Background and objectives: Four-drugs treatment included of Bismuth–Omperazole–Metronidazole and Amoxicillin have been used as first line treatment for Helicobacter Pylori eradication by many of physician in Iran. However, there is an uncertainty for effectiveness of the regime on patients of Hamadan with the resistance rate of this regime reported in different parts of the country. Present study attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of this regime as first line treatment of H. Pylori in patients of Hamadan..
Method: There are 100 patients with recognized H.pylori infection who could terminate this study. At first, these patients treated by four-drugs regime for 2 weeks, then they treated with Omprazole for 1 month. Successful eradication was determined as negative Urease Test with Carbon 13.
Results: The average of individual ages was 38±11.78 years old. 57% of patients were men. The eradication rate of H.pylori was 80% and the eradication had no significant correlation with the age, gender, clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings. Conclusion: Four-drugs treatment included of Omperazole-Metronidazole-Amoxicillin and Bismuth is effective in patients of Hamadan and still could be applicable in H.pylori treatment as the first line treatment

Background and Objectives: Different perceptual and cognitive impairments occure after stroke. Beacause cognitive impairments after stroke can affect activity af daily living, identifion and improvement of this problems is very impotant. Cognitive problems after stroke can be as a result of in working memory impairments. Neurofeedback training can regulate brain waves and this action can affect cognitive function. This study we tried examine and copare effect of Neurofeedback training on memory in stroke patients.Method: This study used single-system design with control group in sample with four patients. In study results of B phase (therapy phase) comared with A phase (baseline). Any improvement of memory in two groups evaluated with CANTAB test.
Results: Regarding the data , effect size of the therapy in two groups analysed with cohen d test. Effect size in spatial span (ssp) and spatial working memory (SWM) for test Group was( 2/38 and 3/87) and for control group was( 0/73 and 1/63). The changes mean in ssp and swm for test group was (1.3 and 17/2) and for control group was (0/25 and 3/8).
Conclusions: Regarding the results, may use neurofeedback training with occupational therapy as a complementary therapy.

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study is the evaluation of bacterial contamination of Slit-lamps in Eye Centers of Farshchian Hospital and assessment of the current disinfectants on isolated bacteria from apparatuses.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 400 samples were collected from different parts of Slit-lamps (200 samples before and 200 samples after disinfection). The samples were cultured on Blood agar by sterile cotton swabs. A smear was also prepared for gram staining, then by differential and biochemical test identify and diagnosis microbial agents. The efficacy of two disinfectants (Sodium hypochlorite and Chlorohexidine) on Staphilococus epidermidis and Corynebacterium diphteroides by disk diffusion method were evaluated. Data was gathered through a questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS software (V:10) and T-test.
Results: The rate of slit-lamp's microbial contamination before and after disinfection was 87% and 42% respectively, that showed significant decrease after disinfection (p<0.001). The most frequent bacteria that isolated from apparatuses were Micrococi, Staphilococus epidermidis and Corynebacterium diphteroides. The disinfectants of Sodium hypochlorite in 90% and Chlorohexidine in 50% had strong efficacy on Staphilococus epidermidis, whereas for Corynebacterium diphteroides were 81/1% and 45/4%, respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Our results showed that the ophtalmic biomicroscopy apparatuses
)Slit-lamp( before disinfection have had the high rate of contamination, that have reduced in microbial clonization significantly, after disinfection (P<0.001). The efficacy of Sodium hypochlorite was stronger than Chlorohexidine.

Background and Objectives: A significant problem that mankind has faced in recent years with its production and indiscriminate disposal of solid waste in the environment. This applies regardless of the issue of recycling and reuses of recycled materials, in addition to the national capital loss the loss of natural resources and environmental damage is irreparable. In this study, the current situation and the obstacles to recycling and solid waste production per capita for each Bushehr citizen, and environmental and economic aspects of solid waste recycling are taken into consideration.
Method: We collected data through interviews with officials from the solid waste recycling organization of Bushehr, field observations and study of review articles has been conducted.
Results: with respect to the population of Bushehr city, 150000 people, the generation of solid waste per capita is estimated to average 600 grams per day. An average of 33,000 tons of solid waste in year 91 was collection in which 71% of solid waste was of organic and compostable and 29% of it was inorganic but recyclable. Only 2.1% of solid waste in Bushehr was recycled and more than 98% of it was unsanitary landfilled.
Conclusions: Low rate of solid waste recycling in Bushehr is due to a lack of information of the recycled materials advantages, weaknesses in source separation of solid waste and unknown of recycling benefits to the public and the authorities. With reviewing of current status, information, education and the use of advanced mechanical equipment can use the economic and environmental benefits of recycling.

Background and Objectives: calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, making up nearly 2% of total body weight. This element has several roles in organisms. Manganese is an essential trace element which is taken part in the structure of some metal enzymes. There is a little evidence for deficiency of manganese in human, whereas its toxicity has been reported in several cases. Since, calcium interference with intestinal absorption of manganese can influences processes such as bone formation and growth, thus in the present project, this matter has been investigated.Methods: In this study interrelationship between calcium and manganese intestinal absorption by everted gut sac technique, has been studied. Animals were fasted 24h prior to the experiments and small intestine was removed. The intestine cut into adequate pieces and the segments were everted. The everted gut sacs were suspended in kerebs- ringer – phosphate medium.
Results: incubation of freshly prepared E.G.S in kerebs ringer phosphate (KRP) medium PH 7.4 containing either calcium or manganese showed that incubation time. The absorption of metal Ions is a dose dependent process and maximum absorption carried out in the presence of 1.50 or 1.85 mM of calcium or manganese respectively. Addition of calcium to reaction mixture reduced manganese absorption by 35 percent. Whereas manganese decreased calcium absorption by approximately 20 %. The effects of citrate and glucose on intestinal absorption of calcium and manganese have been investigated here.
Conclusion: the data of present study indicate that calcium and manganese can interference each other intestinal absorption.

Background and objectives: YPLL index is important in prioritizing health interventions. This index gives more weight to death of the younger people. Using this index one can calculate major causes of premature death and compare them with other societies. This study is aimed at determining the main causes of premature deaths in Toyserkan.
Methods: The study population based on the 2011 mortality data was Tuyserkan. Mortality data from death certificates, that had already been extracted and entered into the software, were collected. The standard World Health Organization software was used to calculate YPLL.
Results: After removing the empty code number, 707 deaths were analyzed. Total mortality rate was 6.7 per 1,000 people. And per 1,000 people, a total of 122.2 years of life was lost due to premature death. Except those aged 30-39 years and 70-79 years, in all age groups the YLL rates in women were higher than in men. Cardiovascular diseases, accidents, respiratory illnesses are placed first to third in the YLL respectively.
Conclusion: The results showed that non-communicable diseases are the main cause of premature death in Tuyserkan while changing patterns of communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases as the leading cause of deaths in the city are seen.
