The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy among Iranian women.   Materials and Methods: This study was performed using a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Seven electronic databases and two search engines were searched using appropriate key words to identify empirical research studies published in Persian and English languages on NIs from April 2000 to March 2019 in Iran. Heterogeneity of study was checked using I2 index and the possibility of publication bias by Begg test and Meta regression for assessment of variables suspected of heterogeneity at significance level of 0.05. Finally 65 empirical studies were reviewed. Results: The pooled prevalence of overall unwanted pregnancy in Iranian hospitals was 52 % (95% confidence interval, 41% - 67%). The highest unwanted pregnancy was recorded in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad in 2000, 88% (95% CI: 65%-100%) and the lowest unwanted pregnancy was 0/01% in some cities of country in 2015 (95% Cl: 0/01%-0/02%).Year, sample size and mean age were correlated with heterogeneity of study results (p<0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of unwanted pregnancy in Iranian hospitals is high according to the published studies. Therefore, education is needed to empower couples to gain adequate control over their pregnancy.

Kaempferol is one of the most important herbal active constituent with antinociceptive effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intracerebroventricular injection of kaempferol and its interaction with the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) on pain in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, sixty male rats (200-250 g) were divided to the following groups: control (saline), Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), morphine, kaempferol at dosages of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/rat, capsaicin, capsazepine, capsaicin plus kaempferol (1.5 mg/rat), capsazepine plus kaempferol (1.5 mg/rat). After cannula implantation in cerebroventricular area, the rats received target components and then evaluated by pain assessment tests (abdominal writhing, tail-flick, and formalin tests). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-test and P<0.05 was as a significant difference. Results: The results showed that administration of kaempferol  had significant analgesic effects in comparison to the control/DMSO groups on the tail-flick, abdominal writhing, and formalin tests (P<0.05). Co-administration of capsaicin and kaempferol (1.5 mg/ rat) had significant analgesic effects compared to the control/DMSO groups although, not a synergist. Moreover, co-administration of capsazepine and kaempferol (1.5 mg/ rat) mostly decreased antinociceptive effects of kaempferol. Conclusion: The kaempferol probably has both acute and inflammatory antinociceptive effects and exert this activity at least in part by activating TRPV1 receptors.

It also examines the sign language and the neural regions involved in this language both in terms of its perception and in terms of its production. Sign language processing has been done, with most agreeing on the importance of the left hemisphere in sign language processing. New studies also speak of the right hemisphere's involvement. Many studies have identified the sign language as a means to increase our knowledge of the linguistic and cognitive basis of the brain Materials and Methods: This article reviews, evaluates and critiques the results of articles presented in databases from 1998 to 2018, and categorizes the information obtained in accordance with the content of the studies and reviews. 24 studies  including neural basis for sign language, early sign language acquisition, working memory and manual excellence in the sign language were examined. Results: Many language studies have identified gesture as a means of enhancing our knowledge of the linguistic and cognitive basis of the brain. Studies have been conducted on the active role of the cerebral hemisphere in sign language processing, with most agreeing on the importance of the left cerebral hemisphere in sign language processing. New studies also speak of right hemisphere participation. Language comprehension Sign language comprehension differs markedly in both the left and right hemispheres, and this particular difference is mainly in the related visual areas. Conclusion: Sign language neuroscience research has expanded rapidly in recent years and has become a major part of neuroscience research. The output of these studies is also in the area of brain organization and brain plasticity in language cognition and processing. So it seems that further studies on different aspects of the sign language production and understanding are needed to get to the basis and function of the brain. ign Language Neuroscience Neural Processing 2020 1 01 90 96 http://psj.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-561-en.pdf 10.52547/psj.18.2.90

Materials and Methods: This is an applied study in terms of nature and purpose and a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population consisted of 30 female medical students of Medical Sciences University of Hamadan who chose the book of History of Islamic Culture and Civilization in 2018; they were divided into two groups of 15 to participate in the process of in-person and teacher-centered education, and virtual education for teaching and learning Chapter 10 (Introduction to the basics of Iranian traditional medicine) by simple random allocation method. The evaluation criterion in the learning dimension of the course was the score obtained in the test. The validity of the questionnaire of their attitude toward these two educational methods were evaluated by the professors and experts in this field, and its reliability was confirmed by conducting a guide study and calculating the Cronbach's alpha. Results: The findings indicated that the students' academic test scores in this course, social cohesion and instructor had been in a better position in-person and teacher-centered teaching method. The mean of other elements such as success, negative affection, spontaneity in learning, opportunity and even overall satisfaction in the in-person method had been higher than the virtual teaching method. The findings show that in the virtual teaching method, the mean of social cohesion and students' satisfaction with the course instructor had been lower than the criterion mean. Conclusion: From the students' point of view, the presence and interaction with the professor is an essential and important element in the teaching and teaching methods that this interaction will lead to the development of relationships and social cohesion between the students and professor. In addition, the high mean of the test scores in the in-person and teacher-centered methods compared to the virtual method can indicate the shared role of the professor and student in learning.

The aim of this study was to compare the criteria of sensitivity and specificity in determining the necessity of CT. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 traumatic patients who referred to the emergency department of Kosar Hospital with head injury were enrolled. On the basis of clinical examination and medical record for each system (ACEP, CCHR, Nexus) related clinical items recorded, and based on which scores were calculated for each. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, sensitivity and specificity, Chi-square, ROC curve, SPSS software version 20. Results: Results showed that, in terms of gender, 47 (47%) were male and 53 (53%) were female. The mean age of patients was 46.02 ± 18.20 years. 37% had a head hematoma and 50% had a trauma. The sensitivity and specificity of the three criteria used (ACEP, Nexus and CCHR) were: 29.40% - 62.50%, 13.3% - 96.8% and 38.23% - 71.87%, respectively. Significance was observed between sensitivity and specificity of the three criteria (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results of the sensitivity and specificity of the study were inconsistent with the findings of other studies. The proposed criteria of this study for CT may not have acceptable sensitivity and specificity.
