Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasites are the most common enteric pathogens in patients with HIV infection. These intestinal pathogens are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV positive patients. There have been very few reports on the prevalence of intestinal parasites in HIV positive and AIDS patients in Iran. To investigate the prevalence of opportunistic intestinal parasites in this population, a cross-sectional study was carried out on 306 HIV positive and AIDS patients in Khorramabad city.

Materials and methods: Demographic data were collected by a questionnaire. Three stool samples were collected from every patient. Direct smear, Formalin-ether concentration techniques and Modified acid fast (Kinione) and modified trichorome staining method carried out on all samples. Data was analyzed by T-test and Chi square method.

Results: After examination’s it detect that, Prevalence of the intestinal parasite in HIV positive and AIDS patients in Khorramabad city was 22.5% and This rate was higher in AIDS patients. Moreover, we demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between age group, level of education, occupation, type of intestinal signs, variants and infection to intestinal parasites. It’s noticeable that between status of HIV/AIDS variant and infection to intestinal parasite there was a significant relationship

Conclusion: High prevalence of intestinal parasites in HIV positive and AIDS patients in Khorramabad city reflects the necessity of prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment programs for these patients.

Recognition of deformities and corrective exercise is a branch of physical education which intends to emend and treat various muscular weaknesses and deformities using proper and accurate corrective exercise and sports scientific principles.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of regular corrective exercise on skeletal deformities such as scoliosis, shoulders dropping, flat foot and bow leg in secondary school male students of Khorramabad city as the statistical population. Materials and Methods: 160 girls in khorramabad city, aged 12-14 years, participated in this study. The subjects were examined twice before and after 24 sessions of corrective exercise. Deformities were measured by grid plane, plumb line and other relevant tests. The gathered data were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods including: frequency, percentage and graphs. Results: In 12 years old sbjects the degree of shoulders dropping, flat foot and bow leg in post- test were lower than pre-test and differences were significant (F=7.96, P<0.001& F=100.1, P<0.001 & F=27.63, P<0.001), but scoliosis was not significant (F=3.32 , P>0.001). The differences between pre and post measurments of shoulders dropping, flat foot and bow leg in 13 years old cases were significant (F= 100.1, P<0.001 & F=27.63, P<0.001 F=7.96, P<0.001),but for scoliosis, the differences were not significant (F=3.32 & P>0.001). Finally in 14 years old subjects for shoulders dropping, flat foot and bow leg, differences between pre and post- test were significant (F=7.96, P<0.001 & F= 100.1, P<0.001& F=27.63, P<0.001) but scoliosis were not significant(F=3.32 , P>0.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study emphasize the reliable, accurate, feasible, and easy methods for decreasing abnormalities. Furthermore, it showed that the corrective exercise programs, can reduce the abnormalities in oldness.

Background: Hepatitis is a disease causing inflammation of the liver and impairment of its function .It is often transmitted through contaminated blood and blood products and may become chronic presenting with flu like symptoms .Also fatigue , loss of appetite , myalgia and arthralgia , nausea and vomiting are its remarkable symptoms. The aim of this research was to study the prevalence rate of hepatitis B in rural papulation of Garab, Padervand, Chaghabal and Tang-e Panj in terms of age, sex, job… and its comparison with prevalence rate in similar regions of our province and country. Materials and Methods: Aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HbsAg infection in areas of Garab, Padervand , Chaghabal and Tang-e Panj and relationship between defined epidemiological factors and the infection in the population under study, after providing a questionnaire containing the symptoms of the disease, the data were collected and blood specimens were obtained. Then the specimens were tested by ELISA . Results : Out of a total of 454 cases 227 were male and 227 were female ( identical sex ratio ) of them 27 cases (6.2 % ) were HBsAg positive . Out of infected persons 14 were male(51.9%) and 13 were female(48.1%) . Most infected ones were 20 to 40 years old and housewives , truck drivers and students were amongst the most infected cases . Conclusion : Based on the findings of the study heptitis B infection in these areas is far more frequent than the mean national rates amounting to 2 to 3 percent that is in accordance with surveillance system data in the mentioned areas . Although the findings does not define the main transmission pattern of the disease , when age and gender distribution of infected cases is considered ( almost equal sex ratio and preponderance of married ones ) we can state that this pattern is largely directed to sexual transmission .Although all age and sex groups are at risk , men and those at the age of 20 to 40 are more prone to infection . Occupation, blood transfusion , household dimension , vaccination history were significantly related to HbsAg infection .

Background: physical activities play an important role in increasing heart and blood vessels performance. The aim in this is determining the influence of 10 weeks aerobic exercise and 6 weeks non exercise on relaxation blood pressure of healthy non athletic girl students.

Materials and Methods: In this semi experimental study 27 non athletic female students with 22/30± 1/70 were selected voluntary and attended the 10 weeks program, three sessions with 55 to 80% extra systole.

After 10 weeks aerobic exercise, volunteers spent 6 weeks without exercise. Before starting the aerobic term, after non exercise term, after exercise term and also after non exercise term, relaxation blood pressure of the volunteers were measured by mercury Richter pizometer.

Results: The results showed that there is a meaningful difference between volunteers relaxation systolic blood pressure in pre and post test and also in post test 1 and 2, but there is not any meaningful difference between volunteers relaxation systolic blood pressure in these tests.

Conclusion: 10 week aerobic and immediately 6 week without exercise can be effective in relaxation blood pressure
