Introduction: The correct development of sleep and wake immature states of premature infant has important role in maturation of brain but often, healthcare personnel neglect from this dimension of development and there are limited data about sleep and wake states of premature infant hospitalized in NICU. The aim of this study was to assessing the states of sleep and wake of premature infant and its relation with demographic variables. Materials &#38; Methods:. In a descriptive-analytical study, 70 premature infant hospitalized in NICU constantly were selected based on the needed criteria. The sleep and wake state of infants were recorded with use of behavioral sleep and wake scale of Als. Scale validity was performed using its content analysis, translation, and reliability by Pearson coefficient. Results: The results showed that infants in sleep state had maximum rate of light sleep 3.65&#177;3.27 and minimum rate of deep sleep 0.24&#177;1.05 and in wake state had maximum rate of active awake 1.90&#177;2.09 and minimum rate of quietly awake 0.18&#177;0.68. Also Infants had states with stress 7.75&#177;1.96 more than states without stress 3.65&#177;3.27. Regression analysis showed no significant relation between gestational age and weight of infants with deep sleep and quietly awake. Conclusion: In this study premature infant were mostly in undesirable states of sleep and wake that this may lead to growing and developmental disorders of brain.

Background: Obesity as one of the most important health problems in the world, involved in the incidence of many chronic disorders. Obese individuals have lower level of vitamins and minerals such as zinc. Zinc is one of trace elements involved in synthesis, storage, release and action of insulin and in pathway of fat and carbohydrate metabolism. This study conducted to assay the effects of zinc supplementation on the insulin resistance, lipid profiles and blood sugar in obese people. Methods: This randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 60 obese people (BMI &#62;30 kg/m2). Duration of intervention was one month. The eligible participants divided in two equal groups: intervention and placebo, randomly. Intervention group received a 30mg/d zinc pill and placebo group received 30mg/d starch. The concentration of serum insulin, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), lipid profiles and fasting blood glucose were determined in onset and at the end of study. Results: Zinc supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in serum insulin concentration, insulin resistance index and serum triglyceride at the end of intervention (p&#60;0.05). However, these results were not significant in placebo group. In contrast, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and fasting blood, sugar (FBS) did not change significantly. Conclusion: Zinc supplement had positive effect on the reduction of insulin concentration and insulin resistance index. More studies with longer period of intervention suggested for disclose more mechanisms in this field.

Background and Objective: In spite of the reverse relationship between Dairy products consumption and chronic diseases, the university students do not consume enough amounts of dairy products. Success interventions for changing dairy consumption patterns need to determine its stages of change. Determining medical students&#8217; readiness to change the dairy consumption pattern through stages of change was the aim of this study. Methods: For this descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, 404 medical students were selected by random clustered sampling. The food frequency and stages of change questionnaires were used to get data. The relationship between age, sex, body mass index, settlement situation, marriage situation and educational STATUS with dairy consumption stages of change were analyzed by chi-2, Kruskal-wallis, Spearman correlation and logistic regression. Results: Less than 50% of students (40% females and 46% males) consumed enough servings of dairy products daily. The servings of dairy consumption had not relation with sex, marriage or settlement status, age and body mass index. The least number of students (12.6%) were in precontemplation and 26% in contemplation, 18.8% in preparation, and 24.8 and 17.8% in action and maintenance stages. While there was relationship between educational status and stages of change, such a relation had not been found between other variables and stages of change. The percent of internship students in action and maintenance stages were greater than students in medical basic sciences (OR=1.7). Conclusion: Regards to students&#8217; inadequate amount and inappropriate kind of dairy products consumption and readiness to change dairy consumption in about half of students, it seems necessary to apply appropriate intervention strategies on the basis of stages of change to correct dairy consumption patterns.

Background: Myocardial infarction is the first cause of death in people over 35 years. Because most risk factors for heart disease are associated with behavior and consciousness. This study examined the impact of education based on knowledge and performance of the health belief model work has been done in patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: This quasi-experimental study in 74 patients with myocardial infarction based on the method selected and then randomly assigned to two groups. The data were collected through student t-test, paired t, t, chi square score was analyzed. Results: Independent t tests showed that both age groups are homogeneous (P=0.496). Significant gender differences between the two groups using statistical analysis when there was no score (P=0.314) between age and physical performance and gender awareness and gender and performance between the two groups of patients there was no significant difference.. Conclusion: Education in the model of increased awareness of disease and risk factors in disease activity and improves performance.

Background and Objectives: Cyanide is a toxic pollutant that is can be discharged from different industries such as iron and steel industry, coal mining and metal plating. Presence of this toxin in water and wastewater is a serious hazard and lead to undesirable effects on both the environment and human. Thus, its concentration control is essential for human health. The aim of this study was investigation of Cyanide Removal from aqueous solution using precipitation process (FeCl3). Material and Methods: This study is an experimental study in lab scale that was carried out in a batch system by jartest. Variations of this study including pH, FeCl3 concentration, reaction time and desired concentration of cyanide were investigated. Data were analyzed using Excel (version 2007) software. Results: The results of this research were showed that Cyanide with initial concentration of 10 mg/l in precipitation process was removed by 40% (conditions pH=90, FeCl3=0.4 g/l and the time 60 minutes). Also, the precipitation process efficiency to cyanide removal decreased of 40 to 23%, by increasing of the initial cyanide concentration of 10 to 15 mg/l. Conclusion: Precipitation process can be considered as a suitable alternative for recovery of cyanide to be re-used. Although, this process has limitations for treat total cyanide to environmental standards level. So, it is better be used in combination with other processes of these contaminants removal.
