Abstract
This study has been conducted on the path reports of diagnostic curettage carried out in Mirza koochek-khan hospital during the 6 months of the year 1989 (April to September). The reports examined have been further classified into incompelete abortion, diagnostic currettage and others. A total number of 645 women have had D&C according to the above criteria. In this period of time, incomplete abortion had the highest rate (34% of all D&C's), of which 62.5% were under 20 years of age and 22.6% were primigravida. The ratio of total abortion to the number of deliveries was 9.8% and post-delivery retention of placenta constituted 4.8% of all D&C's, with the highest rate amongst the age group of 15-19 years old, who mostly had home deliveries. The incidence of hydatidiform mole was 3.07 per 1000 deliveries, out of this number, the highest rate (50%) belonged to the age group of 20-24 years old. The above incidence is 6.4 times more than the U.S. incidence and 0.9 times less than the incidence reported in other Asian countries (6, 8, 10). Knowing the complication of unplanned abortion such as perforation of the uterus, infection, hemorrhage, adhesions (synechiae) and secondary sterility, special attention should be paid to the diagnosis of high-risk pregnancies in prenatal clinics.

Abstract

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Background: Although the short-term results of kidney transplantation have improved greatly during the past decades, the long-term results have not improved according. Graft loss due to chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) is a major concern in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). There is little data about disease progression in this patient population. In this paper, we investigated history of kidney function as the pattern, waiting time and rate of pass from intermediate stages in RTR with CAD.

Methods: In a single-center retrospective study, 214 RTRs with CAD investigated at the Urmia University Hospital urmia, Iran from 1997 to 2005. Kidney function at each visit assessed with GFR. We apply NKF and K/DOQI classification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging system to determine pattern of disease progression per stage in this group of patients.
Results: The pure death-censored graft loss was 26% with mean waiting time 81.7 months. 100% of RTRs passed from stage I to II in mean waiting time 26.3 months. The probability of prognostic factors transition from stage II to III was 88.9% with mean waiting time 25.5 months, transition from III to IV was 55.7% with mean waiting time of 24.9 months and transition for stage 4 to IV was 53.5% with mean waiting time of 18.2 months. In overall rate of transition from stage i to j in patients with stage III at the beginning of the study (time of start CAD's process) was faster than others.
Conclusions: This study revealed, that kidney function in first years after transplantation is one of the most important II to III of survival probability per stage and death-censored graft loss. Therefore care of RTRs in first year could potentially increase long-term kidney survival.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies and is considered as one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite considerable progress in the disease's control and treatment, the patients' survival rate is relatively low. Different factors can affect the survival rate of GC patients. The current study aims to evaluate the association of demographic and pathological characteristics with the survival rate of GC patients.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on Fifty-six patients with gastric cancer from October 2015 to October 2016, who were referred to the gastroenterology clinic of Imam Khomeini and Rasoul Akram Hospitals in Tehran province and followed up for five consecutive years. The survival rate of the patients was measured using Kaplan-Meier method. Moreover, the Log-rank test and the COX regression model were used to determine the association of the survival rate with the demographic and pathological characteristics, including gender, age, tumor location, tumor type, tumor differentiation, metastasis, tumor staging, and Helicobacter pylori status. Data analysis was performed via SPSS version 22, and a P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. 
Results: A total of 56 patients were studied; 73% were men, and 27% were women. Our results showed that gastric cancer is more common in males and older people. Patients' one-year, three-year, and five-year survival rates were 67%, 35%, and 26%, respectively. Also, the survival rate of participants over 60 and in advanced stages of GC was lower than others. The Log-rank test showed that age, tumor type, tumor differentiation, metastasis, and tumor staging could affect the survival rate. However, in the COX regression model, age, metastasis, and tumor staging influenced the survival rate of patients.
Conclusion: The results indicated that the survival rate of gastric cancer patients was relatively low, and the early diagnosis of GC could be a substantial factor in increasing the patients' survival rate. Therefore, an appropriate screening program is necessary to increase the survival rate of GC patients.
