Abstract
Sepsis is one of the most critical medical emergency situations. Treatment with anti microbial drugs should be initiated as soon as samples of blood and other relevant sites have been cultured. Available information about patterns of anti microbial Susceptibility among bacterial isolates from the community, the hospital, and the patient should be taken in to account. It is important, pending culture results, to initiate empirical anti microbial therapy.
Materials and methods: In a descriptive study during 3 years (1377-1379), microbial and anti microbial susceptibility patterns evaluated in Amir alam clinical laboratory on 2000 specimen of blood culture received from 765 hospitalized patients at Amir Alam hospital wards.
Results: 113 specimens from 77 patient (10 percent) were positive for microbial growth. Enterobacter, S. aureus, S.epidermidis, Pneumococci, Ecoli, and Pseudomonas were the most common isolated etiologic agents(80 percent) . The most common organism was Entenobacter in 1377, S.aureus in 1378 and pseudomonas in 1379 There were significant change in patlern of organisms, increase resistance to some important available antibiotics and change in antibiotic susceptibility pattern during three years (disc diffusion method).
Conclusions: According to Results of this study due to change in pattern of organism and their antibiotic susceptibility, dynamic microbiological study provide important data for Ordering empirical and culture oriented treatment of patients with bacteremia, Sepsis, anti microbial Chemotherapy, anti microbial susceptibility empirical anti microbial therapy, microbial pattern.

Abstract
Background: Sexual function in women may be affected by their menstrual cycle. Lack of sexual drive is a deficiency or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. This study aims at determining the changes in sexual desire during the menstrual cycle and those associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and evaluates sexual desire during the menstrual cycle and the associated changes with PMS.
Methods: The sample for this cross-sectional study includes 150 women employed in factories in Tehran. The instruments for data collection were questionnaires and journals of premenstrual experiences.
Results: Analysis of the data showed that the mean age of the subjects was 31 years )standard deviation = 8.46(. The most frequent decrease in sexual desire was during the week prior to the start of menstrual bleeding (27.3%) and the least frequent was from the end of bleeding to one week before the next period of menstrual bleeding (5.3%). In 24.7% of the cases, an increase in sexual desire occurred during the middle of the menstrual cycle and 27.3% during the course of menstrual bleeding. Moreover, 10.7% of the subjects had an increase in sexual desire during the week before bleeding. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between changes in sexual desire and PMS (p<0.001). In addition, a positive correlation was found between changes in sexual desire and breast tenderness, joint and muscle pain.
Conclusions: The sexual desire of women, with or without PMS, changes during the menstrual cycle. The greatest decrease in sexual desire occurs during the first week before menstrual bleeding in women with PMS. Such information can greatly help toward understanding and treatment in sexual therapy for couples.

Abstract
Pleural effusion (PE) is common among ICU and acutely ill patients. Traditionally plain chest radiography (CXR) has been done for pleural effusion evaluation in ICU. However, better results have been reported by ultrasound for the diagnosis of this condition in ICU. In this study, we compared two methods of ultrasound and CXR in PE detection in ICU patients. Also we studied the percentage of thoracentesis by physician after detection of PE by ultrasonography or CXR.
Methods: Portable supine CXR and chest ultrasound were done in Thirty-nine non-surgical patients who were admitted to the Medical and General ICUs of Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran from Oct 2013 to Mar 2014. Ultrasound was done and interpreted by radiologist and CXR by patient' physician. Thoracentesis or CT-scan was used as gold standard for PE diagnosis.
Results: Ultrasound in 29 patients (74.3%) showed PE. In 21 patients thoracentesis was done by patient’s physician and all had PE with mean volume of 447.2(417.6). In 13 of 18 patients without thoracentesis chest CT scan was available. It shows PE in 6 cases (all with positive PE in ultrasonography). CXR in 9 patients (23.1%) was positive for PE and in 30 patients (76.9%) was negative. The ability of chest ultrasound and CXR for diagnosis of PE was significantly different (P= 0.0.1). In 68.9 % of cases that ultrasound was positive, the CXR was negative and only in 34.5% of cases both methods had negative results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 100% (87.1-100), 100% (58.9-100), 100% (87.1-100), 100% (58.9-100) respectively for ultrasonography. For CXR there were 33% (16.6-54.0), 100% (58.9-100), 100% (66.2-100), 28% (12.1-49.4) respectively.
Conclusion: Ultrasonography for diagnosis of pleural effusion in ICU patients has better diagnostic performance than portable CXR
