The main purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of swimming training on reducing coping behaviors, cognitive problems and inattention of Elementary School female students with hyperactivity disorder.Method: The present applied research follows a descriptive-analytical method and a pre-post test experimental-control design. The participants included children with signs of hyperactivity (age=7.2±1.6 years) from welfare centers of Tabriz. The participants were randomly assigned to two experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. Before the initiation of the training program, the Conners questionnaire (parent form) was completed by the parents. The training was held every week in two 45-minute sessions for 2 months. At the end of the training, a practical test was performed according to the standards of the province sports board, and the scores were recorded on special sheets. After completing the exercises and testing, the Conners questionnaire for parents was again distributed among the parents. T tests were used for analyzing the data.Results: The results showed that swimming had a significant positive effect on reducing coping behaviors, cognitive problems and inattention of elementary school hyperactive girls.Conclusion: Exercise strengthens the primary atrial nervous system and promotes superior brain functions such as motor skills and integration in action, which can reduce social maladaptation by creating a conducive environment for increased self-confidence and empowerment","PeriodicalId":51591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"9 1","pages":"14896-14906"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42981916","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}

Infertility is one of the most important complications in male patients with CAH, and testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are known to be the most important caause of infertility in these patients. In the present study, the prevalence of TART and factors associated with its development were evaluated in patients with CAH.\u0000Methods & Materials: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study evaluating 30 males (6 month -18 years) with the classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) through testicular ultrasonography. Data including age, bone age, puberty, 21-OHD phenotype (salt wasting (SW) or simple virilizing (SV)) and serum levels of 17- hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), androstenedione and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were records.\u0000Results: The prevalence of TART was determined 56.7%, which increased with age with higher prevalence in children >12 (52.9%) year old. The mean age in patients with TART was 12.4 ± 4.18 years. No association was found between TART and 21-OHD phenotype, androstenedione, or 17OHP levels, but an association was found between TART and elevated levels of ACTH (p= 0.049), advanced bone age (p= 0.030) and puberty (p= 0.003).\u0000 Conclusion: According to the results, TART is very common and can occur in pre-pubertal and young patients, and the disease control could be a factor associated with its development.

Clinical manifestations of disease and their severity have considerable variations in patients having similar mutation in CFTR gene. This can be due to different polymorphisms, epigenetic changes and microRNAs (miRNAs) as gene modifiers. Considering the proven roles of miR-301b and miR-302b on infection and inflammation, expression of these miRNAs might change in CF patients.\u0000Materials and Methods: In this study, 30 CF patients (homozygous for ΔF508 mutation) and 30 healthy individuals were participated and their demographic data were recorded. The whole RNA was extracted from serum samples and cDNA was synthesized. Using Real-Time PCR, expression levels of miR-301b and miR-302b were measured between patient and normal groups. Patient classification was carried out based on Shwachman-Kulczycki score, and expression levels of these miRNAs were determined in these classifications. All statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS software V21.\u0000Results: Statistical analyses of qRT-PCR results showed a significant increase in serum levels of miR-301b and miR-302b expression (p-Values of 0.02 and 0.03; fold changes of 3.73 and 1.95, respectively) in CF patients compared to healthy controls. A significant increase (p<0.05) in miR-301b expression level was observed in severe, moderate and mild groups, while miR-302b expression level was increased in CF patients of severe and moderate groups according to Shwachman-Kulczycki score.\u0000Conclusion\u0000Expression levels of miR-301b and miR-302b are different based on clinical scoring system.
