In order to complete the previous study, the aim of this study was investigation the histopathological aspect of the tissue in pigeons naturally infected with Oocyste, worms ovum and Arthropada and was conducted from Feb to September 2013,On 125 (net trapped) wild pigeon living freely in the old obstructed tunnel (Rano) and rocks of Zakros mountain in the road between Ilam and Aivan city, in the South West of Ilam province, Iran. Gizzard, liver, spleen, pancreas, esophagus, intestine, proventriculus, trachea glands were separated and preserved. Fresh faecal samples were examined and egg per gram (EPG) was counted. Randomly, different tissue of 15 birds was collected and proceeded in Haematoxylin and Eosin for histopathological study. The birds was checked for ectoparasites. Degenerative changes in the epithelial tissues of the esophageal and proventriculus glands as well as destructive changes in the esophagus, duodenum and cecum of infected pigeons were shown. Massive congestion was seen in tissue of pancreas and trachea. The prevalence of Raillietina spp, Tetramers, Sygnamus, Capillaria, Ascaridia colombae, Oocyste of protozoa, Phthiraptera, Ceratophylluscolumbae contamination and multiples infection were 29%, 5%, 8%, 15%, 4%, 8%, 2%, 5% and 24% respectively. Collected ectoparasites included feather lice (Phthiraptera) and pigeon fleas (Ceratophyllu scolumbae) and the prevalence of different parasites in wild pigeon are somewhat different from racing and domestic pigeons in the same area and it might be had different immune responses. Parasite infection could have some histopathological effects on different tissue, though few such reports exist to the best of our knowledge.

This study investigated the relationship between organizational factors and Job Burnout using descriptive-analytical method (correlational) at Bank Melli Iran in the city of Mahabad. Fifty employees occupied in this organization were participated in the present study، using random selection method. Questionnaire was means of collecting data. The studied variables were measured by a standard scale including Job Burnout (Maslach)، the researcher also made scale of organizational factors. The results show that organizational factors affect the incidence of Job Burnout. Statistical tests also confirm the correlation at a significant level. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient show that there is a negative relation between variables of salary، wages and job security of the employees and “Job Burnout”. There are direct significant relationships between other variables and Job Burnout. If the job lets the employees to have freedom and autonomy، they can receive the results of their work and especially those who are ambitious، would be satisfied; because they tend to have much control over their works. The main point is that those who are highly skilled and have more freedom over their work and receive the results of their work will have better morale، motivation and performance.

To ascertain the role of social support and positive affect in prediction of addiction relapse. The research method was a causal-comparison. Population included all the clients seeking for medical advice in the centers for Addiction Treatment in Saravan and Iranshar. The sample includes 186 participants (83 participants had no relapse and 83 participants had relapses) that were selected by using snowball sampling among those who participated in the centers during four months. The variables were measured by Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and Positive Affect & Negative Affect Scale. The data was analyzed by the independent test and logistic regression analysis. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between the participants without relapse and the participants with relapse in social support and positive affect. The two variables of social support and positive affect were the best predictors for addiction relapse, respectively. According to the findings it be can be concluded that social support and positive affect have effective role in prevention of clients’ addiction.

In this study, we have focused on antibacterial effect of newly synthesized thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives in Iran on listeria monocytogenes. For evaluation of antibacterial effect, the disk diffusion method was applied to measure the growth inhibition zone diameter and broth micro dilution was performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. Assessing the antibacterial effect showed that only thiazole derivative 6d had inhibitory effect on L. monocytogenes and the other thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives lacked any inhibitory clue on this organism. The inhibitory effect of thiazole derivative 6d was shown by MIC = 64 and growth inhibition zone diameter = 23 ± 0.1. In antibiogram test, also the most susceptibility was recorded for gentamicin and penicillin with MIC = 1 µg/ml. The antibacterial effect of thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives differs from each other and cross connections such as linkage of oxygen to thiazole ring in derivative 6d, could reinforce this effect. By proving the in vitro antibacterial effect of the novel thiazole derivative on L. monocytogenes, to more recognize this compound, next step is determining the toxicity and therapeutic effects in laboratory animals.

Propofol is one of the most common drugs used in anesthesia induction and the pain during its intravenous injection is one of the most important side effectsthat it has. Therefore, many methods and drugs have been examined so far to reduce or eliminate this side effect. In this study a lot the effects of Alfentanil, Magnesium Sulfate and Ketamine drugs on reducing the pain during intravenous injection of Propofol are investigated. This study was performed on 220 patients who underwent orthopedic surgeries in Poursina hospital in 2010. The intensity of Propofol intravenous injection pain is measured after using premedication by Visula Analogue Scale (VAS). The results are analyzed using Chi square and Post hoc tests. According to the gathered data and analysis of variance statistic tests, we found that after Propofol injection there is a meaningful difference in quantity of VAS score among the studied groups (Chi square = 49.78 and df = 3 and P =. 0001). According to Post hoc test the VAS score in Magnesium Sulfate group has a meaningful difference in comparison to other groups, while there is no meaningful difference among other groups (P =. 05). Despite the reduction the Propofol intravenous injection pain in three studied drugs in this thesis, there is no preference among them.

To investigate the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy in patients with major depressive disorder. The population of this study included all patients admitted to the Army Hospital No. 520 diagnosed with major depressive disorder from which 30 individuals were selected by using random sampling into experimental and control groups (n = 15 experimental and n = 15 control). The research method was a quasi-experimental design in which pretest andpost-test with control group design was used. The instrument consists of metacognitive therapy, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30). Data were analyzed with inferential statistics methods including t-test for independent groups and analysis of covariance. Results in this study showed that meta-cognitive therapy reduces emotional symptoms (sadness, frustration, guilt, self-loathing, crying, restlessness, social withdrawal and irritability), cognitive symptoms (pessimism, expectation of failure, feeling of punishment, self-accusation, suicidal thoughts, indecisiveness, worthlessness, and difficulty in concentration), physical symptoms (disability, change in sleep patterns, fatigue, change in appetite and sexual interest) and metacognitive beliefs. This study showed that metacognitive therapy is an effective method in reducing symptoms of major depressive disorder and should be considered within the treatment of the aforementioned disorder.

Few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst.

A 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. At ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. Sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affected side. Treatment: Ultrasound guided drainage of the cyst was performed. At 3 months follow up examination, the patient was symptom-free.Learned Lessons: This case was rare among cases involving palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve due to the wrist ganglion documented by Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS).
