Introduction and Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures and home quarantine measures resulted in a myriad of mental health challenges for teenagers, notably heightened levels of stress and anxiety, with far-reaching implications. Against this backdrop, the current study seeks to identify the factors associated with anxiety and fear among adolescent girls during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent post-pandemic period.
Method: This study conducted a comprehensive review using keywords such as Anxiety, Fear, Phobia, Adolescent, Teenager, Teen, Coronavirus, Corona, and COVID-19. Specifically, articles with Iranian affiliations were scrutinized in PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and SID databases spanning from July 19 to August 26, 2023.
Results: A comprehensive analysis of 16 studies revealed significant associations between various factors and the level of COVID anxiety among teenagers. Specifically, factors such as effective communication skills, robust social support networks, mindfulness practices, resilience, and optimistic attitudes were found to mitigate COVID anxiety levels. Conversely, factors such as insomnia, excessive exposure to news updates, and prolonged periods of quarantine were associated with heightened COVID anxiety levels among teenagers.
Conclusion: Adolescents have exhibited psychological vulnerability amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly manifesting symptoms of anxiety and fear. The reviewed studies primarily focused on elucidating the associations between various factors and anxiety levels. Hence, future research endeavors are encouraged to delve into investigating efficacious methodologies aimed at fortifying these associations and bolstering beneficial factors. This approach is vital for averting the deleterious consequences of anxiety in the post-COVID-19 era.

Context: Childhood pre-obesity and obesity rates have been rapidly growing worldwide over the past decades. Copper homeostasis is gaining increasing attention in the physiopathology of obesity. Strong evidences indicate that a disturbance of copper homeostasis plays an important role in the development of obesity and its related comorbidities. Under physiological conditions, copper plays a significant role in regulatory, immunologic, and antioxidant functions resulting in protection against inflammation and oxidative stress, and consequently against the known comorbidities of obesity. Nevertheless, despite the growing body of research, information about copper status in obesity, particularly in childhood obesity, is scarce.
Evidence Acquisition: The aim of this brief narrative review is to examine the latest data published in the last five years using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Unpaywall (COBISS), and EBSCO to emphasize the major current findings in research related to this topic.
Results and Conclusions: The most recent studies have yielded strong evidence in support of altered copper status in childhood obesity, nevertheless, further studies are needed to clarify the role of copper in the physiopathology of childhood obesity.

Background: Failure to Thrive (FTT) is known as one of the common developmental disorders in infants. Although the improvement effect of zinc supplementation in these patients was reported in some past studies, the results were conflicting.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc supplementation on factors related to growth in infants with FTT by conducting a meta-analysis.
Methods: Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were comprehensively searched to find RCTs investigating the effect of zinc on growth-related factors in infants with FTT. Eligible studies were extracted after screening their relevant information. The pooled effect size was estimated as a weighted mean difference with a 95% confidence interval using the random effect model method.
Results: Out of 85 reviewed papers, 4 studies were eligible to enter this review. The present meta-analysis revealed that zinc supplementation in infants with FTT led to a significant increase in weight (WMD, -0.25 Kg; 95% CI, (0.02 to 0.49), weight-for-age Z-score (WMD, 0.16; 95% CI, (0.03 to 0.28), and height-for-age Z-score (WMD, 0.15; 95% CI, (0.001 to 0.30), compared to control groups. In contrast, zinc supplementation had no significant effect on height and IGF-1 serum level.
Conclusion: The findings of the current meta-analysis indicated the effectiveness of zinc supplementation in improving the developmental status of infants with FTT. However, due to the small number of included trials, it was impossible to draw definitive conclusions, and conducting RCTs with a larger sample size and higher sensitivity is needed.

