Dear Editor, One of the major challenges faced by the health care facilities globally is the significant shift of the global burden of disease from communicable diseases to non-communicable ones (1). The alarm on the rising rates of noncommunicable diseases has been sounded by the public health, and epidemiological and clinical communities for at least the past forty years (2). . .

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) characterized by a backward movement of gastric contents from the lower esophageal sphincter (1). GERD is the exacerbated and pathologic form of Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) accompanied by symptoms and complications of damage to the esophagus (2). Vomiting is the most common symptom of this disease, which occurs in 50% of children; it will peak in 4 months and decrease over a year (3). An infant's reflux often brings about regurgitation and symptoms of esophagitis (e. g. irritability, arching, choking, gagging and food refusal) and therefore causes delayed growth (4). Due to high prevalence of this disease and side effects of drugs in infants, it is necessary to find simple remedies for prevention and reduce the complications of GERD. Persian medicine (PM) as a branch of complementary medicine has some recommendations to prevent infant's gastrointestinal disease. Although these recommendations are recorded hundred years ago, many of them has been approved in conventional medicine. In Persian literature, clinical symptoms such as (Joshā-e Hā miz) regurgitation of sour material and (Horqat laz’ ) heartburn are similar to GERD (5). Iranian physicians have proposed the following recommendation:

No Abstract

Respiratory involvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most complaints in pulmonary disorders. Though symptomatic treatment of the patients with chemical medications is efficient in sign reduction, medications side effects and permitting the disease to become chronic are precarious for patients. Today, the World Health Organization considers traditional medicine. Iranian Traditional medicine (ITM) makes a priority for disease prevention by suggesting some strategies. We intended to investigate the Lifestyle effect on cystic fibrosis patients. In this review, we searched the most important ITM sources [such as Qanoon fi al-teb (The canon of medicine), Zakhire-Kharazmshahi, and Exir-Azam), and scientific databases such as Data sources included (Pub Med and Google Scholar] in English and without time restriction from inception up to April 2020. According to ITM, the six essential principles must be observed in the management of patients with thick and sticky airway secretions that include nutritional pieces of advice about food and drink, exercise quality, evacuation and retention quantity, advising calmness, no prolonged and daytime sleep and avoidance from air pollution. An unhealthy Lifestyle can play an important role in these patients that confirmed by classical medicine. Therefore, further clinical trials should be performed to confirm the long-term efficacy of a healthy Lifestyle in cystic fibrosis patients’ management.

Dear Editor, Winter sports" refer to athletic activities that take place in cold or snowy weather, such as skiing and ice hockey, which are popular in certain regions and often require specialized equipment. Consequently, some researchers suggest that the health and performance of athletes engaged in winter sports should be evaluated (1). There have been several studies examining the effects of climate change on winter sports, such as Orr’, s research on organized sports (2) and Gatterer’, s investigation of the impact of cold environments on the body (3).
