Clinical Findings: We describe a preterm female infant with a birth weight of 2060 gr that was admitted for tracheostomy placement due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Ocular manifestations of COVID-19: A systematic review of current evidence.

Introduction: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2, commonly presents with symptoms such as fever and shortness of breath but can also affect other organs. There is growing evidence pointing to potential eye complications. In this article, we aim to systematically review the ocular manifestations of COVID-19.

Analysis of microplastics in ships ballast water and its ecological risk assessment studies from the Persian Gulf.

Transport of ballast water is considered a significant vector for dispersion of different pollutants, including microplastics (MPs), throughout the world's oceans. However, there is limited information on MPs in ballast water. Size distribution, polymer type, and ecological risks of MPs in ballast water were investigated for the first time in this study.

Clinical spectrum in multiple families with primary COQ deficiency.

Coenzyme Q COQ , an essential cofactor in the electron-transport chain is involved in ATP production. Primary COQ deficiency is clinically and genetically a heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders caused by defects in the COQ synthesis pathway. Its mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive and it is characterized by metabolic abnormalities and multisystem involvement including neurological features.

Automatic classification of gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy using fuzzy clustering method.

Background: Subjective classification of gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy depends on the assessor's experience, while mathematical methods produce virtual groups with no clinical interpretation.

Methods: In a retrospective study, gait data from 66 children (132 limbs) with a mean age of 9.6 (SD 3.

Cockayne Syndrome Misdiagnosed as Cerebral Palsy.

A 7-yr-old patient was referred to pediatric orthopedic clinic of Imam hospital (2016) with the diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP). His parents were concerned about some inconsistency of his disease progression. After initial evaluations, the diagnosis of CP was incorrect.

DDH Epidemiology Revisited: Do We Need New Strategies?

Background: Although the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is well known to pediatric orthopedists, its etiology has still remained unknown and despite dedication of a vast majority of research, the results are still inadequate and confusing. The exact incidence of DDH and its relationship with known risk factors in Iran is still unknown. Here we represent the results of one year study on the incidence and related conditions of DDH.

Effect of a Comprehensive Total Parenteral Nutrition Training Program on Knowledge and Practice of Nurses in NICU.

Background: Parenteral nutrition is a lifesaving therapy for many infants who are unable to tolerate enteral feedings. It fulfils preterm neonates' needs for growth and development when their sizes or conditions preclude enteral feeding. Virtuous nursing care and close biochemical monitoring are absolutely essential for successful parenteral nutrition therapy.

Reducing head computed tomography after mild traumatic brain injury: Screening value of clinical findings and S100B protein levels.

Primary Objective: The present prospective study was performed to investigate whether primary clinical findings and serum S100B concentrations at 3 and 6 hours post-trauma can contribute to the selection of patients for an initial computed tomography (CT) scanning.

Research Design And Methods: S100B was measured in serum samples obtained at 3 and 6 hours after the injury. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) associated with demographics and clinical predictors of positive CT scan were calculated.

S100B protein as a screening tool for computed tomography findings after mild traumatic brain injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Primary Objective: To determine whether S100B protein in serum can predict intracranial lesions on computed tomography (CT) scan after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI).

Research Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis Methods and procedures: A literature search was conducted using Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Google Scholar, CINAHL, SUMSearch, Bandolier, Trip databases, bibliographies from identified articles and review article references. Eligible articles were defined as observational studies including patients with MTBI who underwent post-traumatic head CT scan and assessing the screening role of S100B protein.

Nerve Stimulator Guided Axillary Block in Painless Reduction of Distal Radius Fractures; a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Given the high prevalence of upper extremity fractures and increasing need to perform painless reduction in the emergency departments, the use of analgesic methods with fewer complications and more satisfaction appears to be essential. The aim of this study is comparison the nerve stimulator guided axillary block (NSAB) with intravenous sedation in induction of analgesia for painless reduction of distal radius fractures.

Methods: In the present randomized clinical trial, 60 patients (18-70 years of age) suffered from distal radius fractures, were divided into two equal groups.

Correlation between capillary and arterial blood gas parameters in an ED.

Background And Aims: Sampling from arteries for the analysis of blood gases is a common procedure in emergency departments (ED). The procedure is painful for the patients and causes concern for the medical personnel due to possible complications, such as hematoma, infection, ischemia, and formation of fistula or aneurism. The present study compared the results of capillary and arterial blood gases analyses (CBG and ABG) to emphasizing a less aggressive technique with the fewest complications for this procedure.