Background: Septic arthritis is an uncommon condition in neonates. It is a serious disorder, especially because of the possibility of sequelae if not identified and treated early. Also, because of the rarity of this condition in neonates and the paucity of signs and symptoms, the diagnosis of septic arthritis is more difficult than in older children. The published literature is limited to case series, which is why the purpose of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive summary of neonatal septic arthritis based on the existing literature. This study aims to identify the changing trends over time, specifically focusing on intravenous canulation as a major risk factor observed in our unit that sparked the undertaking of the study.
Method: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines were used. Three search engines were used for a total of 239 studies. Twenty-six studies were screened in full text.Sixteen articles underwent a quantitative analysis. Due to limited data and heterogenous reporting, the data were summarized descriptively.
Results: The total number of babies and joints studied was 307 and 313, respectively, of which the proportion of male babies was mentioned in 12 case series, accounting for 136 (228) (60% [42-71%]). The most common presenting symptoms were swelling at the involved joint, erythema, and decreased range of motion in variable order. The most common site of involvement was the hip joint (42%), followed by the knee joint (27%).Staphylococcus aureus (40%) was the most commonly cultured pathogen, followed by Klebsiella (18%). Antibiotics alone were reported in only 12% (38 babies) of the cases. Open surgery was performed on 16% of the 49 babies. The rest of the babies responded to joint aspiration and irrigation, with or without immobilization. Prompt laboratory and radiographic evaluations can help reduce delays in diagnosis and improve outcomes. Blood and tissue cultures are positive in most of the cases.Previous culture reports for the same unit will guide the addition of empirical antibiotics.
Conclusions: In our case series, the majority of the babies were premature. The most common joint involved is the hip joint. The most common underlying cause is sepsis and cathetarization. Intrvenous canulation is also a major risk factor because of the continuity of metaphysis and ephiphysial vessels. The most common presenting symptom is local signs. Unexplained fever and irritability make it better to look for a local examination of joints. Follow-up is mandatory, as a long-term sequel is more.

Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder that is highly frequent in children. This leads to serious health challenges for children of different severity levels. Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory helps parents get involved in their child's care, leading to better outcomes and healthcare experiences. So, this case study examines the effectiveness of applying Orem's self-care nursing philosophy to a child with SMA and his parents.
Methods: This study used Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory to treat particular self-care deficiencies relating to mobility, eating, swallowing, and respiratory function in a 3-year-old child with SMA Type I. The researcher recognized patient’s lack of self-care and created a tailored plan for self-management training. Understanding the needs of the patient, organizing the implementation, and creating the educational system were the initial steps. The final phase entailed putting the self-care program into action and assessing its success. Two methods were used to gather data: structured interviews and surveys on Orem and self-care ability. A 60-minute educational intervention was broken up into four in-person sessions.
Results: This study illustrates the useful application of theories in illness management. This theory was used to identify deficiencies in movement, feeding, swallowing, and respiratory function. Nursing interventions focused on neuromuscular deficits, while educational interventions enhanced parents' awareness.
Conclusions: This case study investigates the usefulness of Orem's theory in controlling SMA, empowering parents, emphasizing patient-centered care, and the possible advantages of nursing theories in treating chronic diseases.

Background: The global COVID-19 epidemic has significantly impeded children's vaccination programs, endangering the public's health. Concerns have risen about the impact on vaccination coverage rates and the need for effective strategies to overcome these obstacles.
Objective: The aim of this study is to comprehend COVID-19's effects on the worldwide trend of childhood immunization.
Methods: A comprehensive search of the Web of Science database was conducted, covering the period from January 2020 to July 2023. The keywords used in English were TS = (("SARS-CoV-2" OR "COVID-19" OR "coronavirus") AND ("pediatric immunization" OR "childhood vaccination" OR "vaccine coverage")). Two authors independently assessed each study that satisfied the inclusion criteria. The PRISMA checklist guided the systematic review process, and VOSviewer software was used for bibliometric analysis.
Results: The initial search yielded 624 articles, leaving 62 articles for analysis. The most frequent keyword searches were COVID-19 (n = 37, Total Ling Strength =78). America was the most productive country (Documents n = 19, Citations =411). Furthermore, visualization mapping shows that The Journal of Vaccine was the top source, with Total Ling Strength = 1560 and citations =139. The disruptions were multifaceted and resulted from factors such as changes in vaccination coverage rates, vaccine hesitancy, missed or delayed vaccinations, catch-up immunization efforts, and disruptions to routine immunization programs. Declines in vaccination coverage were observed for various vaccines, including measles, polio, and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis.
Conclusions: The results show the critical need for action to minimize the COVID-19 pandemic's negative effects on childhood immunization. Policymakers and healthcare providers should prioritize restoring and strengthening immunization services, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and implementing catch-up vaccination programs.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a subtype of major depressive disorder, which appears to be correlated with having an infant with cleft lip and palate (CL/P).
Objectives: Since there is a dearth of research in this regard, this study aimed to compare the mothers of infants with CL/P and mothers of normal infants regarding PPD and suicidal thoughts.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 50 mothers of children with CL/P and 50 mothers of normal children who had recently given birth, and presented to the Research Center of Cranial Deformities, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, between September 2020 and 2021. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to assess PPD.
Results: The mean PPD score was 15.42±4.77 (range 5-24) and 10.3±6.7 (range 0-29) in mothers of children with CLP and those with normal children, respectively. The frequency of PPD was significantly higher among the mothers of CLP children, compared with mothers of normal children (χ2=25.25; P<0.005). No difference was reported between the mothers with PPD and those without it in terms of educational level (χ2=0.36; P=0.83), occupational status (χ2=0.13; P=0.71), or parity (P=0.93). Having suicidal thoughts had no significant correlation with having CLP children (P=0.11).
Conclusion: The PPD score and frequency of PPD were higher among mothers of children with CLP, compared with mothers of normal children; however, the frequency of suicidal thoughts was not significantly different between the two groups. Educational level, occupational status, and parity were not correlated with PPD or suicidal thoughts.

