Objective: To compare the efficacy of using mild ovarian stimulation protocol and conventional stimulation protocol in IVF outcome.Materials and Methods: we randomized 200 women with regularly menstruation who were candidate for IVF. They had undergone stimulation with clomiphene citrate, gonadotropin and GnRH antagonist or gonadotropin and GnRH agonist.Results: There were no significant difference in mean age, cause of infertility, basal FSH, BMI, endometrial thickness on the HCG administration and clinical pregnancy rate in two groups. The number of recovered oocytes, embryos obtained, embryos transferred, peak estradiol on the HCG administration and OHSS were significantly higher in agonist group. Significantly more patients in agonist group had embryo cryopreserved.Conclusion: The CC/ gonadotropin/ GnRH antagonist is an acceptable alternative protocol for IVF in patients with regularly menstruation.

Occurring earthquake in Iran plateau is common due to that Iran is on seismic belt and having a large number of faults. Studying of YAZD’s vulnerability in Iranian’s seismic code earthquake is the goal of this research. In this study vulnerability of structures depending on the type of soil obtained by HAZUS method and on the basis of the vulnerability of building structures in different regions will be investigated. On the basis of structural damage, levels of damage and loss of life calculated separately for each region. The results showed that in region 1 and 2 because of population density and having most of the old buildings, they have the greatest loss of life and region 3 have a greatest financial and structural damages and it is very vulnerable.

Background and aim: Skin cancer is the most common human cancer. Ultraviolet radiation is now recognized as the most important risk factor for skin cancer development. Light skin colored individuals that spend more time outdoors in day are more susceptible to disease. In this study skin cancer situation in YAZD (located in a hot, dry and desert area) was reviewed.Materials and methods: In this existing data study all recorded cancers in pathology laboratory of University of Medical Sciences of YAZD between 1988-1996 were reviewed and skin cancers were studied.Results: 2360 patients with cancer were recorded. Skin cancer was the most common with 646 cases (27.3%). Bladder, stomach, breast and esophagus cancers were the other most common cancers. Among skin cancers basal cell carcinoma was the most common (77%). Other skin cancers included squamous cell carcinoma (17.8%), malignant melanoma (2.8%) and miscellaneous tumors (2.4%). Skin cancers were 1.5 times more common in males, and the majority of patients were in seventh and eighth decades of life. 91.5% of skin cancers were on face, head and neck.Conclusion: Skin cancer was the most common human cancer in YAZD. Considering skin type and intensity of sun in this area, more intensive preventive programs must be implemented.

YAZD block in Central Iran is a district of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study area is situated in southwest YAZD and it is surrounded by Dehshir fault in east and Mehriz fault in west. This NW trending fault system comprises numerous evidence for active faulting. Major and minor fault segments were mapped in satellite images in order to recognize fault zones structural and geomorphic characteristics. Epicenter location for five instrumental earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 4 to 5 are defined in Tang-E-Chenar fault zone and probable causative faults are distinguished. Active NW trending Tezenj fault is introduced in this paper for the first time. Dominant fault mechanism involves right-lateral strike-slip and reverse movements observed all over the region representing recent fault activities. There are several geomorphic data demonstrating dextral strike-slip offsets in rock units, Quaternary alluvial fans and qanats along the faults. There is evidence for right-lateral offset in Triass units for ~840m along Taft fault and for ~2250m in Lower Cretaceous rocks along Mehriz fault. Right-lateral offset of alluvial fans ranges from ~140m to ~500m along Turanposht fault. Geomorphic analyses are together with. field geologic observations and fault geometric and kinematic measurements

Historic District Heritage Cities is worthwhile over time in identifying the paced urban life has played a special role. Therefore, the role and effects of urban management in historic cities is crucial planning. Therefore, given the importance of this paper is to analyze the development of physical-physical areas of urban management in YAZD will pay.

Surveys show that the region has the third ranked first due to historical Frsvh tissue is less, then the next two and a they taken Ratings.

Although tourism was an aspect in social field but in this age the man view about tourism is more economic and they try to increase its contribution in national income. It is mentioned that in decades, tourism activities has been much growth to the other man activities.Formalizing the words as agrotourism, archaeological tourism, ecotourism, heal thinness tourism, sport tourism, geotourism and cultural tourism, religious tourism, economical tourism, political tourism, scenery tourism, vacation tourism show that we can develop our activities in this field. Among them, geotourism is a form of cultural - environmental tourism that can develop in areas with important geological monuments which are exploited in order to attract visitors with special interests. Geotourism is based on the magic of discovery and the power of authenticity experienced through the contact with the natural heritage of our land. Being the creative link between Nature and Culture in a region, geotourism can answer new tourist quests and trends, thereby contributing to the development of many regions in the country.The YAZD region constitutes one of the most significant environmental and cultural reserves on Iran, strewn with unique and significant natural geological monuments that are called Geotopes.The Geotopes are the meeting places of elements recording the geological history of each region. They are the irrefutable witnesses of an everlasting evolution of life on earth, such as volcanoes, caves, gorges, fossilized areas, large geological rifts, ancient mines, geological formations or landscapes chiseled by natural forces throughout the geological ages. Such sites have a special scientific and aesthetic value and could become areas with significant tourist interest.Although it is a term only recently introduced in the terminology of local development, geotourism has already found application in many areas in YAZD with significant prospects for dynamic continuation and expansion.Recent efforts to record, upgrade and exploit a number of geological sites in YAZD have produced significant results; the erratic rocks on the Fakhr-Abad, the cirques of Tezergan on Tezergan,the glacial gorge in Deh-Bala, the underground natural dam on Mehriz and Sand dam in Ashkezar and, the granite rocks and the marble mine, the gorge in Taft, the Kavir and glassi desert in Abar Kooh and Darangier to mention are cased YAZD to be as a natural history museum.

