Abstract
Considering the importance of medicine and the ever-increasing developments in medical research, the implementation of such research according to the ethical principles and criteria of creditable national and international declarations is of great significance. According to these declarations, the researcher has the highest responsibility to observe the rights and safety of participants. The present study intends to survey the rate of observance of research ethics in proposals approved at Urmia University of Medical Sciences between the years 2003 and 2008. Three hundred and twenty four research proposals that had been approved between 2003 and 2008 were evaluated retrospectively. Related checklists (self- constructed ones and World Health Organization checklists) were completed for each project, a statistical analysis of the results was done by SPSS software, and descriptive statistics were subsequently extracted. A summary of the most important results is as follows: In 85.5% of the proposals, the ethical considerations part was completed. In 68.4% of the cases the participants were aware of participating in the study and in 67.9% of the cases the informed consent of participants was obtained, 50.9% of which was in written form. Among clinical trials, in 80% of the proposals informed consent was obtained, 85% of which was written. Out of 60 clinical trials, 37 projects (62%) were confirmed by the ethics committee. Considering the results obtained in this study, principles of research ethics were applied more closely in this study compared to similar studies in Iran. It seems this is due to the establishment and launch of regional ethics committees in 2003 and afterwards. However, in order to bring these measures closer to current standards, holding educational workshops for honorable members of scientific boards and students is recommended. Moreover, more accurate supervision of ethics committees, especially in clinical trials and animal experimentations, seems to be beneficial.

Abstract
In order to face the challenges of today’s health system, it is extremely important to promote collaborations among disciplines. Nevertheless, it seems that nurses and physicians cooperate more effectively in academic areas, and their partnership in the actual work place and clinical settings is associated with challenges.This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the attitudes of doctors and nurses in hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences toward collaboration with each other. For this purpose, the Jefferson Scale of attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration was used after it was translated and its validity and reliability were examined on 59 physicians and 164 nurses. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 18.The results showed a more positive attitude toward the concept of collaboration among nurses (3.49) than physicians (3.12) (P = 0.02). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between the attitudes of physicians and nurses toward working together across various items of the questionnaire (F = 5.06, P = 0.02), with the exception of the area of nursing autonomy (F = 0.95, P = 0.32).An appropriate nurse-physician relationship and agreement over treatment plans can increase the quality of care, and lack of cooperation can lead to stress in the workplace. Therefore, in-service training for doctors and nurses and attention to the importance of cooperation among members of the medical team must be incorporated into the nursing and medical curriculum. Thus, the traditional views on the role of nurses will change, and nurses will be able to perform their professional duties more effectively. Consequently, the cooperation between physicians and nurses and the fortified synergy between the roles will improve the quality of care.

Abstract
Ethics of care are the central core of nursing values and a fundamental concept in the nursing profession. Since the outlook of nurses on ethics can affect the quality of care, the present study was conducted to investigate the attitude of nursing students to codes of ethics for nurses, their commitment to ethics of care, and academic dishonesty in Abadan School of Medical Sciences.
This descriptive analytical study was performed among 150 nursing students of Abadan School of Medical Sciences by census sampling in 2016. After giving their informed consent, the students completed the questionnaire designed by McCrink in 3 sections: 1) demographic information, 2) attitude to ethics codes, commitment to ethics of care and neutralization behaviors, and 3) outlook on academic dishonesty. Data were analyzed using descriptive statics, chi-square test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient in SPSS version 21.
The results showed that the students had the most positive attitude to ethics codes and commitment to ethics of care, and the most negative attitude to neutralization behaviors. Less than half of the participants had a negative outlook on academic dishonesty. Moreover, about 40 percent of the students reported academic dishonesty among their classmates. Ethics codes are moral values in academic and clinical settings and should therefore be considered as major components of initial nursing education programs. Additionally, it seems necessary to make efforts in order to change nursing students’ attitude toward academic dishonesty.

Abstract
Euthanasia is still a controversial issue worldwide. There are different and sometimes contradictory opinions about euthanasia and its practice. By exchange of ideas and opinions about this issue, some countries have explicitly accepted euthanasia and it has been legalized. Whereas, some other countries distinctly rejected euthanasia and in result it has been criminalized. Among countries there is a third group, with a passive or neutral position. In those countries, like Iran, the acceptance or rejection of euthanasia has been discussed among the law experts but there is no legislation to address the issue. This article aims to evaluate euthanasia based on the Article 372 of Iran's Islamic penal code.

Abstract
Currently, in Iran, some difficulties in the application of conventional medicine, has caused more public interest in using Persian traditional medicine for their health problems.
In terms of terminology, Persian traditional medicine, Islamic medicine and traditional medicine have been used interchangeably.
Although, proponents of traditional medicine claim a strong basis for its application, at least in scholarly available literature it has not been proved, specially based on evidence-based sciences.
In search for Islamic medicine’s definition and its foundations a non-systemic literature review with saturation based in authors’ opinion, with attention to relationship between science and religion was conducted.
Medical issues in Qur’an and hadith as well as conventional medicine were searched and based on the relationship between science and religion; there are six perspectives about Islamic medicine. It includes approval, denial, prioritization, or a combination of these opinions.
The article, describing the so-called Islamic medicine from the perspective of Allameh Javadi Amoli and definition suggested by Mehdi Esfahani about Islamic medicine.

Abstract
Medicalization, in the sense of expansion of medicine in different aspects of human life and ultimately the transformation of medicine into a tool of social control and domination, is a common interpenetration in the literature. This concept, since its inception in the mid-twentieth century, has been an exclusive critique of modern medicine, meaning that branch of medicine based on biomedical paradigm. In this article, we argue that the conceptual shortcoming of this view and the reduction of medicalization to only one medical paradigm, lead to appear medicalization in the new outfit in the name of demedicalization and with more harmful aspects. By focusing on biomedical paradigm or biomedicalization, we neglected other types of medicalization like paramedicalization or CAMization, meaning expansion of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in different aspects of human life. This negligence makes the space to misuse of medicalization for more medicalizing issues. In the following, Iranian Traditional Medicine has been examined as one of the examples of CAM. By presenting historical examples, in the contrast of common understanding of many medical sociologists, we showed that medicalization is not an exclusive concept around modern medicine and its root go back hundreds of year, not just the last hundred year and not only in the western world.
