Abstract
This manuscript is a glance at the life of the sage hakim, Isa-Ibn Ali-Ibn Jazla, who was one of the famous scientists of the fifth Hijra century. The data presented are gathered and arranged by investigation of some reliable references. Besides medicine, he was an expert in literature and philosophy. However, most of his works dealt with medicine. One of his main books is the valuable text of Taqwim al-Abdan, which was creatively arranged like the stars in astronomical tables. After he converted to Islam, he wrote works in praise of Islam on the basis of verses of the old and new testaments. He died in 934 A.H.

Abstract
One of the major works of Ibn Nafis, or in other words, his only book on ophthalmology is “Al-Mahzab fi al-Kohl al-Mojarrab.” In an introduction and two sections, the book addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of ophthalmology and simple and compound ophthalmic drugs and their formulations. In this book, Ibn Nafis deals with the scientific aspects of vision, and by rejecting the hypotheses of his predecessors, he proposed new hypotheses, which were scientific and novel for his time. His vision theory complements the theory proposed by Ibn Al-Haytham. Furthermore, he discussed the hypotheses provided by other scientists, and extended them in ten chapters. He also proposed some new ideas about ocular diseases and diplopia. In this paper, which is based on the manuscript of the book, we have attempted to evaluate the book chapters. Furthermore, the vision theory of Al Nafis was compared with those of his predecessors and his novel contributions were introduced

