NUTRITION FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF ISLAM
SM TAGHI A YATOLLAHI
1
This paper aims at briefly specifying an analytical approach for the understanding of diet and nutrition in Islam and its effects on the promotion of health within the society. The Qur’an and other Islamic literature on Hadiths (Traditions), Figh (Jurisprudence) and traditional medicine are studied.
The specifications of the Islamic food, the significance of the use of a diet compatible with the nature of the human body, manners of fostering hygienic principles, and ways and means of improving nutrition in the society are duly elaborated.
The study further verifies that Islam has an independent approach towards nutrition, which is based on social and economic justice. It also shows that people should have equal opportunities to acquire a sufficient and legitimate amount of food for subsistence.
The study also concludes that the world oppressors are the ones who have brought about poverty and starvation to a large number of humans in the world. One of the most important responsibilities of Muslims and the Islamic States is to eradicate such an oppression.

SERUM LEVELS OF PROLACTIN, THYROTROPIN. THYROID HORMONES, TRH RESPONSIVENESS, AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION IN INTERMITTENT ISLAMIC FASTING
FEREIDOUN AZIZI

Department of Endocrine Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
During the Islamic lunar month of Ramadan millions of Muslims abstain from drinking and eating from dawn to sunset. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent Islamic fasting on reproductive function, hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and the peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones in men.
We measured serum levels of FSH. LH, testosterone, prolactin, FSH, T4 and T3 uptake, and prolactin and TSH responses to TRH, before, at 10th, 20th and 29th days of Ramadan and four weeks after fasting month was terminated. Subjects were nine healthy men who fasted 17 hours a day for 29 days. There were no significant changes in serum levels of any of measured hormones during Ramadan. Prolactin and TSH responses to TR H were also unaltered. The only positive finding was increased serum T4 of 1.5 to 2.8 pg/dI and increased free T4 index (Ff41) in five of nine subjects in the last days of Ramadan.
We conclude that 1) intermittent abstinence from food and drink for 17 hr a day, as is observed in Islamic fasting, does not alter male reproductive function, hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, or peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones. 2)1 some subjects slight increase in serum T4 may occur in the last days of Ramadan.

From the Department of Medicine, Taleghani Medical Center, Shahid Brheshti University of Medical Sciences. Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran.
Serum levels of glucose, bilirubin, calcium, phosphorus, protein and albumin were measured in a group of nine healthy men before, and on the first, 10th, 20th and 29th day of Rarnadan, and four weeks after Islamic fasting was terminated. There was a significant reduction in body weight, a significant increase in serum bilirubin and a slight decrease in calcium during Ramadan. Serum glucose decreased on the first and 10th days of Ramadan, but increased thereafter and reached pre-Ramadan values of the 29th day. The lowest serum glucose recorded was 63 mg/dl. All changes returned to basal values four weeks after Ramadan. There was no significant change in the levels of serum phosphorus, protein or albumin. Physicians caring for Muslims during this month should be aware of these changes.

A DECREASE IN THE INCIDENCE OF SYPHILIS IN I RAN AND THE EFFECT OF ISLAMIC RULES IN CONTROLLING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
NASSER SIMFORoOSH

Deptartment of Urology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
Venereal diseases are still a common problem in today’s world. Even though tremendous advances are being made in medicine and large budgets are being spent to control sexually transmitted diseases (STL), especially in western countries. These diseases are still yet very common, and today AIDS has been added to the threats posed by STD to human life. The status of syphilis was evaluated in Iran in the cars before and after the Islamic Revolution 1w comparing RPR test results in blood specimens obtained for Transfusions from all groups of the society. RPR possibility was 0.6% for the years 1974-76, while it was only O.2°/ for the years 1985—87, demonstrating a sharp decline. Divine laws, especially those offered by Islamic rules are much more effective than present expensive medical measures to control venereal diseases, and can return sexual health to the human society.

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS IN THE OLDEST MEDICAL TEXTBOOK IN PERSIAN WRITTEN AROUND 990 A.D.
MR MOHARRERI

Department of Medical Ethics and History of Medicine, Shiraz University ofMedical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran
Written around 990 A.D Hidayat-Motaallemin Fil Tibb (Students’
Guide in Medicine) is the oldest general medical Text known to have been
written in modern Persian. Little is known of the author other than the fact
that he was apparently a well experienced practicing physician by t he name of
Abu Bakr Rabi'bin Ahmadal-Akhawaini from Bukhara who claimed to be a
second generation student of Razi.
The neuropsychiatric sections of the book arc of particular interest
because the author apparently had a personal interest in and reputation for
treating the insane. According to one of the manuscripts he was known as the
"Physician of the Insane" by his contemporaries.
Following the line of olher Islamic medical writers. the author has
described the major neuropsychiatric disorders in the chapter dealing with
the "Diseases of the Head and Brain". These include Melancholia. Mania.
Epilepsy, Phlebitis, Lethargy and Delirium. hysteria is, however. described among the diseases of the female reproductive system.
Both the terminology used and the authorities quoted betray the
author’s schooling in and devotion to the Greco-Roman medical traditions
adopted by early Islamic medical writers. He emerges as a hardheaded
organic physician dedicated to the humoral doctrines of mental illness.
