This study sought to examine the potential positive effects of Korean translation assignments on the psychological well-being, including anxiety and stress, of mid-to-late adolescent immigrant youth. In this study, students were provided with Korean classes using reading materials with positive content, followed by assignments to translate these materials into their native languages. The results indicated that the task had a positive effect on the students' emotions. Participants indicated that the novel experience of translating Korean texts into their native languages was both engaging and resulted in positive emotional transformations, as well as heightened motivation to learn Korean. This research underscores the important correlation between utilizing positive reading materials and translation tasks in enhancing Korean language acquisition and fostering positive psychological outcomes.

Introduction: Infertility is a common problem contributing to negative impact on patient emotiona-lly, sexually and socially, impairing their quality of life and causing significant economic burden on health care system. A minimum of 80 million couples suffer from infertility worldwide. Despiteimprovement in diagnostic techniques, the incidence of unexplained or idiopathic infertility remainsup to 15%. Due to absence of an identifiable cause, the treatment of this condition is empirical. In Unani system of medicine, various drugs and formulations are used to induce ovulation. One ofsuch formulation has been chosen to treat the present case for unexplained infertility and observe long term pregnancy outcome. Case presentation: We report a case of 25 years old, nulligravida who successfully achieved preg-nancy following unani treatment. She presented with complain of unsuccessful attempts at concepti-on since three years. Investigations were carried out which did not reveal any abnormality thus making unexplained infertility as diagnosis of exclusion. The patient was prescribed to take nuskhaMu‘īn-i-Ḥaml 6g twice a day from D5 – D9 of menstrual cycle with warm milk and Ma‘jūn mocharas 6g twice a day throughout the month. The patient conceived after the treatment for 2 cycles and had an uneventful pregnancy with delivery of a female baby weighing 2.6kg. Conclusion: These Unani formulations might have assisted in conception due to their uterotonic and ovulation inducing properties. This article offers an approach to treat unexplained infertility usingunani formulation. Further researches in the form of randomized clinical trials are needed to prove the efficacy of these formulations in unexplained infertility.

Introduction: Sal‘a al-Raḥim (uterine fibroids) are the most prevalent benign tumor of the uterus and the most common benign solid tumor in women, with a cumulative prevalence of 70–80% during the reproductive years. They account for approximately 29% of gynecological illness hospitalizations in females aged 15 to 54. Since the only definitive treatment is hysterectomy in modern medicine, 40–60% of all hysterectomies and 18–44% of hysterectomies in young women are caused by uterine fibroids. Recurrent pregnancy loss is an important symptom of uterine fibroids. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old married woman visited the Gynecology (Unani) Out Patient Department (OPD) complaining that she was desperate to become pregnant and carry her pregnancy to term because she had previously had two habitual abortions in the previous seven months, the most recent of which had occurred about a month ago. She was also suffering from severe dysmenorrhea for approximately a year, along with heavy menstrual bleeding with clots. Two fibroids were detected in the fundus during her transabdominal scan (TAS); the larger of the two measured 2 x 2 cm in the posterior wall and 1.6 x 1.7 cm in the anterior wall. While Sarshapadi oil was administered for local application on the lower abdomen, Itrifal Ghudadi (5 g twice daily after meals) and Majun Dabiduward (5 g twice daily after meals) were prescribed internally. All of her ailments improved after receiving medication for around three months, and the two fibroids totally disappeared. Conclusion: After three months of treatment, the TAS revealed that Sal‘a al-Raḥim can be effectively treated with Unani Medicine without experiencing any negative side effects.
