Background & Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group therapy based on Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) on Suppression of negative thoughts and learned helplessness were infertile women.Materials and Methods: This study is quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group was unequal. The statistical population included all of Infertile women at Neyshabur city who have been referred to gynecologists in Spring 2017. 24 infertile women who were selected by available sampling method and voluntary that were randomly assigned to experimental groups(n = 12) and control(n = 12). Both groups were tested before. the experimental group for 8 sessions of 90-minute group therapy were based on acceptance and commitment. data through questionnaires Suppression of thoughts " Wegner and Zanakos"(1994) and Documentary style "Islami Shahr Babaki"(1991) was gathering. research data to way multivariate analysis of variance and were analyzed by SPSS 21 software. Results: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance with significance level (p > 0/001) on the hypothesis that there is a significant difference between the two groups at post-test, that represents, the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy based on suppression of thoughts and learned helplessness )documentary style( in infertile women.Conclusion:The conclusion of the study is that based group therapy, acceptance and commitment appropriate treatment is to reduce negative thoughts and learned helplessness in infertile women.

Background & Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of aac(6')-Ie-aph(2′′)-Ia gene among clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Mashhad hospitals. Materials & Methods: This study was cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic (from September 2013 to July 2014 performed on clinical samples of Ghaem, Pasteur, Imam Hadi, Imam Reza hospitals in Mashhad). After collecting 45 clinical isolates of MRSA antimicrobial, sensitivity pattern of isolates was determined by disk diffusion method using disks of oxacillin, gentamicin, tubramycin, amikacin, and kanamycin according to the CLSI guidelines. PCR method was used for detection and determination of prevalence of mecA antimicrobial-resistance gene (used to confirm the diagnosis of MRSA) and aac(6')-Ie-aph(2′′)-Ia genes. Data collected after the entry into SPSS version 18 using chi-square test. Results: In this study, 45 cases of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated. %51 of cases was isolated from ulcers; while %37, %7 and %5 were respectively isolated from blood, urine and sputum. According to the antibiotic sensitivity test results, Staphylococcus aureus isolates were resistant against kanamycin (%80), tobramycin (%71), amikacin (%53) and gentamicin (%31). The aac(6')-Ie-aph(2′′)-Ia gene at %44/24 of isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected. Discussion: Compared to others, this study shows lower rate of antimicrobial resistance which could be due to lower frequency of resistance mechanisms (Aminoglycoside-resistance genes, efflux pomps, …) in these isolates. The discrepancy between results could also point to diversity in aminoglycoside-resistance in different geographical regions.

Background: This study was done for offering an effective situation of starting supplementary of growth process for children under the age of one year old in Sabzevar and also to direct the heath policy procedure in the area.
Material & Method: 400 samples using classification procedure based on volume of sample from health centers were chosen. The criteria for entering the study was that supplementary nutrition during evaluation was at least for one month. The data was gathered in two sections, before and after starting supplementary nutrition through checking the information of family record, quetionnaire and interview. For analysing the data, MecNemar test and correlation of Pierson were used.
Results: The age of staring supplementary nutrition in %80/75 was above six months. Desirable growth process before and after supplementary nutrition were %87 and %81/03, respectively. There was a significant statistical relationship between these two trends (p‹0.001 & r=0.595). And also there was a significant relationship between breastfeeding and growth process before starting supplementary nutrition (p=0.04 & r=0.115). MecNemar Test independently showed a statistically significant relationship between child sex, paternal occupation and maternal education level, before and after supplementary nutrition (p‹o.oo1). Although, this kind of relationship was not detected in the other cases.
Conclusion: Starting supplementary nutrition can be potentially a positive factor in desirable growth process(r=0.595), but other variables such as; child’s sex, father’s job and educational level of mother can impact on this situation, independently which must be observed in the process of nutritional consultation.

A three-day-old Iranian female neonate being the product of an uncomplicated pregnancy was admitted to the ophthalmology office with severe abnormality of the left and right eyes. Family history، drug history and maternal diseases during pregnancy were negative and there was no history of consanguinity. Breastfeeding was normal and there was no problem of feeding and breathing. There were complete absence of both eyebrows and complete absence of lids in the left eye as well as an incomplete lid defect in the right eye. Slit lamp examination of the right eye showed remnants of incomplete upper lid margin with some eyelashes attached to the upper half of cornea. Part of anterior chamber and iris were visible from lower half of the right cornea. Pupil was not observable. Right lower lid had two layers with its inner layer attached to the lower part of cornea. Except for the pulling of the left nostril and nose toward the left cheek، other parts including the lips، mouth، tongue، palate and pharynx seemed normal. Also، she had partial syndactyly of the right hand and left foot. By parents’ statement، genitourinary tract and bowel tract had no abnormality. The diagnosis was cryptophthalmos-syndactyly syndrome.

Background and Purpose: Due to the small number of studies on obsessive compulsive disorder and the existence of non-pharmaceutical treatments، it is possible to introduce the Metacognitive therapy as an alternative with long-term effects. The purpose of present study was to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy versus pharmaceutical therapy on the patients with obsessions in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Methods and materials: This research is a quasi-experimental design with experimental and control groups. The participants were equally assigned into two groups with 8 members، metacognitive therapy (14 sessions) and pharmaceutical therapy (one month). Pretest and posttest were given to both groups: MCQ30، YBOCS، DASS21، BDI&II، STAY-T. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 18 using t-test، chi-square and covariate analysis.
Results: The results showed a preference for metacognitive therapy in decreasing obsession intensity (P=0.006) with pretest mean of 50.13±2.07 and posttest mean of 10.25±2.81، negative variables of metacognition (P=0.001) with pretest mean of 15.00±2.72 and posttest mean of 11.75± 2.25. A significant relationship was observed between the general functioning and the pharmaceutical therapy (P=0.042) with pretest mean of 60.25±4.83 and posttest mean of61.75±5.28. However، no significant differences were observed between the two types of therapy as far as depression (0=0.09)، worry (p=0.07) and anxiety (p=0.2) are concerned.
Conclusion: The results indicated better results with metacognitive therapy in reducing the obsessions، stress and negative metacognitive beliefs. However، enhancing the overall functioning of the patients can be achieved with pharmaceutical therapy. There were no signification correlation between the two types of therapy for treating depression، worry and anxiety.
