Abstract
Background and Objective: Labor pain is a severe pain and the most well-known one. When the pain is not relieved, it leads to some adverse effects such as the increase of cardiac output, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen consumption, and catecholamine levels. All of them can have a harmful effect on both mother and infant. Pain during labor is accompanied by fear, which makes slow the progress of labor. In many countries, because the side effects of the drugs can cause adverse effects on women and their infants, analgesic medications may not be given. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Entonox on labor pain and outcome of delivery in primiparous women in Iranshahr, Iran (2009).
Material and Methods: In this study , in order to determine the effect of Entonox on labor pain and outcome of delivery, 100 primiparous women were randomly assigned to two equivalent groups (n = 50): case and control group . Data were collected by a questionnaire. Labor pain was measured seven times by using a (visual-analogue scale). The length of delivery time was calculated in two stages: from four centimeter cervical dilatation to full cervical dilatation, and from full cervical dilatation to the delivery.
Results: There is a significant difference between the severity of the pain in two groups (P<0.05), But there is no significant difference between the duration of the active phase and the second phase of the labor. There is no significant difference between the first and fifth minute Apgar Scoring between two groups (P<0.05). No atony is observed in the subjects. Sixty-six percent of case group and 42% of control group express that they have satisfaction from their delivery.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that Entonox can be effective intervention to decrease pain during labour.

Abstract
Background and Objective : Patients’ satisfaction is an important criterion which can be a good scale to measure and evaluate medical services quality, and can give us some information about fulfillment of patients’ needs expectations and wishes .We conducted this study to investigate the patients’ satisfaction from medical and nursing services.
Material and Methods: In this descriptive and cross- sectional study, the data was collected by a questionnaire including two sections of demographic data and satisfaction level from medical and Nursing services.The subjects are 200 patients selected by easy sampling method, at the time of discharge from hospital. Satisfaction level was measured by likert scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square.
Results: The findings show that the patients are satisfied (41%), almost satisfied (21.5%) and unsatisfied (37.5%) from medical services. About satisfaction from nursing services, 57% of the patients were satisfied, 16.5% of them almost and 26.5% rarely satisfied. There was significant relation between variables such as sex, age, education degree and having insurance and satisfaction from medical and nursing services.
Conclusion : The highest percentage of unsatisfied patients was related to lack of giving information by physicians about the disease and Nursing interventions measures. Interaction behavior between medical staff and patient has an effective impact on patients’ recovery and increase patients’ satisfaction therefore, the necessary measures should be taken to improve communication between patient and physician.

Abstract
Background and objective : Low blood pressure and Muscle cramps are common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the combination of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of of sodium and ultrafiltration profile on some of the common complications during Hemodialysis.
Material and Methods: In this crossover clinical trial study, 22 Hemodialysis patients referred to Panje-Azar Hospital in 2012 were divided randomly into two groups. For each group, two treatment protocols were conducted, six hemodialysis sessions. The intervention protocol was a linear sodium dialysate and linear ultrafiltration. In routine Protocol, both sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were considered constant. Using chi-square test and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The mean age is 54.73 ± 11.21 year and 59.1% of them are females. The incidence of hypotension and muscle cramps in the experimental protocol procedure is significantly decreased compared with that of control group (P<0.05), but the incidence of headache and vomiting is not significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Because sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free and reduces the incidence of complications during dialysis, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine one.

Abstract
Background and objective: Hypotension and Muscle cramp are the common complications of Hemodialysis. One approach that has recently been proposed to prevent this complication is the change in the concentration of sodium and ultrafiltration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sodium dialysate variation and ultrafiltration in preventing hypotension and muscle cramp during hemodialysis process.
Material and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 44 Hemodialysis patients were divided randomly into four groups. For each group, four treatment protocols (six-session Hemodialysis) were conducted. Protocol A: Sodium dialysate and ultrafiltration were constant. Protocol II: sodium was linear and ultrafiltration was constant. Protocol III: Sodium and ultrafiltration were linear. Protocol IV (routine): Sodium and ultrafiltration were constant. Using Chi-Square and relative risk, the data was analyzed (P<0.05).
Results: The incidence of hypotension, at the end of the fourth hour of dialysis in Protocol 3, was significantly decreased compared to that of routine method (P<0.05), while at the end of first, second and third hour, this difference was not significant. Muscle cramp in the routine method was more than other protocols (P=0.034). The relative risk of muscle cramp in the routine method was 2.08 times of protocol I, 1.09 of Protocol II, 2.08 of protocol III.
Conclusion: Sodium and ultrafiltration profile is simple and cost-free, and it reduces the incidence of hypotension and muscle cramp during dialysis. Thus, we recommend using sodium and UF profile instead of routine protocol to reduce these effects.

Abstract
Background and objective: Cardiovascular disease is the leading problem of the elders. It is progressive disorder that is initiated in childhood and its clinical demonstration is revealed after middle-aged period. This study aimed to determine the relationship between coronary artery disease- related risk-factors and aging.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on all 772 elders referring to Kosar Angiography Center in Golestan province, 2008-2009. The subjects were divided into coronary disorder group and normal group. The risk factors including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, smoking and drug addiction were assessed. The data was analyzed by SPSS-16, using Mann-Whitney and T-test.
Results: Most of the subjects were between 65 to 75 years. Of the three main vessels, the most involved one was circumflex (31.5%). The factors such as gender and systolic hypertension were significantly different in two groups. Furthermore, the Risk ratio in the patients with systolic hypertension (1.13 times) and the ones with diastolic hypertension (1.11 times) was more than normal group.
Conclusion: Gender and systolic hypertension in the elders with CAD are the main and predisposing factors. Therefore, if we control hypertension, it may be possible to prevent from the CAD progress.
