Article Synopsis
- - Arterial tortuosity syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing major arteries to become enlarged, elongated, and highly twisted, with about 100 known cases globally, including 3 in Iran.
- - A specific case illustrates the condition being suspected during a pre-surgery check for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, due to inadequate visualization of the thoracic aorta in an ultrasound.
- - The report emphasizes the importance of diagnostic imaging in recognizing and diagnosing arterial tortuosity syndrome.
Comparison of QT dispersion before and after PDA device closure in pediatrics.

Background: Numerous studies have shown that QT dispersion (QTd) can be a suitable criterion for risk assessment of arrhythmia in patients with congenital heart disease. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia by changing ventricular repolarization homogeneity. In this study, we assessed QTd changes after PDA device closure and the effect of PAH on these changes.

The United States and Europe accept this diagnostic technique, but we require more tests to prove its efficacy. This method is not accepted in other developed countries so far.

Despite existence of several methods for diagnosis of cardiac complications in thalassemia, this sequel persists as a major problem in these patients. The aim of this study is to compare the level of serum NT-ProBNP and cardiac MRI T2* in early detection and treatment of cardiac disorders in beta thalassemia major patients.

Objective: To study the incidence of neonatal hyperglycemia, associated risk factors and the outcome of it in VLBW infants hospitalized in a level III NICU in Tehran.
Methods: All VLBW newborns admitted to the NICU of Mahdieh Hospital from April 2009 to March 2011 were considered eligible for this retrospective study.
