One of the most important periods for promoting health is the youth. According to importance of life style as an important aspects of health, this survey was done to evaluate the aspects of health-promoting life style in students. This survey was cross sectional and descriptive-analytic. Our population consists of 200 nursing students in Ramsar’s Fatemezahra nursing college at 2016-2017. Our data was collected with a checklist that its validity and reliability was confirmed. The total mean score of healthy lifestyle was 96.129±20.01. In this study students acquired the most score in responsibility for health which can be for their field of study and higher knowledge about health issues. There was a significant relationship between physical activity and gender and also between physical activity and residential site. Students which were in dormitory had less physical activity than students which live with family (P=0.040) and friends (P=0.009). The mean score of life style in dormitory students was in lower ranges, so it is essential for designing and executing standard educational interventions and different supporting systems in nutritional, recreational, cultural and welfare aspects.

This study used semi-experimental method and applied pre-test and post-test scheme with control group. The study population was the 34 third-grade high school students who were studying in Babol’s Mehre Sabz Conservatory high school. The students were assigned into two groups by a two-stage method, namely the control group and the experimental group. The first group was an available sample of students of a conservatory high school, and the other was using the cluster-sampling method. The samples answered interpersonal absolution questionnaires as a pretest, and then, the spiritual skills educational Course was performed in 8 sessions for experimental group. In post-test stage, both groups had answered the questionnaire for one more time again. Data analysis carried out by using SPSS software and covariance test. The results showed that the ratio of F (Fm=26.7) that had been obtained for agent group is bigger than that of critical F (Fc=15.4) by a confidence level and significance level of 95% and 0.05, respectively. This shows the meaningful effect of teaching spiritual skills on interpersonal absolution in experimental group. Based on our findings, it can be concluded that teaching spiritual skills can be used as a suitable approach that aims to promote the interpersonal absolution among students.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is an adverse effect of antipsychotic medication. Here, we described an atypical NMS case following treatment with clozapine, without the main clinical features (fever and rigidity) of NMS.

Although NMS can be easily recognized in typical presentation, but it could be consist of different types of onset, clinical findings and course, and also it can present a benign prognosis if recognized and treated early.

Mites are small arthropods with economical, medical and veterinary importance. Tyrophagus putrescentiae invade the fungal cultures and can lead to several damages in cultures. Thus, the aims of this study were to identify and control of mites in contaminated fungal cultures.
