The most usual important complication of intravenous fluid therapy is phelibitis , also in children the most important complication is phelibitis. The aim of this research is determination predisposing factors of phelebitis in children that managed by intravenous fluid therapy. This is an analytic and expressive research which its samples are hospitalized children who were in the pediatric hospital of Tehran university. In this research 440 patients were assigned in two groups consist of 220. One group were considered for changing the place of serum and the other group for changing the tube of serum. After getting the satisfaction sheet from parents, the injection performed by graguated nurses and the researcher has closely observed and completed the observation sheet. After collecting the data, the results were analyzed by 2 tests with P<0.05. The results stated that: there is a relation between the change of place and tube of serum, so by increasing period for changing the place of serum the phelibitis is occurancing ratio. Between the pt, s sex in two group and phelibitis wasn’t relation. There is relation between patients ages and complication in the both group, so in small children incidence of complication is higher. In the type of solution, volume of received liquid and place of serum with phelibitis in both groups is related with complication. There is no difference between the change of serum tube and place. In this study, same as other referencespatients, age, change of serum place and serum tube, duration of hospitalization, volume of received and the kind of serum is predisposing factors for phelibitis.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {2}, Number = {9}, pages = {1-5}, publisher = {Arak University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://jams.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-6595-en.html}, eprint = {http://jams.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-6595-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Arak University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {1735-5338}, eissn = {2008-644X}, year = {1999} } @article{ author = {Chehrei, Ali and Danayi, Navid and Birashk, Behrouz}, title = {Establishment of Knowledge Level about the Ways of Transmission and Prevention of AIDS in 15-50-Year-Old People in Arak & Simnan}, abstract ={Nowadays AIDS represents as a major problem in the world due to the lack of its cure, The best way to fight against AIDS is prevention and the way for prevention is to give health education to the people. The education proves fruitful only when it would be based on the realities of the society; and to reach this goal we have to collect the information present for the society for this purpose steps have been taken to investigate about the health information in the society. This research has been performed cross- sectionally. The data collection was based on the questionarre with multiple chocie questions (MCQ) and initially flowchart was drawn and marks were given according to the opinions of the teachers, also reliability and continuous validity was calculated in this pilot study. The sample size was composed of 1900 participants. The sampling was mulitistaged, where the first stage was stratified and the second was clustering. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS. During the research the researchers acted upon the medical ethics. Among the cases taken into consideration 55/6% were males and 46.2% were females and the mode of age group ranged from 20 to 29 years. Also the ratio of married to unmarried was 36.2%, 63.8%. The highest marks obtained were 105 and the mean level of knowledge among the participants was 24.93(23.17-26.81). This information level did not differ too much among different groups. The unmarried cases had much more information than the married ones(p<0.0001, eta=0.49), but remarkable distinction (p<0.0001) was noted among different occupational groups. According to the results the people of Simnan & Arak held the low information level especially about the second and third levels of prevention. With respect to the wide spectrum of knowledge about prevention of AIDS in the society, the initial step is to intervence through general method telecommunication newspapers etc. and then, on the occupational basis divide them into smaller educational groups giving special education.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {2}, Number = {9}, pages = {6-13}, publisher = {Arak University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://jams.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-6596-en.html}, eprint = {http://jams.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-6596-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Arak University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {1735-5338}, eissn = {2008-644X}, year = {1999} } @article{ author = {HekmatPou, Davoo}, title = {Bacteria and Viruses that Cause Respiratory Tract Infections during the Pilgrimage (Haj) season in Makkah , Saudi Arabia}, abstract ={This research has conducted to determine the incidence and type of RTI causing bacteria and viruses during a period of epidemic infections. A total of 395 sputum specimens and 761 throat swabs were collected during the 1991 and 1992 pilgrimage seasons (Haj to Makkah Al- Mukarama, Saudi Arabia) from patients referred to one hospital and three dispensaries with symptoms of repiratory tract infections. All 761 throat swabs of both Haj seasons were also screened for the presence of viral pathogens with monoclonal antibodies specific for 7 viruses known to cause repiratory infections. Bacterial pathogens were detected in 118 (29.9%) specimens. During the 1991 Haj season Haemophilus influenza was the most frequent bacterial pathogen detected (10%), followed by klebsiella pneumonia (5.2%), Streptococcus Pneumoniae (4.8%), Staphylococcus aureus (3.8%) and Streptococcus pyogenes (2.4%). In the 1992 Haj Season Klebsiella pneumona was predominant (15.1%), folloed by Haemophilus influenza and Streptocococcus pneumonia (12.3%) Screening of all sputum specimens for acid-fast bacteria showed that the overall incidence rate of tuberculosis was 1%. Cultures from the 761 throat swabs were largely negative for bacteria except for Streptococcus Pyogene isolated from 7 patients. Viruses were deyected in 148 (19.5%) specimens with influenza A and adenovirus being the most common viruses. The pattern of virus prevalence in the 1991 and 1992 pilgrimage seasons was identical: influenza A and adenovirus predominated.

This matter evoke the question of how cardiac glycosides have selective function without disturbance of function of the other body cells? A part of the answer of this question is relate to diversity of digitalis receptor in molecular level . Therefore a clear definition of relative selectivity of the cardiac glycosides is the presence of difference isoforms of sodium pump with low affinity.
