Background and Aim: Nutrition is one of the fundamental factors affecting the health of all people. So that nutritional deficiencies are considered as the most important global problems. Due to its importance in the field of health, this study aimed to assess the nutritional status of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences using anthropometric indices was conducted in the academic year 2014-2015.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional on 450 students of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in 2015 was. Inventory and instruments for measuring weight, height, waist and arm circumference was used. Data prepared using SPSS version 21 were analyzed.Results: The study showed that 2.9% of students (13 people) were obese and 14.9 percent (67 people) are overweight.6.8 percent (31people) had abdominal obesity. MUAC measurements showed that 3.5 percent of boys (7 people) and 12.4 percent of girls (31 people) has an important loss of underweight and malnutrition. Significant relationship was observed between BMI and MUAC sex (P<0.05).Conclusion: The results indicate that cases of obesity and malnutrition among students respectively. Therefore, proper nutrition and lifestyle programs recommended.

Background and Aim: Identifying risk factors affecting on incidence poisoning is a fundamental measure to prevent poisoning in the community, In the meantime, find an equation for determination effects of factors and severity association of them has great importance. Purpose of this study compare the performance of two models ordinary logistic regression and conditional logistic regression in determination risk factors for unintentional childhood poisoning.Materials and Methods: In the present study was used of data a case-control study that to determination risk factors for unintentional childhood poisoning in Tehran was carried out. After collecting the relevant data into the software stata and to determine the risk factors on incidence poisoning of two conditional logistic regression model and ordinary logistic regression was used. Odds ratios (OR) with confidence interval (CI) 95% for crude and adjusted with sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve were estimated for each of the proposed models, then they were compared.Results: In multiple conditional logistic regression model addiction in the family, previous poisoning, maternal occupation and inaccessibility of poisoning products have shown a significant impact on incidence of poisoning. But In multiple logistic regression model, addition to the items listed, mental -mental illness in the family showed a significant relationship with outcome (poisoning). The AUC of ROC for conditional logistic regression model %95.82 (CI: 95% 0.94-0.97) with sensitivity and specificity 92.9% and 84.2% respectively and for logistic regression model %89.75 (CI: 95% 0.86-0.93) with sensitivity and specificity 83.6% and 83.1% respectively was obtained.Conclusion: Although confidence interval associated with conditional logistic regression model compared with logistic regression is narrow and on the other hand, higher under curve area of ROC is a good indication of the overall precision of this model in the diagnosis of poisoning. But should be noted that use of each of these models depends on the feature of data (matched or unmatched).

Background and Aim: In most cases the vitamin D3 through food sources is not sufficient, the same food sources are limited and cannot meet the needs of children and adults.

The most frequent bladder cancer is in both sexes in 2009 and the plenty of bladder cancer in men more than women.Conclusion: Based on the results, Bladder cancer in Kermanshah process variable and more increased. Although a proportion of this increase may be due to improvements in cancer registration system, still the probability of increasing the plenty of bladder cancer exists with increasing life expectancy, lifestyle and other risk factors. Thus planning to investigate the causes of this cancer can be useful in the primary prevention of the cancer.

Background and Aim: Neglect of aggression in adolescents increases the unhealthy relationships between people, reduced quality of life, and lead to problems such as truancy, academic failure and substance abuse. So this study aimed to investigate the relationship between a numbers of demographic variables with aggression.Material and Method: In this descriptive- cross sectional study, statistical population was all high school students who were studying in Ilam in the course of the school year 94-95. Using cluster sampling, 265 students were selected as sample. Demographic information and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) was completed by participants. For data analysis, statistical methods of frequency, mean, standard deviation, minimum value and maximum value was used. Tests of inferential statistics were Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, ANOVA test post hoc LSD test. For data analysis, twentieth edition of SPSS software were used.Results: The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between aggressions with age, while there was no significant relationship with the rank of birth. The level of aggression areas was not significantly in both urban and rural different. Aggression in students majoring in the humanities and mathematics was less than experimental major. Students with unemployed fathers had higher levels of aggression compared to students who their fathers who employed.Conclusion: The findings suggest that efficient skills to manage aggression in adolescence among the important issues that should be more attention.

Background and Aim: Herbicides have become one of the largest technology tools for agriculture. With the arrival of the body fish, can damage body organs and eventually be transferred to final consumer, means humans. According to the effects of isomalto-oligosaccharides prebiotic on, and some indicators of biological growth of aquatic species, in this study the effects isomalto-oligosaccharide prebiotics immune on liver, gills and intestines tissue at pretilachlor concentrations lethal poison in common carp.Materials and Methods: In this study, 147 common carp with average 6.13±0.31 were stored for about two weeks in aquariums to adapt to environmental conditions. Water physicochemical parameters were measured during the experiment. Four concentrations 2 mg/l, 2.4 mg/l, 2.8 mg/l, 3 mg/l of pretilachlor and 1 g/kg prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharides were considered for this study.Results: The results showed that the probiotic treatments samples that exposed to Pretilachlor had some liver lesions: vacuolization, the degeneration of the epithelium, the destruction of the villi in the intestine, and ascites complications include hemorrhage, necrosis and stagnation of bile, hyperplasia symptoms of primary and secondary blade, blade coating of the secondary gill tissue.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that probiotic isomalto-oligosaccharides alone cause lesions in the liver, gills and intestines of common carp. As well as treatments before exposure to lethal doses of poison, immunated by probiotics isomalto-oligosaccharides, pretilachlor could not lead immune and safety against the damaging effects of pollution and these probiotics could be useful as safe and effective.
