Therefore, the development of capabilities such as resilience to deal with the consequences or prevent them can be helpful. So, the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of resilience training on increasing well-being of infertile women.
Material & methods: The method of this study was a semi experimental study with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of the present research comprised infertile women referred to Infertility Centers and gynecologists' private offices in Tehran.in 2013 22 infertile women selected by using of available sampling method and randomly assigned in two experimental and control groups (each group: 11 persons). The experimental group received resilience education for 12 weekly sessions. Data were gathered by using Reef wellbeing questionnaires. Data were analyzed by the SPSS 16 and presented with covariance (ANCOVA) test .Alpha level less than .05 was considered significance (p<0.05).
Findings: The results showed that resilience training was effective in increasing psychological of well-being (p<0.001) and its components including Self-acceptance (p<0.001), Positive relations with other (p<0.001), Autonomy (p<0.01), Mastery on environment (p<0.031), Purpose and direction in life (p<0.001) and Personal growth (p<0.021)
Discussion & Conclusion: Due to the Effect of resilience training on Psychological well being in infertile women, we can benefit this method as a complementary therapy beside medical treatments and therefore use it to increase psychological health in these patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Using nutritional supplements is proposed to avoid the stresses-induced by physical activity, delayed fatigue and maintenance of performance during competition. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of combined supplement Neurobion on Creatine Kinase (CK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes levels following a session of exhaustive exercise in amateur men boxers.
Materials & methods: Twelve men boxer with an average age of19.1±2 years, weight 71.3±6.2 kg and percentage of body fat 8.9±0.7 participated in this study. In two consecutive weeks, they consumed Neurobion supplement and placebo (distilled water) into5 ml ampoule and then carried out exhaustive exercise boxing. Exercise implemented with fists swiping to punch bag in 3 rounds of 3 minute with 1 minute rest intervals between rounds with maximum intensity and competitive. To measure the levels of LDH and CK induced by muscle cell damage, blood samples were taken in four stages before, immediately, and 2and6hours after exercise.
Findings: The results showed that consuming combination of vitamin Neurobion had a significant effect on serum levels of LDH and CK in different stages of exercise (p=0.001).With intake supplement, the amounts of CK in2and6hours, and LDH in the immediately after the exercise, compared with placebo group had a significant reduction (p<0.05).
Discussion & conclusions: It is concluded that, using combination of vitamin supplement Neurobion by maintaining molecular structure of cells and sarcomere, as well as muscle cell membrane integrity, cause reduced amounts of LDH and CK enzymes in the amateur boxers after exhaustive exercise.

Abstract
Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorders are group of neuropsychiatric disorders that occur in childhood and cause disruption in the growth and development of the brain or central nervous system in children. According to research results, children with neurodevelopmental disorders are weak in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills. This study aimed to develop a multimedia educational program with a neuropsychological approach and evaluate its effectiveness in the social skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Material & Methods: In this study, initially, a multimedia educational program with neuropsychological approach was designed, and the content validity of the tool was confirmed by experts. The statistical population of this study included male students aged 7-11 years old with neurodevelopmental disorder in Tehran, Iran. Using the purposefully convenience sampling method, and after administering Stanford-Binet Test of Intelligence (Fifth Edition), 100 children with neurodevelopmental disorder and natural IQ level and above were selected and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to 90-min 24 multimedia educational sessions with neuropsychological approach. On the other hand, the control group received no intervention. They were then followed-up after one month and a half. The required data were collected using Social Skills Rating System (Gresham and Elliot, 1999) as pre-test, post-test, and the follow-up.
Findings: The results of repeated measurement MANCOVA showed the effectiveness of the multimedia educational program with neuropsychological approach in the improvement of social skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorder (P˂0.01; Effect Size 0.35). Furthermore, it was shown that the effect of this program with neuropsychological approach on the social skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorder was constant even after one month and a half.
Discussion & Conclusion: A multimedia educational program with neuropsychological approach can be used to increase and strengthen the social skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorders begin in childhood and lead to a weakening of physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills in affected children. The aim of this study is to develop a multimedia educational program and to evaluate its effectiveness on problem solving in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Material & Methods: In this study, a multimedia training program with a neuropsychological approach was first developed and the content validity of the tool was confirmed by experts. The effectiveness of the program was then evaluated in a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, a post-tesand a follow-up phase. The participants in this study were children with neurodevelopmental disorders whose male students were studying in Tehran in the academic year of 1400-1401. The children were examined using the Tehran Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test, and 100 children with neurodevelopmental disorders were selected based on the available sampling method and randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group completed 24 -training sessions that focused on a multimedia training program with a neuropsychological approach. Each session took place five times a week and lasted 90 minutes. The instrument used in this research were London Tower Test (Shalis,1982) , which was used as a pre-test, post-testand for the follow-up studies. The data were then analyzed using repeated measurement tests and multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA).
Findings: The results showed that the multimedia training program can influence the problem-solving skills (p≤0/01) of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. It also showed that the effect of this instruction was constant even after 1/5 months.
Conclusion: multimedia training program with Neuropsychological approach enhance problem solving of Children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
