The present study provides an overview of geographic distribution patterns as well as the conservation priorities assessment of the genus Pseudopodospermum in Iran, using a GIS framework. A set of geographic distribution data was compiled through field studies, reviews of Flora Iranica, Flora of Iran, and examination of the herbarium specimens deposited at various herbaria. The geographic distribution mappings of the genus were analyzed using ArcView and DIVA-GIS software. High species richness was observed in Kurdo-Zagrosian Province, followed by Fars-Kerman, Atropatanean, and Northern Khorasan Provinces in Irano-Turanian phytogeographical region. Regarding our results, it could be concluded that effective conservation management in Kurdo-Zagrosian Province would lead to protecting a high percentage of Pseudopodospermum species against the threat of extinction.

No studies, to the best of our knowledge, have been conducted on the effect of Clofibrate in reducing hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the therapeutic effect of Clofibrate in treating hyperbilirubinemia of preterm neonates.
This clinical trial was performed from April 4 to December 20, 2019, on neonates in Hamadan in western Iran. The allocation remained concealed to the researcher, neonates’ parents, and analyzer during the study. A dose of Clofibrate of 25 kg/mg was given on the first day of hospitalization. The neonates in the placebo group received the oral placebo 25 kg/mg in the same way as the oral Clofibrate. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 with P-value < 0.05.
No statistically significant difference was observed in the baseline characteristics of the two groups based on the neonate’s age and gender, delivery method, and gestational age. The prescription of Clofibrate significantly reduced the duration of hospitalization (p= 0.002) and phototherapy (p= 0.001). Prescribing a single oral dose of Clofibrate (25 mg/Kg) along with phototherapy in preterm neonates significantly reduced total serum bilirubin levels at 24 and 48 hours after treatment compared with phototherapy alone (p= 0.001). However, this association was not significant in admission (p= 0.095).
The findings of this study showed the effect of Clofibrate in treating hyperbilirubinemia of preterm neonates. In addition, prescribing Clofibrate significantly reduced the duration of hospitalization and phototherapy.

Obesity in children as a chronic problem with an increasing prevalence is one of the health problems in the last century. If the path from childhood to adolescent be accompanied by a gradual decline in physical activity and increased consumption of high-calorie foods, it will lead to obesity and a variety of chronic diseases. This study can help plan to reduce the prevalence and complications of this common disorder.

This study was performed in pediatric endocrinology clinic of Hamadan Besat hospital. In this study, children between the ages of 8 and 15 years with the BMI greater than 85% were randomly selected. The children were randomly divided into three groups. The first group underwent follow up without intervention. The second group under the appropriate diet plan and the third group were introduced to exercise expert. Changes in height, weight and BMI of all three groups were evaluated during three months.

This study was performed on 97 patients referred to pediatric endocrinology clinic of Hamadan Besat Hospital during 2019-2020. 54.7% of patients were boys and 44.3% were girls. The mean age of the patients was 10.70 ± 2.15 years. Patients were divided into three groups; control (29%), diet group (32%) and physical activity group (36%). BMI was significantly decreased after three months in the diet and physical activity groups, but there was no significant difference between the two groups.

According to the results, with an appropriate diet and physical activity, we can improve overweight and obesity.

 The current paper aimed to collect and document the information about medicinal plants of Boyer Ahmad and Dena regions and their applications by indigenous inhabitants.  The field surveys were carried out from March 2015 to September 2016 under supervision of local people. Collected plant specimens were identified to species level using Flora of Iran and Flora Iranica. Subsequently, information including scientific names, local names, parts used, method of preparation, medicinal effects, growth forms, and chorotypes for 71 species were recorded.  Medicinal plants belonged to 62 genera and 29 families. Apiaceae (14.08%) and Lamiaceae (14.08%) had the most number of species among other families. Based on Raunkier method, hemicryptophytes with 42.25% is the highest growth form and the most common chorotype was Irano-Turanian type (70.42%). The most used parts are aerial parts (40/85%),‎ and the most common mode of preparation was infusion (24%). The results of this study indicate that local people in Boyer Ahmad and Dena regions have used all collected plants for medicinal, food and sanitary purposes and their knowledge about identification of plants and their habitats, medicinal and edible properties is extensive.  Native knowledge leads to obtaining valuable information including medicinal properties of plants, usable parts, time of growth, best time for harvesting and areas which have growing potential. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the native knowledge about medicinal plants in various regions of Iran.

The genus Argemone is recorded by the species Argemone ochroleuca as a new genus for the flora of Iran. The specimens have been collected from Jiroft in Kerman Province, southeast of Iran. Description, localities, habitat, and geographic distribution are discussed. The images of plant in its natural habitat and of the herbarium specimen are presented.
