Abstract
Background and Aim: Beetroot is a rich source of antioxidants and rich in nitrates. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of beetroot consumption on blood pressure, heart rate, perceived Exertion, and the speed of running in young female athletes.
Material and Method: For this purpose, 10 young female athletes participated in this cross-over double blind study. Subjects were randomly placed into placebo (n=5) or beetroot (200 g containing 500 mg Nitrate; n=5) groups. They ran 5 Km on treadmill. The wash-out period for them was one week. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and 3 hours after beetroot consumption and after the 5 Kilometer run. Heart rate, perceived exertion, and the speed of running at the distances of 1.6 and 3.2 kilometers were recorded. Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and independent t-test were used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed that beetroot consumption significantly reduced systolic blood pressure before and after the exercise, and reduced diastolic blood pressure before the exercise. Heart rate was significantly decreased in beetroot group after 1.6 and 3.2 kilometers run, but no significant difference was found between beetroot and placebo groups at the end of 5 kilometer run. Perceived exertion was significantly reduced at the end of 1.6 kilometer run but not after 3.2 and 5 kilometer run in the beetroot group. The alterations in the speed of running at 1.6, 3.2 and 5 kilometers were not significantly different between the groups.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, in addition to the health benefits of vegetables, nitrate-rich vegetables can improve performance of training.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer in the world. Also, it is the fourth most common cancer in men in Iran and the second most common genitourinary cancer after prostate cancer. This study deals with epidemiology of bladder malignancy in the patients treated by transurethral resection in Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data were extracted from321 medical records of the patients with bladder malignancy treated by transurethral resection from 2012 to 2017. Data included age, gender, place of residence, occupation, smoking history, histopathology results, disease stage and type of treatment. Frequency and percentage of every variable was calculated. Stata software Ver. 14 was used for data analysis.
Results: The results of this study showed that mean ± standard deviation of age of the subjects was 65.6 ± 14 years. 264 (82.2%) patients were men and 247 (76.9%) lived in Sanandaj city. 172 patients (53.6%) had history of smoking and 20 patients (6.2%) had family history of bladder cancer. Histopathology reports of most patients were indicative of transitional cell carcinoma. 210 patients (65.4%) were at stage 1 and 8 patients (2.5%) at stage 4 of the disease. Treatment methods were TURBT in 207 patients (64.5%) and TURBT and BCG into the bladder in 74 patients (23%). Age, gender and disease stage showed no significant statistical association with one another (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The incidence of bladder cancer is on the rise, although this increase may be due to improved cancer registration system, as well as use of new diagnostic methods and increased patients' awareness, but change in lifestyle, adverse effects of job on health and other risk factors can lead to increased risk of bladder cancer. Therefore, planning for identification of the causes of this cancer can be helpful in prevention of this cancer.

Abstract
Background and Aim: In many countries of the world, Human Papilloma Virus is known as the most common sexually transmitted disease and the most common cause of cervical cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the intervention based on social marketing on the screening of the human papilloma virus.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, the design, implementation, and evaluation of social marketing-based intervention on HPV screening in women living in Mashhad using the SMART model in the years 2020-2022 were discussed. After carrying out the intervention's formative and design study, a semi-experimental study on 70 women aged 30 to 50 living in Mashhad was used to implement the intervention. A health center was chosen as the test center and another center, which was similar to the first center in terms of demographic characteristics, was chosen as the control center. The intervention was implemented for three weeks in the test group and three months after the end of the intervention.
Results: The results showed that after the implementation of the intervention, changes in knowledge score and scores of perceived severity, perceived benefits and perceived barriers, self-efficacy and guidance for action immediately after and two months after the intervention in the test and control groups were significant (p<0.0001). The results of the implementation and evaluation of the intervention showed that after the intervention, 29 people in the test group (82.8%) referred to the center for the screening test. In the control group, no case of referral for HPV screening test was reported.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, using social marketing model and paying attention to the opinions and viewpoints of the target group and removing barriers and using facilitators can be used to encourage people to perform screening. HPV screening to make facilitators and to remove barriers is suggested.
