Abstract
Aberrant subclavian artery is a rare anomaly among all anomalies related to aortic arch. In some cases kind of aneurysm named Kommerell diverticulum, originated from right subclavian artery and left aortic arch and the opposite, left subclavian artery association with right aortic arch [1]. Right Aortic Arch(RAA) is a rare congenital anomaly with 0.5 to 1% of normal population. Almost half of the Cases associated with left aberrant subclavian artery and in some, aneurysmal changes in the origin of the artery is inevitable [2]. RAA is categorized in three groups : 1.RAA with left aberrant Subclavian artery2.RAA in mirror type.2.RAA with isolated LSA, which RAA with ILSA is a most rare by 0.8 % prevalence [3]. Left aberrant subclavian artery (LASA) is an anatomical variant of right aortic arch which is actually dispart from the RAA as a last branch and usually pass behind esophagus to the left upper limb. However, RASA associated with LAA is more common (0.5_2% of population) the LASA originated from RAA(0.05_0.1) [4]. Kommerells diverticulum or KD, is defined as a aneurysmal form of ASA or descending aorta in proximal part [5] .KD is a rare condition usually accompany RASA more than LASA [6, 7]. Up to now, few cases has reported. Burckhard F Kommerell was the first one who introduced kommerell in 1936 [8]. Anomalies of aortic arch not necessary influence health condition in childhood and some become symptomatic in adolescence [9]. These aneurysms could be strong threatening for some circumstances like dissection, rupture, emboli to distal parts, compression to adjacent or organs [1].

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in the land use of Amol at the time of 1986-2020. The effect of stimulant factors in the growth of the city determines that population and immigration from villages are considered as the most important factors in the growth of Amol city. Also, in the process of formation of the tissue of Amol, the primary core of the city after Islam has had a major role. The study of its growth process after the first Pahlavi shows that development of roads and commercial land uses distribution, especially around the main ways are another stimulant agent in the urban growth of Amol which also forms the pattern and form of growth in Amol city. The data provided from satellite imagery clearly identifies the growth of Amol from 1986 to 2020. The built-in area shows an annual increase of 15% (135 hectares per year). The expansion of the city has occurred in all respects, but it is more obvious along the main road to the nearby villages. Business/ service areas have been established along the roads which show the rapid decline in agricultural lands and vegetable areas. Also, changes in agriculture in Amol and in rural settlements merged in the city and the central part of Amol city is seen under the influence of urban expansion and development.

Abstract
Aims: Quality of Life (QOL)is a basic and pervasive term for the quality of the various domains in human life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of skeletal-muscular pains on the quality of life in nursing and midwifery students.
Method and Instruments: This cross-sectional study was done in 120 nursing and midwifery students of Tehran University of Medical sciences (TUMS) aged between 18-22 years old. The students were selected by simple random sampling. They standard Nordic pain questionnaire and WHO-quality of life scales were applied to collect data. Mean / standard Deviation (SD) and T test were used to analyze data through SPSS-25 software.
Findings: The findings of tis study showed that midwifery students were better than nursing students in social health and environmental health, but in other quality of life dimensions, both students were almost similar (P>0.05). Moreover, the rate of musculoskeletal pain in nursing and midwifery students was almost the same. There was no significant difference between students` quality of life dimensions based on having or not having musculoskeletal pain (P>0.05).
Conclusion: To conclude, it seems that Skeletal-muscular pains do not have a significant effect on students’ quality of life due to their youth.

Abstract
Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is, one of due to vaginitis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted and treatable infection in the world. Co- infection of T. vaginalis along with other agents of vaginitis should always be considered in patients with chronic vulvovaginal symptoms.
Case: An Iranian woman with 32 years of age and signs of vaginitis infection referred to a midwifery clinic in Bandar Abbas. While she used antifungal and antibacterial medications many times during the past two years to treat her vaginitis infection, but since her husband did not do so, all the clinical signs of her infection reappeared again after a short time. A miscarriage, genital warts in the lower end of the uterus (cervix), yellowish-green foamy secretion, and vigorous redness of the lower end of the uterus were among the problems reported in her medical record. To diagnose the disease, sampling was done from the posterior fornix of vagina and using direct smear and Diamond culture medium, the specimen was examined for the presence of T. vaginalis by a specialist in parasitology. Based on the direct smear test results, the specimen was positive for yeast and bacteria and negative for T. vaginalis, while culture test result was positive for the presence of T. vaginalis. Therefore, the woman referred to a physician qualified in gynecology for her infection therapy, but this time with her husband. The duration of their treatment was three months, after which the culture test result (after 72 h) was negative for T. vaginalis, and the clinical signs of the infection ameliorated.
Conclusion: It is recommended that, in addition to careful examination of patients’ clinical symptoms, direct smear and culture methods be employed in midwifery centers to correctly diagnose vaginitis. In addition, the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in people involved in a sexual relationship should be done simultaneously.

Abstract
Backgrounds: Plasmodium species are the causative agents of malaria, which is considered as a mosquito-borne infectious disease transmitted by anopheles mosquitoes. It is endemic in the southern and south-eastern areas of the country. This study aimed to report a case of imported malaria infection in a Pakistani man in Bandare Kong located in the central region of Bandar Lengeh County in Hormozgan province, Iran.
Case presentation: A Pakistani male fisherman aged 21 years referred to a general practitioner in Bandare kong with symptoms such as a long-lasting fever that worsened every 2 days. He underwent a malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT), and the result of which was positive. Therefore, for further malaria testing, he was dispatched to Shohada hospital in Bandar Lengeh. All the laboratory tests findings were in an acceptable range, except for direct bilirubin titer, which was higher than the normal range (0.3 mg/dL) (< 0.2 mg/dL=normal). Blood smear test results also showed P. falciparum-associated malaria infection. According to the malaria therapy protocols followed in the hospital, 24 coartem pills at a dose of 4 pills per 12 hours were administered to the patient for 3 days, and then primaquine was administered simultaneously after three days, resulting in a rapid reduction in the parasitic load so that it could not be detected after 2 days.
Conclusion: In recent decades, most malaria patients diagnosed in Iran have been infected cases entered Iran from neighboring countries where malaria is endemic. Therefore, early diagnosis and therapy of imported malaria cases in endemic areas of Iran is essential and makes it possible to implement malaria preventive and control measures.
