Case Presentation: We present the case of a 1-year-old girl with BS presenting with vomiting, poor feeding, and agitation. Physical examination revealed muscle weakness, developmental delay, and failure to thrive. Laboratory investigations revealed hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Urinary investigations revealed raised urinary chloride, sodium, potassium, and calcium levels. Renal ultrasound revealed a renal calculus in the lower calyx of the right kidney with hydronephrosis. Conclusions: The basic defect in BS is the loss of one of the transporters involved in sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb on the Henle's loop or apical K channel. BS is characterized by severe hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and hyperaldosteronism. In BS, increased urinary loss of sodium, potassium, and chloride is observed.

The four main characteristics of EVC syndrome include chondroectodermal dysplasia, polydactyly, congenital heart defects, and hypoplastic nails and teeth. Changes in the mechanical properties of the chest wall in infants with skeletal dysplasia reduce the functional residual capacity and cause respiratory failure. Here, we describe the case of a female patient with symptoms, including fever, poor feeding, and frequent cough, for one week before admission to a hospital in Sabzevar, Iran. The patient was a four-month-old girl with a medical history of EVC syndrome. She complained of fever, poor feeding, and repeated cough for one week. She had multiple labial frenal attachments in the upper and lower jaws, as well as long bones. The iliac bones were short and square-shaped, with the acetabulum in a transverse orientation. Slight elongation of the chest, along with short ribs, was also observed. Based on the findings, EVC syndrome should be considered as a pediatric disorder, which can damage multiple organs, including the skeletal system, and cause respiratory disorders and congenital heart disease. If this syndrome is not diagnosed in childhood, due to poor available treatments, patients will be at risk of disorders at older age.

Abstract Introduction: Gestational diabetes is a common disease during pregnancy which has many effects on the health of the neonates.This study aimed to evaluate the complications affecting newborns of diabetic mothers. Materials and Methods: The present study is an integrated review of available evidence and information based on published articles available in domestic and foreign electronic journals, selected from databases, such as SID, MAGIRAN, IRANMEDEX, PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, and CINHAL. The search was carried out using keywords, including "Gestational diabetes mellitus", "Complications", "Neonates", and similar words. In total, 274 articles were found, out of which 232 studies were excluded, and finally, 42 Persian and Latin articles were examined in this study. Results: The most significant complications affecting newborns of mothers with gestational diabetes include ...

In children, hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) happen malabsorption of phosphate and increasing of renal tubular loss.Case Presentation We present the case of a 4-year-old girl who had medical history of HR with failure to thrive (FTT). Child hospitalized several times due to osteomalacia and leg fractures. In physical examinations, there were obvious signs of rickets such as bow legs and hands, deviations of the wrist and chest pigeon. The results of blood tests showed low level of Phosphorus; but the level of calcium was normal. Radiography showed deformity of wrists and hands. ConclusionHR should be considered as one of the childhood disorders which impairs metabolism of bone mineralization and cause osteomalacia and bones fractures. If HR undiagnosed and remedies poor during childhood, in older ages would reveal automatic fractu...

Materials and Methods The present study was conducted with a qualitative method and "purposive" sampling. The study environment was NICU in the hospitals of Zahedan, Iran. Semi-structured interviews used for interview and data collection. A number of 24 participants with inclusion criteria were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis method was used with the conventional approach and inductive method with Graneheim and Lundman approach. Results Data analysis explored were categorized in three main themes: spiritual challenge of neonatal care with two-categories (palliative care, and care with love and affection); psychological / spiritual support challenges of family with two catego...

Parents try to find the ways to overcome their anxiety of chronic diseases such as asthma. This study was designed to determine the effect of massage therapy for children on anxiety level of mothers with asthmatic children. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of combined massage therapy for children with asthma on maternal anxiety is a clinical trial that was performed in asthma and allergy clinic of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2012. Methods: This study was a clinical trial that was carried out in asthma and allergy clinic of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2012. Sixty children with asthma aged 6-14 years were randomly allocated into two groups. Mothers in the massage group were instructed massage techniques, and they were asked to do massage therapy for their children 30 minutes every night at bedtime for one month in addition to standard ...

Massage may promote relaxation and relieve symptom. Thus, it is appropriate to explore the effectiveness of massage on symptom in patients with asthma. Methods: This study was a randomized-controlled trial that was performed in the Immunology and Allergy Clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. 60 children with allergic asthma of 6–12 year–old were invited to participate in this study; only 58 of them agreed. They were divided into two groups at random. Subjects in the massage therapy group received a 30 minute massage therapy by their parents at home before bedtime every night for 4 weeks in addition to the standard asthma treatment. The control group received the standard asthma treatment alone for 4 weeks. Both groups were given a diary notes to monitor symptoms. Results: The results of this study showed that symptom Scores in mass...

Data were gathered using English keywords, including “review,” “declaration,” “snowball,” and “chain referral,” as well as Persian keywords that are equivalents of the following: “purposeful sampling,” “snowball,” “qualitative research,” and “descriptive review.” The databases included Google Scholar, Scopus, Irandoc, ProQuest, Science Direct, SID, MagIran, Medline, and Cochrane. The search was limited to Persian and English articles written between 2005 and 2013. Results The preliminary search yielded 433 articles from PubMed, 88 articles from Scopus, 1 article from SID, and 18 articles from MagIran.
