Read More Background: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus, particularly prevalent in pediatric populations. This study aims to explore the correlation between blood gas parameters, serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years hospitalized with DKA at Heshmatieh Hospital in Sabzevar between 2016 and 2022.Methods: In this retrospective study, 84 patients diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were included. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed to assess pH, bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), and anion gap levels, which are key parameters for evaluating DKA severity and guiding clinical management. Renal function was evaluated using the blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as dehydration and metabolic disturbances during DKA may acutely impair kidney function. These laboratory markers were analyzed to explore their utility in monitoring both metabolic and renal status throughout the treatment course.Results: This investigation evaluates the interplay between these parameters to identify potential biomarkers for assessing DKA severity and predicting clinical outcomes. Preliminary findings suggest that abnormal blood gas values, elevated BUN/Cr ratios, and reduced eGFR levels are associated with more severe DKA presentations and prolonged hospital stays. The integration of these biomarkers into clinical practice may enhance early risk stratification, optimize fluid and electrolyte management, and improve overall patient outcomes.Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing pediatric DKA, emphasizing the role of laboratory parameters in guiding timely and effective interventions. Further research is warranted to validate these correlations and establish standardized protocols for their application in clinical settings.

Authors of this research have shared an experience on application of social network of Telegram for educational intervention in field of continued breast feeding and complementary feeding of children among Iranian women. Materials and Methods: In this research, social network of Telegram was employed to provide teachings associated with continued breastfeeding and complementary feeding of children to mothers based on the model of Center for Diseases Control of USA (CDC). 90 members, out of 125 mothers who were informed, became member of Telegram group voluntary with informed consent,namely that the participation rate was 72%. The Telegram group called "Mother’s love - Mother’s milk" was designed on August 2016 and has been active for 6 months until this date. The group has been active under the management of an experienced physician and consultation with a pharmacist. Results: Participants of this research reported cell phone, internet, physician, books, and journals as the most-used sources, respectively, to access to information about breast feeding and health of their children. Only five mother of group-member mothers were uneducated or had elementary education level. Also, it was determined that the higher percentage of women who joined Telegram group were housewives compared with the group who had no tendency to join group. 100% of members evaluated membership in Telegram group and subjects related to complementary feeding beneficial and 39 of 41 (95%) participants in an E-survey, were satisfied with learning, and 35 members (85.4%) were satisfied with teaching. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of social networks as potential educational field. Usage of this media, particularly among women groups under specific circumstance of pregnancy, can be beneficial.

Read More Background:This study sought to assess both the clinical manifestations, endoscopic findings, and the underlying etiology, among pediatric cases afflicted by gastrointestinal CMV infection.Methods: This retrospective study encompassed all pediatric patients diagnosed with GI-CMV who were referred to Akbar Children's Hospital in Mashhad, Iran, meeting the study inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria included all pediatric patients who underwent endoscopic examination. Comprehensive checklists were devised to document patients' clinical presentations, medical histories, and endoscopic findings, utilizing data extracted from patient records and systematically recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 23, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.Results: The study comprised seventeen patients, including ten females and seven males, with an overall mortality rate of 17.6%. Notably, 70.6% of the patients tested positive for GI-CMV infection by Endoscopy. Within the subset of patients diagnosed with this infection, 11.76% exhibited gastrointestinal bleeding, while an equal proportion were concomitantly diagnosed with either Crohn's disease or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Predominant findings included leukocytosis, diminished red blood cell (RBC) and platelet counts, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and abnormal liver function test results in approximately half of the cases. Endoscopic and colonoscopic evaluations revealed various pathological features such as esophagitis, gastric ulcers, antral nodularity, duodenal edema, as well as chronic and acute colitis involving the colon and rectum.Conclusion: Symptoms of CMV colitis tend to be nonspecific and can manifest across a spectrum ranging from mild to severe presentations. Notably, CMV-positive patients are predisposed to more severe forms of colitis, with prolonged hospitalizations and concomitant febrile episodes frequently noted in cases of CMV colitis associated with underlying IBD.
