Aim of study to evaluate and compare left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function of the heart based on echocardiographic criteria in children with moderate to severe asthma and non-asthmatic children referred to Hazrat Rasouland Firoozabadi Hospitals of Tehranin 2019. Methods: In this case-control study, 50 patients with a definite diagnosis of moderate to severe asthma(case group) and 50 healthy individuals (control group) were studied and compared in terms of clinical and echocardiographic measures. Blood pressure, heart rate, body height and weight of all children were recorded. The patients who were >6 years underwent pulmonary function tests using spirometry. Conventional and TDI echocardiography was performed bya single experienced pediatric cardiologist on two groups blindly and echocardiographic data was collected.Results: The results showed that the left ventricular stroke volume was significantly lower in patients with asthma. Also, in the right ventricular SV, significantly lower values were found in the group of patients under study than healthy individuals (P=0.01). The E/A ratio in both groups was higher than one with a mean and standard deviation of 1.72±0.26 in the case group compared to 1.92±0.32 which was not significantly different.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that asthma can affect ventricular contraction in children.

Convex growth arrest (CGA) is a therapeutic method aiming at inhibiting growth on the curve convexity while remained growth of concavity corrects the scoliotic curve over time. In the view of controversies in current clinical studies for efficiency of CGA in CS patients, we performed a systematic review of the literature to clarify the debate. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify studies assessing CGA outcome in CS patients, in following databases and search engines: Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CCTR), EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Two authors screened the search results and selected the studies by the supervision of senior authors.Results: In 19 studies, enrolling 363 patients, age at surgery was 58.76 months ranging from 4 to 216 months. Anterior and posterior hemiepiphysiodesis was the most common approach. Eight studies added instrumentation to CGA. Follow-up mean was 64.57 months. Nine studies reported true epiphysiodesis effect (postoperative and final follow-up CCA difference): of 162 patients, 69 improved, 59 stabilized, and 34 progressed. Other studies reported preoperative and final follow-up CCA difference: of 88 patients, 49 improved, 32 stabilized, and 7 progressed. Preoperative curve magnitude, sagittal plane deformities, age <5 years, and type of spinal anomalies did not affect CGA outcome.

Therefore, this study was designed and performed to determine the status of Helicobacter pylori infection in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura referred to Dr. Mohammad Kermanshahi Hospital in 2019. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 68 children with ITP were evaluated for Helicobacter pylori infection using stool antigen test. Information on Helicobacter pylori was collected using a checklist along with data on gender, age, type of ITP (acute / chronic), primary platelet counts, duration of ITP, and history of receiving treatment for H. pylori infection.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, half of the ITP patients had Helicobacter pylori infection, but there was no significant relationship between the type of ITP and its duration with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Objective: This systematic review was conducted to determine the heritability of daughters’ age of menarche. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a complete search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, and CINAHL electronic databases in English with no time limitation.
