Abstract
Background: A large number of students tend to carry school backpacks. Carring heavy backpacks is increasingly putting the students at risk, and may cause long term damage to their growing body. This survey was conducted on Khorramabad primary school students to determine if their backpacks are too heavy and the methods of packing and wearing them, and history of back pain among them.
Materials and Methods: This Cross – sectional Study included taking 1009 students, Weighting them and their backpacks, While asking about Packing and wearing methods and the history of back pain.
Results: The results showed that backpacks were heavy in 57/8% of the cases. 24/6% had history of back pain and there were significant relationships between the carrying heavy backpacks and wearing them improperly, and the history of back pain.
Conclusion: The main conclusion in this study was that many students are carrying heavy backpacks and packing and wearing them improperly which put them at risk of back pain and other complications.

Abstract
Background : Hemifacial microsomia or Goldenhar syndrome is a congenital abnormality that it's main features are an one-sided under development of ear (or Artesia), jaw and neck.
This syndrome is associated with additional anomalies and from view point of phenotype is highly variable.
Case Report: The case was a one day old girl born to a 30 years old woman by normal vaginal delivery.
Congenital abnormalities were noted on physical examination and included right microtia with ear canal Artesia ,hypertelorism ,micrognatia ,defect between the right ear and lip and cardiac murmur.
Conclusion: Goldenhar Syndrome is a congenital abnormally which manly affects face, but another organs involvement should be considered .Cardiac problems are the main causes of death in these patients.

Abstract
Background: Newborn infants routinely may undergo invasive procedures, even after uncomplicated birth. Evidence shows that neonates do feel pain and may even have increased sensitivity to pain and to its long term effects compared with older infants . Non pharmacologic interventions are valuable for pain relief during minor procedures in neonates. The aim of this study was to asses the effectiveness of expressed breast milk)EBM( in reducing pain due to venipuncture and its comparison with formula and 50% dextrose solution .
Materials and Methods: A clinical trial study was conducted in 30 term neonates. Each infant received 3 treatments with EBM , formula and 50% dextrose solution during consecutive venus blood sampling and their responses were measured by behavioral acute pain rating scale for neonates (DAN Score ) . This study was done in form of double blind and observers were unaware of the prescribed matter.
Results: This study showed that pain score significantly is lower in neonates who received EBM (P<0.001) .There was no statistical relationship between age , sex and weight with pain score .
Conclusion : Expressed breast milk effectively reduces pain of venipuncture in term neonates and it could be natural, noninvasive and available analgesic particularly when mother can not be present to breastfeeding.

Abstract
Background: Curcumin is an active ingredient in turmeric, which is used as herbal medicine for the treatment of certain diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two weeks of exhaustive swimming and supplementation of curcumin on alcohol induced liver damage biomarkers in male wistar rats.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 male wistar rats were randomly selected and divided into 4 equal groups: control, training, supplemental curcumin, and training with curcumin supplement. At first, every 8 hours for 4 days, alcohol was gavaged to all groups, proportional to the body weight of each rat. This was followed by an alcohol withdrawal period. After that, the practice period began, including long-term swimming in water, for the exercise group, and the curcumin supplement with exercise group. Finally, blood samples were taken from the heart under anaesthetic
Results: Curcumin had no significant effect on AST (P = 0.401) and ALT (P = 0.978) and the ratio of these two enzymes (p = 0.657). Exercise significantly reduced AST (P = 0.022), but did not significantly decrease ALT (P = 0.759) or the ratio of these two enzymes (p = 0.225). Exercise and supplementation interaction did not significantly decrease ALT (P = 0.462) or AST (P = 0.073) activity or the AST / ALT ratio (P = 0.520).
Conclusion: The reduction of liver damage markers in this study suggests that exercise and curcumin consumption may, through protective effects, improve the negative effects of alcohol on the liver, and prevent alcohol induced liver disease.

Abstract
Background: The most common iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) are; Hypothyroidism, simple goiter, psychomotor problems, hearing-neurological disorders and cretinism. This study was carried out to evaluation of urinary iodine in 8-10 years old students in lorestan province in 2019.
Materials and Methods: In this analytical descriptive study, 236 students of both sexes aged 8-10 years from urban and rural areas were selected randomly by cluster sampling and urinary iodine measured based on acid digestion. The results were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS; version 20).
Results: In this cross-sectional descriptive study the urinary iodine excretion median was 6 mg/dl and in 21.2% was more than 10 mg/dl and in 78.8% was less than 10 mg/dl. urinary iodine excretion median difference was significant for urban and rural students (p = 0.021).There was no significant relationship between gender and age variables with the median urinary iodine excretion in students.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that urinary iodine excretion in Lorestan school students is not at the desired level of the World Health Organization; Therefore, it is necessary that the measures taken by the provincial committee for the control of iodine deficiency disorders be evaluated.

Abstract
Background: 170Tm-EDTMP has been proposed as a radiopharmaceutical with desirable properties and an alternative to 89Sr-Cl2 for the palliative treatment of patients with bone metastasis. This study aimed to calculate the absorbed dose of 170Tm-EDTMP in the bone of patients with bone metastasis.
Materials and Methods: In this study, an adult human femur phantom and the GATE Monte Carlo toolkit were used for simulation. 170Tm-EDTMP was distributed in the bone compartment, and the absorbed dose per disintegration was calculated in the different phantom compartment. In order to comparison and validation of results, simulations with similar conditions were performed for 89Sr-Cl2. Then, the absorbed dose per administered activity of radiopharmaceuticals in the bone and bone marrow was calculated using the MIRD method and compared with each other.
Results: The bone absorbed dose per administered activity for 170Tm-EDTMP was 5.52 times higher than 89Sr-Cl2, while the bone marrow absorbed dose by 170Tm-EDTMP was 2.11 times higher than 89Sr-Cl2.
Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this study, 170Tm-EDTMP is a suitable radiopharmaceutical for use in the palliative treatment of patients with bone metastases. However, in order to further investigation, there is a need for clinical trial in the patients.
