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on electrocardiogram changes in patients with renal stone. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 75 patients with renal stone who were selected by non-probability and convenience sampling. Then electrocardiograph was obtained from participants before, during and after lithotripsy. The relationship between ESWL-associated arrhythmia and autonomic neural activity was evaluated by heart rate spectral analysis. Electrocardiogram changes were interpreted and the data were analyzed in SPSS and SAS using chi-square, independent t-test, paired t-test, McNemar, Cochrane, One-way ANOVA and general linear model. Results: ESWL was found to elicit new or worsened electrocardiogram changes in 66.7 percent patients with no previous cardiac disease. A statistically significant correlation was demonstrated between the presence of ventricular premature contractions and analgesic drugs (p

Background and purpose: Food ingestion during hemodialysis may aggravate early side effects of hemodialysis due to hemodynamic changes. Therefore this study was carried out to investigate the effect of food and non-food ingestion during hemodialysis on its early symptoms. Methods and materials: This clinical trial was conducted on the research population of ESRD Patients; 31 cases were selected through convenient and purposeful sampling. They were NPO during hemodialysis first and received one meal (containing 325 Kcal) one hour after the second hemodialysis started. Their blood pressure intensity of nausea and vomiting immediately before and after hemodialysis and every 30 minutes during hemodialysis were measured and recorded. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using paired and independent t-test Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients Wilcoxon and McNemar tests. Results: Blood pressure reduced 6.1±4.1 mmHg 60 minutes after hemodialysis started but in non-food hemodialysis the reduction was 1067± 2.57 mmHg and the difference was significant. Also nausea intensity after food ingestion increase in 11 patients (35.5%) but it increased in 5 cases (16.1%) after non- food hemodialysis and the difference was significant. Vomiting intensity after food ingestion increased in 8 cases (25.8%) and in 1 patient (302%) upon non-food hemodialysis the difference of which was significant. Conclusion: Food ingestion during hemodialysis causes a decline in blood pressure and increases the intensity of nausea and vomiting. Therefore food ingestion during hemodialysis should be avoided.

Background and purpose: Fatigue is common to pregnant women, 80% of whom consider fatigue as one of the ten health concerns. Affecting the nervous and muscular systems, massage therapy induces muscular relaxation, blood circulation and excretion of body waste including lactic acid which leads to energy release. This study is therefore conducted to investigate the effect of massage on the intensity of labor fatigue in the primipara admitted to Bentolhoda Hospital in Bojnord, Iran in 2005.
Methods and Materials: This clinical trial was conducted on 62 primiparous women (18 to 32 years old) who were candidates of natural labor. The subjects were purposively selected and randomly assigned into massage therapy and conventional caregiving. The former (32 subjects) received back or leg massage or both. But the latter (the control group) received no massage therapy. Fatigue intensity before and 30 minutes after intervention were measured and recorded by a visual scale over the three labor phases. The data were analyzed in SPSS using student t- test, paired t- test, chi-square and linear test. Results: Significant differences, across the two groups, were observed in the fatigue intensity of the latent phase and the transition phase but not in the active phase. Before and after means were statistically different in the transition phase for the massage therapy group.
Conclusion: Massage therapy reduces the fatigue intensity of latent and transition phases. As labor fatigue intensity is lightest during the transition phase, massage therapy can be applied in pregnant women, as a non- invasive and conservative procedure, in order to relieve fatigue intensity and to enhance their health and well being.

Background and Purpose: Dysmenorrhea is one of the common problems of women at the childbearing age and has social, psychological, physical and economic consequences. As emotional factors influence physical conditions and the perception of pain, this study was conducted at the University of Mashad, Iran to compare the personality features of medical students with and without early dysmenorrheal.
Methods and Materials: This is a descriptive analytical and cross-sectional study and the study population was the female medical students at Mashad University of Medical Sciences in 2004. 200 students were proportionately sampled using a subject selection form. They also filled out the interview checklist, the lifestyle questionnaire and the Cassidy Social Support Form. On specific days, the menses pain intensity form, history of menses form and Eysenk Personality Questionnaire were completed. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using Chi square, Fischer’s Exact Test, t-test, Mann Whitney and Regression model.
Results: Significant differences were found between the two groups as for the frequency of introversion: in the group with dysmenorrhea 67% and the other group only 12% were introverts. In addition, the frequency of neurosis was statistically different across the two groups (52% in the group with dysmenorrhea and 10% in the other group). Also the two groups were statistically different in the prevalence of psychosis (72% versus 32% for the group with and without dysmenorrheal respectively).
Conclusion: Introversion, psychosis and neurosis were more prevalent in women with dysmenorrhea than in women without dysmenorrhea.

