Abstract
In the Abbasid era, the translation movement provided the ground for familiarity of Muslim physicians with the main medical textbooks of the Greek medicine. Reviewing the books of medical history after Islam, it can be concluded that the roots of many post-Islam institutions in medical education originate from the conventional educational methods in the ancient Greece. In fact, Muslims adopted many methods of the Greeks in the field of theoretical education, while Muslims were influenced the least in the area of practical education. Muslims adopted the conventional methods of medical education in Greece, and also brought about some innovations in the field. Furthermore, in the first seven Hijrah centuries, the main educational sources in all levels, elementary to advanced, were Greek medical textbooks. However, Muslims were innovative in giving students’ examinations. Herein, we address the issue that along with getting familiar with the Greek medical textbooks, the Muslim physicians became acquainted with medical education approaches in the ancient Greece, and these methods became the origin of many medical education methods of Muslims.

Abstract
Considering the modern lifestyle (including the diets, lack of physical activity, overweight, so on), joint diseases are among the common disorders. In classical medicine, treatment of joint disease mainly includes "maintenance therapy." The current study addresses joint disorders from the viewpoint of Traditional Iranian Medicine to provide different approaches for prevention and treatment of these disorders.
In the study, diagnostic and therapeutic methods of joint disorders in different centuries were collected. In Traditional Iranian Medicine, joint disorders are called "Oja-e Mafasel", and classified into two main categories of simple and material ones, each of which have several subcategories. Depending on the type of the disorder, specific prevention and treatment strategies are presented

Abstract
Health and prevention of diseases are gaining more and more significance, recently. In addition to physical and social aspects, psychological aspects are considered as the most important part of the health as well. According to World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete physical, social and psychological well-being. In other words, modern medicine believes that psychology has irrefutable effect on health, and without mental well-being, complete health could not be accessible. Among mental states, excitement is one of the most important issues. Anger, fear, sadness and joy are the main subjects of excitement. In order to improve the quality of life, major contribution is allocated to research on psychological aspects of human being life at the universities and research centers.
Like modern medicine, Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) has special attention to physical and mental conditions of human being. ITM believes in six health providing essential principles (SETEH ZAROREYEH) including climate, eating and drinking, sleeping and waking, motion and rest, retention and vomiting, and excitement. Excitement has a very important role among these principles either in prevention or treatment of diseases. This study resulted in providing definition and characteristics of excitement in general and anger, fear, sadness and joy in particular based on ITM manuscripts. Moreover, the importance of excitement and its effect on having better life as well as curing related diseases are discussed too.

Abstract
Background: Inflammation is a one of common medical problems. Inflammation is a part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimulants, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids are the main medications used to reduce pain and inflammation in damaged tissue, but they have a lot of side effects. Traditional medicine schools can be considered as a source of many new therapeutic methods and medicines. Furthermore, now today there are a large number of traditional pharmaceutical products used in the world for treatment of diseases. Extraction of Anethum Graveolens L. (Marham-e-Shevid) is used as a local application to reduce inflammation, however, profile of such drug are not fully understood. One of important test for dermal application is skin irritation and sensitization test. This study was designed to examine this test.
Material and Method: In this study, extraction of Anethum Graveolens L. (Marham-e-Shevid) was investigated in animals following standard procedures for irritation and sensitization tests.
Results: The skin irritation test on rabbits showed that this product is not irritant. Furthermore sensitization test on mice by the Mouse Ear Swelling Test (MEST) method revealed that Marham-e-Shevid to be non-sensitizer.
Discussion: Given the proven anti-inflammatory effects of this drug in the previous study and based on the results from this study suggest that this drug does not have dermatotoxicity side effects Therefore, this drug can be used as a topical anti-inflammatory product

