Methods: The 37 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. All patients underwent spinal examinations on day 15 of their cycle. In addition, their lumbosacral range of motion was analyzed using a Zebris machine and their thoracolumbar range of motion was measured using a goniometer. Patients in the intervention group received spinal manipulation on day 15, 21, and 28 of their second menstruation cycle. Patients in both groups performed 6 exercises consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises which were begun on day 15 of their second cycle and stopped with menstruation onset. Follow-up was performed for 3 consecutive cycles in both groups. Results: Of the 37 patients who entered the study, 32 patients were analyzed. The mean age of patients was 27.68 years and their pain score was generally higher than 5 out of 10. Paired t-test was used for variables with normal distribution and Wilcoxon test for those with non-normal distribution. The pain in the abdomen, pelvis, and lower back was decreased significantly in both groups, but the effect of manipulation + exercise was greater than exercise alone. This reduction in pain in the abdominal and pelvic region after the manipulation was significant in the 3 months of follow-up (P < 0.05). Manipulation caused a reduction in diclofenac use in all 3 cycles, but in the exercise group, a significant decrease was only observed in the first cycle. The reduction in the number of days with pain after menstruation was significant after manipulation. Conclusion: Spinal manipulation seems to be a good alternative to medical therapy with much fewer complications.

It is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Signs, symptoms and paraclinical data are not specific. The patients usually undergo laparotomy for acute abdomen of poorly defined origin. High index of suspicious is required for the diagnosis of this entity. The diagnosis is usually confirmed after an explorative laparotomy. We present clinical characteristics and imaging findings of omental torsion in a young man following repeated blunt abdominal trauma.

Treatment of these patients is still a major problem in health care system. The aim of current study was to assess the epidemiology of livestock‐related injuries in a major trauma center in Iran from 2006 to 2011. Methods: In a prospective study, patients with livestock‐related injuries who were consecutively admitted to the trauma center in Kashan, Iran between 2006 and 2011 were evaluated. The data collected included patient's demographics, place and nature of accident, damaged organ, educational level, transport and outcome. Data were expressed as mean±standard deviation. Results: A total of 129 patients were included in this study, accounting for 0.3% of all trauma admission (40 273 cases). The mean age was (55.27±14.45) years. Men were affected four times more than women. Falling down from livestock is the main mechanism of trauma in all g...

They have less than three attacks weekly. After record ing of their clinical symptoms (dyspenea, cough, wheezing and nocturnal) and spirometric indices (FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FVC) twice with intervals of 3 - 6 months , they were divided into three groups. The first group was treated with salbutamol inhaler, the second with s albutamol and floxitide and the third one with salmeterol and floxitide. Then all the data was evaluated through SPSS program. the group treated with salmeterol and floxitide inhaler showed the greatest remission in coughing (%80.4), Dyspnea (%77.8), Wheezi ng (%77.8) and nocturna...

A case of Cu-7 IUCD invading into the sigmoid colon through uterine perforation caused by a pelvic blunt trauma was presented. Our case showed that uterus perforation by an IUCD could induce utero-sigmoid fistula which is likely to be missed. Imaging is required when the patients with IUCD present abdominal pain, particularly with a history of trauma.

IL-4 plays an important role in allergic immune response for its ability to prevent apoptosis of T lymphocytes. IL-4 also plays a role in lymphocytes cell differentiation, cytokines and IgE production. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between the serum levels of IL-4 and IgE with disease severity in patients with allergic asthma. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 110 asthmatic patients referred to Asthma and Allergy Clinic in Kashan and 70 healthy controls were randomly selected. Blood sample (5 ml) was taken from all the patients and healthy subjects; the serum levels of IL-4 and IgE were measured using the standard laboratory kits and ELISA method, respectively. Results: The IL-4 and IgE mean levels were not significantly associated with age and sex. The mean IgE level increased from moderate to severe with increasing asthma severity (P=0.847). Moreover, the IL-4 level in patients with severe asthma was higher than the other patients (P=0.002). Conclusion: IL-4 level was increased with increasing asthma severity, but this was not the case for IgE.

We report a 20-day-old afghan female baby that was admitted to neonatal intensive care unit, because of irritability and abdominal distension. Complete ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis was normal. In plain Radiographs of chest and abdomen with the exception of Air-filled stomach and intestine, there was no abnormality. Due to the lack of improvement and severe abdominal distension, she was transmitted to the operating room and Surgical exploration revealed perforated appendix. Appendicitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a neonate with abdominal distension and bilious vomiting and needs strong clinical suspicion.

In spite of the benign nature of most trauma cases, there is also a significant risk of mortality in such cases. In order to access the current rate of chest trauma in Iran, more surveys such as this study need to be carried out in different parts of the country. Background: Chest trauma is responsible for 50% of deaths due to trauma. This kind of death usually occurs immediately after the trauma has occurred. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the various aspects of chest trauma in patients admitted to two main trauma centers located in the Isfahan Province, Iran. Patients and Methods: During a six month period, a cross-sectional study of 100 patients who had sustained a chest injury was carried out. Data, including; age, sex, time of accident, trauma mechanism, organ injury, hospitalization length, complications, and patient outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Results: The mean ages of the patients were 24.7 ± 3.1 years. Men were injured four times more often than the women. Blunt trauma was the most common type of injury. The incidence of hemothorax was 38% in blunt traumas, and 45% (P = 0.01) in penetrating ones. The incidence of pneumothorax was 43% in blunt traumas and 20% in penetrating ones (P = 0.03). The length of hospitalization was 7.2 ± 3.2 days for blunt and 10.1 ± 3.1 days for penetrating chest traumas. Five patients (5%) died during hospitalization, three of those deaths were due to arterial injuries and two cases were due to lung contusions. Conclusions: Since hemothorax is the main complication of blunt chest trauma in young men, we recommend that special consideration needs to be made to any case of chest trauma, especially blunt chest injuries.
