Introduction: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is spontaneous rupture of fetal membranes before 37 weeks of gestation. PPROM cases who are clinically stable with no sign or symptom of intrauterine infection and normal fetal assessment are usually managed expectantly in hospital setting or at home. This study was performed with aim to compare the inpatient and outpatient management among women with uncomplicated PPROM.Methods: This non-randomized clinical trial was performed in an academic hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2017-2018. Women with confirmed PPROM who received initial treatments during primary 72-hour hospitalization were assigned into inpatient (n=45) or outpatient (n=35) management groups according to the patient's decision. The outcomes included latency period, gestational age at delivery, delivery route, delivery reason, WBC and neutrophil count, neonates’ weight, Apgar score, NICU admission, and death in the first 28 days after delivery. Data were analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS) version 23. P 0.05). Neonatal Apgar score, death, and NICU admission rate or period were not significantly different between two groups(p>0.05).Conclusion: Homecare in selected PPROM women could be a suitable expectant strategy without compromising neonatal or maternal outcomes.

Introduction: A supracondylar fracture are common in children with the average age of is 5-8 years. It is especially important to pay attention to pain control in these children because of lots of pain. This study was design to compare the analgesic effect of oral ibuprofen vs acetaminophen in children with supracondylar fractures who undergoing non-surgical treatment.Material & Methods: This triple-blind clinical trial was conducted on children with supracondylar fracture referred to the Emergency Department of Emam Reza and Hosheminejad Hospital. Children’s pain were assessed 2, 4 and 12 hours after taking the drug by VAS (Visual Analog Scale) criteria, which was explained by researcher to their parents. Results: In this study, 64 children with a mean age of 5.7±1.7 years were studied. 31 children in the acetaminophen group and 33 children in the ibuprofen group were evaluated. The mean pain score reduction within 12 hours of drug administration showed no difference between the two groups (P = 0.710). After 12 hours of drug administration, 5 and 7 children being painless in the acetaminophen and ibuprofen, respectively, with no difference between the two groups.Conclusion: During the 12 hours after ibuprofen and acetaminophen, children had similar analgesia and there was no significant difference between the two drugs in terms of pain relief and side effects, and both drugs are safe and effective for pain-control in children.

Background: Today Helicobacter pylori is the most common bacterial infection worldwide and is associated with some extra-gastrointestinal diseases such as blood disorders including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Therefore, this study was designed and performed to determine the status of Helicobacter pylori infection in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura referred to Dr. Mohammad Kermanshahi Hospital in 2019. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 68 children with ITP were evaluated for Helicobacter pylori infection using stool antigen test. Information on Helicobacter pylori was collected using a checklist along with data on gender, age, type of ITP (acute / chronic), primary platelet counts, duration of ITP, and history of receiving treatment for H. pylori infection. Data were analyzed by SPSS-20 using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test. Results: The mean age of all subjects was 6.35 ± 3.44 years with an age range of 1 to 13 years. The mean duration of the disease was 9.73. ± 9.04 months. Among patients, 63.24% (43 patients) were boys. Regarding the type of ITP, the highest percentage was the Acute type of disease (72/06%). Also, based on the analytical results, there was no significant relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and gender, mean duration of infection and type of ITP (p <0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, half of the ITP patients had Helicobacter pylori infection, but there was no significant relationship between the type of ITP and its duration with Helicobacter pylori infection. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct similar studies with a larger sample size and perform follow-ups to achieve more accurate results