Abstract
Introduction: To determine the serum Triglyceride and HDL cholesterol level resulting from consumption of inner part of Persian walnut (juglans regia L.) in Iran. This is the soft shell that separates cotyledon into four sections.
Materials and Methods: Eighty male and female subjects with high serum Triglyceride level between 200 to 499 mg/dl (2.26 to 5.64 mmol/L) were selected for this randomized placebo controlled clinical trial study. After matching for sex they were separated into two groups. Group A consumed capsules which contained 300 mg of inner part of walnut daily and group B received capsules containing 300 mg starch as placebo (control group). The duration of intervention was six weeks. Dietary intake of total energy, carbohydrate, fiber, total lipid, MUFA, PUFA, SFA and cholesterol was calculated through 24 h recall. It was done for each participant three times during study period.
After 12 hour overnight fasting serum triglyceride, non HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were checked prior to and six week after the beginning of the study.
Results: In group A serum triglyceride level showed a decrease of 18% from the baseline and HDL cholesterol was increased by %10 (p=0. 01, p=0. 02). No statistically significant change in other measured parameters was observed in the control group.
Conclusion: Inner part of walnut can decrease serum Triglyceride and increase HDL cholesterol level in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
From the point of traditional medicine, fighting against insects is with very significant matters. Almost all the methods we nowadays use to combat insects have been used in traditional medicine.
These methods include use of plant orally (3 plants), consume directly on the body or clothes (12 plants), and external uses. The external use is very important between these methods. The external use includes spraying liquid (21 species), spraying powder (13 species), vaporizing or incensing (20 species), making sorbent and lethal traps (4 plants) and smoking (26 plants). In addition to the previous plan of action, innovative techniques based on the behavioral aspects of insect’s biology can also be added. In Iranian traditional medicine, insect repellents have mostly pesticide ingredients. Also a number of plants effect on insect reproductive systems and prevent their proliferation. Based on this information in this paper, the traditional medicine of the 11 most important books in Persian and Arabic languages, which are written in the third century to the thirteenth, is used.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: It is believed that tuberculosis has been killing human beings for over 4000 years. After developing powerful drugs, scientists imagined it would be eradicated; but emerge of drug resistant strains changed the result. Thus the main aim of this study is to compare traditional and modern medicine in order to achieve new effective drugs on the basis of traditional medicine and natural origin.
Methods and Materials: This is a descriptive library study. The majority of references was searched and studied by the "comprehensive medicine software". Then the most recommended drugs pharmacology is explained according to traditional medicine researches. Either modern medicine drugs for TB treatment, in recent articles or other resources, are reviewed. For a better understanding of drugs mechanisms, structure and metabolism of mycobacterium is discussed.
Results: the most recommended drug in Islamic Iranian traditional medicine is garlic and donkey milk respectively. The garlic effective material, Allicine, targets many pathways in causing bacterium, and fortunately doesn't have serious side effects. Some of the most important drugs of modern medicine for TB treatment are Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Streptomycin and Ethambutol. Which all of them target a limited part of bacterium in addition to dangerous toxicities.
Conclusion: according to the drugs mechanisms, it’s a short way for bacterium to gain resistance against modern medicine drugs, by changing one pathway or target after a simple mutation. In comparison when facing with the natural drug, garlic, which targets multiple pathways simultaneously, it loses to survive. Finally comparing side effects, suggests designing of effective and less side effect drugs, by combining traditional and modern medicine.

Abstract
Persian Medicine (PM) offers a unique perspective on gynecological disorders, prompting the need for scientific validation of complementary approaches. This paper synthesizes research on the efficacy and safety of PM interventions for oligomenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding. This paper reports on a collaborative initiative involving PM experts and gynecology/obstetrics specialists. The program consisted of two expert panels addressing oligomenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding, employing the expert panel method. PM experts presented clinical trial papers relevant to each panel, facilitating a comprehensive review and critique of available scientific evidence. This process sparked a scientific discussion and exchange of opinions among the participating experts. Thirteen clinical trial articles had explored PM interventions in abnormal uterine bleeding, covering Persian Golnar, Golnar capsules, plantain, lentils, myrtle, purslane, pomegranate peel, frankincense-ginger, quince, ginger, chamomile, and cupping therapy. Additionally, nine articles on oligomenorrhea encompassed interventions like anise-celery, sesame, black seed oil, Fomentex herbal tea, Aslaq, oregano, fennel, Agnogel, and fennel plus dry cupping. Utilizing PM interventions for gynecologic diseases requires rigorous diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic measures. The necessity for further clinical trials is emphasized to confirm the effectiveness and safety of these interventions. Collaborative efforts between PM specialists and gynecologists are vital for the logical progression of PM within the health system.

Abstract
Telehealth is the use of electronic information and communication technologies to transfer medical information in order to provide healthcare services and medical education, and plays a key role in healthcare. Telehealth, the use of telecommunication technologies to deliver healthcare services, has a long and fascinating history in Iran. Its roots could be traced back to 120 years ago when the first medical information was transmitted using the telegraph. Telehealth is a growing rapidly, and is expected to play an important role in the future of healthcare. It is clear that telehealth has been relatively underutilized in developing countries. The promotion of telehealth in societies will only be achieved by raising awareness, and knowledge of the opportunities and limitations of telehealth. Additionally, attention to the role of policy makers should be considered.
