- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a main public health problem in Iran with a high incidence rate among children. According to numerous studies in Iranian society, the most commonly affected age group is 1–4 years. At present, we aimed to investigate the pediatric CL among children in Golestan Province in North of Iran.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was run on data existed for 3,371 cases with pediatric cutaneous leishmaniasis based on routinely collected data from the Health System of Golestan Province, Iran, between 2010 and 2017. Data of the study were gathered using two checklists about CL and demographic status from District Health Network. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 18.0).
Results: In general, 3371cases were investigated. The majority of cases were male 1495 (50.9%), lived in the rural area, while the least CL were female 155 (38.7 %), and lived in the urban area. Pediatric cutaneous leishmaniasis had the highest 883 (26.3%), and lowest 186 (5.5%) frequency in 2010 and 2013 years, accordingly. CL was increased from July and reached to maximum in October, then decreased considerably in January. In final, a significant relationship was found between CL cases and years of the survey (p= 0.001).
Conclusion: The most CL cases were found among males and aged 0-5 years. As indicated by different studies, CL in the endemic area of the country (Golestan Province) occurs more often in children, while it commonly happens among adolescents in the central area of the country. Thus, it points to the role of mothers in protecting children through dressing up and sleeping habits in the outdoor environments.- انتشار مقاله: 02-02-1398

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Nutritional habits and its determinants, especially in children and adolescents have recently turned into the one of the major concerns of health researches. We examine the diet contribution inequality in according to socio-demographic factors, age, gender, physical activity and body image to alleviate this gap in Iranian children and adolescents.
Materials and Methods: Study sample was comprised of 14,880 students aged 6-18 years who selected from urban and rural districts of 30 provinces of Iran via stratified multi-stage sampling method. A short food frequency questionnaire was used for estimating the food group consumption. The Blinder-Oaxaca method was applied to investigate the inequality in the prevalence of healthy and junk foods consumption between the first and fifth socio-economic status (SES) quintiles.
Results: The frequency of healthy and junk foods consumption showed considerable differences between the SES quintiles. The highest differences were found in the frequency of fresh fruit (25.38%), vegetable (12.92%), and milk (10.74%) consumption, respectively. The daily consumption of vegetables, and fresh and dried fruits increased linearly by increasing the SES quintiles. The highest absolute difference was seen in the frequency of fresh fruit consumption between the bottom and top of the socioeconomic groups (SII value=-32%). The estimated SII was statistically significant for the consumption of all healthy and junk foods except for fast foods and milk consumption. The estimated C index for consumption of healthy and junk foods was positive and negative, respectively.
Conclusion: This study provides the considerable information on the consumption of healthy and junk foods and its determinants among Iranian children and adolescents for better programming, developing health policies, and future complementary analyses.- انتشار مقاله: 28-09-1397

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is widely distributed throughout the developing countries. Children are considered as at risk groups for infection. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and clinical manifestations of Brucellosis in Iranian children and adolescents.
Materials and Methods: We systematically searched international databases; ISI, Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and national databases Irandoc, Barakat knowledge network system, Magiran, and Scientific Information Database (SID). The search strategy was developed based on main terms of "Brucellosis," "Brucella fever", "Gibraltar", "Rock Fever", "Undulant Fever", "Cyprus Fever", "Malta Fever", and "Bang Disease".
Results: A total of 885 studies were identified, from them a total of 12 studies that were conducted between 2001 and 2016 were included. Following the relevancy assessments and quality control, data from the 1,429 participants were presented in our review. The age of the patients ranged from 2 to 18 years. Only one out of twelve studies provided the prevalence of 4.30% and 3.4 incidence. Studies varied greatly in reporting high risk behavior of animal contact (8.4 to76.0%) and unpasteurized dairy (22.4 to 91.6%).
Conclusion
Our finding reveals the disparity of reported prevalence and clinical manifestations of Brucellosis in Iranian children. Fever and joint pain were the most frequent reported signs. Differences in study design, measurement tools and methods, and sub population sampling, does not provide the possibility of aggregation of data for more comprehensive inference.- انتشار مقاله: 13-04-1397

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Patients with transfusional iron overload have depended on iron chelation therapy and improving chelation regimens have been of the highest priority. The aim of this study was to compare effect of combined versus monotherapy with Deferoxamine (DFO) and Deferiprone (DFP) in iron overloaded beta thalassemia (BT) major patients
Materials and Methods
We studied 36 BT major patients (mean age 7.6±4.6; range 3–16 years) attending the Ormieh Motahari hospital for regular transfusional support. Patients were randomly allocated to receive one of the following two treatments: DFO in combination with DFP (n=12), DFO alone (n=12) and DFP alone (n=12). Serum ferritin level, liver enzymes, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine and side effects were monitored over a 12 months period.
Results: After one year, serum ferritin decreased more significantly in patients on DFO+DFP therapy compared to patients who only received DFO or DFP alone (P<0.01). Side effects of DFP, including gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain) and mild agranulocytosis occurred in five (41.7%) and two (8.3%) patients, respectively but none led to discontinuation of the treatment.
Conclusion: In comparison to the standard chelation monotherapy of DFO, combination treatment with additional DFP reduced serum ferritin and is effective procedure in clinical management of iron overload in patients with BT major.- انتشار مقاله: 17-02-1395
