Twenty to thirty percent of causative agents of the respiratory tract infections are still unknown, that can be related to the lack of suitable laboratory procedures. Some of these organisms may cause progressive infection such as encephalitis and cardiac complications.
To recognize the M. pneumoniae , PCR-hybridization technique was used and a specific internal probe was produced for this organism using DNA-recombinant technology. After optimizing the test, technique was evaluated with 106 throat swabs. Obtained results showed 4 amplified specimens by PCR was positive using agarose gel electrophoresis, but thirty was positive by PCR-hybridization.

Pre-eclampsia is one of the common complications in pregnancy and it is one of three causes of maternal mortality. The major cause of death in pre-eclampsia is adding convulsion and change to eclampsia.
My sulfate is choice drug for prevention of convulsion in pre-eclampsia. Another recommended drug is phenytoin. Each of these drugs have benefits and disadvantages. In this study by R.C.T procedure 60 pre-eclamptic patients divided in two randomized groups. 30 patients took phenytoin and 30 patients took Mg sulfate. In Mg sulfate group one case had convulsion (F. R 3.3%) and in phenytoin group, two cases had convulsion (F. R: 6.6%). There was no significant difference with X2 test between two drugs in anti-convulsion effect.

Conjugation is a major mechanism of DNA transfer among bacteria which takes place in both laboratory and natural environment and brings about new characteristics. Extrachromosomal DNA called plasmid are important elements in this exchange. Resistance plasmid confer resistance to many antibiotics and in this group, penicillinase plasmid is responsible for resistance to penicillins and cephalosprins. In this study, 300 E.coli strains which had been isolated from urinary tract infections were tested by a rapid acidometric method for the presence of penicillinase, of which 95% showed to be positive. 40 penicillinase producing strain were later subjected to artificial conjunction and 25% of them transferred this plasmid to recipient bacteria. The results indicate high potential for this kind of antibiotic resistance and it’s transfer.

Considering the prevalence of coronary Artery Disease (CAD) as the most common cause of death in human and its controversial risk factor, this study was conducted in the heart of Hamadan city from 1993 to 1994.
This study was descriptively carried out on 200 patients. Diagnosis was assessed by certain ECG criteria and data in age, sex, occupation, educational status, residential area, economical status, early hair loss and greying, circadian rhythm of heart attack, smoking, alcohol consumption, addiction and oral contraceptive (OCP) usage in women were documented through medical records and also, “confidence interval” was estimated.
The patient’s ages range were 59.2 + 12. Male / female ratio was 4.3 : 1. The onset of the disease was 7 years earlier among men that women. 79% of patients were high school undergraduate. Farmers had highest prevalence rate of 26.3%. the prevalence in women using OCP more than 15 years was 52.4%. Early menopause was seen in 63.6% of females. In 41.5% of cases. Acute coronary attacks occurred in the mornings. 81.5% of cases were in low economical status. 31.5% of patients had systemic hypertension. 77% of men had hair loss before age of 40 and 52% of them had gray hair before the age of 30.

The purpose of this was to determine the prevalence of using the anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) included knowledge, attitude, frequency of session training a week, side-effect, level of education relative to the AAS.370 body builder who had exercise program at least once a week regularly over the two month period in Hamadan city, participated voluntarily in this study. 71 (19/2%) of 370 subjects had the AAS for median duration 7/18-month. The most frequent drugs were oxymetholone and Nandrolone Decanoate. The group users’ knowledge about AAS had significantly better information (t = 4.34; P<0.0001) compare to non users’ knowledge. This study indicated, although, 63.2 percent of subjects testified the AAS are dangerous, and 63 percent of group users experienced side-effect of the drug, but they intended to continue using AAS in the future. Since the wide use AAS by the youth, prevention health education and promotion program essential to prevent physical, mental, and social disorder associated to the AAS.

Primary adernal insufficiency, the so-called Addision’d disease rarely and few cases have been reported due to tuberculosis. The case, a 55 years old man , complaining of severe malaise & anorexia, was admitted in 22 sept,1996. One week before admission, antituberculosis therapy had been started with a previous diagnosis of cervical lymphadenitis documented by pathologic examination of a suspended cervical lymph node. On the second day of hospitalization the patient became hypotension with reduced of consciousness & brady cardia.
Specific laboratory tests were reguested with suspended diagnosis of addison’s disease and hydrocortisone therapy started immediately. Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia & an early morning low level serum cortisol of 5.73 mg 100 ml was reported. On abdominal C.T. Scan bilateral adrenal enlargment with calcification & spenomegaly was reported. The patient with addison’s disease due to T.B has been treated with antituberculosis drugs plus prednisolone 7.5 mg per day & fludrocortison 0.05 mg per day.

A total 97 paired serum & ascites fluid samples from ascitic patients were
collected and analyzed.
The utility of the serum - ascites albumin gradient & the exudate
transudate concept as defined by ascitic fluid total protein concentration
(A.F.T.P) were compared.
46 patients were suffering from liver cirrhosis (47.4%) & 43 patients (93.5%)
from this group had AFTP < 2.5 g/dl . Albumin gradient in the same patients
was > 1.1 g/dl . In 10 patients (100%) with ascites due to malignancy AFTP >
2.5 g/dl ,and in 50% of the patients in this group albumin gradient > 1.1 g/dl
and in the rest of the patients (50%) with malignant ascites albumin
gradient was < 1.1 g/dl.
Only in diagnosis of malignant ascites AFTP was preferred to albumin
gradient in our research but in other cases it was not any superiority
between the tow concepts.
