Background and Objective: Word definition is a linguistic and metalinguistic skill related to the development of language, academic success and intellectual function. There is a little research in the field of word definition in children with cochlear implant (CI) in Iran. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine and compare the word definition in children with CI with normal children.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 22 children with CI and 22 normal children aged 6 to 8 years were selected in an available manner to assess the word definition by using the test conducted by Mohammadi and et.al (2009). The inclusion criteria included being monolingual, congenital impairment, using of the CI device, operating up to three years of age, the presence of any comorbidity and getting the early intervention. Exclusion criteria included the lack of cooperation of the examinee. It was used SPSS v.19 for statistical analysis. Mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum scores were calculated. Also, it was used, the Mann-Whitney test to determine the significant differences of the scores of variables.
Results: The normal group gained the highest scores in the three section, functional (p = 0.003) and structural (p <0.001) aspects, and have a higher score in the total word definition test (p <0.001).
Conclusion: The weakness of hearing in impaired children in vocabulary definition skill demonstrate their semantic and syntactical deficits. There were aligned studies with our results in specific language impairment which are expected to be considered by speech and language pathologists (SLPs) in their interventional planning.

Background and Objective: The CGA gene encodes alpha subunit of glycoprotein hormones that are involved in the fertility process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide (CGA) rs6631A> T gene polymorphism with the risk of men infertility with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in a case-control study on 200 blood samples consisting of 100 samples of severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia men and 100 blood samples of healthy men with normal fertility and lack of a family history of infertility. In this study, we used PCR-RFLP method to evaluate genotype frequencies of CGA polymorphism.
Results: The genotype frequencies of CGA gene polymorphism for AA, TA and TT was 27%, 51% and 22% and 24%, 47% and 27%, in control and case groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in genotype frequencies between two groups (P> 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in allele frequency between two groups (P=0.424, OR=0.852, CI=0.576-1.261).
Conclusion: The results of this investigation showed that nucleotide change in CGA gene was not significantly associated with the risk of azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia; therefore, this polymorphism may not be a prognostic biomarker in male infertility.

Background and Objective: The length and complexity of syllable structure in the utterances of the children increase with ageing. According to the role of the syllable in the speech process, performance of developmental studies on syllable acquisition in children are essential. The present study aimed to investigate the development and attainment of syllable structure and the distribution of syllable pattern in Azeri-speaking children.
Materials and Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted on seventeen Azeri-speaking children (18-24 months old) selected by the cluster sampling method from Tabriz’s kindergartens and followed for 6 months. A researcher-made vocabulary sheet, vocabulary list, and verbal play were used to record children's expressive vocabulary. After collecting each child's vocabulary list, the target vocabulary was classified by syllable number and syllable structure. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.
Results: In children aged 18 and 19 months, 67% of vocabulary words were monosyllable, 24% bisyllable, and 9% more than bisyllable. The highest amount of syllable pattern production for monosyllable and bisyllable was CVC (36%) and CVCV (52%), respectively. Distribution of syllable patterns changed with age, as well as patterns became more complex. In these two months, the rate of usage of open and closed syllables was 35% and 65%, respectively; this ratio was constant with age.
Conclusion: The children produced coda consonants before they were able to distinguish vowel length. Closed syllables were earned earlier than the vowel length, and obstruent consonants at the syllable coda position before sonorant consonants. At first, the children were not able to distinguish vowel length, but with age, they showed short and long vowels representation.

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Mammography and early detection of breast cancer a play the important role in the treatment process. The current study aimed to determine the demographic and psychological determinants of performing Mammography screening among employed women in western Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 164 employed women of age 40 years and over in Hamadan medical professions, were included in the study in 2018 using a stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting demographic characteristics and protection motivation theory constructs. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and logistic and linear regression.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 46.68 ± 4.39 years. 6.1% of the people performed mammography on a regular basis.The regression analysis indicated that threat appraisal had more important role in mammography compared to coping appraisal.Moreover, protection motivation was the most important predictor constructs of mammography behavior (R2 = 0.17).There was also a significant relationship between mammography and demographic variables such as pre-existing health condition (P = 0.001), family history of breast cancer (P = 0.005) and menopausal status (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: Protection motivation theory is an effective framework for educational interventions to prevent breast cancer. Furthermore, considering the threat appraisal and intention are the most important effective structures of the motivation protection theory on mammography, and therefore, codifying the training programs with the purpose of increasing perceived threat appraisal and intention is suggested.
