Introduction: The accuracy of the diagnosis of acute appendicitis has been agreed at 85%. Based on this and considering that appendectomy is one of the most common surgeries in Shahid Beheshti Educational and Medical Center in Qom, we decided to compare the accuracy of acute appendicitis diagnosis with the agreed standard in patients undergoing appendectomy in this center.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. It was performed in Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Qom in 2015-2016. Sampling was done by simple random method. Information including sex and age as well as patient pathology diagnosis and complications such as gangrene and appendix perforation were entered into the checklist and analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: In the present study, 250 people were studied, 167 (66.8%) were male and 83 (33.2%) were female. The mean age of patients with acute appendicitis was 23 years and those with other diagnoses had a mean age of 21 years. Also, 167 (66.8%) of them were male and only 83 (33.2%) were female. In this study, out of 250 patients who underwent appendectomy with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis, 194 (77.6%) had a diagnosis of acute appendicitis in pathology and 56 (22.4%) had another diagnosis. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis was 45.5% in women and 44.6% in men, which did not differ much.
Conclusion: Considering these findings and the lower accuracy of appendicitis diagnosis than the agreed standard, it can be concluded that a number of appendectomy procedures, especially appendectomy in women, were unnecessary. It is necessary to examine more carefully before the operation. Received

Background and Objective: Libraries are the main levers of supporting educational programs in any university. A university without a good library cannot be successful in fulfilling its educational and research programs. The current condition of a library should be studied to find out whether it plays its part well as one of the main components of the university.
Materials and Methods: In the present research, the condition of the central library of the Medical University in Sabzevar was studied based on four quantitative indices of budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments. The library condition in 2012 was investigated in this study and descriptive statistics (the mean, standard deviation, percentage and frequency) was used to obtain the required information.
Findings: The findings showed that the library has observed 71.42 and 38.5 percent of the required standards of human resources and the collection, respectively. On the other hand, the budget index has been reported to be 3.2 times higher than the standard amount (320%). The standard index of building and equipments has been observed up to 51.48 percent.
Conclusion: In general from among the four quantitative standards (budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments), only the budget standard has been completely observed by the central library of the Medical University of Sabzevar and other aspects are far from the standards.
