Purpose: To evaluate the effect of Hyperopia, Myopia and Astigmatism on measurement of color vision, we experimentally induced refractive errors by positive, negative and cylinder lenses and estimated this effect on measurement of color vision. Methods: From one hundred patients referred to optometry clinic, sixty subjects with distance corrected or uncorrected visual acuity of 6.6, and without any ocular pathology were selected. Color vision was measured by D15 test before and after introducing 2 to 14 diopter positive lenses, 4 to18 diopter minus lenses and 2 to 10 diopter positive cylinder lenses, to induce Hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism respectively. Results: The age was between 15 to 45 years. Although the decrease in color vision (or increase in the mean errors) was significant by introducing 4 to 14 positive, 8 to 18 minus and 4 to 10 cylinder, but it was not statistically significant by introducing 3 D positive lenses ,3D cylinder lenses and 4 D minus lenses. Conclusion: Induced 4 D or more myopia and astigmatism reduces color vision measured by D-15 test. But induced 8D or more Hyperopia can cause reduction in color vision measurement? On the other hand myopia and astigmatism less than 4 diopters, and hyperopia less than 8 diopters have no effect on the measurement of color vision.

Purpose: Comparison of pachymetry pattern of OCT finding in Keratoconus (KCN) suspect and normal subjects. Methods: Thirty-two KCN suspect eyes and Thirty- eight normal eyes in young subjects (20-30 year- old) were evaluated. Pachymetry pattern of frequency domain OCT (Visante) in different parts of cornea (thinnest point, inferior – superior thickness difference, inferior temporal – superior nasal thickness difference and thinnest point in 0-2 millimeter decent ration) were measured. Results: There was a significant (p<0.0001) difference in normal and KCN suspect patients in all measurements. KCN suspects showed thinner cornea and more differences in corneal thickness measurements. Conclusion: Anterior frequency domain OCT seems to be suitable for evaluation of KCN suspect patients. It may be critical for refractive surgery candidate and may be used as Pentacam or OrbScan corneal imaging systems.

Purpose: Normal stereopsis as the highest level of binocular vision is required for most of clinical works such as working with microscope and some jobs, like piloting and surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate, depth perception and hetrophoria in Mashhad laboratory sciences students in 2011. Methods: In this cross sectional study from 153 Mashhad laboratory sciences students, 42 subjects were selected randomly. Eye examinations including subjective and objective refraction and measurement of hetrophoria by cover test and prism bar were performed. The stereopsis was then determined with the T.N.O stereo test at 40 distance observation. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 11.5 software. Patients with amblyopia, cataract, and other ocular pathology were excluded from the study. Results: Mean stereoacuity of the subjects was 147/14 129/76. Among this population, 14 subjects (%33.3) used microscope monocularly and 28 subjects (% 66.7) used it bionocularly. There was no significant difference between mean stereopsis and hetrophoria and other relative effective factors such as refractive error, way of using microscope, near point of convergence age and sex (p>0.05). Comparison between mean monocular and binocular stereopsis was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no statictically significant difference between mean stereopsis and hetrophoria and other relative factors. However due to working too much with microscope, most of the laboratory sciences students had anomaly of binocular vision like intermittent exotropia and abnormal near point of convergence. This indicates the necessity of more research in anomaly of binocular vision in laboratory sciences students.

Purpose: Nosocomially acquired urinary tract infections (NAUTIs) are common infections in the hospital setting. Since the bacterial spectrum of NUTIs is extensive and the antibiotic resistance is common, we decided to study the incidence of etiology, antibiotic resistance and risk factors of (NAUTIs) in Ghaem University Hospital in Mashhad, Iran from 2009 to2012. Methods: The Present study is based on the isolation-identification and determining the antibiotic resistance pattern of (NAUTIs( from 2009 to 2012. Demographic data of patients regarding age, gender, symptoms and signs were collected by a valid questionnaire. Results: Among 647 patients with nosocomial infection, the prevalence of NAUTI was 102 (17.2%) during this period. The most frequently isolated micro-organism was Candida spp (20.9%), followed by Escherichia coli (16.3%), Klebsiella sp (15.4%), enterococci and acinetobacter (14.5%). Among antibiotic resistant bacteria, (53.8%) of E. coli were resistant to ampicilin and cefepim. Acinetobacter showed 66.6% resistance to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Conclusion: Among the isolates, approximately 46% had multidrug resistance to three or more agents and effective antibiotics for treatment of UTIs were nitrofurantoin and norfloxasin in this study.

