Nowadays, query recommendation systems have become a major part of information retrieval systems. One of the applications of these recommendation systems is in medical sciences. Through applying personalization approach, these systems attempt to decrease the problem of informational overload in Web and to accelerate users' medical search. Method: In this applied and descriptive study, by using the lexical features and search results of queries, we tried to propose a method that helps users to access their desired information in a short time while maintaining the lexical relationship with the original query. The popular k-means algorithm was used to cluster queries. The implementation of the proposed method was done by using java programming language and in NetBeans IDE software. Results: According to the proposed method, the combined use of the lexical features and search results of queries leads to useful information for detecting similar queries. Since there is a possibility that a query contains multi-meaning words, using search results can be useful in identifying the user’s intent of a query. Conclusion: Evaluation of the proposed model with the real search log of the Parsijoo search engine indicated the precision rate of 77.4% for this method that in comparison to other methods shows 10% improvement of precision.   http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-234-en.pdf Medical recommendation system query recommendation Search engine Information retrieval per دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کرمان Journal of Health and Biomedical Informatics 2423-3870 2423-3498 2017-12 4 3 216 221 article Sedighe Karami 1 Farkhondeh Asadi 2 Hassan Emami 3 Associate Professor, Health Information Management, Health Management and Information Technology Dept., School of Allied Medical Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

In this study, amyloid peptide was exposed to seven different compounds in the canaboid extract and then, the structure and thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. Methods: In this study, the three-dimensional structure of beta-amyloid peptide in patients with Alzheimer's disease was prepared from the rcsb database. The main components of canaboid extract were obtained from CHEBI database too. Then, amyloid peptide was subjected to each of the canaboid extract molecules in the molecular dynamics simulation software, and its structural and thermodynamic characteristics were evaluated over 3000 picoseconds. Results: Comparison of seven different compounds of cannabis extract showed that all cannabis extract compounds were able to change the structure of amyloid peptide. Each compound was able to change the effective surface and volume, and the level of lipophilicty of amyloid peptides. Conclusion: The ability of these compounds to change the volume and surface is effective in preventing amyloid peptide accumulation. The findings of this study should be investigated in a laboratory scale and then on the human body to detect the efficacy of canaboid extract components exactly.   http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-253-en.pdf Amyloid peptide Alzheimer's disease Cannabis extract Simulation Molecular dynamics per دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کرمان Journal of Health and Biomedical Informatics 2423-3870 2423-3498 2017-12 4 3 232 241 article Zakie Piri piriz_444@yahoo.com 1 Mahsa Dehghani Sufi dehghani.hit@gmail.com 2 Zeynab Salimzadeh zeynab.salimzadeh@gmail.com 3 Bahareh Ashragh bahar_eshragh@yahoo.com 4 Ghasem Alizadeh alizadeh.gasem@gmail.com 5 M.Sc.
