Read More Background: Early diagnosis and treatment of Wilson's disease in childhood can reduce long-term and life-threatening complications in these patients. Considering the lack of a database of Wilson's patients in Iranian patients, the present study was carried out with the primary objective of determining clinical and laboratory presentations in children with Wilson's disease referred to Akbar Hospital in Mashhad.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on children under 18 years of age with Wilson's disease who had presented to Akbar Children's Hospital in Mashhad during 2018-2019. The acquired information included demographic information, primary clinical symptoms (hepatic, cerebral, and psychological symptoms), and laboratory findings, including liver laboratory profile (AST, ALT, and ALP tests), coagulation tests, albumin, total serum protein, and direct and indirect bilirubin, and Wilson's diagnostic tests.Results: In total, 25 patients with an average age of 15.88±4.54 years were included in this study. Hepatosplenomegaly, Kayser–Fleischer ring, and jaundice were observed in 72%, 68%, and 48% of patients, respectively. Gender of patients was not significantly correlated with the clinical and laboratory findings of Wilson’s disease (P<0.05). 24-hour urine copper level was higher than 100 micrograms in 82.6% of patients. Serum ceruloplasmin level was lower than 200 mg/liter in 90% of patients. Serum ceruloplasmin levels in patients with ascites (P=0.04) and patients with lower limb edema (P=0.02) were higher than those in patients without these findings. Moreover, a lower 24-hour urinary copper level was detected in patients with seizures (P=0.03), and patients with depression (P=0.005) compared to patients without these conditions. The 24-hour urine copper levels were higher in patients with jaundice than in those without jaundice (P=0.01).Conclusion: Hepatosplenomegaly, Kayser–Fleischer ring, and jaundice are common symptoms in under 18-year-old patients with Wilson's disease. Considering the findings regarding the high levels of serum ceruloplasmin and copper in 24-hour urine in a significant

Read More Background: The current study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties, including internal consistency, content validity, construct validity of the scale through which the attitude of girls and menopause women were compared.Methods: This is a psychometric study on 350 healthy postmenopausal Iranian women referred to healthcare centers in Semnan and Mashhad cities. The study is conducted in two phases: revalidating the scale of Attitude toward Menopause (ATM) in the Iranian context and then comparing the attitudes of girls and menopause women. Due to the special circumstances caused by the Corona crisis and the lack of direct access to girls, as well as the limited research time, a number of ATM questionnaires were completed online and some in person by 200 postmenopausal women and 200 adolescent girls.Results: Mean age of subjects were 55.45±5.58 years. Cronbach's alpha was 0.68% and original modified model was reported to be unidentified. Therefore, the exploratory factor analysis was performed through principal-component analysis with varimax rotation. Given the results of scree plot, eigenvalues and the interpretability of the different factor solutions, five factors were identified as the most appropriate predictors of attitude toward menopause. These five factors explained 48% of variance. In the second phase of the study, 200 postmenopausal women and 200 girls participated. The mean score of attitude of postmenopausal women was 45.67 66 5.66 and the mean score of attitude of girls was 48.75 74 5.74; and the difference between the mean scores was found to be statistically significant (00 0.001). The correlation coefficient between age and attitude score was equal to (r = -0.228, P˂0.001). In other words, for each year of increasing the age of the participants, their attitude score was reduced by 0.228 and this decrease was significant.Conclusions: Our findings revealed that attitude toward menopause Checklist (ATM) should be modified in accordance with Iranian culture to predispose for feasible assessment of attitudes towards menopause. Further investigations are needed to evaluate all of the psychometric properties of this scale. The findings of the second part of the study showed that the attitude of adolescent girls is significantly more positive than postmenopausal women.
