This is a developmental – psychometric research and accordingly, using theoretical bases and the existing literature, a questionnaire consisted of 6 components and 21 items was prepared and confirmed by the experts in the field. Statistical population of the current study included couples with marital instability in Tehran, who attended the Police Counseling Center. 400 people answered the research questionnaire. After excluding incomplete questionnaires, 320 questionnaires were analyzed by convenience sampling method.

After collecting data and inserting them into the software, firstly explanatory factor analysis was conducted on the obtained data and then the extracted items for the studied components were confirmed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis test.

Accordingly, we can say that the research questionnaire has good validity and reliability and can be used by other researchers in future works. Developing, Standardization, Marital, Instability, Measurement, Couples

Generally, primary maladaptive schemas and child-rearing styles are variables that affect behaviors of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between schemas and child-rearing styles with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the students of Iran University of Science and Technology in 2017.

Research method was practical in terms of objective; it was descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all students with obsession ((BA students of Iran University of Science and Technology (240 students)); out of whom 150 individuals were selected as a sample size (through Cochran sample size formula), using a convenience sampling method. Data collection was done based on early maladaptive schemas questionnaire, child-rearing styles questionnaire, and Yeel Brown's (1989) obsessive-compulsive disorder questionnaire. The analysis of the data obtained from implementing the questionnaires was done through SPSS19 software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multifold Regression).

Results showed that there was a relationship between early maladaptive schemas and obsessive-compulsive disorder of students (P

The mental health of women with overweight is at a higher risk comparing with women without overweight.

The present study aims to examine the effect of behavioral exercise therapy, exercise therapy and harmony stimulation on self-concept, depression, anxiety and stress among obese women in Tehran, 2017.

The method was semi-experimental, pre-test and post-test with control group design. The population of the study consisted of women aged 20 years and older (not more than 40 years) in Tehran's tenth province. Convenience sampling method was used and the statistical sample included 40 persons. The therapy consisted of behavioral exercise therapy, exercise therapy and harmony stimulation in 10 sessions around 1 hour (only for the experimental group). Data collection was done based on Beck's self-concept questionnaire and DASS (Depression, Anxiety and Stress) scale. The data analysis (descriptive and inferential) was conducted by SPSS20 software.

The results showed the therapies were effective on depression, anxiety and stress in obese women. Moreover, the self- concept of women with obesity increased after the therapies (p < 0.05).

It can be settled that the mental health of women with obesity can be changed by behavioral exercise therapy and exercise therapy.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is a fatal neurologic disorder caused by a defect in the immune system.

The present research was conducted with the aim of studying legal supports in light of international guidelines of lifestyle among patients with HIV/AIDS.

This study was practical in terms of objectives and descriptive in terms of data collection method. Moreover, it was qualitative in terms of the data type. The population consisted of two groups, legal experts (Shahid Beheshti University, Imam Sadiq, Tehran and Allameh University) and HIV Patients. Eight experts and thirteen patients were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and implemented and after a few evaluations, categories, sub-categories and codes, the smallest meaningful units, were extracted and classified. Content analysis of conventional (customary) methods was used for analysis of qualitative data.

Generally, the results indicated that the legal binding items in relation to the patient with AIDS are absent or rarely available so that improving lifestyle at the international level and within the country and in developed countries based on their own country specific rules and human rights is really difficult.

International study guidelines on AIDS and Human Rights can really have an effect on reducing the vulnerability of patients and impunity of prone people.

Migraine is a common disabling type of a headache, which has a relationship with temporary changes in the diameter of blood vessels.

The present study aimed to compare positive psychological characteristics in individuals with and without a migraine.

The method of the present research was causal-comparative (ex-post facto), using parallel samples. The statistical population of this research consisted of all the individuals with a migraine in Tehran who had visited Tehran's city health center (2016), out of whom 60 individuals were selected based on entrance-exit criteria and semi-structured interviews, using a convenience sampling method; and 60 individuals without a migraine were put together with them. The spiritual intelligence questionnaires, life meaning, meta-personal self-construct and life satisfaction questionnaires were used in order to collect data. In addition, the items related to demographic data were completed.

The results of data analysis, using SPSS20 software, showed that spiritual intelligence, life meaning, meta-personal self-construct, and life satisfaction significantly exist in those with lower migraine (P

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the most common causes of mortality in preterm infants. Despite appropriate results of corticosteroids prescription for preventing RDS, early use of these medications after birth has raised concerns about short and long-term complications. Inhaler corticosteroids have lower systemic absorption and have been considered to decrease short and long term complications of systemic corticosteroids to minimum.

In this randomized clinical trial we aimed to assess effectiveness of intravenous dexamethasone and budesonide nebulizer in treatment of infantile respiratory distress syndrome.

In this randomized clinical trial preterm infants with confirmed diagnosis of RDSwere randomly allocated to two groups; the first group received intravenous Dexamethasone (0.15 mg/kg every 12 hours) and the second group received Budesonide nebulizer (200 μg/ day) through jet nebulizer. Treatment duration, complicationsand received doses as well as response to treatment and mortality rates were recorded in a checklist.

Finally 60 infants (35 female and 25 male) in Budesonide and Dexamethasone groups underwent analysis. Mean arterial oxygen saturation was 88.60±3.21 % in Budesonide and 88.13±3.73% in Dexamethasone group before intervention (p=0.606). In the fifth day of intervention it was 93.80±2.14% in Budesonide and 93.25±3.76 in Dexamethasone group (p=0.441). Prior to intervention, Budesonide group had a mean respiratory rate (RR) of 71.50±12.33 and it was 67.17±12.84 in Dexamethasone group (p=0.188). In the fifth day of intervention, infants had a mean RR of 45.66±8.87 in Budesonide and 48.21±10.11 in Dexamethasone group (p= 0.179). Mean hospitalization duration was 16.36±11.32 days in Dexamethasone and 17.40±14.39 in Budesonide group (p=0.758).

We concluded that there is no significant difference between intravenous Dexamethasone and Budesonide nebulizer for treatment of infantile RDS.

Malignant pericardial mesothelioma is a very rare tumoraccounting for 4% of all cardiac and pericardial tumors. We introduce a rare case of primary pericardial mesotheliomasince patients with mesothelioma mostly present with nonspecific symptomsand one-time diagnosis plays a major role in treatment. Our patient is a 29-year-oldCaucasian man with a complaint of worsening dyspnea and weight loss over the prior three weeks. After transthoracic echocardiography and CT scan, the patient underwent open-heart surgery and biopsy was achieved. Finally, the diagnosis of primary pericardial mesothelioma was confirmed.
