Introduction:Internal evaluation plays a fundamental role in quality improvment and development in teaching department. The aim  of this work was an internal evaluation of the Department of Anatomical Sciences in Semnan university of medical sciences. Materials and Methods:This study  was performed in  department of anatomical sciences of SUMS, during May 2000 to April 2001; utilizing an  grading model. The evaluation covered 4 areas, namley; "educational activity", "organizational ranking", "logistic parameters", and "research activity". Educational objectives and teaching achievement were evaluated at the level of first and second years of pre-clinical medical students and also evaluated by members of department. Organizational ranking included the head of department, the members of the organizing body, and the teaching staff of the department. Logistic parameters encompassed the manpower and personal of department; as well as available space and facilities. Research activities  consisted  of the numbers of the theses supervised, numbers of papers published in outstanding journals, amount of research projects and contirbutions made to congress and seminars. Data collection involved the use of some questionnaires and criteria. The final score obtained as the average of all scores and interpreted according to GOURMAN CLASSIFICATION. Results:Educational objectives and activites ranked as "good" with 3.63 and 3.96 pts. (evaluated by students and members, respectively). Organization and logistic parameters of the department ranked as "good" (3.6 pts) and "more than satisfactory" (2.85), respectively. Research activities ranked as "good" with  3.58 pts. Conclusion:Analysis of the results placed the department of anatomical sciences of SUMS in the "more than satisfactory" class of the GOURMAN CLASSIFICATION. This department needs to progress the training function and the compesnsation of the demerits.

Introduction: According to International CLASSIFICATION of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), children with Cerebral palsy may have considerable impairments and limitations in all levels of body structure and functioning, activity, and participation in social roles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of adapted constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) on outcome measurements based on ICF levels.Materials and Methods: In a single-blinded randomized controlled trial, 28 participants who met preset inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into two groups: CIMT and the controls. Subjects in CIMT group were provided with the intervention for 10 out of 12 consecutive days and another group received routine occupational therapy services. Independent-sample t test and paired-sample t test were used for statistical analysis of data.Results: At ICF level of body structure and function, significant differences in shoulder muscle tone and forearm and wrist passive range of motion (PROM) were found between the two studied groups. At activity and participation levels, similar differences were also indicated in dexterity, bilateral coordination, bimanual coordination and Caregiver Functional Use Survey (how well & how frequently) (P<0.05).Conclusion: Implementing the adapted constraint induced movement therapy protocol through a child friendly approach was proved to improve hand functions and activities of daily living.

Identifying the different habitats in wetlands is essential for their protection. This research was carried out with the aim of classifying habitat areas of Maharlu wetland in Fars province using MedWet, Mediterranean Wetland Habitat CLASSIFICATION System. Information on dominant vegetation cover, soil, and hydrology of the wetland was prepared using field surveys. The data on the water regime were obtained with quarterly satellite images from 2016-2019 in remote sensing media using ArcGIS. Sampling was performed for wetland plants and lake bed outcrops from 39 stations in May 2020. Plants were identified and classified on the basis of being an annual or perennial presence and submerged or floating. By stacking this information in ILWIS, different habitat zones were separated. Each was then specified using habitat international standard codes, and habitat maps were prepared. In total, 42 habitats were identified in the Maharlu wetland. The most prevalent habitats were palustrine–emergent–persistent–seasonally flooded–Mixosaline– (P-EPSX-) (14,797,300 m2), palustrine–emergent–persistent–temporarily flooded– Mixosaline (P-EPSX-) (296,600 m2), lacustrine–littoral–emergent–persistent–seasonally flooded–mixosaline– (LLEPSX) (2,079,900 m2), and lacustrine–littoral–emergent–persistent–Semipermanently flooded–mixosaline– (LLEPLX-) (493,000 m2). The results of this research in recognizing habitats are useful for the protection of ecosystem sections, especially plant communities.

Introduction: Anemia is the reduction of normal number of red bloods cells and quantity of hemoglobin in blood. The level of hemoglobin in the blood is widely accepted as the method for diagnosing anemia. Various hemoglobin values have been proposed for the diagnosis of anemia in pregnancy. Anemia in pregnancy is defined by WHO as a hemoglobin concentration below 11 g/dL.1 However, the CDC suggests a hemoglobin level of 11 g/dL in the first and third trimesters and 10.5 g/dL in the second trimester as cut-off values for anemia.7 The definition proposed by WHO is most commonly used. CLASSIFICATION of anemia is based on etiology, red blood cell form or shape, and duration of disease. A clinically useful CLASSIFICATION of anemia based on hemoglobin level.Material and method: search in Ovid and other electronic reverences.Results : The most common risk factors for the development of IDA in pregnancy include vegetarian diet, menstrual abnormalities prior to pregnancy, minority status, level of education sixth grade or less, high parity (risk increases three-fold in women with two to three children as opposed to nulliparous women), hyperemesis gravidarum, and poverty-level income. In a normal gestation, the total iron requirement throughout the pregnancy is approximately 1 g. Approximately 300 mg are actively transferred to the fetus and placenta, 200 mg are lost to various routes of excretion, and approximately 500 mg are incorporated (if available) into the increasing maternal hemoglobin mass. Erythropoiesis increases progressively with gestational age and returns to normal 5 weeks after delivery.Conclusion: There is an uneven distribution of iron requirements during pregnancy. Because of the absence of menstrual losses and negligible needs of the fetus, iron requirements in the first trimester are very low. Increasing amounts of iron are used during the second half of pregnancy (6–7 mg per day), and the requirement for iron is highest in the third trimester—up to 10 mg per day during the last 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy.Special attention should be given to teen pregnancies, since the body must meet the gestational requirements in addition to the needs of the growing mother. Particularly significant is the stage of the growth spurt in adolescence when iron requirements are the highest. For example, in 14-year-old girls, median iron requirements can be approximately 30% higher than that for their mothers.
