Evaluation of microbial contamination and chemical qualities of cream-filled pastries in confectioneries of Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari province (southwestern Iran)
High consumption of bakery products such as cream-filled pastries may cause a serious health risks and food poisoning to humans. Therefore, investigation of microbial and chemical qualities of bakery products containing cream is necessary. The purpose of the present study was to investigation of chemical qualities and microbial contaminations of cream-filled pastries that collected from confectioneries of six cities in Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari province (Southwestern Iran).

Fallen Flowers
Suicide is a serious social and health problem in Korea [1]. According to a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [2], Korea had the highest suicide rate with nearly 30 deaths per 100,000 population. Many studies have found that suicidal ideation and attempts among lesbians, gay men, and bisexual persons are higher than among heterosexual individuals (or general populations) [3-6]. In addition, these groups have comparatively higher levels of stress and depression. (Source: Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives)

Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone-Resistance (qnr) Genes in Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli Collected from Several Hospitals of Qazvin and Zanjan Provinces, Iran
Escherichia coli is regarded as the most important etiological agent of urinary tract infections. Fluoroquinolones are routinely used in the treatment of these infections; however, in recent years, a growing rate of resistance to these drugs has been reported globally. The aims of this study were to detect plasmid-mediated qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS genes among the quinolone-nonsusceptible E. coli isolates and to investigate their clonal relatedness in Qazvin and Zanjan Provinces, Iran.

Comparing Two Methods of Cryotherapy and Intense Pulsed Light with Triamcinolone Injection in the Treatment of Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars: A Clinical Trial
Keloid and hypertrophic scars are abnormal manifestations of wounds that occur following skin injuries in the form of local proliferation of fibroblasts and increased production of collagen. There are several ways to cure these scars; treatment must be selected based on the nature of the scars. In this clinical trial, two methods —cryotherapy and intense pulsed light (IPL)—are compared in the treatment of scars, and the results are presented in terms of improvement level, complications, and patient satisfaction.
