In this study, the effect of salinomycin and lasalocid on coccidian oocyte shedding was investigated in 6 groups of broilers. The groups 1 and 2 received lasalocid, and the groups 3 and 4 received salinomycin. In addition to the reception of medication, the groups 2 and 4 challenged with suspension containing 4 common Eimeria species when 14 days old. Group 4 as negative control, did not receive any medication and did not challenge with Eimeria, as well. The group 6, as positive control, only challenged with Eimeria mixture. The number of fecal oocytes was counted 7, 14 and 21days after inoculation in all groups. Moreover, the feed consumption, feed conversion rate and body weight increase was cumulatively assayed and compared during the breeding period. The comparison of oocyte shedding amount among the groups receiving oocyte and medication indicated that minimum oocyte shedding was observed in broilers receiving salinomycin and lasalocid and the continuous consumption of these medications led to the reduction of oocyte shedding. Furthermore, maximum body weight increase, minimum feed consumption and minimum feed conversion rate were associated with the salinomycin and lasalocid receiving groups. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between salinomycin and lasalocid medications. Thus, it might be suggested that salinomycin or lasalocid may reduce the oocyte shedding and improve growth indices in broilers infected by the Eimeria species which are widespread in Iran.

Introduction and objective: Pityriasis versicolor is a chronic superficial mycosis that caused by several species of Malassezia specially Malassezia globosa. The prevalence of disease is varying in the world with a rate of 5-50%. Disease is more prevalent in males than females. The aim of the present study was to review the clinical and epidemiological profile of pityriasis versicolor in AHVAZ.Materials and methods: Sellotape method was used for sampling from 500 subjects suspected to pityriasis versicolor. The presence of clusters of yeasts, budding cells, and pseudophyae in methylene blue stained samples confirmed disease.Results: In the present study, 30.6% of subjects were positive for pityriasis versicolor, 62.1% were males, and 37.9% were females. Hypepigmentation lesions were common type of disease followed by hypopigmentation and erythmatous type.Conclusion: In conclusion, 30.6% of studied population was positive for tinea versicolor which is a high prevalence for this disease.

Background and Objectives: Eating disorder is the third most common psychiatric disorder among young people. One of the factors that are involved in the development of eating disorders can be named as experimental avoidance. So this study was to investigate the relationship between experimental avoidance and eating disorders among students of AHVAZ Jundishapour University of Medical Science.Subjects and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 400 students were selected by using cluster random sampling during the academic year 2014-2015 of whom 272 were girls and 128 were boys. Eating disorders (EAT-26), acceptance and action (AAQII) questionnaires were completed by male and female students to investigate the relationship between experimental avoidance and eating disorders. Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS software.Results: This study showed a positive significant relationship between experimental avoidance and eating disorders (P=0.0001, r=0.17). But, individually positive correlation between experimental avoidance and eating disorders was achieved in male and female students (P=0.044, r=0.18 and, P=0.0001, r=0.17 respectively).Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that experimental avoidance of students increased in correlation with increase in eating disorder symptoms. This correlation is more clearly reflected among female students.

Q fever is a widespread zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. In humans, Q fever can manifest as an acute or as a chronic disease. Coxiellosis in domestic animals is usually asymptomatic; however has also been found associated with abortions and stillbirths in sheep and goats. Domestic ruminants are the primary and important reservoirs of Coxiella burnetii, which is exerted in the milk, urine, feces and vaginal mucous of infected animals. Inhalation of bacteria present in the environment is the main route of animal and human infection. The aim of this study is to survey prevalence of Coxiella burnetii and correlation of this organism with host determinants in sheep. Serum samples from 220 ewes were collected randomly in AHVAZ city and were examined by ELISA assay. Seroprevalence of Q fever was 13.18% (95% CI: 8.71-17.65%). Logistic regression showed that the odds of disease was declined with increase of age (OR: 0.73 and 95% CI: 0.46-1.16, P>0.05) and 1.6% of fluctuation of disease was justified by age. Relative frequency of prevalence was higher in Lori than Arabic breed(P>0.05). Greater odds of disease in Lori than Arabic breed was seen (OR: 1.44 and 95% CI: 0.66-3.16, P>0.05) and 0.7% of fluctuation of disease was justified by breed. 51.4% of fluctuation of disease was justified by history of abortion and greater odds of disease in sheep with history of abortion than healthy sheep was seen (OR: 120.56 and 95%CI: 15.88-915.49, P<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression showed that 52% of fluctuation of disease was justified by age, breed and history of abortion. This serosurvey suggests Coxiella burnetii has a significant correlation with abortion. According to local weather conditions and facilitativeairborne transmission, prevention and control measures should be considered by health authorities.
