Methods: The planning of this study is through a quasi-experimental method of pretest and posttest type with control group. The target society of the research included every cancer patient who admitted to Tehran hospitals for breast cancer. Through assigned randomly, 12 patients were selected for the MCT group and 12 patients for the MBCT group, and the other were assigned control group. The data collection tools included depression, anxiety and stress scale - 21 items (DASS-21) questionnaire. For statistical analysis, descriptive tests and repeated measures analysis of variance were performed. Results: Data analysis with repeated multivariate measurements illustrated that there is a significant difference in the rate of depression, anxiety and stress, in three groups. Conclusion: According to our results, MBCT was more effective compared to metacognitive therapy.

Background: Monitoring fetal movement is a simple and effective approach to assessing fetal well-being. Among other issues, the maternal perception of altered (not just reduced) fetal movements remains a complex issue. This study aimed to report a case of fetal demise following the increased fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old woman in 34th week of her first pregnancy attended the emergency room while she had no chief complaint of fetal movement from the previous night; the fetus was examined, but no fetal heart rate was detected. She had reported an increased perception of fetal movements in the earlier week. Her maternal history, as well as her labs and obstetrics data, were normal. Despite the normal appearance of the fetus and placenta, the triple loops of tied nuchal cord was abnormal. Conclusions: Increased fetal movement (IFM) was a controversial finding, and earlier studies had questioned its safety. Therefore, any fetal movement alteration may have had clinical and fateful importance. Thus, it was recommended that further prospective studies should be conducted in order to clarify the association between IFM patterns and pregnancy adverse outcomes.
