Abstract
Introduction: Gastric cancer is considered as one of the most prevalent cancers, such that in our country it is on the top of prevalent cancers. Because of the high prevalence of this cancer in north of Iran, in spite of its incidence decrease in many regions of the world, we decided to determine the epidemiological and malignancy properties of gastric cancer in this region
Methods: This research is a descriptive study (based on existing data). The study population consisted of gastric cancer patients referred to oncology clinic at Ramsar Imam Sajjad hospital during 2002- 2009. Necessary information was extracted from their medical files and pathology reports, and statistically analyzed.
Results: In this Study, 144 patients were assessed (103 males and 47 females). In 95.8% of patients, tumor was adenocarcinoma. In 45.1% tumor was located in antrum. In 48.6% tumor was poorly differentiated. 72.9% of subjects had positive lymphatic involvement. There was metastatic involvement in 31.9% of patients, and the most common organ for metastasis was liver. 46.5% of Patients were in stage 4 at the time of referring to hospital and in 38.2% of cases tumor has been progressed to T2 Level.
Conclusion: By considering this fact that most referring patients (46.5%) were in stage 4 when were diagnosed and had poorly differentiated carcinoma, it is recommended that people should consider abdominal discomfort as a serious problem and do necessary diagnostic methods especially in ages above 45 years with especial emphasis on early diagnosis of disease and reduction of death rate for at risk population.

Abstract
Introduction: Fatty liver disease is characterized by deposition of fat droplets in the liver of patients. According to some epidemiological studies BMI, amount of fat intake from foods and high central fat are risk factors of breast cancer. This issue is one of the factors that cause high incidence of fatty liver in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, all patients with breast cancer were evaluated who referred to Imam Sajjad hospital of Ramsar during 2008 - 2011. After initial review, 100 patients were enrolled. Those who were treated by chemotherapy underwent abdominal Sonography for evaluation of fatty liver. Also, those patients who also received tamoxifen in addition to chemotherapy, underwent abdominal ultrasonography 6 months after taking tamoxifen. After that, relationship between treatment of breast cancer and fatty liver in studied patients was evaluated based on obtained information.
Results: The study results revealed that after chemotherapy, 30 (30%) patients were reported to have fatty liver. Out of 70 people that after chemotherapy did not have fatty liver, 62 patients received tamoxifen and after taking tamoxifen, 45.2% developed fatty liver. Using Chi Square test, there was a significant relationship between fatty liver after receiving tamoxifen, hyperlipidemia (p=0.011) and getting overweight (P =0.017).
Conclusion: As the findings indicated, treatment of breast cancer especially with tamoxifen is associated with increased risk of fatty liver, especially in women who have hyperlipidemia and are overweight.

Abstract
Introduction: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) has a high prevalence in societies, taking into account subclinical symptoms, which can affect significantly the quality of life of individuals. The history of trauma to the joint or chin includes events leading to TMD. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative frequency of TMD in the patients with mandibular fracture in Yazd city, Iran, during 2015-2017.
Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study examined the data of 295 patients with mandibular trauma that referred to trauma management centers in Yazd during 2015-2017. The patients' information was recorded in the questionnaires consisting age, gender, cause of trauma, type and location of fracture, type of treatment and type of TMD. Finally, data were analyzed by SPSS software version 17 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
Results: The study included 225 males and 70 females. The mean age of the patients was 25 years. In addition, the relative frequency of temporomandibular joint sounds and mandibular deviation in mouth opening was greater than other disorders.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the mandibular fracture caused by traffic collision seems to increase the risk of TMD.