Abstract
Pain is the first sign of many diseases and is the most common cause of cosulting the doctor. Throughout the history, physicians have been trying to find a rapid and certain way of relieving the pain. In this study, pain mechanisms including variable intemperament and loss of continuity were analyzed from Iranian traditional medicine perspective. Furthermore, sedative drugs were categorized into true and untrue drugs.
True drugs tend to overcome diseases and promote recovery, while the untrue drugs lead in reliving the pain temporarily with two mechanisms either moistening and to put to sleep or narcosis. The indications and the method for using these drugs are determined by the severity of the pains, the patient’s tolerance, and the involved organ. It seems that the recognition of the main cause of pains with different origins and the true drugs to relive them can decrease the use of sedative and narcotic drugs which are expensively consumed orally or as an intravenous injection.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: The Traditional Medicine of Iran is based on temperament. As a significant factor in creating individual differences, temperament can be effective in sports performance of human beings. The purpose of this study was to compare warm and cold temperaments with anaerobic power, anaerobic threshold and relative maximum power.
Methods and Materials: A descriptive study was conducted on 40 dormitory single students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad who had not regular exercise for at least past six months. Volunteers were young healthy men in the age range of 18 to 22 years. Using a standard questionnaire, their temperament was determined. Anaerobic power was measured using Rast test while anaerobic threshold value and relative maximum power were measured by Dmax method and by hamstring muscles evaluation with bodybuilder, respectively.
Results: The number of warm tempered people was 21 and cold tempered people were 19. Significant differences were observed in cold and warm temperament groups in peak power, mean power, minimum anaerobic power (p<0.05), and maximum power (p=0.016) which was 0.61±0.07 kg in warm tempered people and 0.54±0.06 kg in cold tempered people. Moreover, the results showed that anaerobic threshold in warm temperament people (with a mean of 163.7±4.9 beats per minute) and cold temperaments (with a mean of 167.2±4.1 beats per minute) is significantly different (p=0.019).
Conclusion: It seems that warm tempered people have a relatively higher power in comparison to cold tempered people. They also have better anaerobic power. However, cold tempered people have an anaerobic threshold higher than those with warm temperament.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Plant effective substances (secondary metabolites) are affected by plant growth environment. The properties of the medicinal species are attributed to the presence of secondary metabolites. Identifying medicinal species, recording and revitalizing herbal traditions and educating people on the proper harvesting of these plants will lead to optimal use of their effective ingredients. The aim of this study was to identify the medicinal species of Aleshtar (Lorestan province) and introduce their traditional and modern uses.
Materials and Methods: Medicinal species were collected and identified in the cold and mountainous regions of the study area. Traditional uses, as well as their applications in modern medicine, achieved through interviews with native people, traditional herbal healers, and investigation of reliable scientific sources. Data were collected by survey method and interviews were conducted with semi-structured questions. Two quantitative methods were used to determine the importance of medicinal species and to show information homogeneity: Use Value (UV) and Informant Consensus Factor (ICF).
Results: In this study, 202 medicinal species were identified that belong to 52 families and 143 genera. Among the species identified, 20 plant species had the highest use value. Azgovāh (Thymus kotschyanus Boiss & Hohen), Bon sor (Allium jesdianum Boiss.) and Mokhalesa (Tanacetum kotschyi Boiss.) had the highest UV. The most ICF was in the Category of Digestive problems followed by the common cold, fever, and influenza. A list of the scientific name, general (Vernacular) name, used parts of plant, UV and IFC values, method of preparation and application in traditional and modern medicine was prepared.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Medical Library and Information Sciences are an auxiliary field in medical sciences that have undergone significant development in recent years. Increasing generation of information in a variety of formats is a major challenge, that demands referring to databases. Hence, information storage and retrieval systems seek to address these needs using tools such as thesauri. On the other hand, among the triad sources of Persian medicine, folk medicine had not received much attention so far. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer the need to develop a Persian folk Medicine Thesaurus.
Materials and Methods: This research, based on a descriptive-analytical method, attempts to show lack of attention to this branch of human knowledge while sorting the thesauri in the classification and the division of sciences. Also. it explains the theoretical and valid foundations of compiling controlled thesauri by searching reference texts in Library & Information Sciences.
Results: A relatively large corpus of thesauri in different categories of science and technology (especially thesauri in the sub-categories of medical sciences, medical history, health promotion, first aid, etc.) has been prepared and compiled in Persian language, and software and hardware facilities and infrastructures has been provided to some degree. Nonetheless, lack of a codified thesauri is very noticeable in the field of folk culture, anthropology and ethnography in Persian.
Conclusion: Compilation of thesauri in specific topics is foreseen and recommended in reference texts and thesaurus. Considering the increasing volume of information produced in Persian in the field of folk medicine and the availability of various infrastructures, it is necessary to compile a Persian folk medicine thesaurus.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: The relationship between health of the heart, liver and brain, and nutrition is undeniable. A holistic medical school that lies on the basis of a multitude of several thousand years of experience, Persian medicine has studied the role of nutrition in health maintenance of the brain, heart, and liver. The purpose of this study is to describe and explain the role of foods and drinks in maintaining the health of these organs from the perspective of traditional Persian medicine.
Materials and Methods: The studied material included twenty reference books in traditional Persian medicine composed in different centuries (from the first to 14th century, AH), some of which were accessed from Noor software. Modern literature was also queried in well-known international databases (in English) within the period of 1999 to 2020. The searching process was conducted based on related keywords. Retrieved data were collected and analyzed by analytical-documentary method.
Results: Useful principles in maintaining heart health include eating tender (latif), delicious non-drying foods and observing the principles in drinking water. To keep the liver healthy, it is recommended to eat foods that do not upset the balance of humors and do not cause dystemperaments. In maintaining the health of the brain, use of tender (latif) foods and drinks are recommended. Consumption of foodstuff that produce harmful vapors in the body, exposure to bad odors, and overeating are prohibited. Some of these findings were also observed in modern medicine research regarding the effects of Saffron and dried figs as well as principles of eating and drinking.
Conclusion: This study highlights the crucial importance of nutrition in improving functions of the liver, heart and brain, and protecting these organs from developing diseases. It seems necessary to conduct more research focusing on the effect of different types of foods and beverages on maintaining the health of these organs.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: There are slightly different and diverse names for diseases in Persian medical sources. Among them, learning about native words for a simple disease such as "wart" includes anthropological values as well. Not only physicians and medical historians, but also many anthropologists, folklore researchers, and even lexicographers have been involved in the issue of nomenclature multiplicity.
Materials and Methods: In this research, numerous and various names for "wart" were collected initially, applying library research, review methods, and referring to resources on the history of medicine in Iran, including texts of medical history, traditional and folk medicine; Subsequently, these words were classified and analyzed through historical-comparative linguistic axioms and anthropological methods.
Results: The words related to "wart" are divided into six main groups, one minor geographical category and two main groups, one minor linguistic-dialect class. Since naming any disease is the initial step in diagnosis, these words indicate immemorial and ancient medical systems; therefore, developing a historical atlas of ancient medical subcultures in Iran is achievable by illustrating the reason for diverse nomenclature of each disease including "wart".
Conclusion: The elaboration of word classification related to "wart" and their function to reveal subcultures is so significant that it could be considered as one of the most important indicators of ethnomedical knowledge in any region of Iran. Regarding linguistic transformations and similarity rates to original words, another classification can be suggested to illuminate the antiquity of ethnomedicine in each geographical location in the country.

Abstract
Astronomers have made predictions based on the study of astrological signs as well as movement of planets and stars and their influence on Earth, and have argued it according to astronomy. This science was initially the exclusive domain of astronomers, but gradually expanded to the field of medicine and treating the patients. The subjects related to the well-known astrological signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces) in the zodiac and planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon) in the solar system have a special effect according to Persian Medicine. The most important applications included recognizing the suitable moment for medical affairs, including determining the time of symptom onset in patients, composing drugs, prescribing pharmaceutical drugs, medicine consumption at the suitable moment, and finally restoring patient health. Astrological concepts that are more prominent in handwritten texts of three great Iranian sages, Abu Rayhan Biruni, Sayyid Isma‘il Jurjani, and Aqili Shirazi, are those related to predicting auspicious (sa'd) and infelicitous (nahs) moments for medical affairs.