Background: Due to the increased effect of environmental factors on the age of menarche and the correlation between the mothers’ and daughters’ age of menarche, we aimed at performing a meta-analysis to compare the mean age of menarche between the mothers and their daughters, examining the correlation between them. Objective: This systematic review was conducted to determine the heritability of daughters’ age of menarche. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a complete search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, and CINAHL electronic databases in English with no time limitation. A meta-regression analysis was then performed to evaluate the effect of age and sample size. 13 studies with a total sample size of 9719 for calculating the standardized mean difference and 15 articles with a total sample size of 8840, related to the research objectives, were analyzed in this meta-analysis. Results: The pooled mean of the daughters’ age of menarche was 12.62 yrs. (95% CI: 12.37 – 12.87) and that of the mothers’ age of menarche was 13.58 yrs. (95% CI: 13.31 – 13.81). The standardized mean difference between the mothers’ and daughters’ ages of menarche was -0.72 (CI: -0.99 to -0.44). The results of the meta-analysis revealed that, overall, there is a significant positive correlation between the mothers’ and daughters’ ages of menarche (r=0.27 [CI 95%: 0.17-0.36]). Conclusion: The daughters’ ages of menarche were positively correlated to those of their mothers, but the other environmental factors that may affect this decreasing trend should also be taken into account. Health policy-makers should plan to identify strong predictors, which can be effective in reducing the age of menarche.
背景：由于环境因素对初潮年龄的影响增加，以及母亲和女儿初潮年龄之间的相关性，我们旨在进行荟萃分析，比较母亲和女儿的平均初潮年龄，检验它们之间的相关性。目的：对女儿月经初潮年龄的遗传力进行系统评价。材料和方法：在这项系统综述和荟萃分析中，在PubMed、Scopus、Google Scholar、Web of Science、Science Direct和CINAHL英文电子数据库中进行了完整的搜索，没有时间限制。然后进行元回归分析，以评估年龄和样本量的影响。本荟萃分析分析了13项研究，总样本量为9719，用于计算标准化平均差，以及15篇与研究目标相关的文章，总样本数为8840。结果：女儿初潮年龄的合并平均值为12.62岁（95%CI:12.37-12.87），母亲初潮年龄为13.58岁（95%CI:13.31-13.81）。母亲和女儿的初潮年龄之间的标准化平均差为-0.72（CI:0.99--0.44）。荟萃分析结果显示，总体而言，母亲和女儿的月经初潮年龄呈显著正相关（r=0.27[CI95%CI:0.17-0.36]）。卫生政策制定者应该计划确定强有力的预测因素，这可以有效地降低月经初潮的年龄。

AbstractIntroduction: This study aimed at evaluating how the patient’s clinical manifestations and his/her anti TTG level are correlated with the intensity of histological damage based on the classification of Marsh Oberhuber.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 186 children suspected to celiac disease who referred to gastroenterology clinic between 2014 and 2015 and had Anti TTG >20. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and multiple biopsies of duodenum were taken; histological classification was performed based on Marsh Oberhuber criteria. Finally, the relationship between serum levels of Anti TTG and histologic findings was assessed based on Marsh Oberhuber criteria.Results: There was a statistically significant difference between Anti TTG and different classes of grading March (P=0.01). Moreover, the intensity of intestinal damage based on Marsh Oberhuber criteria was significantly higher in children who referred with gastrointestinal complaints, the classic form of celiac disease and growth disorder. Anti TTG level of 148 IU/ml was the best positive cutoff point suggested by the ROC. For anti TTG level of 148 IU/ml, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 46.8%, 82.4%, 91.7%, and 27.2%, respectively.Conclusion: Anti TTG level of 148 IU/ml has a high positive predictive value and a low negative predictive value for histologic changes more than grade 1 in Marsh classification.

