Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS windows program. \u0000Results: Among the 80 children 39 cases (48.75%) were female and 41 cases (51.25%) were male with the average of 17.29±2.43 months. 7 patients (8.75%) were diagnosed with lobar pneumonia. Cough, tachypnea and Crackles were more common symptoms in lobar pneumonic patients. Leukocytosis (more than 15000/microliter) was more prominent in pneumonic patients versus control as well as lobar pneumonia versus non-lobar (p<0.05). The CRP with 3+ level was prominent in lobar pneumonic patients (p=0.02). The mean of ESR in lobar group was higher than non-lobar group (p=0.001). The PCT level of 2ng/mL could consider as cut off point of lobar and non-lobar pneumonia. The PCT level of 0.5ng/mL could consider as cut off point between pneumonic and healthy children. \u0000Conclusion: Serum level of PCT is higher in lobar pneumonia than non-lobar pneumonia in children with cut off point of 2ng/mL.","PeriodicalId":16681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of patient safety and quality improvement","volume":"47 1","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79032860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the aim of this study was compare of anxiety disorders symptoms and related transdiagnostic factors in individuals with type 2 diabetes and healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: In an ex-post facto study, 63 individual with type 2 diabetes and 63 healthy individuals were selected by convenient sampling method. The participates completed generalized anxiety disorder scale (2006), severity measure for panic disorder-adult (2013), social phobia inventory (2000), cognitive avoidance questionnaire (2008), intolerance of uncertainty scale (1994), metacognition questionnaire (2004), acceptance and action questionnaire-II (2011) and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (2006). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results showed that there was significant difference between two groups in generalized anxiety (P=0.0001) and panic symptoms (P=0.009). However, no difference was observed between both groups considering the symptoms of social anxiety disorder (P=0.79). Also, there is significant difference between two groups in all transdiagnostic factors, namely cognitive avoidance (P=0.0001), intolerance of uncertainty (P=0.009), negative beliefs about worry (P=0.0001), maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (P=0.01), except experiential avoidance (P=0.22).

These results indicated the importance of transdiagnostic factors as well as the development of transdiagnostic psychotherapy programs along with therapeutic treatments for diabetic patients.","PeriodicalId":16681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of patient safety and quality improvement","volume":"47 1","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87480451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials & Methods: participants were 120 Chronic Urticaria patients with H. Pylori infected and positive Urease Breath Test (UBT) who refer to Quaem Hospital in Mashhad. Participants were randomly assigned two groups, control group received classic treatment of Urticaria (H1 & H2 Blockers) and investigation group was additional treatment by triple drug therapy (20 mg of Robeprazole twice daily, 500 mg of Clarithromycin twice daily, and 1gr of Amoxicillin twice daily during 14 days). Within one, three & six months after therapy symptoms were separately analyzed in two groups by using urticaria severity score. Results: As to the age factor, no significant difference was found (P-value: 0.863). However, the average age with regard to gender, was significantly higher in men (P-value: 0.006).The majority of patients who had been exposed to combination drug treatment, were significantly better cured than the group exposed to classic treatment lonely (P-value < 0.001) and many components of urticaria severity score showed better improvement respectively (P-value < 0.001).
