Ali Ghanjal Health Management Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Journal Article 1970 01 01 Musculoskeletal Disorders This category includes epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendinitis. Musculoskeletal Disorders can be caused by repetitively carrying heavy loads over a long period of time, doing heavy tasks with an improper posture, and even participating in sporting activities. Athletes are susceptible to MSDs, since they perform the same tasks over and over again through the course of training. Lifestyle Modification Lifestyle encompasses the ordinary activities of people in their daily lives and that can have an impact on their health. Through lifestyle choices, people may practice measures and activities that protect and promote their health and prevent diseases. Evidence suggests that the cause of many chronic diseases, such as Low Back Pain (LBP), is related to lifestyle and human behaviors. Accordingly, establishing health-promoting behaviors is one of the best ways that people can protect and manage their health [1-2]. Lifestyle behaviour change warrants being considered in musculoskeletal care including chronic pain management in that common lifestyle behaviours, often associated with conditions such as ischaemic heart disease, impact musculoskeletal health and functional capacity.musculoskeletal problems including the presence of chronic pain and exercise incapacity is associated with several lifestyle behaviour practices that are associated with lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases. These include smoking, unhealthy diet, unhealthy weight, poor sleep, and unmanageable stress [3-4].

Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aims: Postural abnormalities cause dysfunction. In this regard, lower extremity disorders such as flat- foot play a major role in creating lower extremity disorders. The present study evaluates the effect of a course of selected corrective exercise on the balance and performance of adolescent girls with a flat foot. Instruments & Methods:Subjects in this study included 30 students within the age range of 9-10 years old with flat -foot deformities who were randomly selected and divided into two groups of corrective exercise (age: 11.60 ± 1.02 years, height: 148.46±10.29 m, weight: 47.40±11.69 kg and body mass index: 21.42±11.92) and control (age: 11.40±0.95 years, height: 148.46±12.67 m, weight: 47.46±12.28 kg and body mass index: 21.37±4.28). Findings:Demographic data were collected through a questionnaire and Navicular drop method was used to assess flat- foot deformity. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequencies, central indices, and dispersion in the form of tables and graphs, and multivariate analysis of covariance was used to investigate the intergroup differences in research variables. The results showed that corrective program had a significant effect on functional tests and static balance with open and closed eyes (p<0.01). Conclusion: This study showed that corrective exercises were effective in improving balance and function of the studied-participants. Hence, it is suggested that therapists use different exercises related to the trunk and lower extremities in the form of corrective program to improve female adolescents’ deformities.

Jayran Zebaradst Cognitive Science Special Linguistics, Institute of Cognitive Sciences, Tehran ,Iran. Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aberrant subclavian artery is a rare anomaly among all anomalies related to aortic arch. In some cases kind of aneurysm named Kommerell diverticulum, originated from right subclavian artery and left aortic arch and the opposite, left subclavian artery association with right aortic arch [1]. Right Aortic Arch(RAA) is a rare congenital anomaly with 0.5 to 1% of normal population. Almost half of the Cases associated with left aberrant subclavian artery and in some, aneurysmal changes in the origin of the artery is inevitable [2]. RAA is categorized in three groups : 1.RAA with left aberrant Subclavian artery2.RAA in mirror type.2.RAA with isolated LSA, which RAA with ILSA is a most rare by 0.8 % prevalence [3]. Left aberrant subclavian artery (LASA) is an anatomical variant of right aortic arch which is actually dispart from the RAA as a last branch and usually pass behind esophagus to the left upper limb. However, RASA associated with LAA is more common (0.5_2% of population) the LASA originated from RAA(0.05_0.1) [4]. Kommerells diverticulum or KD, is defined as a aneurysmal form of ASA or descending aorta in proximal part [5] .KD is a rare condition usually accompany RASA more than LASA [6, 7]. Up to now, few cases has reported. Burckhard F Kommerell was the first one who introduced kommerell in 1936 [8]. Anomalies of aortic arch not necessary influence health condition in childhood and some become symptomatic in adolescence [9]. These aneurysms could be strong threatening for some circumstances like dissection, rupture, emboli to distal parts, compression to adjacent or organs [1].
