الملخص (بالإنجليزية): The current study aimed to investigated the relationships between Mentalization skills and each of body image disorder and interpersonal influence relationships among a sample of obese females in Saudi Arabia; It also aimed to investigated the mediating role of the variable of Mentalization skills in the relationship between body image disorder and interpersonal influence relationships in a sample of obese females in Saudi Arabia. The study Method the descriptive correlational approach, the study sample consisted of (120) obese girls and women in Saudi Arabia, whose weight exceeded (100) kilograms. whose ages ranged from (16-53) years, with an average age of (34.97), and a standard deviation of (7.54). A battery of psychological measures and tools was applied (translated by the researcher) consisting of a scale of Mentalization skills by Dimitrijevic, et, al. (2018); a battery of difficulties of interpersonal influence relationships by Akyunus & Gencoz (2016), and a body image scale by Jalali-Farahani, et al. (2022); This is in addition to the initial interview data form. The data were analyzed statistically through simple Pearson correlation coefficients, and a structural equation modeling method using (AMOS 20) program. The results of the study indicated that there is(1) a direct, negative and statistically significant effect at the level of 0.01 between body image disorder and Mentalization skills.(2) And there is a direct, negative and statistically significant effect at the level of 0.05 between Mentalization skills and interpersonal influence relationships.(3) There is a positive and statistically significant direct and indirect effect at the level of 0.05 between body image disorder and interpersonal effect relationships. This empirically supports the emergence of a partial mediating role through the indirect and direct influence of Mentalization skills in the relationship between body image disorder and interpersonal influence relationships in obese females. The results of the study were discussed according to the theoretical and applied indications of psychological intellectual production in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Background and purpose: The rate of carbohydrate absorption after a meal, as quantified by glycemic index, has an effect on postprandial hormonal and metabolic response. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of low-glycemic index diet, versus low-fat diet on the body weight, BMI, WHR (waist/hip ratio) and plasma lipid profile of obese patients. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled trial compared the effect of two dietary treatments (low glycemic index & low fat) in 46 adults, ages 18 to 55 years old, BMI >27, who proceeded to Motahary Clinic in Shiraz, Iran. Body weight, BMI, WHR (waist/hip ratio), fast and post-prandial Plasma lipid profile (Triacylglycerol, total Cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C concentration) level of obese women were measured at the beginning and end of 6 weeks. Results: Changes in Body weight, BMI, WHR (waist/hip ratio) and Plasma lipid profile (Triacylglycerol, total Cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C concentration) were significant in both dietary groups. But no significant differences were observed in any parameter measured between two groups, except for the post-prandial HDL-C in which significant difference were observed. Conclusion: From these findings, it can be concluded that the isolated bacterial strain can utilize Organ phosphorus pesticides as a source of carbon and phosphorus. Utilization of these compounds by soil microorganisms is a crucial phenomenon by which these compounds are removed from the environment, thus, preventing environmental pollution. Both diets can equally be effective in decreasing the body weight and Plasma lipid profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Background and purpose: Ultra sonography is the method of choice in pre-natal diagnosis of fetal anomalies; however, sonography has limitations in oligohydramnios, maternal obesity and complex fetal anomalies. MRI, is a method with high contrast resolution, large FOV for fetus, placenta and uterine, along with multiplanar images. The aim of our study is to compare the sonographic and MRI findings in fetal anomalies by two radiologists who perform MRI test to show additional data relative to sonograpgy. Materials and methods: This research was a case series study and performed in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari in year 84-86. All pregnant women with gestational age of more than 20 years were evaluated with sono-graphically for fetal anomalies by one radiologist. Additionally, patients with abnormal fetuses were evaluated with MRI testing and the MRI films were examined again after birth. The sonographic and MRI findings were matched together. Results: The fetal anomalies in this study include: CNS abnormalities 47%, urinary tract abnormalities 39% and gastrointestinal abnormalities 14%. Conclusion: The sonography and MRI findings were similar in 60.8% of cases studied; sonographic findings were more than MRI in 8.6% of cases. MRI findings showed more than sonography in 30.4% of cases presented. Thus, MRI has a complimentary role in pre-natal diagnosis of fetal anomalies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Background and purpose: Literature review indicates that antibiotic resistance of bacteria may be associated with the resistance to host natural immunity. In the previous study we found that: all meningococcal isolates of meningitis cases are less sensitive to typical anti-meningococcal antibiotics. In present study, the association of the above characters was analyzed in an ex-vivo "case-control" study. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled trial compared effect two dietary treatments (low glycemic index & low fat) in 46 adults, ages 18-55 years old, BMI >27,who proceed to motahary clinic in shiraz, Iran. Body weight, BMI, WHR (waist/hip ratio), fast and post-prandial Plasma lipid profile (Triacylglycerol, total Cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C concentration) level of obese women measured at the beginning and at the end 6 weeks. Results: The resistance of both groups against selected sera were similar in the ratio 1:2- by SIC and SBC methods. The growth of "test" and "control" groups in the pooled sera were stopped at the ratios 1:512 and 1:1024 respectively. In SBA the population of "test" and "control" groups decreased in parallel to each other. However, the invasive (test) meningococcal strains established slower reduction in WBA. Conclusion: Studies on the correlation between antibiotic resistance of bacteria and the resistance to the natural immunity have ended with different results. According to our experience, it seems that for ex- vivo investigation of natural immunity against meningococci the WBA is more reliable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
