Title: Evaluation of individual characteristics, family history and blood group in women with breast cancer in Sabzevar, 1391
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally. This disease has varied Incidence and mortality rate in different communities which this variation is affected by some factors such as age, sex , race ,socioeconomic and marital status, geographic location and lifestyle. this study aimed to examine individual characteristics, family history and blood group in women with breast cancer in Sabzevar.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, 218 women with age of older than 20 years suffering from breast cancer were identified through census method by health volunteers from 1380 to 1389 in Sabzevar. Needed information was collected using an interview form whose validity and reliability were approved via face validity and content and test-retest method. Obtained data was analyzed using spss software and descriptive statistics was applied to calculate indexes and frequencies.
Result: among 218 patients, 125( 57.3 percent ) were alive . the Subjects’ average age was 52.85± 1.2 with a Maximum and minimum age of 86 and 28 years old, respectively. among 124 live patients , 26 patients ( 21 %) of them had a history of breast cancer in the family. If there is a first-degree relatives with breast cancer, chance of getting cancer would be higher than other cases ( 46.1 %). The most and least frequency of blood group were O (37.6 %) and AB + (6.9 percent), respectively.

Background: Anorexia, limitation in the intake of some nutrients, loss of nutrients during dialysis, and extensive inflammation are important causes of malnutrition in hemodialysis patients. For this reason, this study reviews the status of macro- and micronutrient intake in these patients as compared to Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) values.
Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional study was performed on 75 hemodialysis patients referred to the dialysis department of Vasei Hospital, Sabzevar, Iran. After measuring height and body weight, nutrient intake of each patient was determined using 24-hour food recall method for two consecutive days (one day on and one day off dialysis) and the frequency of meals was recorded. Nutrient intake of each individual was determined using Nutritionist IV software. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and one-sample t-test at the significance level p < 0.05.
Results: The mean BMI of patients in this study was 20.04±3.38 kg/m2. The mean energy intake was 1767.98±373.85 and 1816.76±433.16 kcal in women and men, respectively, and the mean protein intake was 67.92±21.11 and 69.30±21.38 g per day in men and women, respectively. Also, in this study, the intake of all nutrients, except vitamins B1, B3, B12, and iron, was less than the recommended standard in hemodialysis patients (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the intake of most water- and fat-soluble vitamins and minerals was less than the recommended standard in hemodialysis patients.

Background and Purpose: There is evidence on the anti-obesity effects of dietary calcium. Most employees have low physical activity and due to many rounds of work، their nutritional intake is affected، and around one-fifth of them suffer from overweight. The present study was conducted to investigate the correlation of dietary calcium and anthropometric indices in the staff of Vasei Hospital in Sabzevar، Iran.
Methods and Materials: The cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 300 employees at Vasei Hospital in Sabzevar، Iran. Their weight، height، hip and arm circumference were measured by standardized procedures to take a record in data collection forms. A 24-hour recall form was given for two successive days to each participant، and a food frequency form was completed for the annual nutritional pattern of each participant. The food intake by grams was given into the Food Processor 3 software. Then، each participant’s data on nutrients and their anthropometric readings were fed into SPSS 14 for analyzing by independent t-test، Person correlation coefficient، One-way and Two-way ANOVA.
Results: In this study، 77.9% of the participants had normal weight and 22.1% were overweight. Mean calcium intake was 1843.57±1383 and 1023.99±703.71 mg/day in men and women، respectively. No correlation was observed between calcium، BMI (p=o.52) and body weight (p=0.22). However، there was significant negative correlation between dietary calcium and hip (p=0.01) and arm circumference (p=0.04) in men.
Conclusion: The results showed that there is no significant correlation between dietary calcium، BMI and body weight.

Background and Purpose: Gestational hypertension is one of the factors leading to maternal hospitalization during pregnancy. Studies have so far focused on the role of gestational diet in the occurrence of preeclampsia. The present study is conducted to evaluate the relationship between gestational diet and gestational hypertension. Methods and Materials: In a case-control study 100 pregnant women suffering from gestational hypertension disorders and 100 women with no history of hypertension during pregnancy and before that but being hospitalized in the same hospital after labor were compared. The sample size was calculated on the basis of the study objectives as well as =α0.05 and β=0.80. Data were collected through interview food frequency questionnaire and a 24-hour diet recall form. In order to analyze the data the consumed food substances were converted into gram scale and then the Food Processor software rendered the data on diet. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using chi-square and logistic regression model. Results: The participants’ mean age was 26.7±6 years. Calcium (p= 0.004) magnesium (p=0.037) phosphorus (p= 0.001) and potassium intakes (p= 0.007) were higher in cases than the controls. Having controlled all variables affecting hypertensive disorders the logistic regression revealed that fiber and calcium were significantly dominant in the development of gestational hypertension. Discussion: The results of the study showed that calcium and fiber played a more direct role in the development of gestational hypertension.

Background and Purpose: Research on non-hemodialysis patients has shown that ω3-fatty acid supplement can reduce the concentration of serum Lp(a). Therefore the present study was designed to investigate the effects of ω3-fatty acid supplement on serum lipids and lipoproteins in hemodialysis patients. Methods and Materials: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 40 hemodialysis patients in 2008 in Vase’i Hospital in Sabzevar Iran; they were randomly assigned to either ω3-fatty acid supplement or placebo group. Patients in the ω3-fatty acid supplement group received 2080 mg ω3-fatty acid daily as 4 capsules while the placebo group received 4 corresponding placebo capsules containing MCT oil. At baseline and the end of week 10 of the study 5 ml blood samples were collected from each patient after a 12 to 14-hour fasting before dialysis; their serum triglyceride total cholesterol LDL-C HDL-C and Lp(a) were measured. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using Chi-square t-test paired t-test and ANOVA. Results: Serum triglyceride concentration were 11332 and 10919 in the supplement and placebo groups respectively in the beginning; the amounts decreased to 10125 and 11517 at the end of week 10. The reduction was significant in the supplement group (p
