Abstract
Introduction: Idiopathic osteosclerosis is a common radiopaque lesion in the jaw bones, which is asymptomatic and usually detected accidentally in various radiographs. The purpose of this study was to determine the radiographic features of idiopathic osteosclerosis in the jawbones of patients referring to the maxillofacial radiology center of Mashhad Dental Faculty.
Methods: In this descriptive study, panoramic radiographs of 300 patients ( 125 males, 175 females ) who had referred to the maxillofacial radiology department were evaluated for the presence of idiopathic osteosclerosis. The radiographic information included location, number, shape, size, relationship with teeth, pattern of density ( trabecular-cortical ) and demographic data ( age, sex ) and evidence of disease in the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys were also recorded . Then data was analyzed using chi-square and t-student test.
Results : A total of 27 patients (9%), exhibited 40 foci of idiopathic osteosclerosis with different shapes and sizes (4 cm2 to 1/09 cm 2 ), most of which had well defined borders (65%) and trabecular density (62/5%) .
The most common region for these lesions was in the mandible, especially in the second premolar (47/5%) and first molar (42/5%) regions and the majority had no connection to the teeth (57/5%). The lesions were most prevalent in the second decade of life (29/6%) followed by third and fourth decades. (25/9%)
Conclusion: The results of this study were the same as that of previous similar studies. In addition, chronic renal failure was seen in 1/3 of patients with idiopathic osteosclerosis .

Abstract
Introduction: The proportion of older adults in the population continues to grow in the developing countries. In addition, persons at or over the age of 60 years have decreased quality of life in geriartrics because of several factors, such as low physical activity and impairment in mobility. This study was performed to assess the effect of group-based exercise program on physical functional independency in order to finally increase the quality of life in older adults.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in old women and men in 2005-2007. In this study, 50 elderly men and women were randomly divided into two groups experimental (25) and control (25).Group-based exercise program was administrated to the individuals of experimental group for 8 weeks (3 time a week) and subsequently using SF-36 questionnaire, the level of quality of life was measured in the two groups at the beginning and the end of the study. The data was analyzed using manvitni , chi-square and nonparametric tests.
Results: Using group-based exercise program, increase in mean level of quality of life in different dimensions physical functional, role functional, pain, general health, emotional well-being, social functional , emotional functional and mental health was statistically significant(p<0.01),whereas in the control group ,these parameters, were unchanged(p>0.01).
Conclusion: Our study results showed that use of a regular and prolonged exercise program can increase the level of quality of life in older adults in different dimensions.

Abstract
Introduction: In this randomized prospective study, 2% - diltiazem topical gel and 0.03% -GTN ointment were compared in patients with chronic anal fissure.
Methods: This semi-experimental study consisted of sixty six outpatients (34 females and 32 males) with chronic anal fissure, who referred to the gastroenterology clinic. Patients were randomly classified into two groups. Group A received GTN ointment (0.03%), whereas group B was treated with Diltiazem gel (2%). The treatment was administered twice daily for 8 weeks. Healing and side-effects were recorded to be compared after 8 weeks.
Results: In group A, the anal fissure was thoroughly healed within 53.3% of patients, moderately healed for 6.7% of patients and not healed in 25.8% of patients. Moreover, side-effects were noted in 15(46.9%) patients (P= 0.482). Two (6.2%) patients had intolerable headache and discontinued the study, 11 (34.3%) patients suffered from headache and 2 patients (6.2%) were reported to have orthostatic hypotension.
In group B, healing occurred in 21(67.7%) out of 31 patients and 1 (3.2%) case of headache was
noted(P= 0.0001).
Conclusion: The present study has demonstrated that topical diltiazem can be preferable to GTN owing to the absence of side-effects.

Abstract
Introduction: Complete denture is a type of dental prosthesis that is used to restore function and beauty in patients with complete edentulousness. Problems after denture delivery are common and involve the patient and the dentist, and post-delivery care is often overlooked by most students and dentists. The aim of this study was to investigate the common problems of the patients with complete dentures referred to the Prosthesis Department of Birjand Dental School and their relationship with variables such as sex, age, etc.
Methods: In this descriptive analytical study 46 patients participated, 26 patients were male and 20 were female. The patients ranged in age from 33 to 90 years. These patients had previously been treated in the ward by students with complete prosthetics. Patients were asked the questions in the questionnaire. After collecting the data, the data were entered into SPSS software version 16 and reported as a percentage of relative frequency. Then, Chi-square or Fisher test was used to examine the relationship between qualitative variables. (P≤0.05).
Results: The results showed that 3 of the most common problems included food retention (52%), lack of retention (50%), and pain (34.8%). But in most cases, there was no significant difference was seen among gender, age, patient motivation to refer, etc.
Conclusion: According to the results, the most common problems after denture delivery are food retention and lack of retention, which need to be reduced to identify the etiology and their causes.
