the variety of the bags in the marhet, persudes students to use variable bags, irrespective of their muscle of physical complications. Researches show that various methods for educational devices carrying, have different effects on student physical pain perception and muscles, skeletal, cardio vascular, respiratory and metabolism performances. This research is conducted to review the school common bags carrying (hand bag, shoulder bag and backpack) on elementary school girl students body muscles electrical activity. this study is from semi-empirical kind. This research subjects are selected (one school randomly) from hamedan city elementary grade girl students. Their body muscles electrical activities include: spine erectro muscle(ES) , rectus abdominis (RA), upper trapiziuse (UT) and pectoralise major(PM) bilateral are recorded for each student by using EMG unit after carrying each one of these bags that weight about 10 percent of their body weight for 15 minutes on treedmile with a speed of 1/1 m/s and one minute standing. Finding showed that shoulder bag carrying result in dissimilar activities of left and right parts of four ES, RA, UT, PM muscles.(p=0/001). Hand bag carrying results in increasing this dissimilarity in left and right parts of UT, RA, ES muscles (p=0/001), so that EMG activity level in RA, ES muscles opposite direction increased sighificantly (p=0/001) and it reduced significantly in the other direction(p=0/001). while in UT muscle significaticant increase in the other direction and reduction in the opposite direction is observed (p=0/001) left and right parts activity of PM muscle during handbag carrying is similar (p=0/068), during backpack carrying EMG activity of RA muscle is reduced in a significant and dissimilar way(p=0/001) and it reduces in a significant and similar way in PM, UT and ES muscles(p=0/001).so backpack is considered as the best schoolbag in comparison to the other reviewed bags because of similar activities and lower activities of right and left parts of the muscles.

Introduction: The presence of antibiotic residues in food products of animal origin, especially milk and meat, and their consumption can cause serious side effects for human health. The purpose of this study was to monitor antibiotics residues in raw and pasteurized milk produced in Elam province of Iran during the spring and summer of 2012. Material and Methods: For this purpose, 9 industrial dairy farms, 4 local milk collection centers and 3 dairy processing plants were randomly selected. Raw and pasteurized milk samples were collected in 3 replications. Residual antibiotic of milk samples were monitored by Copan Milk Test. Finding: The results showed that 28 of all milk samples (29.16%) showed detectible antibiotic residues. Significant differences (P<0.05) observed between antibiotic residues in spring and summer milk samples, So that, the milk samples contains antibiotic residues in summer season (37.50%) was higher than compared with spring milk samples (20.83%). Contamination of raw milks (30.76%) with antibiotic residues was significantly (P<0.05) higher than compared with pasteurized milk samples (22.20%). Discussion & Conclusion: According to the adverse effects of contaminated milk antibiotic residues, which can be considered an important factor threatening human health and numerous losses that would caused in the milk industry, There seems to be a need for more studies to determine the exact type of antibiotic residue in milk consumption in this province.

Background: Efficiency assessment is one of the fundamental issues in hospitals. It is possible to evaluate and compare hospitals with measuring performance indicators. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of affiliated hospitals in Bushehr University of Medical Sciences from the viewpoint of performance indicators by using the graphical Pabon Lasso model.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2012. Seven hospitals affiliated to Bushehr University of Medical Sciences during 2009 to 2011 were evaluated. Selected indicators for this comparison were analyzed by using the graphical Pabon Lasso model.
Results: Three hospitals consist of Zainabieh, Choromi and Baghiatollah was located in first region and Imam Khomeini hospital was in the second region during these three years. Fatemeh Zahra hospital was in 3, 4 and 3-4 borderline regions, respectively. 17 Shahrivar Hospital was in second region in the first year and in the later years was shifted to third region. Amiralmomenin hospital was in 2, 3 regions and was moved back to second region again.
Conclusion: Adopting appropriate strategies to reduce services for hospitals in the first region because of inefficiency can be beneficial. Hospitals which are located in the third region are better to maintain the current situation. And finally, hospitals in second and fourth regions can be approached to efficient region by adopting an appropriate management and improving the performance indicators.

Bayrami R* , Ebrahimipour H
Non pharmacological pain reduction drugs due to lack of complications on mother and fetus and easy to use are used in labor process. The present study is a experimental study carried out on nulliparus women who were admitted to the delivery room in Khoy city to investigate the Holy Quran sound effects on the intensity of pain and other maternal and neonatal factors in first stage of delivery in prim gravid women. This research was conducted on 60 prima gravid women who were selected randomly and divided in two equal experimental and control groups. After being admitted in delivery room in initial stages, the intensity of labor pain and vital signs in the two groups were measured and recorded by a ruler and then the experimental group during the active phase of delivery were allowed to hear holey Quran sound by head phone for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of silence repeatedly during which time their pain intensities and vital signs were also measured and recorded. Data were analyzed with t2, t test and x2 test in spss software. In Control group intensity of pain and vital sings were measured without any intervention. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results showed that majority of subjects were 20-24 years old. There was significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of pain intensity (p<0.005) so that the average pain intensity during the first stage in the control group was higher than in the experimental group. There were significant difference between The hurt rate, respiration and blood pressure in the experimental and control group(p<0.001). In the experimental group duration of first stage shorter than control group(p<0.001). There was significant difference in Neonatal Apgar score between two groups( p<0.03). On the bases of the above findings, hearing to Holey Quran sounds can be used for reduction labor pain and duration of first stage and improve other outcomes such as vital signs and neonatal apgar score.

Background: Adjustment to chronic disease is a complex and multidimensional construct which can help the patients deal with profound changes in their personal life resulting from illness. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) with unpredictable and disabling course, among chronic diseases, can be challenging and little is known about the role of psychological adjustment of the patients toward it. The aims of this study were to identify determinants of psychological adjustment in UC patients, to examine its mediational role and the role of other predictors in predicting quality of life (QOL).
Methods: Participants were 58 female UC patients consecutively attending an outpatient gastroenterology clinic. All participants completed a set of questionnaires assessing illness perception, disease activity, QOL and psychological adjustment. Psychological adjustment was measured as a composite of depression, anxiety, perceived stress, neuroticism and emotion-focused coping strategies.
Results: The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the constructed model of psychological adjustment to depression, anxiety, perceived stress, neuroticism and emotion-focused coping, filled the data. The difference between psychological adjustment of UC patients and normal subjects was significant (F=33.88 P<0.01). Then direct and indirect effects of age, level of education, disease activity, and cognitive representations of illness with mediating psychological adjustment on QOL were examined. In the final model, the mediating role of psychological adjustment was confirmed and among other variables cognitive representations of illness was the strongest predictor of QOL.
Conclusions: The results accentuate on the importance of psychological adjustment in dealing with the chronic conditions such as ulcerative colitis and help to better understand illness perceptions and develop appropriate complementary interventions for these patients.
