Clinical aspects included: nasal, ear, frontal, and throat pruritis oral and nasal discharge, caugh, headache, vertigo and mucoid sputum. One day after beginning of this signs and symptoms, some small white worms in 4-6 mm size, discharge from nose and mouth of patients.

Abstract
Seventy-one patients with achalasia were studied. They were 2-29 years old. Dysphagia to solid food was the main presenting symptom (100 percent). Reliable and persistent manometric findings were absence of normal contraction waves in association with the presence of low amplitudes simultaneous waves in all cases. In vigorous achalasia, weight loss (P=0.001), dysphagia (P=0.012) and LES pressures (P=0.01) were significantly different in comparison to classic achalasia. Manometry was done in 18 patients who were treated with pneumatic dilation. LES pressure (P=0.003) and esophageal basal pressures were significantly dropped one month after pneumatic dilation (P=0.01). Normal contraction wave did not appeare in any of treated cases.

Abstract
Background: This prospective phase III study was designed to compare the activity of two combinations chemotherapy drugs in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma
Methods: In a double blinded clinical trial, From Jan. 2002 to Jan. 2005, ninety patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned to 1) Cisplatin and continuous infusion of 5FU and Epirubicin (ECF), and 2) Cisplatin and continuous infusion of 5FU with Docetaxel (TCF). Reduction in tumor mass, overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), and safety were measured outcome.
Results: About 90% of patients had stage III or IV disease and the most common sites of tumor spread were peritoneal surfaces, liver and Paraaortic lymph nodes in either group. The objective clinical response rate (more than 50% decreases in tumor mass) was 38% and 43% in ECF and TCF group respectively. Global quality of life increased (p=0 002) and symptoms of pain and insomnia decreased after chemotherapy. Patients in TCF had more grade one or two skin reactions, neuropathy and diarrhea. Fourteen patients underwent surgery. Complete microscopic (R0) resection had done in two of ECF and six of TCF tumors (p=0.015). Two cases in TCF group showed complete pathologic response. Median TTP was nine months and 10 months in ECF and TCF group respectively. Median OS was 12 months in both groups.
Conclusion: Although there wasn’t statistically significant difference regarded to clinical response or survival between two groups, TCF showed more complete pathologic response.

Abstract
Background: Low back pain is one of the most important causes of disability among people around the world. Although only 2-5% of low back pain disorders resulting from herniation of lumbar intervertebral discs but surgery for lumbar disc herniation is a common procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between some bio-psycho-social variables and treatment outcomes in patients who undergo first time single-level lumbar discectomy.
Methods: This is a prospective observational analytic study comprised 100 patients (age range 18-73 years) underwent single-level lumbar disc surgery. The patients who met our inclusion criteria and were willing to participate in the study were recruited from the neurosurgery ward of Logman and Imam Khomaini hospitals in Tehran, Iran, between October 2015 and March 2016. The patient completed SF-36 quality of life Questionnaires before, one and two months after surgery.

Results: In comparison to standard values, before the surgery patients had significantly lower baseline SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Survey) Questionnaire value in all 8 domains. The role limitations due to physical health had greatest impact on quality of life. At the eight weeks’ follow-up SF-36 scores showed significant improvement in both physical and mental scales. Age had no significant impact on mental scales of weeks’ Questionnaire but in age less than 30 years there was a positive relation between the patient’s age at surgery and physical aspects of quality of life. Although there was no significant difference in physical aspects of SF-36 Questionnaire between males and females but males had a significantly higher mean mental health score than females after surgery. Smokers had lower value of mental scales of SF-36 Questionnaire than in nonsmokers.
Conclusion: The result of this study showed that surgery for lumbar disc herniation had a great impact on both physical and mental scales of SF-36 Questionnaire two months after surgery. Factors such as age, sex, smoking and psychological factors can play the role of predictor for patient’s outcomes after lumbar disc surgery.
