This study aimed to compare the function of family, personality traits and affection styles between normal people and those with internet addiction. It was conducted in 2016 in a population sample comprising of all high school students of Imam Khomeini High School in the city of Salmas, West Azerbaijan. 351 of the students were selected as the sample volume. Participants completed four forms which consisted of “assessing family function (FAD)”, “measuring personality characteristics (NEO)”, “assessing attachment styles” as well as “Young’s internet Addiction Questionnaire”. All the statistical methods used including “descriptive indicators”, t - test, mutli - directional variance and data were analyzed using SPSS - 16 software application. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between internet addiction, on one hand, and family functions, personality characteristics and attachment styles, on the other hand.

It seems that shortly after green tea extract (GTE) ingestion, fat oxidation increases as well as exercise training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effect of short term GTE and a single bout of cycle ergometer upon post-exercise fat oxidation. Sixteen healthy volunteer males were recruited to participate in the study. They were divided to two groups; experimental group (n = 8) and placebo group (n = 8), respectively. They consumed three GTE or placebo capsules a day before and one capsule 90 minutes before a cycling protocol. Blood samples were collected from all participants before and after the protocol. Based on the current results, fat oxidation in the experimental group increased markedly during post-exercise period compared to the placebo group. Plasma glycerol levels of the experimental group were significantly higher after GTE consumption during the post-exercise period compared to placebo. Compared to placebo, plasma free acids of the experimental group increased significantly after GTE consumption as well as acute GTE. Therefore, it seems that acute GTE ingestion could increase fat oxidation after post exercise conditions.

Fasciola spp. is endemic in Iran, and even in recent years, some human epidemics of this parasite have been reported in the northern parts of Iran. Biliary fluid is one of the most important substances that is altered by invasion and replacement of the parasite, and it seems that biliary fluid can be used to determine the progression of the disease and the degree of the damage to the liver cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a relationship between the amount of bilirubin, phosphorus, calcium and cholesterol in the biliary fluid of healthy livers and those in livers infected with Fasciola spp.
A total of 50 samples of biliary fluid from the infected livers and 50 samples of biliary fluid from healthy livestock in terms of presence or absence of contamination were collected.
Direct bilirubin and cholesterol in infected livers is lower than those in healthy livers. Also, the level of calcium in the liver contaminated with the parasite was higher than that of the healthy liver; the difference was statistically significant. The level of phosphorus in the infected livers was higher than that in the healthy liver, however, the difference was not statistically significant.
This study showed that bilirubin, cholesterol, calcium, and phosphorus in the liver consistent with hepatic fascioliasis were altered significantly, indicating valuable effects of the parasites on hepatic cells.

Epilepsy caused by abnormal brain discharges is one of the most common neurological diseases. The main goal of imaging in epilepsy is primarily to identify underlying abnormalities, such as vascular malformations and tumors, that may have a specific treatment and, in the next grade, syndromic and etiologic diagnosis of epilepsy. In this project, the findings of computerized tomography (CT) scan of children admitted to the neurology department of Ahvaz Golestan hospital during the years 2012 and 2013 with final diagnosis of epilepsy were studied.
This retrospective study was conducted on patients, who were admitted to Ahvaz Golestan hospital with a final diagnosis of epilepsy at the pediatric neurology department. By referring to the archives, all records of the patients were examined and the data were collected based on gender, age, CT scan, and abnormalities of the patients. For the descriptive analysis of data, tables and figures were used. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0. Software.
In this study, 85 patients with a mean age of 5.69 ± 4.05 years, the youngest of whom was one month and the oldest was 15 years old, were studied. Also, 44 of them were female and 41 were male. Among 34 patients with non-normal CT scan, 15 cases (44.1%), seven (20.6%), six (17.6%), three (8.8%), two (5.9%), and one case (2.9%) had congenital anomalies, nervous system infections, ischemic- hypoxic processes, neurocutaneous syndromes, neoplasm, and post- traumatic encephalopathy, respectively.
According to this study, given that CT scans are performed only in certain cases with epilepsy and are not used to detect the cause of epilepsy, in patients with any change in duration and severity or type of epilepsy, it is required to reject other underlying causes or to expand and create possible life-threatening causes.

Bed falling is the most common unintentional cause of injury in all age patients and is a major safety problem in health facilities. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical audit to prevent patient falls in general and emergency units at Ahvaz’s Golestan hospital.
The study population consisted of at-risk hospitalized patients in the general and emergency units over a six-month period. In accordance with the clinical audit cycle, the weak points were found, proper interventions were implemented based on the standard guidelines for bed falling, and then another audit was performed again to assess the effectiveness of our intervention.
Measuring the level of interventions before and after the clinical audit showed an increase in all study variables. The falling results revealed that these interventions reduced bed falling by more than 50%.
The clinical audit for reducing bed falling incidents in the study units led to the improved patient safety and care according to the standards of care.
