Introduction: The prevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies among infants and children in Iran has not been thoroughly investigated. Given that recommendations for booster vaccines are based on national disease epidemiology, we aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of pertussis antibodies among infants and children in an Iranian referral hospital.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1012 infants and children were included in the study.
The relationship between oral and gastric yeasts and their role in the colonization of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach was studied. Four groups of 221, 7, 44, and 10 patients were used for the isolation of H. pylori and oral and gastric yeasts.

- A study in Iran investigated how Ramadan Intermittent Fasting (RIF) during the COVID-19 pandemic affected sleep disturbances in adults aged 18 and older.
- The research found that 48% of participants experienced sleep issues, with many reporting poor sleep quality and unusual sleep patterns.
- Risk factors linked to sleep disruptions included factors like BMI, living situation, income, and personal health history, suggesting the need for culturally relevant health education on sleep hygiene and stress management.
Introduction: Measles vaccination has greatly reduced the disease burden worldwide, but challenges remain due to variations in vaccine effectiveness across age groups. This study aimed to assess the serological profile of measles antibodies across different age groups, evaluate the impact of maternal immunity on antibody levels in infants under 12 months, and assess measles immunity in vaccinated individuals.
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2022 to January 2023 at the Children's Medical Center, a referral hospital in Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - VOCs, common in air pollution and tobacco smoke, are linked to cardiovascular diseases, but there's limited direct evidence connecting specific VOCs to ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality in the overall population.
- - A study involving 50,045 participants in northeastern Iran measured urinary concentrations of 20 VOC biomarkers related to smoking and found significant correlations between certain VOCs and increased IHD mortality, especially in non-smokers.
- - The significant associations between VOCs like acrylamide and 1,3-butadiene and IHD mortality suggest that these compounds are independent risk factors for heart disease, irrespective of tobacco use.