Purpose: To identify clinical factors that predicts ocular survival and final VA after open globe injury. Methods: A two year prospective study of 79 consecutively admitted patients who presented with open globe injury at Ra.ahan Eye Hospital between March 1997 to March 1999 was performed.Results: This study included 79 eye injuries. Fifty nine (74.7%) occurred in males and 20 (25.3%) in females. Mean age was 17.08 years. Left eye was more commonly involved (57%). Initial VA was an important predictor of final VA. Good initial VA>20/200 lead to final VA of 20/200 or better in 24% of patients. 40.6% of trauma occurred in first decade of life. Injuries less than 10mm and related to zone I, II predicted a good visual outcome. In our study endophthalmitis (5.1%) was much less likely to develop in eyes with primary repair within 24 hours of the injury (1.5%) than in eyes with more than 24 hours (21.4%, P=0.016).Conclusion: Significant predictive factors of final VA after open globe injury include: initial VA, wound length and location, mechanism of injury, APD and time of primary repair. Public education on the use of safety eye protector is necessary and may reduce the incidence of globe injury.

Background: Dyslipidemia, a genetic and multifactorial disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, is defined by elevations in the levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non– HDL-C), triglyceride, or some combination thereof as well as lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents in the YAZD Greater Area, YAZD, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted as a part of the national project implemented in YAZD Greater Area, YAZD, Iran. The sampling was performed using a multi-stage cluster sampling method on three age groups of girls and boys, including 6-9, 10-14, and 15-18 years old. Out of the total 1, 035 children and adolescents who initially participated in this study, only 784 participants remained until the end. Data collection was performed using lifestyle questionnaires including Kiddie-SADS-Present and Lifetime Version software. Results: The rate of high triglyceride was estimated at 1. 4% and 4. 2% in 6-9 and 10-18 years old children and adolescents, respectively. Moreover, the prevalence of high cholesterol, LDL, and HDL were obtained at 3. 2%, 3. 2%, and 25. 6%, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the total population of children and adolescents was estimated at 64. 6% and 57. 3% in boys and girls, respectively (P=0. 038) in terms of demographic variables. Gender and increase in body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with dyslipidemia with OR=1. 35; 95% CI: 1. 01-1. 81 and OR=13. 781; 95% CI: 3. 78-46. 43, respectively. However, after adjustment for other factors, only an increase in BMI was significantly associated with dyslipidemia (OR=16. 08; 95% CI: 4. 49-57. 59). Conclusion: Overweight and obese adolescents had a higher concentration of serum blood triglycerides, compared to their counterparts. Weight control, lifestyle, and diet modification are three ways to reduce lipid disorders in adolescents.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors are increasing in developing counties.Previous studies have shown a high prevalence of CAD risk factors in Iran but geographical prevalence is not uniform. We performed this study to determine the prevalence of these risk factors in YAZD province, central Iran.Method: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 2000 participants, 1000 men and 1000 women among YAZD citizens, were surveyed and data was recorded in a 500-item questionnaire.Results: About 85% of YAZD citizens had at least one and 61.1% had at least two coronary artery disease risk factors. The present study showed that 16.38% of YAZD citizens were obese (9.2% in men and 24.2% in women), and 43.3% of men and 62.05% of women had excess weight.Prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 12.1% (10.6% in men and 13.8% in women, respectively), dyslipidemia 58.5% (59% and 57.6%, respectively), high blood pressure (HTN) 25.6% (27.5% and 23.5%, respectively), diabetes mellitus (DM) 11% (10.48% and 11.5%, respectively), impaired glucose tolerance 8.5% (7.9% and 9.1%, respectively) and cigarette smoking 13.12% (24.45% and 0.5%, respectively). The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, dyslipidemia, DM, HTN, and abdominal obesity increased significantly with age (p<0.005).The prevalence of obesity, abdominal obesity, hypercholesterolemia and DM was significantly higher in women.Conclusion: Excess weight, dyslipidemia and HTN were the most prevalent risk factors in YAZD.Although YAZD did not have the highest levels of risk factors in Iran, but the findings showed that YAZD is one of the “at risk” cities with regard to prevalence of risk factors. Preventive and therapeutic programs should thus be considered as a major health priority in YAZD.
