Abstract
Observing patients’ rights in health care services plays an important role in improving and adjusting the doctor-patient relationship and is therefore of great significance in health systems management. Considering the role it plays as an important philosophical part of modern ethics in ethical and social functions, empathy has received much attention in various areas of research such as psychology, behavioral studies, neurosciences and psychiatry. The present study will first offer an overview of the history of empathy and its positive effects on the interactions between doctors and patients, and then move on to propose strategies to promote empathy in doctor-patient relationships. Empathy plays a significant role in patient empowerment and satisfaction, and therefore studying its effects on teaching medical ethics as a factor that can positively influence the doctor-patient relationship can provide all, including organizations such as the Ministry of Health and psychology and counseling centers, with valuable guidelines to promote mental health, from prevention to treatment.

Abstract
In the past decades, the need for organ donation has increased while consent rate continues to remain inadequate. One of the most important limiting factors in organ donation is families’ refusal to grant consent, and therefore it is important to determine the circumstances influencing the phenomenon. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting consent to organ donation in families of brain death patients in hospitals affiliated with Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. For this purpose, a self-made questionnaire was distributed among 54 family members of brain death patients admitted in hospitals affiliated with Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences between 2003 and 2013. The data were reported as mean, frequency and percentage using the SPSS16 software. The average age of the deceased was 31.38 ± 13.72 years, and car accidents were the most frequent cause of brain death (59.3%) in this study. In addition, 72.2% of the deceased were male and 90.7% of them lived in or around the city of Shahrekord. About 37% of the families consented to organ donation. The average age of the family members who participated in the study was 42.15 ± 8.9 years. The most frequent reasons affecting families’ consent to organ donation were religious rewards (100%), confidence in the medical team and staff (100%), and confidence in physician diagnosis (100%).The findings of the study show that religion, faith and family ties affect the willingness for organ donation, and therefore specific attention should be given to these factors in educational programs. In the present study, religious beliefs and confidence in the performance of health care workers were highlighted as the most effective factors in consent to organ donation in brain dead patients' families. Consequently, in order to increase organ donation rate, special attention to these factors and proper planning is necessary.

Abstract
A 62-year-old man referred to the emergency department 48 hours ago with chief complaint of repeated bloody vomiting. The patient is admitted and the necessary measures are taken. Within 24 hours, he received 6 units of blood. The patient has undergone endoscopy, but endoscopic endorsement has failed to stop the bleeding. The surgeon consulted and visited the patient. He considered urgent emergency laparotomy. The patient is alert and refuses surgery. The hemodynamic status of the patient is not stable and gastrointestinal bleeding continues. These questions are posed to medical staff and hospital managers: "What is our duty”? "Should we respect the choice of the patient and witness the progress of the disease and deterioration of the patient's condition"? "Can he be discharged from the hospital on the basis of the patient's refusal to take medical treatment"? "Can we take appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures with the use of legal capacity and support despite patient’s opposition? "How can one regard autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence at the same time, in this situation "? In this study, which is one of the problems of medical ethics, the ethical, legal, and health aspects of the presented patient are discussed.

Abstract
Historical reports indicate that concepts such as health, well-being, personal and social development are closely related to physical activity, and the civilized nations of the world have always considered the importance of physical activity in the field of health and wellness. Among the ancient nations, the Greeks were most interested in exercise and physical activity, as it was an important part of ancient Greek medicine, and ancient Greek physicians, especially Hippocrates and Galen, focused on physical activity and proper diet as important components of a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, much of the basic information about the relationship between exercise and health was presented in the findings and medical texts of ancient Greece, which was comprehensively and practically proposed by Galen in the form of the theory of nature and the unnatural. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method based on library information to answer the question of when humans with scientific and principled method found that exercise and physical activity have played a role in body health and the result of ancient Greek medicine, especially theory. Galen on the relationship between exercise and health in the form of abnormalities in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, then the Renaissance to the present day, can play an important and effective role of exercise and physical activity in maintaining body health and disease prevention in different eras of human life.
