Introducing fitting models for estimating age-specific dose and effective dose in paediatric patients undergoing head, chest and abdomen-pelvis imaging protocols: a patient study.
J Med Radiat Sci
June 2024
Introduction: Concerns regarding the adverse consequences of radiation have increased due to the expanded application of computed tomography (CT) in medical practice. Certain studies have indicated that the radiation dosage depends on the anatomical region, the imaging technique employed and patient-specific variables. The aim of this study is to present fitting models for the estimation of age-specific dose estimates (ASDE), in the same direction of size-specific dose estimates, and effective doses based on patient age, gender and the type of CT examination used in paediatric head, chest and abdomen-pelvis imaging.

- The study focused on the impact of kangaroo mother care (KMC) provided by both mothers and surrogates on preterm infants' nutrition and physiological functions.
- In a clinical trial with 70 preterm infants, results showed that while positive changes in breastfeeding behavior and oxygen saturation were noted in both groups, the differences between the two types of caregivers were not statistically significant.
- The conclusion indicates that surrogates can effectively provide KMC similar to mothers, emphasizing their role when the mother is unable to perform this care.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the antibacterial properties of PLGA polymer containing ZnO, Ag and ZnO/Ag nanoparticles with those of 2.5% NaOCl in root canals contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis.
Methods: A total of 100 maxillary central incisors were selected.
Objective: To determine the etiology and pathogenesis of enuresis among primary school children by using a special ultrasound (US) protocol for the assessment of bladder dysfunction and to compare excretion of urinary sodium and calcium in enuretic children.
Methods: We conducted this cross sectional study on 66 enuretic children aged 6-12 years from September 2005 to January 2006 in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Ultrasound (US) was designed for the evaluation of bladder parameters using bladder volume and wall thickness index (BVWI%), and expected percentage bladder volume index for kidney volume.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of enuresis in primary school children in Iran and to determine the factors associated with this disorder.
Methods: A cross-sectional time-ordered study was performed at the Faculty of Medicine, Isfahan Medical University, Isfahan, Iran from September 2005 to January 2006. A total of 4500 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to parents of children aged 6-12 years attending 30 primary schools.
