Iodized salt serves as an effective intervention strategy, combating iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and promoting overall health. This study aimed to assess the household salt consumption status and its relationship with urinary iodine (UI) levels among school-aged children. This is a descriptive-cross-sectional study that was selected by cluster-random sampling from 5 girls' schools (182) and 5 boys' schools (169), with a total of 351 primary school students (8-10 years old) of Darab.

Although several reconstruction options are available, the optimal reconstruction method is still unknown due to the rarity of proximal ulna tumours. In this study, we report the outcomes of osteoarticular ulna allograft for the reconstruction of proximal ulna tumours.

- The study assessed the frequency of celiac disease and hypothyroidism in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) in Shiraz, Iran, comparing them to healthy individuals during 2019-2021.
- Among 223 participants, common heart defects included atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, but only one child showed borderline celiac disease antibodies, and 7 had elevated TSH levels indicating hypothyroidism.
- Results indicated significantly higher TSH levels and rates of non-autoimmune hypothyroidism in CHD patients compared to the healthy group, though no significant differences were found based on age, BMI, cyanosis status, or gender.
This study focused on using for phytoremediation to eliminate total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and heavy metals (HMs) like cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) from oil-contaminated soil. Conducted over six months at a field-scale without artificial pollutants, soil samples were analyzed using gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS) for TPHs and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‒OES) for HMs. Results after six months revealed that plots with plants had significantly higher average removal percentages for TPHs (61.

This research explored the phytoremediation potential of Alhagi camelorum, a plant species, for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and heavy metals (HMs), specifically lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd), in oil-contaminated soil. A field-scale study spanning six months was conducted, involving the cultivation of A.
