Abstract
Background and Aim: The goal of this study is to determine the effects of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program (CCRP) on various domains of health related quality of life (HRQOL) in coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) patients.
Materials & Methods: Forty- four post CABG patients aged 40 - 60 years (mean age = 52.95, SD = 6.02) participated in Phase II CCRP. The SF-36 health survey was used to assess the HRQOL before and after the CCRP and at three-month follow up. The data of patients were compared before and after the intervention and with the normal values of age matched (45-64 Yrs., 882 persons).
Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference in seven domains of HRQOL between patients prior to CCRP and general population (P ≤ 0.05). There was a significant difference in all HRQOL domains after CCRP (P ≤ 0.005). Five out of 8 domains of HRQOL were unchanged at least 3 months after the CCRP, whereas there was an improvement in 3 domains of HRQOL (P ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the physical and mental health interventions in CCRP are among critical keys to prevent and/or at least decrease the adverse effects of surgery on HRQOL.

Abstract
Background and aim: One of the most important part of management and modification of CAD risk factor is to control the level of plasma lipid profile. Application of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation in patient with CAD could decrease the level of CHL, TG, LDL and increasing of HDL .There are a lot of studies that discuss the effect of rehabilitation on different people with different races and life style
Material and Methods: Thirty six patients with the age (40-75) who were referred by cardiologist participated in this study. Fast walking on treadmill, biking on stationary bicycle and cycling with upper body ergometer were chosen as aerobic exercises. For assessing the short term and long term effects of this protocol, blood sampling were taken at three stages before exercise initiation, after 12 and 24 sessions of exercise.
Results: Following the cardiac rehabilitation protocol, the level of CHL, LDL and the ratio of LDL/HDL and CHL/HDL decreased significantly.
Conclusion: Cardiac rehabilitation could be used as means to improve lipid profile level in blood serum, prevention of cardiovascular disease and reducing mortality and morbidity rates.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Providing rehabilitation care of deglutition disorders or dysphagia is a challenging issue for speech and language pathologists. Comprehensive assessment of dysphagia includes early screening, clinical tests and finally instrumental tests to be assured. In spite of the importance and the advantages of clinical tests; accurate diagnosis and decision in dysphagia management largely depend on instrumental ones. These tests provide dynamic assessment and information about structures and physiology of normal and affected swallow for clinician. The aim of this review article was to find instrumental tests of swallowing with their application, limitation and advantages.
Materials and Methods: An electronic search was done via the PubMed, Google scholar, Science direct, Medline, Scopus, Iranian web of knowledge data bases and web of knowledge data bases from 1956 to 2012. Based on the used keywords, 150 papers were found of which 90 papers were selected in accordance with the selection criteria.
Results: Fourteen related instrumental tests were found. Only one of the tests is usable for screening and others for diagnosis and treatment of dysphagia. Three tests are used only in adults and others in children too.
Conclusion: The literature review showed that among the instrumental tests, (Video fluoroscopy swallowing study; VFSS), (Fiberoptic Endoscopic evaluation of swallowing; FEES) are golden standards for dysphagia assessment and treatment. Therefore, they are widely accepted among clinicians and researches in despite of their limitations, our study offers the possibility to professionals for selecting the appropriate instrumental test in dysphagia.
Keywords: Assessment, Dysphagia, Screening, Instrumental tests.
