Abstract
Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten sensitivity in genetically susceptible individuals. There is no previous report on CD and Toxoplasma gondii infection and no previous assessments with regard to the association of these conditions on pregnancy. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed CD and T.gondii in the pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, during the period of January-July 2007, 496 pregnant women with mean age of 26±5 years (SD 4.11) and mean pregnancy duration 5.2 months were referred to reproduction section of rural and urban health care centers in Lorestan province. They underwent a total IgA test and antihuman IgA class antitissue transglutaminase (tTGA) antibodies for detection of CD. Those with IgA deficiency were tested with IgG tTG. Also IgG and IgM-Toxoplasma level were measured for detection of total antibody against T.gondii.
Results: Of 496 pregnant women, 13 (2.6%) had a positive CD serology for tTGA (95% CI: 1.2%-4.3%). 154/496 patients had IgG positive test and 35/154 patients had IgM positive for T.gondii indicating acute stage of T.gondii infection.
Conclusion: It is well established that CD and T.gondii infection are both associated with a high incidence of unfavorable outcomes in pregnancy. Our data suggest that CD may predispose to the development of T.gondii infection.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of music on metabolic responses during incremental exercise in male athletes.
Materials and methods: In this quasi- experimental study with cross- over design, Ten male athletes (age: 19.76 ± 0.97 years, height: 176 ± 6.72 cm, Weight: 68.5 ±7 5.95 kg) were voluntarily selected and performed Bruce protocol with fast rhythm music condition until exhaustion, with 72 hours interwal between two days of test. Metabolic factors had assessed in 3, 6, 9 and 12 minutes. Data were analyzed by paired t-test with significant level of <0.05.
Results: Listening to fast rhythm music during incremental exercise caused significant increase in respiratory rate exchange, Vco2, ventilation and breathe rate per minute and significant decrease in perception of exertion rate (P<0.05) and no significant changes in Vo2, anaerobic threshold and time to exhaustion.
Conclusion: The study revealed that listening to fast rhythm music decreases perception of exertion, and also, metabolic system tends to be more involved in anaerobic metabolism during incremental exercise.
