Although Iran has a deep history about 10000 years, its role in development of science in general and medicine in particular is yet to be known. There are several factors responsible for this, namely the destruction of a good number of ancient Persian manuscripts and books. Furthermore, lack of interest found among contemporary researchers seems to add to this anonymity. One way to compensate for this is to introduce scientic gures of the time. In this regard, Jamasp, as the great Persian scientist who lived about 500 BC, is introduced in this article. He was the minister of king Vishtasb and contemporary with Zoroaster. Though Jamasp is known as a great astronomer, physician, pharmacist, chemist and botanist by historians, he is a good candidate for the title “the father of Persian pharmacy”.

Louis Hubert Farabeuf was born in Bannost (Sein-et-Marne) on May 6th 1841 and died in Beton-Bazoche (Aisne) in August 1910. He was Professor and Director of the Anatomical Department of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris until 1878. In 1879, he founded the School of Practical Studies in Paris, which contributed to anatomical studies. Farabeuf designed many surgical procedures. His manual of operatory surgery was published in 1893 and was well known. He described the triangle that is named after him and described it in his Précis de manuel opératoire, published in 1872. This triangle (Farabeuf’s triangle) is formed by the internal jugular vein, common facial vein and hypoglossal nerve. The jugulodigastric node can usually be found within the borders of this surgical triangle. In 1878, Farabeuf was named Head of Anatomical Studies a position that had been occupied by such great names as Dupuytren, Beclar, Curveilhier, Breschet, Denonvilliers, and Sappey.

Throughout history, there have always been different opinions about the necessity and methods of contraception in different cultures. Persian medical scientists in the medieval era illustrated different contraceptive methods in their manuscripts. Avicenna, for example, discussed different types of contraceptive methods in Canon, one of the most important medical books written in the 10th century AD. In this paper, we describe the indications as well as two types of contraceptive methods derived from canon of Medicine: Physical & psychological methods and pharmacological Methods (Materia Medica). Reviewing such issues can not only present Avicenna’s professional and scientic knowledge but also help researchers in modern medicine to conduct experiments to nd newer and more efcient prevention methods with fewer side effects.
