Anaphylaxis is an acute systemic reaction with various presentations that can be misdiagnosed in some patients. Anaphylaxis due to hydatid cyst rupture usually happens during surgery. However, there are rare cases with even spontaneous hydatid cyst rupture and anaphylaxis. We report a five-year-old Iranian child with cardiopulmonary arrest and coma presentation that was incidentally diagnosed as an anaphylaxis case due to hydatid cyst rupture. In children who are presented with unconsciousness, anaphylaxis may have an uncommon presentation. In endemic regions, anaphylaxis due to hydatid cyst rupture should be considered to reduce morbidity and even mortality.

Background Celiac disease (CD) is a lifelong, chronic and immune-mediated disorder. Recent studies have turned on a new light on the importance of inflammation in the pathogenesis of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to evaluate arterial stiffness in children with celiac disease compared with controls. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, fifty children aged from 3.5 to 18 year- old with celiac compared with 50 age and sex-matched controls. The study performed in Ali Asghar pediatric hospital in Zahedan city, Iran during the year 2019. Echocardiography, aortic elasticity, blood pressure, tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA), and anthropomorphic parameters were measured. Arterial stiffness indices determined using 2D and Doppler echocardiography. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0. Results: In all and CD children, 51% and 56% were girls, respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were lower in patients (p <0.001). Aortic diameter in diastole was lower in patients significantly (p <0.001). Aortic strain (<0.001), PSEM (<0.001), AD (<0.001), and ASI (p <0.001) were different between celiac patients and controls. Tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) was changed significantly with Marsh classification (p <0.001); tTG-IgA was correlated with strain (r= 0.417, p=0.003), and AD (r= 0.282, p=0.047) before age control when the trends did not change after age control for AD (r=0.241, p=0.096). LVMI was correlated with strain (r=-0309, p=0.029), PSEM (r=0.322, p=0.023), and AD (r=0.326, p=0.021) before controlling age when after age control this significant correlation omitted. Conclusion Concluded that aortic elastic risk is higher in celiac children when is free of modified marsh classification. Most of the aortic elastic parameters had significant correlation with changes of tTG-IgA antibody in children with celiac disease.

Hereditary Tyrosinemia type III (OMIM 276710) is a rare inborn error of tyrosine metabolism, which is caused by the deficiency of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD). This metabolic statement is transmitted in an autosomal recessive trait and hitherto about 18 cases presenting with this disease have been reported in the literature. Because of low prevalence of the disease the clinical phenotype remains variable and unclear but main symptoms are mostly related to the high concentrations of tyrosine and phenolic metabolites namely mental retardation, ataxia, and seizures. We described clinical, biochemical and molecular characteristics of an Iranian female patient with Tyrosinemia type III and her 7-year follow-up plan. A novel variant of HPD (609695) mutation (c.759+1 G>A) was identified in homozygous pattern. Despite not being compliant with the recommended diet, the patient continued to have normal neuropsychiatric development in the follow-up, which questions the efficacy of low-tyrosine diet.

Background Syncope is an important and common clinical condition, and the neurally mediated syncope is the most frequent type of syncope. Head up tilt testing is considered as a first line diagnostic test. The aim of this study was to assess the left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral in echocardiography of pediatric patients with vasovagal syncope. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, between January 2019 and December 2020 92 patients who referred in in Mofid Children Hospital in Tehran, Iran, for vasovagal syncope in the case group and 92 healthy children with maximum matching of sex and age in the control group were included in the study. Demographic, clinical and para-clinical data were recorded for each patient in the respective checklists, and HUTT and echocardiography were reviewed, then the results of two groups were compared. Results: The mean age of the patients with vasovagal syncope was 12.12 ±5.18 years. 66.3% of patients in the case group were female. There was a statistically significant relationship between LVOT-VTI and positive result of HUTT (p <0.001). There was no relationship between LVOT VTI in case and control groups (p=0.14). Conclusion The mean LVOT VTI index in patients with negative tilt test is higher than patients with positive tilt test. Although echocardiographic indices in children with vasovagal syncope are in normal range, accurate measurement of LVOT-VTI can be helpful in predicting a positive HUTT result.

Background: Chylomicron retention disease is an autosomal recessive disorder causing malabsorption of intestinal fat. It is extremely rare. This report is presented because although the condition is rare in cases presenting with fatty diarrhea, inability to gain weight, and abdominal distension, it should nevertheless be considered. Case Presentation: A four-month-old girl presented due to diarrhea, inability to gain weight, and lack of appetite since birth at Cukurova University, Pediatric gastroenterology outpatient clinic, Adana, Turkey. No blood or mucus was present in stool. Her general condition was average, she appeared pale and lethargic, the abdomen was distended, and no organomegaly was present. Duodenal pathology was normal but electron microscopy revealed that the enterocytes were filled with fat globules. Causes leading to fat malabsorption were investigated, and homozygous mutation was determined in the SAR1B, chylomicron retention disease, gene. Conclusion: The patient was treated with a low-fat diet and fat-soluble vitamin supplementation resulting in significant improvement. Although it is rarely seen in patients presenting with chronic diarrhea, chylomicron retention disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis.

