Abstract
Background and Objective: Transtheoretical model (TTM) is one of the models applied to assess the regular physical activity. The aim of the current study was to investigate the regular physical activity based on transtheoretical model constructs among Golestan University of Medical Sciences’ students.
Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 295 students were recruited through convenience sampling. The instruments were Marcos et al. Stages of change and Nigg et al. Decisional balance questionnaires. Their validity was approved by content and face validity andtheir reliability by test re test method. Data analysis was conducted by Chi-square ,Logestic regression, and ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc tests.
Results: The mean age of the participants is 21.89±3.05.Eighty nine point five percent are unmarried and 67.5% females .The results show that they are in precontemplation (60.3%) contemplation(8.8%), preparation(11.9%), action(9.5%) and maintanenec (9.5%)stages. There is a significant relationship between stage of change with cons and pros of physicalactivity(p<0.05) .Male gender, Bsc and lower educational levels along with cons are the best predictors of regular physical activity(p<0.05).
Conclusion: Since the majority of the students(81%) have a sedentary life, It is a necessity to conduct some planned interventions for their progress on maintenance stage. Increasing of pros and decreasing of cons could be useful.

Abstract
Background and Objective:One of the most common complications of IUD users is dysmenorrhea, which is not the same in different IUDs. The aim of this study was to compare the dysmenorrhea in IUD multi-load 375 and IUD copper T 380 A.
Material and Methods: A randomized double- blinded controlled clinical trial was conducted on 48 women referring to a health-center in Tabriz, from 2011jan-2012 oct.The participants were randomly allocated to two groups of multi-load 375 IUD and the copper T 380A IUD ( located in a four-member and six-member block).We measured the amount of dysmenorrhea with Visual Analog Scale , before the IUD insertion and four mouths later. The data was analyzed by SPSS-13, using Mann-Whitney, Regression, Fridmans test.
Results: The results showed that the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea in two groups of IUD were significantly different, considering the factors such as the baseline dismenorrhea, the utilized drug and the interval between the last labor and IUD insertion.The dysmenorrhea in multi-load group was decreased and in copper T increased significantly.
Conclusion: Based on the results , multi-load IUD results in considerable reduction in the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is reccomended counseling about both multi-load IUD and Copper T in the family planning service centers.

Abstract
Background: Food intake and metabolism might play central roles in causing and treating menstrual disorders. Vitamin D may lead to the improvement of folliculogenesis through anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). This study aimed to compare the effect of vitamin D intake with that of the combined oral contraceptive (COC) capsules on ovulatory dysfunction.
Methods: This study was conducted on 60 eligible women referred to Kowsar Qazvin Hospital with a complaint of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). They had a history of excessive, long, and irregular bleeding. The participants in the control and intervention groups received 1 oral LD capsule and a combination of vitamin D and LD capsules on a daily basis for 3 months, respectively. The menstrual bleeding volume, the number of menstrual days, and the menstrual cycle length were evaluated before, during, and after the intervention. The Mann-Whitney U test, Friedman test, independent t test, and Cochran Q test were used in SPSS version 24 for data analysis. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: The menstrual bleeding intensity decreased significantly in the intervention group (vitamin D–LD capsule; P = 0.001). Over time, both intervention and control groups showed a significant improvement in the number of menstrual days and menstrual cycle length, resulting in a more normal menstrual cycle. However, these 2 parameters remained more natural in the intervention group, a finding which did not indicate any significant differences.
Conclusion: Vitamin D can be used along with LD capsules as a supplementary treatment to lessen menstrual bleeding intensity.

Abstract
Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most significant reproductive and endocrine disorders in women. This study aims to assess the impact of nettle extract on both clinical and paraclinical symptoms in women with PCOS.
Methods: This Triple-Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial involved 60 women (n = 30 per group) aged 18 to 45, all diagnosed with PCOS based on definitive diagnostic criteria in Tabriz, Iran. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio using block sizes of 4 and 6 into two groups: an intervention group (receiving 500 mg of oral nettle extract containing flavonoids, tannins, and sterols daily for three months) and a control group (receiving combined oral contraceptives [COCs] for three months). Independent t-test and ANCOVA test were used in SPSS version 24 for data analysis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The study showed that after the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the nettle extract group and the control group regarding mean levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (P=0.197), total testosterone (P=0.24), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (P=0.549), luteinizing hormone (LH) (P=0.398), hirsutism score (P=0.149), or duration of menstrual bleeding (P=0.982), based on ANCOVA adjusted for baseline values, education level, and number of pregnancies. However, the two groups exhibited statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels (P=0.020), intervals between menstrual bleeding (days) (P=0.031), and menstrual bleeding intensity (P = 0.008).
Conclusion: The findings indicate that nettle extract is as effective as low-dose oral contraceptive pills in reducing levels of dehydroepiandrosterone, total testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), as well as in decreasing hirsutism scores and the duration of menstrual bleeding. Midwives can use nettle extract, which is a cheap, easy, and non-invasive method to improve PCO symptoms.
