Read More Background: Constipation as a common disease in children can cause significant complications for this age group, so that one third of children have chronic symptoms which may continue into adulthood. The causes of chronic functional constipation are largely unknown; and it may be a multifactorial disorder. Gallbladder dysfunction in chronic idiopathic constipation may be an underlying cause of idiopathic constipation. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the gallbladder mobility ultrasound in children with chronic functional constipation in Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahvaz.Methods: Children between the ages of 3 to 13 years in Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahvaz, who suffered from functional constipation, were visited by a pediatric digestive and liver subspecialty physician after referring to the pediatric gastroenterology clinic of the hospital and were referred to us for conducting gallbladder ultrasound. In this study, 50 patients with chronic functional constipation and 50 healthy individuals (control group) were studied.Results: The mean age of the participants in this study was 6.96 with a standard deviation of 2.44 years. In this study, 40 patients (40%) were boys and 60 patients (60%) were girls. The mean volume of gallbladder in fasting mode (preprandial) and after meal (postprandial) in individuals of the case group were 5.66 and 4.17 cm3 with standard deviations of 0.80 and 0.64, respectively, and in the control group were 6.08 and 3.06 cm3 with standard deviations of 0.97 and 0.75, respectively. The thickness of the gallbladder wall in the fasting mode (preprandial) and after meal (postprandial) in the case group was 1.50 and 1.67 mm with standard deviations of 0.24 and 0.29 mm, respectively, and in the control group, it is equal to 1.39 and 1.69 with standard deviations of 0.22 and 0.28, respectively.A significant relationship was observed between case and control groups (P <0.05) in terms of gallbladder volume after meals, but no significant relationship was found between gallbladder volume and the gallbladder wall thickness in the fasting mode and after meal in neither of the case and control groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Due to the slow mobility of the gallbladder in patients with chronic functional constipation, it can be concluded that gallbladder dysfunction can be a cause of chronic functional constipation.

Read More Background: Components of self-determination theory work very well in physical education settings. However, very few studies in Iran focused on this issue which might be due to the lack of validated questionnaires. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of a Persian questionnaire derived and translated from four scales assessing the self-determination components of physical activity/education in adolescent students.Methods: This study used an exploratory-confirmatory method. The participants were 400 high-school students (16-18 years old) studying in Aliabad Katoul, Golestan, Iran, during 2019. The items of the English standard questionnaires were converted into Persian using the translation-retranslation method. Subsequently, nine experts confirmed the validity of the final Persian questionnaire. The questionnaires included Needs Support in Physical Education Questionnaire which is used to measure autonomy support; Sport Climate in Physical Education Questionnaire which is used for measuring needs satisfaction; Intrinsic Motivation Scale which is used to measure intrinsic motivation for having physical education in the leisure-time; and Intention to Physical Activity used to measure intention to perform physical activities outside the school. We employed factor analysis and structural equation modeling to examine the validity of the questionnaire.Results: The descriptive statistics showed that all boys and girls were in almost identical ages. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the Persian version of the questionnaires had relatively high powers for assessing self-determination components in physical education (GoF=0.729). Moreover, perceived autonomy support positively affected the needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation in physical education. Moreover, intrinsic motivation in physical education was transferred into intrinsic motivation outside school and subsequently affected intention to do physical activities (all T>1.96).Conclusions: The Persian questionnaire validated in this study enjoys a relatively high power for assessing the self-determination components in physical education. Moreover, autonomy support plays an important role in motivating students to be physically active.

Read More Background: Critical congenital heart diseases (CCHDs) are the most common group of congenital malformations in newborns, the mortality and morbidity of which may be prevented by early diagnosis. As a simple and noninvasive technique in detecting hypoxemia, pulse oximetry can help us in the early diagnosis of complex congenital heart diseases. This study aims to provide information for future clinical and health policy decisions for making a Uniform Screening Panel in the early detection of CCHDs in newborns.Methods: In this study, we determine the prevalence of congenital heart disease in newborns with Oxygen Saturation in the Maternity ward of Imam-Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran.Material and Methods: This is a prospective clinical study which was conducted in the Maternity ward of Imam-Reza hospital between March 2018 and March 2019. We recorded Spo2 of the newborns between 4 to 24 hours after delivery by a trained general practitioner using RS232C/NOVAMETRIX Pulse Oximetry device. The newborn also underwent a comprehensive clinical examination by a neonatologist, and further cardiological evaluation was performed afterward. A pediatric cardiologist performed Echocardiography for the final diagnosis if there was no evidence of other non-cardiac pathologies. Statistical analysis of data was done by SPSS version 24.Results: Out of a total of 418 newborns screened by a pulse oximetry device, four newborns were screen-positive, and had pulse oximetry tests with Spo2 results. Two of these patients were reported to have complex congenital heart diseases, subsequently. The remaining two newborns with positive screening tests had no congenital heart disease in echocardiography evaluation.Conclusion: This study revealed that a pulse oximetry screening test could be beneficial for detecting many of the newborns with CCHDs before hospital discharge. However, further research studies with larger sample sizes are necessary for a definitive result.