Background The aim of this study was to determine the influence of speed and strength abilities of children aged 13-14 years on the indicators of speed of movement, taking into account the differentiated physical activity, which is based on the strength of the nervous system. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted in an ordinary school in Russia, 40 seventh-graders took part in the experiment. Children from the control group (n=20) were engaged in the usual program, and children from the experimental group (n=20) additionally performed speed-strength exercises at each physical education lesson. Physical activity for children in the experimental group was differentiated, taking into account the strength of the schoolchildren nervous system. All schoolchildren took tests: tapping test, speed-strength abilities were determined by three tests. The speed of movement of schoolchildren was determined by the test «Running on the spot». Two results of two groups were compared. Results: After the pedagogical experiment, the indicators for all tests in all subgroups increased. In the control group, the indicators of speed and strength abilities in both subgroups improved by 2-4% (p>0.05), and the indicators of speed of movement by 4-6% (p>0.05). At the same time, the children from the experimental group the indicators of speed and strength abilities improved by 11-16% (p <0.05), and the indicators of speed of movement improved by 17-19% (p <0.05). Conclusion After focused work in physical education classes at school on speed and strength abilities the indicators will improve not only speed-power abilities, but also increase the speed of movement taking into account the typology of the nervous system of schoolchildren.

Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the prevalent disorders in child psychiatry with the potential of damage to mental talent evolution process and socio-emotional skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of Water treadmill exercise on children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Materials and Methods: This was an experimental study with pretest, posttest design which was done in Gorgan. Participants were 46 children (mean age = 9.45 ±0.5, male = gender) who were identified and selected based on diagnostic criteria in two stages and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=23). The experimental group performed running on a Water treadmill for eight weeks with three sessions each week (24 sessions in total) and each session for 30 minutes. The exercise intensity was for 10 minutes 40-45% and 20 minutes 55-65% of the maximum heart rate reserve. All sessions begin with a brief warm-up, including light aerobic activity and dynamic, static stretching, and end with a cool-down. Disorder Levels were measured using the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised (CPRS-R), and diagnostic interviews. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: The results showed that after controlling the pretest levels, behavior problems, social problems, anxiety-shyness, psychosomatic, and the overall score of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the experimental group were significantly lower the posttest than the control group (p <0.05). Conclusion Based on the results, exercise interventions with Water treadmill for eight weeks effectively reduce the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and can be used as an appropriate intervention.

Background Living without sufficient amount of physical activity is known as a contributing factor to countless diseases. This research study aimed to determine the relationships between the constructs of the theory of planned behavior and female students’ physical activity with a path analysis approach. Materials and Methods The present research is a descriptive-analytic study conducted through cross-sectional data collection procedure. 185 female students were selected via multi-phase random sampling in elementary schools in Mashhad, Iran, from February to November 2018. Path analysis was performed by AMOOS version 22.0 and SmartPLS 2.0 to test the causal relationship among physical activityand constructs of the theory of planned behavior. Results The age range of female students was between 10 and 13, with mean and standard deviation of 11.51 ±0.76, respectively. The results showed that the constructs of attitude (r=0.177, p=0.018), and perceived behavioral control (r=0.234, p=0.001) had a direct and significant relationship with physical activity intention. However, the direct relationship between the constructs of subjective norms and physical activity intention was not significant (P>0.05). Also the direct relationship between the constructs of physical activity intention and physical activity behavior was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Based on the results, the constructs of attitude, and perceived behavioral control had a direct and significant relationship with physical activity intention in female students.

Background: This study aimed to comparison of anxiety and depression related to COVID-19 in midwifes and nurses working in pediatric wards and different clinical settings during the COVID-19 outbreak. Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, samples were collected using the random sampling method . Modified Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to measure anxiety and depression related to COVID-19 by linear regression. Results: In this study, 88.6% of the participants were women and the mean age of the nurses was 30.41 ± 6.59 years. Also, 36.4% of the nurses were midwives, 35% were pediatric nurses and the rest were other nurses. The mean and standard deviation of anxiety and depression scores were 12.76 ± 7.75 and 1.78 ± 2.27, respectively. 92.9% were anxious and 11.4% were depressed. The variables of marital status and sports activity had a significant effect on nurses' depression scores. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression scores were not significantly different among treatment staff. The prevalence of Covid-19 anxiety is high among hospital staff in Iran and the prevalence of depression was moderate. Which can have a detrimental effect on the quality of care provided by nurses and midwives to the patient.

The outbreak of Covid-19 has created a difficult situation for all people around the world and the number of deaths is increasing daily. Diagnosis of Covid-19 by blood test (RT-PCR) is time consuming and experts are looking for a faster solution to control and counteract the further spread of the virus worldwide using non-clinical methods such as data technology. Mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Because the healthcare industry generates large amounts of data, we can use data mining to find hidden and understandable patterns that may help in rapid diagnosis and effective and efficient decision making. Prediction and diagnostic algorithms can reduce the pressure on health care systems by accurately and quickly identifying diseases. In this study, a proposed model for more accurate and faster diagnosis of patients with Covid-19 and healthy individuals using basic and combined data mining algorithms is presented. The data set includes: electronic medical and laboratory records of patients in Imam Reza (AS) Hospital in Mashhad, which has been implemented with the help of Python software version 3.7 and Veka version 3.9. We used basic algorithms such as: Naive Bayes, Decission Tree, K- nearest neighborhood, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Ada-Boost, Bagging, Majority Voting, XGBoost and Stacking. The results of the present study showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 83% by using a combination of basic algorithms in the stacking classification, which used the gradient boosting algorithm in the meta part.
