Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is an approved laboratory method for detecting COVID-19 virus. Given that COVID-19 is considered an emerging disease, its diagnostic methods in children have not yet been well compared. Therefore, this study was designed to compare RT-PCR, lung CT scan, and anti-COVID-19 antibody results in hospitalized children with suspected COVID-19.\u0000Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients under 18 years suspected COVID-19 admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd, Iran, from February 2020 to February 2021. All hospitalized children who have suspected COVID-19 based on their initial clinical symptoms or signs and underwent RT - PCR were included in the study. Demographic data such as age, sex, contact history with COVID-19 patients, clinical manifestations, outcome, comorbidities, and information on other paraclinical procedures by checklist were collected.\u0000Results: In total, 53.3% were male, and 59% were under five years old. The most common symptom was fever (81%), followed by respiratory distress (34.3%) and diarrhea (26.7%), and cough (19%).

The use of herbal medicine for asthma is rooted in traditional knowledge. Scientific evaluation of these historical documents could be valuable to find new potential applications in conventional medicine. Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM), which is widely known with the manuscripts of Avicenna and Rhazes, is one of the most ancient medical set of beliefs.\u0000Methods: In this study, firstly we introduce a series of medicinal plants that would be enormously valuable for treating asthma on the basis of Avicenna (The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna). After that, we review medicinal plants properties found in the pharmacological studies from electronic databases and then discuss their mechanism of action in asthma. \u0000For a detailed review, relevant abstracts and articles related to the above-mentioned areas were selected, including review articles on the subjects, along with clinical trial studies in animals and humans.\u0000Results: The physicians of ancient Iran such as Avicenna treated asthma patients with a variety of medicinal herbs. Some of these herbs are currently used, while others have the potential to be used in the future of asthma management.\u0000Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the investigated plants are consistent with new studies; therefore, different components of these herbs can be utilized in manufacturing new drugs.

It reflects the quality of nutrition and life of mothers as well as the rate of healthcare services that mothers and children are provided with by societies. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting neonatal mortality by using a bagging neural network in Rapidminer Software. Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted on 8053 births (including 1605 death cases and 6448 control cases) all over Iran in 2015. Factors such as maternal risk factors, mother’s age, gestational age, child gender, birth weight, birth order, and congenital anomalies were utilized as the predictor variables of the bagging neural network. Some criteria including the area under the ROC curve, as well as the property and sensitivity of the bagging neural network, were compared with the neural network model. And the bagging neural network with 99.24% precision rate enjoyed better results in predicting those factors affecting neonatal mortality.ResultsOur suggested method revealed that gestational age is the most significant predictor factor of a neonate's status at birth time. Besides, 1-minute Apgar, need for resuscitation, 5-minute Apgar, birth weight, congenital anomalies, and birth order, as well as diabetes and preeclampsia in mothers, were identified as the most significant predictor factors after the gestational age.ConclusionFactors discovered in this study can be considered to decrease neonatal mortality.

The sampling method was two-stage cluster sampling design. The data collection tool a standard checklist consisted of demographic, laboratory and dental characteristics. Examination was performed by a dentist on a dental unit and the dental indicators were measured for two groups. Also, salivary cotinine was measured and recorded using ELISA method by special cotinine kit (De salimetrics medi tec, USA). Univariate and Multivariable Logistic Regression model and area under the ROC curve were used to data analysis by STATA 14 software. Results: Univariate logistic regression model showed a statistically significant difference between the exposed and unexposed groups with passive smoking in term of the salivary cotinine level, age , sex , decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) index, decayed, and filled teeth (dft) index and missing teeth (mt) (P-Value ≤0.20). However, multiple logistic regression model showed a statistically significant relationship between the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) index and passive smoking (OR=1.28; 95% CI: 1.05 – 1.38). Conclusion: This study showed that the risk of decay of deciduous teeth is higher in children exposed to passive smoking, therefore, passive smoking should be considered in the implementation of programs to prevent tooth decay in children.","PeriodicalId":51591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42407460","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}
