Due to side effects of chemical drugs and traditionally use of fennel as sedative plant, the aim of this study was to detect the effect of Fen align on primary dysmenorrhea.Methods: A randomized double blind, placebo-controlled trial among 50 single female students who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea were selected. Then they were divided into 2 groups: experimental and control. The finagling group has received treatment for four times a day from the onset of bleeding and continued for three days for two consecutive menstrual periods.Results: In the of Finagling group, pain severity was lower after treatment in comparison with to before treatment (p<0.00). Comparison of 2 groups showed that there was significant difference in pain severity in second cycle and reduction was greater in Fenalgin group (p<0.006). In the Fenalgin group, pain duration reduced at two months (p<0.05). Painkiller using was lower in comparison with before treatment in Fenalgin group but reduction was not significant in comparison with the control group.Conclusion: It seems that the Fenalgin can reduce the primary dysmenorrhea. The researches with more samples and longer times are suggested

Background and Objective: AIDS is one of the greatest health issues in many countries in the 21 th century. The current research aimed at determineing the level of high school students' awareness, perception, and performance concerning AIDS in Babol.Methods: The current research is a descriptive study.

The general score of awareness of female students was 65.47% that was significantly higher than the male students, which was 53.01%. the are rage for all the participating students in awareness was 58.95%. The score of AIDS perception for female students was 56.03 ± 8.747 that was significantly higher than the male's score (47.50±5.313). The AIDS perception score for all the participating students was 51.9±8.44. The average score of performance against AIDS for female students was 4.39±1.42 that was significantly higher than the male's score (2.86±0.81) (P=0.000). The average performance score of all the participants was 3.46±1.39.Conclusion: The range of average related to the level of awareness, perception, and performance was fair to good.

Background and Objective: Perineal trauma during natural vaginal delivery is associated with short and long term morbidity for women. Interventions to increase the possibility for an intact perineum are needed. This study aimed to compare the effects of Ritgen's maneuver and hand-poised on perineal lacerations during delivery.Methods. This clinical trial study was performed on 70 nulliparous women who referred to Amol Emam Ali teaching center for normal delivery. They were randomly participating in Ritgen group (35 cases) or hand-poised group (35 cases). In Ritgen group, this method was used to control fetal head in the second stage of labor. It means that fmgers of one hand supported fetal occiput and the other hand applied slight pressure on the head to control the delivery of the head.In the hand-poised group, perineum wasn' t touched during the second stage of labor while fetal head was delivering. At last we compared the rate of intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration, mean duration of second stage of labor and Apgar score in 1 and 5 minute between two groups. Results: In Ritgen group, intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration were: 85.7% (30), 74.3% (26), 14.3% (5) respectively. In hande-poised group, intact perineum, episiotomy and laceration were: 80% (28), 82.9% (29), 5.8% (2) respectively. This difference was not statistically significant. In Ritgen group, first degree laceration was 14.3% (5). In hand-poised group, first degree laceration was 20% (7).This difference was not statistically significant.In Ritgen and hand-poised groups, second, third and fourth degree laceration were not occurred.Conclusion: The use of hand-poised method as technicque for perineal control is safe based on labour criteria and woman's preference during delivery.
