Abstract
The Declaration of Helsinki, the most creditable ethical guideline for medical research on human subjects, has been updated 8 times since its establishment and the last revision was in 2008. Researchers, medical research subjects, authors, members of ethics committees, and editors of medical journals must be informed of the tenets of the Helsinki declaration in order to improve achievements of medical research and respect the rights of participants in medical research. In this study, the evolution of the Helsinki declaration is examined, and the provisions of the last version are compared with the previous version (2004). Finally, we made a practical interpretation of the last version, and discussed its differences from previous version. There are seven new paragraphs in the last version of the declaration. Four new paragraphs concern informed consent in areas of its being written and voluntary, renewed consent for using human materials, participants' right to revoke the consent, and exceptions from informed consent requirements. The other three new paragraphs focus on the research subjects’ right to being informed of the declarations' provisions, vulnerable groups gaining benefit from research, and registration of randomized clinical trials. It is important for researchers to recognize international guidelines such as the Declaration of Helsinki, because it enables them to use correct scientific and ethical standards in medical research. In the last version of the Helsinki Declaration more emphasis was placed on informed consent and vulnerable groups than previous versions.

Abstract
Medical laboratory services and its clients are somehow different from services of the other sectors in the health system. Patient’s Rights Charter, published by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, was comprehensive, but addressing specific aspects of the related areas in medical laboratories could promote the commitment and dedication in laboratory professional services hence, development of the Patient’s Rights Charter in medical diagnostic laboratories was put on the agenda. After a comprehensive review of existing references and resources, a committee was formed consisting of representatives of laboratory associations and experts in this field, and the draft was prepared. Thereafter several meetings and workshops were held and the members of legal organizations, medical ethics experts as well as laboratory stakeholders, technical staff and laboratory directors attended these gatherings where the draft was surveyed and comments were received. The draft underwent some changes and was edited. Finally in August 2012, the charter was approved by the Health Policy Council of the ministry and in October 2012 was officially announced by the health minister.To be consistent with the context of the Patient’s Rights Charter, essentials of this bill have been based on 5 pillars: access to appropriate laboratory services, access to information in a sufficient and effective manner, the right to choose and decide freely, respect for customer privacy and the principles of confidentiality and integrity, and availability of an efficient system for investigating complaints and suggestions.Developing and delivering the bill of rights for health services recipients is one of the foremost matters, but implementation of the provisions of the charter and monitoring of its effectiveness are the most important goals ahead. Therefore, an effective strategy to implement the rights of patients in medical laboratories should be designed and established.

Abstract
Nurses nowadays are faced with complex moral problems, which put them in conditions where their proper performance may conflict with the values and beliefs of other health care providers. In such situations, maintaining commitment to patients requires considerable moral courage, and moral sensitivity can play a significant role in the development of moral courage. The present study was performed to investigate the correlation between moral courage and moral sensitivity of the nurses working in selected hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.In this study, 260 nurses were selected by randomized sampling. Data were collected through a demographic questionnaire, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire by Han et al., and the Professional Moral Courage Scale by Sekerka et al. Content validity and face validity of the moral sensitivity questionnaire and moral courage scale were qualitatively investigated, and Cronbach's alpha was used for assessing their reliability. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytic statistical tests using SPSS 21.The results indicated that the average score of nurses’ moral courage was 90.36 ± 10.56, and the highest moral courage pertained to the dimension of moral agent. The average score of the nurses’ moral sensitivity was 60.99 ± 17.78, and the highest moral sensitivity was observed in the dimension of respect for the patient. The statistical analysis indicated a positive correlation between moral courage and moral sensitivity (P < 0.05, r = 0.15). The subjects’ moral courage differed according to their age, work experience and employment type, but not according to their gender, marital status, education level and work shift. The results of the present study indicate that there is a positive and significant statistical correlation between moral courage and moral sensitivity. It seems that promoting nurses’ awareness of moral principles and increasing their moral sensitivity lead to the development of courageous moral behaviors in nurses.

Abstract
Penetrative injury is one of the injuries which the legislator has mentioned in the fourth book of the Punishment Code: ''it's an injury which occurs by sinking of a tool like spear or bullet in hand or leg; the blood money for men is one tenth of a complete blood money and for women there is a “Arsh". Interestingly, the legislator has determined the sanction of this blood money as a complete blood money while in women it is just an Arsh. The foundation of this view is based upon some of the jurisprudents; however, contemplation in jurisprudential references shows that a group of other jurisprudents believe that blood money of penetrative injury is same for men and women. This essay examines the arguments of the two sides by a descriptive-analytic method. Then, it tries to prove the weaknesses of the view believing in an Arsh for women, it shows that the focus of the Islamic law is on the point that the blood money of penetrative injury is equal for men and women (both one tenth).

Abstract
Imamate jurisprudents, consider Damie as a little rupture in the flesh while Motalaheme is a deep one. Hence, the place of the two injuries is the same but the depth of the rupture in Motalaheme makes the difference. This difference has been identified in Clause “b” and “p” of article 709 of the Islamic Punishment law. Furthermore, their historical understanding of the anatomy of this injury led to the concept of rapture in the flesh because they believe in order for the bleeding which is constituent of Damie, rupture in the flesh is necessary. However, contemporary anatomy explains that rupture in the flesh is not necessary for bleeding. Bleeding can occur through derma and hypoderm of the skin. This analysis adds on the hypothesis of the historicity of their definitions of the two injuries. With a descriptive-analytic approach and library study, we prove this hypothesis and make modification of their definitions on Damie and Motalaheme.

Abstract
Patient education is a fundamental component of healthcare that enhances patient outcomes, satisfaction, and self-management. Healthcare professionals have a responsibility to deliver high-quality patient education that is personalized to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each patient. Adhering to ethical principles—ensuring the provision of accurate, unbiased information while respecting patient autonomy and decision-making capacity—is crucial in this process. This study aimed to explore the ethical dimensions of patient education. This study employed a systematic review approach. A comprehensive search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords ethics, patient education, and ethical adherence for the period 2014–2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies that focused on the ethical aspects of patient education and adherence. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Out of 216 identified articles, 20 met the inclusion criteria. Three key categories emerged from the data analysis: (1) Commitment to Care, encompassing client-centered education and patient support with emotional reassurance; (2) Commitment to Education, including structured educational programs and communication skills of healthcare professionals; and (3) Adherence to Ethical Principles, which involved respect for patient autonomy and confidentiality. The study underscores the significance of healthcare professionals' dual commitment to both care and education in delivering effective patient education. Awareness of the ethical dimensions of patient education is essential for ensuring that educational interventions are patient-centered and aligned with ethical standards. Future research should explore the interplay between patient-centered care, autonomy, and healthcare professionals’ communication skills in relation to patient education outcomes.