Background and purpose: Attention to labor pain and its sedation are important parts of maternity care. Mother positioning seems to be effective in pain intensity and positions that women choose in order to become more comfortable are often those that tend to promote the baby's progress through the birth canal.
Women often describe less pain when the fetus and pelvis are better aligned. This study investigated the effects of mother's selected positions on the intensity of several types of pain in the first stage of labor.
Methods and Materials: This is a clinical trial on 68 pregnant women with singleton fetus in vertex presentation, 38-42 weeks gestational age and normal labor progress at Zeinab hospital in Mashad in 2004-5. They were randomly allocated to selective positions group and routine positions group. Mothers in selective positions group changed position as they wished while mothers in routine positions group were cared in bed. Pain intensity of low back and abdomen were measured hourly by visual analog scale. Data were gathered by using forms of interview and observation, and visual analog scale and analyzed in SPSS using Student ttest, Chi-square, Mann-whitney and Fisher's exact test.
Results: Scores of total pain (average of low back pain and abdominal pain) and low back pain were significantly lower for the selective positions group than those for the routine positions group (p=0.007 and p

Background and purpose: Rest and sleep have restorative protective roles In the restoration of our mental and physical Iran abilities which are two important dimensions in the quality of life.
Non-rapid eye movement sleep is important in protecting the cardiac function in CABG patients, who return to normal life after 8-12 weeks while sleep disorders prevail for one year after surgery. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between sleep patterns and the quality of life in CABG patients.
Methods and Materials: This longitudinal, descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 91 patients admitted to Imam Reza Hospital in Mashad, Iran in 2005 (1384). Subjects were selected in three phases: 24 hours before surgery, as well as 6 and 10 weeks after surgery. Interview checklists were used for data collection. Three scales were used to measure sleep patterns: Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Epworth sleepiness scale and sleep log. Quality of life was measured with 36 short forms.
The first two interviews were done at the hospital clinic and the last via telephone. Relevant data were analyzed in SPSS using student Hest and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Mean score of nocturnal sleep quality and efficiency in all three stages were undesirable. Also, mean score of sleepiness in all three stages were normal and mean score of quality of life was in the mid one-third of 0-100 scale. No significant differences were found between on-pump and off pump groups in their sleep patterns and quality of life. In all three stages, sleep quality positively and significantly correlated with quality of life (p

Background and Purpose: Pain is a complicated phenomenon that has been ignored in newborn in the past. Researchers have demonstrated that newborns feel pain completely, so they should be considered more sensitive to pain. Recent researches demonstrated that non-pharmacological interventions such as Kangaroo Care could be useful in decreasing pain in newborn. The present research was conducted to determine the effects of kangaroo care on the pain intensity of vaccination in healthy newborns.
Methods and Materials: This study was a randomized case-control clinical trial. The study subjects were 60 healthy full-term newborns delivered at 22 Aban hospital, Lahijan. 60 term newborns were randomly assigned into two groups of trial and control. The trial group received 30 minutes skin to skin contact, where as the control group were wrapped in their blanket, beside their mother bed. In two groups behavioral changes of newborns were evaluated and observed 2 minutes before, during and 3 minutes after the intervention. All procedures were filmed. A Researcher assistant who was blind to the research aim, scored behavior changes by NIPS. Heart rate and oxygen saturation levels as displayed on the pulse monitor and duration of crying were recorded by stop watch. Data was analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's Exact Test, paired t-test and independent t-test.
Results: Mean pain intensity during intervention period was significantly lower in the trial than the control group (p

Background and Purpose: Left to their own choice, parturients will usually select positions they find most comfortable and will frequently change their positions over the course of labor. Maternal changing the positions will adjust fetus alignment to pass through the birth canal. Therefore, maternal positioning choice will include those positions with maximum comfort and those which improve the descent of the fetus through birth canal and make the labor process progress normally. This study is therefore intended to study the effect of mother's selected positions on the duration of the active phase of the first stage of labor.
Methods and materials: This clinical trial was carried out in 1383-84 (2004-5) at the labor ward of the Hazrate Zeinab (S) hospital in Mashad, Iran. Subjects were 68 low risk pregnant women with gestational age of 38 to 42 weeks, who were randomly assigned into two groups: cases (selective positioning) and controls (routine positioning). In the selective positioning group, mothers changed their positions at wish while mothers in the routine positioning group were given bedside care. Observation and interview checklists were used for data collection, and Student t-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact test were used for data analysis in SPSS.
Results: Mean duration of the active phase of the first stage of the labor was significantly lower for the selective positioning group (p= 0.002). Mean ± standard deviation were 156.75±66.48 and 207.25±61.04 minutes for the selective and routine positioning groups respectively.
Conclusion: The study indicated that the duration of the active phase of the first stage of the labor was lower in the selective positioning group. Therefore, selective positioning can be advised for parturients to decrease the duration of staying mothers in maternity wards.