Background: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among girls’ students of Kerman University of Medical Sciences and its relationship with anthropometric indices and the secondary purpose included a meta-analysis of the prevalence of PCOS in Iranian adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: In the first part, the cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 636 students residing in dormitories of Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Cluster sampling was used and stepwise logistic regression was used to evaluate the factors affecting the prevalence of PCOS. In the second part of the study, online databases were searched in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, EMABSE and Persian Magiran, SID, and Iran Doc databases basis of inclusion-exclusion criteria until January 2020. STROBE checklist was used to measure for evaluating of study quality. Results: At firs part, 636 girl's students participant in this study. A total of 73 patients (11.5%) had PCOS. There was a significant relationship only between waist circumference with the prevalence of PCOS. For every one centimeter increase in waist circumference, the odds ratio of developing PCOS increases by 7%. According to the findings of six studies in the present meta-analysis, the prevalence of PCOS is 5.2% (95% CI: 3-8%). Heterogeneity cross studies was highly significant (p <0.01; I2=94%). Conclusion: The prevalence of PCOS in adolescents and childbearing age group is not high in Iran. The results of the present study showed a significant relationship between waist circumferences (WC) with the prevalence of PCOS, so that for one-centimeter increase in WC, the odds ratio of developing PCOS increases by 7%.
背景：本研究的主要目的是调查克尔曼医学科学大学女生中多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的患病率及其与人体测量指标的关系，次要目的包括对伊朗少女多囊卵巢综合症患病率的荟萃分析。材料与方法：第一部分对居住在克尔曼医学科学大学宿舍的636名学生进行横断面描述性研究。采用整群抽样和逐步logistic回归方法评估影响多囊卵巢综合征患病率的因素。在研究的第二部分中，根据纳入-排除标准，在Scopus、PubMed、Web of Science、EMABSE和Persian Magiran、SID和Iran Doc数据库中搜索了在线数据库，直到2020年1月。STROBE检查表用于评估研究质量。结果：本研究共有636名女生参加。共有73名患者（11.5%）患有多囊卵巢综合征。只有腰围与多囊卵巢综合征的患病率有显著关系。腰围每增加一厘米，患多囊卵巢综合征的几率就会增加7%。根据本荟萃分析中六项研究的结果，多囊卵巢综合征的患病率为5.2%（95%CI:3-8%）。异质性交叉研究具有高度显著性（p<0.01；I2=94%）。结论：伊朗青少年及育龄人群PCOS患病率不高。本研究的结果表明，腰围（WC）与多囊卵巢综合征的患病率之间存在显著关系，因此，腰围每增加一厘米，患多囊卵巢综合症的几率就会增加7%。

Background Fetal growth restriction is one of the main causes of perinatal mortality that can be predicted by ferritin. We aimed to evaluate the role of ferritin in prediction of mothers with Appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA), Small-for-gestational age (SGA) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Materials and Methods: In this cohort study, we screened 73 mothers with gestational ages of 32-34 weeks. If amniotic fluid index (AFI) was normal and there was no circulation defect, the fetuses were classified in SGA group and in case of presence of oligohydramnios or circulation defect; they were classified in IUGR group. Also, fetuses with normal growth were classified in AGA group. We evaluated the serum ferritin, hemoglobin, and iron of the mothers. Moreover, we evaluated the levels of placenta ferritin, Hb, and hematocrit in the delivery room. Results: In this study, 28 patients were categorized in AGA group, 15 patients in SGA group and 30 patients in IUGR group. Mean weight of all infants was 2210.60 ± 932.77 grams. Also, the mean AFI of all infants was 9.81 ± 3.59. The mean ferritin level of all mothers was 30.29 ± 10.80 and IUGR group had the highest and AGA group had the lowest ferritin levels (P=0.015). Maternal ferritin (µg/l) (Sen: 67.9%, Sp: 61.9%), maternal hematocrit (%) (Sen: 70%; Sp: 62.8%,) and maternal Hb (Sen: 70%, Sp: 65.1%,) could predict IUGR. Conclusion Increased (>34 µg/l) and decreased (

Background Learning is a multi-directional process involving many factors, such as teachers, students, characteristics of the learning environment, to attain desired objectives. This study aimed to investigate the color preference of the educational space by teachers and students and its effect on the attitude and learning productivity in primary school students. Materials and Methods: The research method was a combination of documentary and library studies along with survey research. After the classification of data obtained by the library research, the images of 60 cases were presented to 31 experts, and 15 cases were finally selected and distributed among 212 subjects in Noorabad Delfan, Iran. The samples were selected among 10 classes using the un-purposeful non-probability sampling. The teachers and students answered a researcher-made questionnaire. Results: There were 106 (50%) male students in this study. Blue and green colors had the highest priority among male and female teachers. Results showed that the preference for red decreased while that for green increased with age.The results of examining the opinions of experts and audiences showed that the color of the classroom also affected the physical and mental health of users of that space, in addition to being a factor of vitality. Conclusion The findings indicate that the color priority of the educational space was different in teachers and students, as well as by their gender. Given that the space color affects the mood of the users and the productivity of learning, this issue should be considered besides the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and the use of educational spaces with a color spectrum that conforms to the users' desires and needs.
