Abstract
Background and Aim: Cardiovascular disease is the first and for most factor for mortality in adults and hypercholesterolemia (HC) is a susceptible agent for them. The main objective of this study is to determine the of prevalence of HC and some risk factors related to it in adults in Golestan province in 2006.
Materials and Methods: This is a Crossectional-Descriptive study based on population and 1995 cases (997 men and 998 woman) between 25- 65 years old, were chosen by cluster and stratify sampling in Golestan adult population. We interviewed all the cases and determined anthropometric and biochemical indexes. Data was analyzed by SPSS.14 software. HC was defined as serum cholesterol levels over 200 mg/dl.
Results: Mean age was 39.2 year and mean ±SD of serum cholesterol in men and women was 196.7±39.11 and 209.4± 42.9 respectively. Prevalence of HC showed significant deference between men (44.7%) and women (57%) (P<0.05). There is a significant difference between age groups, region, physical activity and BMI in the mean value of serum cholesterol (P<0.01) but regarding economic status it is not significant. Prevalence of HC in abdominal obese and healthy group is 63.2% and 41% respectively and statistical difference is significant (P<0.05). The people of Golestan province consume fruits , vegetables and fish 4.84, 3.65 and 2 days in a week respectively and vegetable and fish are consumed more in HC group than in non- HC group. The consumption of hydrogenated oil, liquid oil and other type of oils is 85.4% ,14% and 0.7% respectively, and in HC people the intake of liquid oil is slightly higher than others, but statistical differences is not significant.
Conclusions: HC is one of the most health problems in Golestan province and women suffer from it more then men. Life style and food behavior are two risk factors for it. Thereby correction of food and social behavior can decline incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive disease of the central nervous system, of which the symptoms and problems reduce the quality of life. Recent research has identified sport exercises as an important part of healthy lifestyle in reducing the symptoms of the disease and improving the quality of life; however, the most effective type of exercise is not yet clearly known. The aim of this study was to provide information about the beneficial effects of exercise in MS patients and guidelines for prescribing exercise programs for them.
Materials and Methods: This article is an overview of the ways different sport exercises affect MS. To access scientific articles, databases of PubMed, SID, Google Scholar, and Mag Iran, and the keywords including multiple sclerosis (MS), aerobic training, resistance training, and combined training were used.
Results: Recent reports show that different types of sport exercises lead to a significant increase in the improvement of MS symptoms, although there are many discrepancies between researchers in prescribing different exercise programs (various training protocol, duration, and intensity). However, according to the results of studies, regular moderate-intensity exercise training leads to the functional benefits and improvement and control of the disease process without exacerbation of inflammation through various physiological mechanisms. thus, contrary to popular belief, modulated exercise training can have beneficial effects on MS patient.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, regular exercises (aerobic, resistance and combination) with moderate intensity improve the symptoms of MS and increase the quality of life.

Abstract
Background and Aim: this study aims investigating the effect of the physician's presence on the error of recording surgical codes by surgical assistants and the resulting financial effects in Rasoul Akram hospital.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical and prospective study that was performed by collecting data in the hospital and reviewing the documents from Jun to March 2022. Therefore, in order to compare the deductions according to the presence or absence of the doctor, an expert was stationed in the operating room to enter the information in special forms, and thus the types of deductions for each of the mentioned situations were identified. T-test was used for analysis between the two groups (presence and absence of physician) and data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS software.
Results: Three hundred and one records were reviewed during the presence of the physician and 300 cases during the absence of the physician based on Cochran sampling formula. The percent difference between hidden deductions in the presence and absence of the physician was not significant (P-value=0.078). However, the difference between the obvious deductions in the presence and absence of the physicians was significant (P-value=0.024). The difference in obvious deduction costs was significant in the presence or absence of a physician (P-value<0.001). But, the difference in hidden fraction costs in the presence or absence of physicians, was not significant (P-value=0.435).
Conclusion: The presence or absence of a surgeon has an effect on the amount of errors in the registration of surgical codes by the surgeon’s assistant and, as a result, this matter affects the percentage and costs of surgical deductions, especially in the obvious deductions. Therefore, planning for the presence of the surgeon in cases where the error of registering the codes by the surgeon’s assistant leads to obvious deductions, can help to more accurate documentation and, as a result, fewer deductions are accrued.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Evaluation of hospital environments with reliable and valid tools is considered to be one of the essential prerequisites for continuous improvement of the hospital learning environment. The present study aimed to translate and evaluate psychometric properties of the short version of the PHEEM questionnaire among the residents of Tehran University of Medical Sciences residents.
Materials and Methods: This was a psychometric evaluation study. After translation and back translation, the questionnaire was provided to 18 experts. The content validity was qualitatively checked using the coefficients of content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI), and face validity. Then, the revised questionnaire was distributed among 20 residents. Face validity was evaluated by qualitative method and cognitive interview to check the questionnaire items in terms of difficulty level, appropriateness, and ambiguity. The test-retest method checked initial reliability by redistributing the questionnaire to the same residents with an interval of two weeks. In order to determine construct validity, the modified questionnaire was distributed among 548 medical residents from 24 specialized fields. The sample was selected using the convenience sampling method. Then the data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha.
Results: The questionnaire’s content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were 0.93 and 0.88, respectively. Based on the results of face validity, some minor changes were made to the vocabulary of most items, and item 12 was wholly changed. The ICC coefficient was more than 0.90 in all dimensions. In the exploratory factor analysis using the principal component method (PCA), the Kaiser-Meyer-Elkin value was 0.83. Bartlett’s test of sphericity was statistically significant (P<0.001), which confirms the functionality of the correlation matrix. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.83, which indicates the internal consistency of the questionnaire items.
Conclusions: According to the results, the PHEEM short-version questionnaire has good reliability and validity (face, content, and structure) among medical residents. Therefore, this measure can be used to evaluate residents’ perceptions regarding the quality of the educational environment of hospitals.
