Abstract
Introduction: Pressure ulcers are serious health problems, common but preventable and defined as care quality indicator for health care provider services. Pressure ulcers had negative consequences for patients and healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to determine mortality and length of hospital stay in elderly people with hospital acquired pressure ulcers in Alborz Hospital of Karaj 2012.
Method: 132 records belong to elderly people with hospital acquired pressure ulcers of Alborz Hospital in Karaj 1391, through convenience sampling were studied retrospectively. Include criteria was age >65 years, minimum 2-day stay in hospital and hospital acquired pressure ulcers. Data were analysis by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and chi-square tests.
Results: The findings indicated that 15.2% of elderly patients with hospital acquired pressure ulcers was died. Mortality significantly was associated with hospitalized in intensive wards (p<0.001) grade of pressure ulcers (p<0.001) and neurological problems (p=0.045). Mean length of hospital stay was 6.8 ± 7 days with a range from 2 to 60 days. Mean length of hospital stay significantly was higher in elder people hospitalized in intensive wards (p<0.001), patients who died (p<0.001) and pressure ulcer grade III (p=0.010)
Discussion: Focus on strategies for the prevention of ulcers, particularly in older adults hospitalized in intensive wards, neurological problems and prevent progression of ulcers can help to reduce length of hospital stay and mortality in these patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Background and Aim: Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common chronic diseases in the central nervous system, which affects the physical and psychological complications of the disease and its associated stress all aspects of the patient's life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ontological cognitive therapy on fatigue, morbidity and perceived stress symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Materials and Methods: The method of the present study was experimental design with pretest and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of this study included all people with illness who referred to Iran Society of Iran in the spring of 2016-17, with 24 patients MS patients were selected as sample based on objective sampling based on semi-structured interviews and randomly divided into two groups of intervention (12 subjects) and control (n = 12). The intervention group received 10 weekly sessions on the effectiveness of Cognitive-Existential Therapy. The instruments used were Kissane's demoralization Syndrome (2004), Fatigue Scale and Perception Stress Questionnaire (Coon et al., 1983). Multi-variable covariance analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results: The experimental and control groups were based on demographic characteristics of age (years) (P <0/65), duration of diagnosis (years) (P <0/87), marital status (P <0/56), level Education (P<0/57), job status (P<0/45) were homogenized. Cognitive-Existential Therapy was used to decrease the scores of physical Fatigue (P<0.01, F=12.45), cognitive fatigue (P<0.01, F=14.35) social Fatigue (P<0.01, F= 8.13), and demoralization Syndrome (P<0.01 , F= 41.28) perceived stress (P <0.01 , F=25.75) were effective.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that using Cognitive-Existential Therapy has been able to improve the status of fatigue, demoralization syndrome e and perceived stress in patients with multiple sclerosis and promote their general health. Therefore, it can be used as an effective interventional technique for improving fatigue, demoralization syndrome and stress symptoms in patients with MS.

Abstract
The term "electromagnetic fields" (EMF) is a combination of electric and magnetic fields as a diagnostic method as well as a therapeutic tool with many advantages such as ease of operation and painlessness, very controllable, which today has found wide application in regenerative medicine and also cancer treatment.
In addition to organs such as nerves, hearts, and bones that have an electrical function, the presence of electrically charged particles inside the cells creates an internal electromagnetic field. This field can be affected by the external electromagnetic field and cause therapeutic effects. Its therapeutic effects relate to the applications of the electromagnetic field as a stimulus to induce various biological effects on cells, such as altering cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA proliferation, cytokine expression, and more. Also, combination therapy by the electromagnetic field, along with other physical therapies such as radiotherapy and even systemic therapy such as chemotherapy, are the most important approaches to using the electromagnetic field in the treatment of cancer.
Subsequently, Electromagnetic fields can lead to the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells and the modulation of the immune system, which plays an important role in the treatment of inflammatory disease and regenerative medicine treatments. Also, this field can create new horizons in cancer treatment due to its many advantages such as being a non-invasive, selective function, and ease of using and as well as affordability.
