Background: Ischemic heart disease is the most important cause of mortality in many places around the world. Premature heart attacks at early ages are increasing, so identifying and controlling risk factors can be an effective step in public health promotion. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting on this disease.
Methods: This is a case-control study conducted on 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the CCU and 100 patients hospitalized in other sectors (as a control) in Shahid Sadooghi hospital, Yazd,Iran . The control group was matched for age, sex and risk factors such as smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, depression, stress, eating fast food, fruit and vegetable consumption, positive family history and salty food. Then items were examined. Statistical significant level was considered as 95%.
Results: The results showed that the crude odds ratio for some factors like smoking (OR=2.22 P=.007), greater stress (OR=3.35 P=.000), depression (OR=3.07 P=.001), high triglycerides (OR=1.86 P=.03), high cholesterol (OR= 3.3 P=.000), high LDL (OR=4.88 P=.000) and high HDL (OR=.041 P=.000) is statistically significant, but the adjusted odds ratio determined that only three factors such as depression (OR = 3.09 P.033), high LDL (OR=6.33 P=.004) and high HDL (OR=.021 P=.000 ) have major impact on acute myocardial infarction.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that some modifiable factors such as depression, high LDL and high HDL play a role in causing or preventing acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, controlling these factors can be crucial in controlling the disease.

Background and purpose: Due to the very high prevalence of congenital hypothyroid ism disease in Yazd city and lack of similar information ,in case of upgrading the knowledge levels of growth qualifications among children of this city, present research was aimed at studying growth pattern of thefirst5 years of children's life suffering from congenital hypothyroidism.
Methods and Materials: In this case a retrospective cohort study was performed on all neonates born that have been diagnosed as patient by screening programduring2006to 2008, after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. The growth patterns of height, weight and head circumference of first 5years of children's life were study and compared to growth patterns of normal children of Yazd city to separate of age and sex in 3, 15,50,85,97 percentiles.
Findings: The growth patterns of height, weight and head circumference among girl patients increased parallel to growth patterns of healthy girls of Yazd city. Among boy patients growth patterns of height and weight became similar to normal growth patternsafter36 and 9months respectively,but the growth pattern of head circumference declined after 6months.
Conclusion: By curing the patients during a sufficient period of time, there can be hope that the growth patterns of these children be similar to the normal desirable range again.

Background and purpose: Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) is a metabolic disorder which is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. This disease is the most common metabolic disorder in this period. This study was aimed at determining the associated factors with prevalence of in pregnant women in the Yazd city during a specific period of time.
Materials and Methods: This is an analytical descriptive study which has been done by a cross-sectional design. Participants were pregnant women who had been referring to health care centers of Yazd city between April 2012to October2012. 400 pregnant women were selected by cluster random sampling method. Data were collected by a data collection form based on family files and also were analyzed by using SPSS19 Statistical Software. Chi-square, T- test and logistic regression test were used with significant level of 0.05.
Results: The prevalence of GDM in this study was 12% (48 people).Mean age of the patients (29.79±5.86) was significantly higher than normal subjects (26.11±5.11).Diabetic mothers had more number of pregnancies, shorter height, mean weight and body mass indices (BMI)higher than non-diabetic mothers. Significant relationships were found between age, maternal education level, BMI, birth order, family history of diabetes and history of congenital malformations by GDM. (P <0/05).
Conclusions: Due to the higher prevalence rate of GDM in Yazd comparing with other cities performing a general screening study that includes more pregnant women is highly recommended inthis city.
