One of the major treatments for many diseases is organ transplantation. The objective of this study was to determine factors related to register as organ donors among Iranian college student based on the theory of planned behavior. This cross-sectional study was con-ducted on 320 college students in Hamadan University of medical sciences. Participants filled out a standard self-administered ques-tionnaire including the expanded theory of planned behavior components. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 using correlation, linear and logistic regression statistical tests at 95% significant level. Our result showed 6.6% of participants reported registered as an organ donor card. The most of participants have reported save people life most effective factor that motivation them to register as an or-gan donor card. The TPB variable, accounted for 33% of the variation in the outcome measure of the intention to organ donor card regis-tered. The best predictor for organ donor card registered was subjective norm with odds ratio estimate of 1.23 [95% CI: 1.04, 1.44]. Comprehensive educational programs need to emphasize on psychological factors that mediate and predict behaviors. According to the results, donor organ associated with subjective norms in community; It seems special attention to importance culture in the organ dona-tion to save human lives utilizes by influence persons at community, could be benefit results.

Caesarean section is the most common surgical procedure in obstetrics, and its application is rising in the entire world. The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of traditional and Misgav-Ladach techniques in caesarean section. This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 186 cases of primary elective and emergency C-Section over 37 weeks of gestation in Imam Reza Hospital in 2010. The pregnant women were randomized into two groups: 1.traditional 2. Misgav-Ladach. Both groups were similar in terms of age and BMI. The major outcomes were studied duration of surgery, such as fetal extrusion time, blood loss during surgery, need for blood transfusion and analgesics, duration of bowel function restoration, persistent fever after surgery, use of antibiotics, endometritis and wound complications. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test was used to evaluation of the normality of quantitative data. Variables with normal distribution were analyzed by using parametric test (independent t-test) and Variables with non-normal distribution were analyzed by using non-parametric (Man withny - U test). Chi-square and Fisher’s test were used to determine the relationship between qualitative variables. The Misgav-Ladach group had significantly smaller duration of surgery, fetal extrusion time, antibiotics use, and length of hos-pital stay after surgery compared to the traditional group. This study showed that Misgav-Ladach technique can be used as a substitute for traditional methods in cases of elective or emergency C-Section.
