Abstract
Professionalization has a considerable impact on the nurses’ professional performance. The present study aimed to determine the effective factors in gaining professional nursing competencies in 2012.
The present descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 147 nurses working in the hospitals affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences through convenience sampling. The data were collected using valid and reliable researcher-made questionnaire in 5 individual, organizational, clinical, instructor, and in-service training domains. According to the study nurses, the effective factors in individual (23.68+3.53) and organizational (22.39+3.54) domains played more important roles compared to other domains. Moreover, the most important effective factors addressed in 5 domains. The nursing managers are recommended to provide the ground for creating motivation and interest in nurses and support them psychologically in order to help them gain professional competencies.

Abstract
Introduction: In spite of the major role of nursing profession in improvement of the society’s health status, this profession is not sufficiently attractive. Thus, a large number of nursing students quit their profession while studying or after graduation
Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 118 senior nursing students in Shiraz and Jahrom universities in 2011-2012. The study data were collected using a questionnaire which consisted of demographic information, nurse self-concept questionnaire, and nurse retention inventory.
Results: The nursing students’ professional self-concept and job retention scores were 5.25+1.21 and 4.76+1.49, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a significant correlation between the professional self-concept as well as its dimensions and the students’ decision for job retention.
Conclusion: Education specialists and programmers should pay special attention to the factors increasing the professional self-concept, increase the efficiency of the consultation system, and perform educational programs while education in order to increase the students’ professional self-concept and encourage them to retain their profession.
Keywords: Nursing students’; job retention.

Abstract
Mouth breathing in humans is an unnatural act of necessity to get air into the lungs when the primary airway is blocked by nasal or nasopharyngeal obstruction. It may be continuous or intermittent. It is a habit in which the lower jaw is dropped. The lips are parted and the tongue is depressed from its normal position. Mouth breathing has been stated to have serious effects on the development of the facial skeleton and occlusion of teeth on account of the displacement of normal lateral, buccal, and lingual muscular forces. In mouth breathing the air is received directly into the lungs without being cleansed, warmed, and moistened and it tends to lift the palate high. Mouth Breathing should be treated during the mixed dentition period to prevent or correct its ill effects on occlusion. Treatment should be aimed at elimination of the cause, Interception of the habit and Correction of the malocclusion.

Abstract
Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgical procedures in practice. The introduction of a laparoscopic technique has sparked a debate in the literature over the superiority of this method versus open repair. In this article, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of these two approaches in inguinal hernia repair.
Material & method: We conducted a prospective interventional type of hospital based study of 40 patients with inguinal hernia. Out of this 20 patients underwent laparoscopic repair (TEP) and the rest had open hernia repair. Patients were selected considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Factors studied were operative time, post-op pain and complications comparing both procedures. Follow-up was done for 2 years.
Result: Laparoscopic hernia repair compared to open method takes more operative time [79min/61min], less painful [1.5/3 in visual analogue], less hospital stay [3days/8days] respectively. There was no major complication in both the procedure and no recurrence in 2 years of follow-up.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic hernia repair is superior to open hernia repair in respect to post-operative pain, ambulation and easy return to work in experienced hands. Laparoscopy is safe with complication rate same as open hernia repair performed by a surgeon experienced in laparoscopic technique.
Key words: Laparoscopy, Totally-Extraperitoneal, Transabdominal-Preperitonealdfgj.

Abstract:
The present study is aimed at studying the histological changes that might occur at the liver as a result of consumption of yaji – a Nigerian meat sauce with complex mixtures of spices and additives. The study was prompted by the reports of cytotoxicity and excitotoxicity of some of its spices and additive constituents. Twenty wistar rats of an average weight of 215g were used for the study and were divided into 4 groups of 5 rats in each group. Group A served as the control and received 71g of normal feed (growers mash), while the experimental groups B, C, D received 71g of normal feed with 5g, 10g and 15g of yaji respectively. The animals were sacrificed after 60 days (2 months) of administration of yaji. The results showed that the consumption of yaji in small amount had no effects on the histological appearance of the liver. But a large/excessive consumption of yaji induced mild distortions of histological liver appearance which includes mild central vein hypertrophy, increased cellularity and increase in vascularity with signs of edema.
