Abstract
Background and Aim: Pruritus is usually caused by a primary skin disorder or a systemic disease. Causes of groin pruritus are fungi, eczema, bacterial diseases, neurodermatitis, scabies and many other skin disorders. This study was performed to find the common causes of groin pruritus in female patients that referred to dermatology and gynecology clinics of Yahya-Nejad hospital in Babol.
Methods: This descriptive study was performed on patients with groin pruritus from the begining of winter 2006 until the end of autumn 2007. Other information including name, age, height, weight, previous drug consumption, simultaneous infection in partner or other members of the family, duration of infection, underlying disease and result of examination were recorded in a questionnaire for each patient.
Results: 115 patients were studied. The average age of patients was 41.2 years (15-75 years old). The highest disease frequency was seen in 48 cases (41.7%) in summer. Most cases (33 patients [28.7%]) were between 46-55 years of age. Most of patients (28.7%) had a BMI from 25 to 29.9 (over weigh). The most common causes of groin pruritus in all seasons, ages and BMIs were tinea cruris in 55 cases (47.8%) and seborrheic dermatitis in 29 cases (25.1%).
Conclusion: Considering common causes of groin pruritus, season and patient's weight can be helpful in diagnosis and early treatment of groin pruritus.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Body image is one of the main factors of self efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body image and self-efficacy among female students in Hamadan University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 408 female students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2017 with a stratified sampling method. To gather data, we used Multidimensional Body Self-Relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ) and general self-efficacy questionnaire and recorded demographic variables. Data were analyzed with SPSS-21 software using Pearson correlation and linear regression tests.
Results: The dimensions of body areas satisfaction and illness orientation were evaluated at relatively desirable and moderate levels, respectively. Students' self-efficacy was also estimated at 60.05% of the mean score of the maximum achievable score at the moderate level. The results of regression analysis showed that the dimensions of the illness orientation, overweight preoccupation, fitness orientation, self-classified weight and appearance evaluation predicted the self-efficacy among the female students. In total, different dimensions of body image explained 14.1% of the variance of self-efficacy.
Conclusion: We suggest providing training packages about body image dimensions improvement to enhance the self-efficacy of university female students.

Abstract
Cancer is a genetic condition. Some cancers are inherited, but most are caused by mutations in somatic cells. The cause of these mutations is inherent error in the transcription of DNA or exposure to carcinogens. Malignant melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer which develops from pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. The most potent risk factors for melanoma is the presence of multiple benign moles or abnormal spots, and family history of melanoma. Metastasis is a complex multi-stage process that results in development of secondary malignant growths and the spread of cancer cells to other areas of the body leading to patient’s death. Melanoma metastases are mainly to the lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and central nervous system. The aim of this article is to review the mechanisms of development and metastasis of melanoma by searching database such as SID, Google Scholar, American Electronic Library,Springer and PubMed.