Purpose: The continuous assessment of functional independence level in daily activities of elderly, residing in nursing homes is necessary. It seems that one of the important characteristics of the proper tools is their shortness. This study was designed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the 3-item, 4-item and 5- item versions of Barthel index in the elderly, residing in anursing home. Methods: After translating the tools, sampling was performed by using census method in Kashan Golabchi nursing home in 2006 (n=100). The questionnaires were completed through interview and observation. Inter-rater agreement was assessed. The tools reliability was determined via internal consistency method. Their validity was determined via Concurrent validity and Known-groups approach. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Kappa, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Kruskal-wallis test. Results: In all of the assessed tools, the inter-rater reliability for every item was good (Kappa>0.61). In relation to the total score, all of the tools Intra-class correlation coefficients were more than 0.9. The questionnaires reliability coefficients (internal consistency) were calculated 0.83-0.93. Item-total correlation confirmed their reliability too. Their concurrent validity with Persian Original Barthel index were confirmed (r=0.98, p<0.0001). The known-groups approach also revealed that these tools are valid (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The Persian versions of short 3, 4 and 5- item Barthel index for evaluation of disability in elderly, residing in Golabchi nursing home are valid and reliable.

Purpose: Balance and gait disorders are common motor complications after stroke. Studies have revealed that conventional physiotherapy cannot manage these disorders efficiently, so more studies addressing causes of these complications and presenting efficient treatment protocols are crucial. Concerning the significant effect of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on treatment of upper limbs motor impairments in hemiparetic patients, the goal of this study is to assess the effect of “Constraint Induced Movement Therapy” on symmetry of spatiotemporal gait parameters and velocity of gait in hemiparetic patients. Methods: Thirty hemiparetic patients (aged from 40 to 60 years) participated in this study. Patients were divided randomly into 2 groups. They received constraint induced movement therapy (group1) and mass practice (group 2) for 3 weeks. Experimental assessments of patients included stride velocity and symmetry of spatiotemporal gait parameters (spatial step symmetry, temporal stance symmetry, temporal swing asymmetry, overall temporal asymmetry) that were recorded and compared before and after treatment. In addition, the amount of weight bearing asymmetry was assessed via dual force platform. Results: In both groups, stride velocity increased (p=0.03, p=0.01). In group A, spatial step symmetry increased (p=0.02).Temporal swing asymmetry and overall temporal asymmetry decreased (p=0.01). In group B, only temporal swing asymmetry decreased (p=0.02). Conclusion: Physical therapy by “constraint induced movement therapy” can improve symmetry of spatiotemporal gait parameters efficiently through overcoming the “learned non use “phenomenon and improving the somatosensory deafferentation to motor controller centers.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome in women. It was done in an effort to prevent the development of this neurological disease in women. Methods: A case - control study was performed on 132 women with carpal tunnel syndrome and 80 women without disease, with an age range of 18-60 years, referred to one of the physical therapy centers in Ardabil. Samples were selected randomly and the radial and ulnar nerve conduction standard tests were done. In order to collect data, a questionnaire that included common risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome was used. Data analysis was performed by using t-test and chi-square test. Results: T-test showed statistically significant differences between cases and controls in the mean length and width of the wrist (p=0.001). Among the hormonal factors, diabetes in the case group was three times more than the control group. Furthermore, calculation of second chances coefficient for taking oral contraceptives showed that these drugs can be also among the risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome. Based on the results, using cold water and washing clothes by hand in the patient group was significantly more than the control group (p=0.033) (p=0.011). Conclusion: Housekeeping, history of using oral contraceptives and diabetes can be the risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome. Moreover, factors such as number of children, weight, length and width of the wrist and using cold water for washing were more common in patients. Understanding these factors can be an effective step in preventing this common problem in women.

The polyneuropathy caused by chronic Gasoline Sniffing is reported to be a gradually progressive, symmetric, sensorimotor polyneuropathy. The report of gasoline sniffing by three 12, 16 and18 years old brothers (Respectively 5, 8 and 11 years of gasoline inhalation addiction) that referred with peripheral neuropathy was studied. The conditions were characterized by relatively small reduction in nerve conduction velocity (depending on the severity of nerve involvement) and to some degree in all four limbs with moderate to severe sensory and motor involvement, lower limbs had worse conditions than upper limbs. The neuropathy was attributed to the N-hexane and tetraethyl, the lead components of gasoline. Educational efforts about the dangers of gasoline sniffing are essential.
