Abstract
Fungal infection of the nail, also known as onychomycosis, is a worldwide problem. It is estimated that onychomycosis constitutes 15-22 percent of all nail disorders. It is also known that 2-5 percent of the adult population in Europe have onychomycosis. This problem is quite common in the dermatology clinic of the countries in the Midle East, India and the Far East. The infection rates and types of fungi involved in onychomycosis vary with conditions such as age, sex, occupation, hygiene, foot wear and several environmental and climatic factors.
Methods and Materials: A retrospective study of nail infection was carried out in the section of Medical Mycology, Pasteur Institute of Iran from April 1993 to March 1999. Nineteen hundreds eighty five cases examined for toe and finger nail infections.
Results: Ranging in age were from 3 months to 84 years old. This study reports the causative agents of onychomycosis in the presented patients in the section of Medical Mycology, Pasteur Institute of Iran. The 1985 patients were examined for onychomycosis. Diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of fungi in direct (K.OH 20 percent) and cultural examination. Onychomycosis were proven in 601 patients. Three hundreds fifty patients were females (59 percent). The fingernails were more commonly positive in females (73.5 percent) than males, while the toenail positivity rate in males was 69 percent. Among 601 isolated species, dermatophytes were 308 cases (51 percent) mainly from toenail were predominant. Candida SPP. Were isolated in 46 percent of the cases, especially from fingernails. Nondermatophytic molds were isolated only in 3 percent of the patients (18 cases). Most common isolated dermatophytes were Trichophyton rubrum (66.5 percent) and T. Mentagrophytes (24.6 percent). Other isolated dermatophytes were: violaceum, T. schoenleinii and Microsporum gypseum. Candida albicans were isolated in 40.9 percent of the yeast onychomycosis. Non- dermatophytyic molds were Aspergillos, Acromonium. Fusarium and Chrysosporium.
Conclusion: Onychomycosis represent 30 percent of all mycotic infections of the skin. Their promoting factors, clinical aspects and differential diagnosis have been reviewed. It is necessary to confirm the clinical diagnosis of onychomycosis by laboratory tests (direct microscopy and cultures).

Background: Cancer prevention besides detection and
treatment has a very important role in control of cancer disease. Since some
chemical compounds that are used in laboratories, especially in pathology laboratory are potentially mutagens, lab assistances
that are working with chemicals such as Benzene, Xylazine and Formaldehyde for
long period of time may be exposed to overload of these carcinogens. Therefore,
it is necessary to use an indicator for detecting these occupational exposures.
Ames test
has been recommended in biomonitoring of environment that has high risk
carcinogenicity characteristic.
Methods: A total of fifty seven urine samples of
forensic medicine laboratory personnel's were extracted by C18 column and then tested by TA100 and TA98 standard strains of Ames assay. Each sample was analyzed
with and without activator to detect mutagen and promutagen materials.
Results: Levels of mutagenicity were found by TA98 strain without activator in one case as well as with
activator in two cases of urine samples of pathology laboratory personnel's.
These cases were working in laboratory
for long time in all of the workdays.
Conclusion: Personnel's working in pathology laboratories may
have greater risk of cancer and should be take care from these occupational
exposures.

Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone in the world, and has hit about 200 million people around the world and it increases the risk of fractures. More than 5 million osteoporotic fractures occur annually in the world. Bone mineral density is the standard method of diagnosis of this disease. In this method, proximal of femur (neck) and lumbar vertebra bones (L2, L3, L4, L5) are typically evaluated. The aim of this study was determine the bone density profile of one third of distal radial bone in patients with primary osteoporosis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at Shahid Beheshi hospital in Hamadan city, from October 2015 to October 2016. Among of the patients, those over the age of 50 years old, 71 patients were selected by convenience sampling method taking into account if they have inclusion criteria (such as: age> 50 years, no systemic diseases, no history of corticosteroid use). For all patients that enter the study, lumbar, femoral neck and one third of distal radial bone densitometry was done by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method. Osteopenia and normal bone density the World Health Organization criteria were used to determine osteoporosis.
Results: In this research 71 people entered the study. The mean age of the patients was 62.25±9.36 (51-92) years. In term of gender 5.63% of patients were male and 94.37% female. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive and significant correlation between the results of one third of distal radius with neck and total femur bone and lumbar bones (P<0.05). Correlation between the T-score of one third of distal radius and total femoral neck was statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean age of patients was 62.25±9.36 years.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study one third of distal radial bone mineral density has an acceptable sensitivity to detect osteoporosis. Radius bone density decreases much faster than lumbar, vertebra and femoral neck.

Abstract
Background: Cervical pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy (EP) in which the pregnancy implants in the lining of the endocervical canal. It accounts for less than 1 percent of ectopic pregnancies. The cause is unknown; local pathology related to previous cervical or uterine surgery may play a role given an apparent association with a prior history of curettage or cesarean delivery. The most common symptom of cervical pregnancy is vaginal bleeding, which is often profuse and painless. Lower abdominal pain or cramps occur in less than one-third of patients; pain without bleeding is rare. It is important to think about the possibility of cervical pregnancy in such patients since early diagnosis is critical to avoidance of complications and successful treatment. Management of this pregnancy is dependent on the hemodynamic status of the patient. Conservative management and some more aggressive therapy such as emergency hysterectomy can be used. The aim of this report was to introduce a case of successful conservative management of cervical pregnancy.
Case presentation: A 30-year-old G2L1 woman with history of a previous cesarean section and possible diagnosis of missed abortion referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 21 May 2017. Cervical pregnancy was diagnosed during curettage. Severe hemorrhage occurred after curettage and the hemodynamic status of the patient was unstable immediately after curettage. Severe threatening vaginal bleeding was controlled with intrauterine Foley catheter containing 60 cc normal saline and then vaginal packing. The patient was discharged with good general condition.
Conclusion: In cervical pregnancy and unstable hemodynamic status and desire to preserve fertility, intrauterine Foley catheter and vaginal packing after curettage is helpful.

Abstract
Background: Renal calculus with increasing prevalence and incidence in recent decades have the highest burden of urologic diseases. While preventive measures could significantly reduce the rate of recurrence, the amount of compliance with the preventive guidelines is unclear among urologists. This study was designated to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice in kidney stones prevention among urologists for the first time in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the participants of the 20th Iranian Urological Association Congress. The questionnaires included questions regarding demographics, educational and occupational information, knowledge, attitude, and practice of urologists in the field of kidney stones prevention. The questionnaires were designed according to the latest guideline of the European Association of Urology and previous studies. Scores related to the knowledge and practice were calculated based on the number of questions with correct answers. The response rate was also calculated. The correlation of knowledge and practice with background variables, including age, work experience, and time since graduation were assessed.
Results: The total response rate was 18.08% (64 out of 354 distributed questionnaires). The mean age of the respondents was 47.25±10.20 and the mean work experience was 15.61±11.70 years. The mean knowledge and practice scores were 8.36±1.48 out of 11 and 4.44±1.45 out of 7 scores, respectively. A total of 96.2% and 73.4% of the urologists earned at least half of the knowledge and practice scores, respectively. There was no significant correlation between knowledge and practice scores (P=0.706). Work experience and time since graduation had a negative relationship with the knowledge scores (respectively, P=0.02 and P=0.026), and faculty membership had a positive correlation with the practice scores (P=0.022). Most respondents had an acceptable attitude regarding the effectiveness of stone prevention.
Conclusion: Although the study participants had good knowledge, attitude, and practice pattern regarding urinary stone prevention, their performance score was less than their level of awareness. However, we could not generalize the results to other urologists due to the low response rate of the study.
