<strong>Abstract</strong> <br /><strong>Introduction:</strong> Adherence to treatment is one of the most important issues in the field of physical and mental illnesses that have received little attention in Iran. Many patients do not adhere to treatment and ignore the doctor's instructions, which this is associated with economic, physical, and cultural problems for the individual, family, and community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the theoretical and practical dimensions of adherence to treatment in the health care system. <br /><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>This is a descriptive-analytical study. Articles related to theoretical and research literature on adherence to treatment were searched in the databases of Scholar Google, Nursing index, Elsevier, Scopus, and also the related books. Articles were searched from 1990 to 2019 using the keywords of adherence to treatment and the patient, and theories and models were combined. <br /><strong>Results: </strong>The results of various studies showed that non-adherence to treatment in many disorders can cause irreparable damage. Anderson's behavioral model and common sense model are models of treatment adherence that can have therapeutic and practical uses. Children, the elderly, and patients with psychological problems are among the groups with low adherence to treatment. <br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Based on the results, physicians and specialists should help patients to improve their adherence to treatment by applying and adhering models in this context, as neglecting this phenomenon will have many negative individual and social consequences especially in some groups.

<strong>Introduction:</strong> In previous studies the association between PPARα gene polymorphism and coronary artery calcification (CAC) CAD and atherosclerosis have been demonstrated and, CAD has been shown to be a directly related to CAC. However, an association between <em>PPARα</em> gene polymorphism and CAC has not been studied in our population. The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible association between <em>PPARα</em> gene polymorphisms and CAC in CAD patients. <br /><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>A total of Ninety CAD patients and 90 controls enrolled in this study. Computed tomography (CT) angiography was performed for all subjects and CAC was analyzed in the left coronary, left main coronary, right coronary and circumflex arteries. Polymorphism of <em>PPARα </em>was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and possible associations between PPARα polymorphism and coronary artery calcification in CAD patients and healthy controls were investigated. <br /><strong>Results: </strong>No significant differences in the allele frequencies (G, C) or genotypes (GG, GC) were found between the two groups (G = 84.6% vs. C = 15.4%; P = 0.52) and (GG = 70.1% vs. GC = 28.9%; P = 0.43), respectively. No significant differences were found between genotype or allele frequencies in patients or healthy control with different CAC (P = 0.41). <br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>No significant association was found between allele – genotype frequencies in subjects with CAC. <strong> </strong>

<strong>Abstract</strong> <br /><strong>Introduction:</strong> Several treatments have been proposed for treating diabetes; however it is still unclear which one of these methods is more effective with regard to patient conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise and concurrent (aerobic resistance) exercise on serum glucose, insulin and insulin resistance levels in Type 2 diabetic patients. <br /><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>In this quasi-experimental study, which was performed as a pre-test, post-test with a control group, 56 type 2 diabetic men randomly assigned into Cinnamon supplement (14 person) , aerobic exercise (14 person), supplement + exercise (14 person) and control groups (14 person). The Cinnamon supplement group received 6 capsule containing 500 mg powder of cinnamon for 8 weeks. Training program for the aerobic group included 3 sessions with 35 – 45 minutes of running per week with 60 to70% maximal heart rate for 8 weeks and the concurrent group performed aerobic exercise and received cinnamon simultaneously. The variables were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA at significance level of p<strong>Results: </strong>Fasting blood glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR were significantly decreases in three groups compared to control group (p<0.05), but no significant decreased were observed for these indexes between groups. <br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Cinnamon supplementation, aerobic exercise and concurrent methods, can have positive effects on fasting blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance.
