Read More Background: Children under five years of age are the primary victims of malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate risk factors of stunting among children less than 5 years in North-Western Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 3300 children under 5 years of age in West Azerbaijan province. Selected households were visited by fifteen trained teams. Collected data were consisted of name, date of birth, height, weight, sex, breastfeeding status, age, stunting status (Without stunting, moderate, severe), place of residence, care quality, completion of growth curve and knowledge of mothers about heath cares. The data were analyzed using STATA version 20. Chi-square, binary logistic, and ordinal regression were used. P-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.Results: Among 3300 children, a total of 436 individuals (13.2%) had stunting (moderate: 302 children/severe: 134 children). The Mean weight, height, BMI, month of birth and breast feeding duration in children were 11.89±3.76, 86.26±15.05, 15.88±2.44, 6.23±3.47 and 4.13±5.20, respectively. No significant independency was found among children with/without stunting regarding having breast feeding or cow milk, using baby pacifier and number of under-5-year children in each family (p>0.05). Other qualitative variables were not homogenous (p<0.05). In binary logistic regression analysis, age and weight were presented as risk factors in the model, that is, by increasing one unit of the age, provided that the other variables remain constant in the model, the risk of stunting increases for approximately four times, because the odds ratio (OR = 4.034) is significant (p = 0.021 ). Weight variable also produced such a situation (OR = 4.437, p = 0.007). Assuming that other variables remain constant in the model, the risk of shifting to the higher order of the stunting variable is roughly doubled in the model, because the odds ratio (OR = 2.285) is significant (p = 0.005). Height was a preventive variable in the model for developing stunting (OR = 0.204, p = 0.002). In ordinal regression analysis, weight was presented as a risk factor in the model (OR = 2.285, p = 0.005) and height was a preventive variable (OR = 0.450, p = 0.001).Conclusion: According to the results of the study, prevalence of stunting is high indicating the necessary measures in this regard. Weight, height and age are appropriate predictors to predict stunting in children

Read More Background: Osteoporosis is one of the most common problems in health systems and a hidden epidemic in the modern world. The aim of the present study was to investigate osteoporosis-related nutritional behaviors based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in adolescent girls in Sari, Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 341 12-16-year high school students who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method in Sari, Iran. Data collection was carried out using a TPB-based researcher-made questionnaire consisting of three parts; part A included questions on demographic characteristics and osteoporosis-related diseases, part B discussed osteoporosis nutritional behaviors based on TPB constructs, including behavioral attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention, and part C was the Food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Part A and B were completed by students and part C was completed through an interview, taking into account the number of food units based on the recommended standards of the Food Pyramid. Data analysis was also performed using regression analysis, Pearson correlation and ANOVA in SPSS ver. 20.Results: The present study demonstrated a significant relationship between perceived behavioral control and osteoporosis predisposing nutritional behaviors (P<0.05). Also, among TPB constructs, subjective norm (β=0.138) and intention (β=0.136) were the main determinants of osteoporosis-preventive behaviors; and subjective norm (β=0.182) and knowledge (β=0.155) played the most important roles in determining osteoporosis-predisposing nutritional behaviors.Conclusion: Based on the results, there is a significant relationship between TPB constructs and osteoporosis-related nutritional behaviors. Considering the role of TPB constructs and lower consumption of the osteoporosis-preventing group, there is a need for educational interventions among adolescents, parents and other people influencing adolescents.

Read More Background: Echocardiography currently represents a significant proportion of cardiac medical expenditure, while many researchers believe that it would be wise to limit the use of this technique, through the enhancement of diagnosis techniques contributing to clinical auscultation. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of detection of the newly invented Doppler Phonolyser Machine (DPM) compared to the findings by the conventional stethoscope in detecting heart murmurs.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a total of 112 patients referred to the pediatric cardiology clinic were enrolled between Jan. 2017 and Jan. 2018. In step one, the patients were initially examined by a pediatric cardiologist, and then in step two, they were randomly divided into two groups (A and B) and were blindly re-examined by a 2nd-year pediatric resident. In Group A (Statoscope group), heart auscultation was performed using only a conventional Statoscope whereas, in Group B (Statoscope + DPM), heart sounds were detected and analyzed using a stethoscope and DPM. In the third step, the diagnostic results made by the pediatric cardiologist and the pediatric resident in groups A and B were compared with the final diagnostic echocardiography made by a pediatric cardiologist.Results: Heart murmurs as one of the most common reasons for cardiologist referrals comprise about 65% of referrals to pediatric cardiologists. There was only a moderate correlation between a stethoscope and echocardiography to identify cardiac abnormality based on heart murmurs (56%), while there was a significant correlation between the diagnoses made by Doppler Phonolyser accompanied with the conventional statoscope when compared with the echocardiography results (٪85).Conclusion: Doppler Phonolyser is an innovative smart machine that could efficiently detect and analyze abnormal heart sounds and might play a key role in more accurate and earlier diagnosis of congenital and structural heart defects by general physicians and non-cardiologist specialists, and may potentially reduce the cost of treatment as well as anxiety of the patient's family.
