Improving the conditions for improving the educational success of martyrs and veterans affairs students is one of the basic responsibilities of university administrators and foundation of martyrs and veterans affairs. In this regard, the present study has identified, categorized, ranked and evaluated the present status of factors affecting the educational success of these students educating in Islamic Azad universities in Tehran.

This research is practical and quantitative. The model developing has been done with an inductive approach and through Delphi method. To this end, 20 experts of higher education as well as managers and staff of foundation of martyrs and veterans affairs have been surveyed during three phases. The model testing has been conducted using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis through PLS software. The statistical population of this section includes 1227 students of Islamic Azad University educating in Tehran, among them 386 persons were randomly selected as the statistical sample. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. To evaluate the existing status of the elements of this model, T -test has been used through SPSS software.

The proposed model consists of four main dimensions: individual factors, environmental factors, educational factors and facilities. Validation of the model confirms the effects of the four identified factors.

Improving the factors presented can help empowering of these students to play a more effective role in the community. Paying attention to the impact factor and the existing status of these factors can help to improve the effectiveness of these practices.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease considered to be the most common entity of a rare group of disorders known as auto-inflammatory syndromes which have acute presentations in emergency settings.

A search of Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and PubMed databases for articles published before January 2019 was performed using relevant keywords. Full-text English articles, including review articles, case series, and experimental studies, were evaluated. Unrelated studies were excluded. Based on the selected keywords, 440 studies were selected for review. Ultimately, 60 met the study criteria for final assessment.

Given the various symptoms and the multiplicity of differential diagnoses, physicians may easily miss diagnosing FMF. Accordingly, emergency medical staff must be trained in order to significantly reduce the number of medical errors and economic costs and to improve the quality of life of involved patients.

Although FMF is already known to be an inflammatory entity, more study and investigation of it is required. There is an educational gap in both medical and general populations that should be filled by using new genetic testing and providing appropriate social and medical education.

The Present Era is a Period of Sweeping and Overwhelming Changes That are Filled with Vague Situations, with Opportunities and Threats in Various Fields Facing Leading Executives and Organizations. Effective Managing and Commanding in Such Situations Requires Having Risk Management Skills and Promoting a Risk-Taking Culture Appropriate to The Nature and Status of Any Organization. This Research Seeks To Provide a Model Of Risk-Taking Culture in Defensive Organizations of Islamic Republic of Iran and Provides Suggestions For Promoting Risk-Taking Culture. This Research Is a Practical and Qualitative-Inductive Research. Grounded Theory Has Been Used for Introducing The Model. The Sources of Research Information are Statements of Our Supreme Leader in defensive organizations. Research Findings Show That Risk-Taking Culture Consists of Four Main Dimensions: Risk-Orienting, Flexibility and Dynamism, AdventuresomeDecision-Making, Humanism. In Addition, Factors Facilitating the Development of Risk-Taking Culture are: Values, Risk Competencies, Motivational System, Organizational Relationships and Organizational Requirements.Accordingly, Some Practical Suggestions Have Been Used for Promoting a Culture of Risk-Taking in Such Organizations.

Promoting Health Literacy (HL) is considered as an important goal in strategic plans of many countries. In spite of the necessity for access to valid, reliable and native HL instruments, the number of such instruments in the Persian language is scarce. Moreover, there is no good estimation of HL status in Iran.. The aim of this study was to provide a valid, reliable and native instrument to measure and monitor community HL in Iran and also, to provide an estimation of HL status in two Iranian provinces..Patients and By applying the multistage cluster sampling, 1080 respondents (540 from each gender) were recruited from Kerman and Mazandaran provinces of Iran, from February to June 2014 to participate in this cross-sectional study. The development of the Iranian Health Literacy Questionnaire (IHLQ) was initiated with a comprehensive review of the literature. Then, face, content and construct validity as well as reliability were determined.. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability (ICC) of the factors was in the range of 0.71 to 0.96 and 0.73 to 0.86, respectively. In order to construct validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) = 0.95 and Bartlett’s test result of 3.017 with P < 0.001) with varimax rotation was used. Optimal reduced solution, including 36 items and seven factors, was found in EFA. Five of the factors identified were reading/comprehension skills, individual empowerment, communication/decision-making skills, social empowerment and health knowledge.. It was concluded that IHLQ might be a practical and useful tool for investigating HL for Persian language speakers around the world. Since HL is dynamic and its instruments should be regularly revised, further studies are recommended to assess HL with application of IHLQ to detect its potential imperfections..

Massive Pulmonary Embolism (MPE) is a life threating condition. MPE is defined as a 50% or more occlusion of the main pulmonary arteries or obliteration of two or more of lobar arteries. Patients often die at the primary hours as a result of right heart failure, therefore finding the signs of Right Ventricular (RV) dysfunction is helpful in early diagnostic concern of MPE in first studies for example spiral CT scans in patients with respiratory symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the CT angiographic findings due to RV dysfunction in patients with acute MPE. We conducted analytic study. This study was performed on 80 humans by using of CT angiography for evaluation of findings due to RV dysfunction. They were obtained from CT Angiography Department of Madany Hospital in Tabriz City. The mean of maximum short axis diameter of RV in case group is higher than control group and it is statistically significant (p<0.05). The mean of maximum short axis diameters of right and left ventricular ratio in case group is higher than control group and it is statistically significant too (p<0.05). The mean of superior vena cava and azygus veins diameter in case group is higher than control group and it is statistically significant (p<0.05). Evaluation of RV afterload findings by computed tomography could be effective in prediction of sever MPE, faster therapeutic management and resultant decreased mortality.
