Ankle sprain is one of the most common lower limb injuries. The sprain symptoms can be permanent and the person has functional instability of the ankle, but some people can return to their pre-injury period, and these people are called Cooper. Ankle sprain and subsequent functional instability may cause a disturbance in the proprioceptive sense of the ankle joint. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the sense of the ankle joint position in athletes with functional ankle instability (non-Coper), healthy and Coper.

This was a comparative causal study that was conducted in Yazd in 1402. A number of 75 athletes were placed in three groups of ankle functional instability, Coper and healthy. Functional Ankle Instability Diagnosis Questionnaire (IdFAI) was used to diagnose Coper and Non-Coper athletes. At first, with the help of proprioceptive photography, their ankle joint was evaluated as an active reconstruction of the angle with closed eyes in the angles of 20 degrees of plantar flexion and 10 degrees of dorsiflexion, and then the three groups were compared with each other. The collected data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, Levens test, Shapiro-Wilk, and Tukey's post hoc statistical tests.

The results of Levens and Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the normality of the data and the equality of variances as the assumptions of the one-way analysis of variance were observed (p>0.05). In addition, the research results showed that between the three groups of ankle functional instability, Coper and healthy in ankle proprioception in plantar flexion (p=0.003) and dorsiflexion (p=0.001), the mean of the functional instability group had more reconstruction error. The results of the Tukey test showed that there was a significant difference between the functional reconstruction error of dorsiflexion and plantarflexion in the functional instability group with the Coper and healthy groups (p<0.05), but no significant difference was observed between the mean of the Cooper and Salem groups (p>0.05).

It seems that athletes with functional instability of the ankle have more angle reconstruction error than the other two groups and as a result have a weaker sense of proprioception. Therefore, sports therapists and rehabilitators should include exercises to proprioception in designing training programs and rehabilitating people with functional instability of the ankle.

Non-communicable diseases or NCDs including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases or CVDs, cancers, diabetes mellitus or DM, high blood pressure or hypertension, COPD or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. are the most important cause of death in the world, and estimates indicate that this trend will continue in the coming years. This is despite the fact that many of the factors that cause the mentioned diseases, (including smoking, obesity, inactivity, alcohol consumption, and stress) can be prevented or controlled to a large extent. Lifestyle medicine is a specialty in medicine, which uses interventions to prevent and even treat those diseases that are related to people's lifestyle. This approach includes 6 principles; healthy eating pattern, ample physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections. In recent years, the use of lifestyle medicine, to treat non-communicable diseases or NCDs, has become an accepted approach in the world.

A safe food system provides the conditions for consumers to decide about and choose the food products. This systematic review describes the alternatives in order to achieve a healthy nutrition pattern in a food system that can be used to make changes in current policies.

An electronic literature search was done in Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Springer, ProQuest, Ovid, Magiran, Irandoc, Iranmedex using the following keywords: food and nutrition policy, evidence, food system, sustainability, healthy food, and sustainable food and nutrition system. Articles published between 2000 and 2018 in Persian and English that met the study inclusion criteria were selected.

In order to establish evidence-based policy four factors should be considered, including situation analysis, policy illustrations, analyzing the policy’s framework, and changes in policy. 

The food environments and systems are the basis for food choices of people. Indeed, guiding the food system toward safe and affordable approaches affect consumers’ nutrition patterns. In Iran, changes in food policy should be also socio-culturally appropriate

The Survey of plantar pressure variables provides better understanding of the potential injury to the plantar area nowadays. The aim of this study was the Comparison of plantar pressure variables during walking in male and female.

The present study included 15 males and 15 female. A foot scan set (sampling rate: 300Hz) was used for measuring plantar pressure variables during walking in male and female. Independent sample t-test was used for statistical analysis.

Results demonstrated that the Medio-lateral (p=0/001) and anterior-posterior (p=0/001) displacement of the center of pressure during walking in male is greater than  female. Also fifth metatarsal peak plantar pressure during walking in male is greater than female (p= 0/004). In addition peak force first (p=0/043), third (p=0/049), fourth (p= 0/012), fifth (p= 0/011) and heel medial (p= 0/049) metatarsals during walking in male greater than that female.

According to the findings of this study, the increase in Center of pressure fluctuations and pressure and forces during walking in men and the relationship between pressure and force pattern with injury, indicates more susceptibility to injury during walking in men.

Background and

The effect of stress on diabetes is a complex issue but its relationship with blood sugar level and diabetes control has been clarified. The present study was carried out to compare the stressor and coping strategies in subjects with diabetes and normal subjects. Methods and Materials: This case-control study was conducted on diabetic and normal subjects, including 30 subjects with diabetes and 30 normal subjects. Research instruments were daily stressors assessment questionnaire and the ways of coping with stress questionnaire. Independent t-test in SPSS was used for testing the hypotheses. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were 0.88 and 0.84 respectively.

There was a significant difference between frequency of stressors in subjects with diabetes (mean 307.33) compared to normal subjects (mean 173.2) (p<0.05). Also, there was a significant difference between severity of stressors in subjects with diabetes (mean 308.26) compared to normal subjects (mean 172.5) (p<0.05). There was a significant difference between coping strategies in subjects with diabetes (mean 15.56) compared to normal subjects (mean 24.73) (p<0.05).

According to research findings, frequency and severity of stressors in subjects with diabetes were higher than normal subjects.
