Introduction: Attention to psychological issues can contribute to improving the health of patients with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction on anxiety sensitivity in patient with chronic pain. Methods: In the frame of single subject design among patients with chronic pain who referring to Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran, 3 patients were selected through convenient sampling and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria received mindfulness-based stress reduction training for 8 sessions. Patients were evaluated 6 times by Anxiety Sensitivity Inventory (Taylor & Cox, 1998) during therapy and 1 month follow up. Data were analyzed using the indices for trend changes, slope and the visual inspection of the charts, the recovery percent index and effect size were used to determine the clinical significance. Results: The results showed a steady decrease in the scores of the anxiety sensitivity scales (x̄ =20/08, ES=0/67) and the subscales of Fear of cardiovascular-gastro intestinal symptoms (x̄ =17, ES=0/69), Fear of respiratory symptoms (x̄ =13/33, ES=0/80), Fear of visible anxiety reactions in public (x̄ =12/33, ES=0/73) and Fear of lack of cognitive inhibition (x̄ =7/33, ES=0/67) which indicated the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training in reducing these variables in patients with chronic pain. Conclusion: According to the role of psychological factors as predisposing, precipitating and continuation of chronic pain, education of mindfulness-based stress reduction could reduce anxiety sensitivity play an important role as a supportive and rehabilitation treatment along with medical treatments.

Introduction: perpetration Crime is not a random event among soldiers and happens as a result of a course of thoughts, behaviors, circumstances and inter-personal relations which mostly originate from some time before the military training period.

Preventive interventions such as training, consultation and psychotherapy should be also performed.

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity and its related problems are arising in the world, and it is supposed that the inflammation status can promote insulin resistance and other disorders associated with obesity. Aim of this study is to compare the interleukin-18 levels and glycemic indices of athletic and nonathletic soldiers. Method: Forty athletic and non-athletic volunteer soldiers were selected from among staff of Shiraz Military Training Center. Blood samples were collected from all subjects at 8: 00 a. m. in fasting condition. Independent t test was used for statistical analysis of data (p≤ 0. 05). Results: There is no significant difference in levels of interleukin-18 (p=0. 52), fasting glucose (p=0. 21), insulin (p=0. 34) and insulin resistance (p=0. 19) of athletic and non-athletic soldiers. Conclusion: It appears that exercise activity of soldiers is not in an extent to have significant effects on levels of interleukin-18 and glycemic indices.

Background: Many studies have by now recognized about effective factors on marital satisfaction. Perceived support, alexithymia and empressement, but the important roles of perceived support, alexithymia and empressement, all together, did not get researchers attention on marital satisfaction, yet.

Materials and methods: This research was post hoc and analytical study of correlational type. Statistical population consist of students women in Islamic Azad University of Varamin in 1395-96 academicyear. 140 women selected by simple random sampling method. The instruments were marital satisfaction questionnaire, social support appraisal scale, alexithymia scale and marital intimacy needs questionnaire. Data were analyzed by stepwise regression analysis method. esults: The findings showed that perceived support, alexithymia, empressement and affective intimacy had a significant relation with marital satisfaction. These variables predicted 44 percent of variance of marital satisfaction and perceived support had the most contribution in prediction of marital satisfaction. Conclusion: The results were due to the importance of perceived support, alexithymia, empressement and affective intimacy variables in predicting marital satisfaction in women. Therefore paying attention to these variables such perceived support, alexithymia and empressement can be ensuring marital satisfaction.

Introduction: Psychological variables have an important effect in adaptation and quality of life in cardiovascular patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediatory role of coping styles in relation between personality types and illness perception in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 87 in-patients with acute myocardial infarction who was admitted to CCU were enrolled into this study by consecutive selection. uestionnaires of demographics information and Brief-illness perception (B-IP ), NEO five-factor inventory (NEO-FFI) and coping inventory for stressful situations (WOC ) have completed for the study group and was analyzed by multiple regression and Pearson correlation. Results: Analysis of data path showed a meaningful and significant relation between neuroticism and emotion-oriented coping style(r=0. 539) and conscientiousness and task-oriented coping style (r=0. 329). Results represented a relation between neuroticism and illness perception(r=480) in direct path. Analysis with mediating effect of coping methods showed a relation between of openness to experience and illness perception(r=0. 084).

Introduction: microwave radiation, are waves with the short wavelength and high energy which are used in telecommunication systems, radars and home appliances such as microwave ovens. The power and energy of these waves can be used to damage humans and equipment. The purpose of this study is to introduce the military applications of microwave waves and the effects of these waves on humans. Method: In this review study, by researching in reputable scientific databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Springer and Google Scholar, the use of microwave radiation as weapons and the effects of these waves on human health has been addressed and the results were analyzed. Results: Microwave radiation in the form of Rear door pulses whit the wireless mechanism, cause the electronic systems to be neutralized or deactivated and in the Front door they destroy the power cables and telephone lines. These waves have different side effects on the endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, reproductive and hematopoietic stem systems at various frequencies. At the same time military's use of these waves against humans, the ways to deal with it, such as physical methods, observance of distance from waves, and some standards, are in progress. Conclusion: Regarding the advancement of technology and the focus of Western countries on microwave-based weapons, field studies are necessary to recognize, counteract and reduce the effects of these weapons on humans and equipment.
