Abstract
Medicine is one of the few disciplines which flourished during the Islamic era especially during the first three centuries. The presence of Jundi Shapour physicians and the support of few Abbasside Caliphates helped this branch of science grow rapidly during this period. With the Buyid Dynasty coming into power and taking the control of western parts of the country especially Baghdad, the capital city of Islamic empire, these changes became faster. Therefore, the study of medical activities at the time of Buyid Dynasty as a link in the chain between the pre-Islamic era and the post-Islamic period can be of paramount importance.
This thesis aims to study the hospitals operative at this period. The findings show that the incessant support of Buyid Rulers especially Azoddoleh greatly boosted the hygienic and health conditions of the society. The consequence of this support led to the attraction of qualified physicians and scientists who despite various problems could greatly contribute to the medical science by writing books, translating reference books etc., an achievement which established the foundation of western medical science later

Abstract
The history of medicine in Iran goes back to the pre-Islam era. The first medical education center named Jundi Shapur University, which played a major role in formation and development of medical sciences, was founded during the Sassanid rule. This university continued to be a thriving scientific center after the Arabs’ conquest of Persia but after two centuries of chaos and disorder when the Abbasids took power, the accomplishments of this university were virtually transferred to the center of the Muslim world. Medicine after the advent of Islam was enhanced with the merging of several scientific categories including Greek, Hippocrates and Galen’s medicine, and developed with the support of the rulers of the time such as Harun al-Rashid and Ma’mun. Gradually, the Muslim world physicians managed to write independent medical works and the first steps on this path were taken in the form of comprehensive and general encyclopedias. With the advent of the Buyid Dynasty whose rulers supported this field of science, grounds were set for specialization of medicine and emergence of new branches of this science. Therefore, understanding the status of medicine in the Buyid era, which was relying on change and specialization-based developments, is of paramount importance.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional bowel disorder associated with recurrent abdominal pain and changes in the stool appearance or frequency of bowel movements. There are reports of alleviation of IBS symptoms using traditional medicine. In order to use the recommendations related to lifestyle modification and traditional treatments, it is necessary to find the relative terms of IBS in Persian Medicine. The purpose of this study is to find keywords similar to IBS in Persian Medicine.
Materials and Methods: The main symptoms of IBS were searched in Persian medicine and conventional medicine. Disorders with similarity to IBS were extracted and the items with maximum overlap were selected and compared with ROME IV criteria. Furthermore, IBS along with keywords relating to Persian medicine were searched in electronic databases. All stages were performed under supervision of five experts in Persian medicine, and three gastroenterologist specialists.
Results: "Qulanj" and "Maghs" are the most similar disorders to IBS in Persian medicine with main symptoms of abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Based on the present investigation, "Qulanj" is associated with constipation, while "Maghs" can occur with or without diarrhea. Some types of "Qulanj" and "Maghs" were excluded because of their similarity to non-functional bowel disorders.
Conclusion: According to definition of IBS subtypes based on ROME IV criteria, it seems that " Qulanj" and " Maghs" are similar to IBS-C and IBS-D, respectively. Cross-sectional studies are recommended to investigate the relationship between IBS subgroups and the corresponding diseases proposed by this study.