Background: Gavage feeding is associated adverse effects such as irritations on mouth, hyperactivity, problem in gag reflex, bradycardia and the parents’ unacceptance. Therefore, it is essential to undertake a comprehensive review of the of effects of breast milk and other pleasant odors that may reduce the transition time from gavage to oral feeding in preterm infants.
Methods: In this systematic review, English databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library were systematically searched without any time limitation up to February 10, 2022. The modified Jadad scale was also used to assess the quality of the articles. The inclusion criteria were all clinical trials evaluating the effect of aromatherapy on odors on the transition from gavage to oral feeding in preterm infants.
Results: 8 studies assessed the effects of aroma inhalation on the transition from gavage to oral feeding. Meta-analysis of these studies showed that preterm infants transitioned from tube feeding (Gavage (to oral feeding earlier in the groups stimulated by pleasant odors [standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.47; 95%CI: -0.64 to -0.31; heterogeneity; P=0.32; I2= 13%;8trials] and odor of breast Milk [SMD=-0.61; 95%CI: -0.64 to -0.31; heterogeneity; P=0.85; I2= 0%; 6 trials).] in comparison control group.
Conclusion: Our met-analysis supports the use of breast milk odor and other pleasant odors as a safe, noninvasive in reducing the transition time from gavage to oral feeding in preterm infants. Health provider should use effective and family-friendly interventions in providing care to their premature infants.

Context: Prevalence of short stature reported high in thalassemia major (TM) patients. It causes mental and social problems for them. As different cut-off point for growth retardation suggested in these patients, so it is very desirable if we find a careful cut-off age using statistical analysis to help patients before it is too late.
Evidence Acquisition: Data from 803 TM patients extracted from questionnaires filled face to face by operator. It contained demographic data, family, medical and drug history. All of height and weight measurements did only by one device. Mean age was 20 ± 7 y/o and 420 were females. Children (less than 20 y/o) formed 47% of participants. Patients that reported a major risk factor for osteoporosis omitted from this study. SPSS software used for statistical analysis
Results: Short stature found in 32% of patients. Being 10 and 11 y/o and older increased the risk of short stature, 28.5 and 21.4 times, respectively compared to younger patients (both P values <0.001). On the other hand after 7 y/o and to 18 y/o -like 10 y/o and 11 y/o- increases the risk of short stature. Also being 27 y/o and 30 y/o and older increases the risk short stature, 1.4 and 1.7 times, respectively compared to younger patients (P values, 0.042 and <0.018, respectively).
Conclusion: By our findings, we suggest that awareness about short stature and monitoring for it in thalassemics, should be done in their childhood. As we found being 7 y/o and older increases of risk of short stature, we suggest start of monitoring as early as 5 y/o.

Objectives: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders in children. According to the literature, there is a high prevalence of other anomalies and syndromes in infants diagnosed with CH. In this study, we aim to find the prevalence of concurrent anomalies and the prevalence of each one.
Methods: This was a systematic review study based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA).The research question was the comparing of children with and without CH in terms of having extra-thyroidal congenital anomalies. A systematic literature search through PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and the Web of Science databases used the following keywords: congenital hypothyroidism, congenital disabilities and congenital anomalies.
Results: From the 655 initially retrieved articles, 24 articles remained, and 4 additional references were found by reviewing the references of the final articles . Finally, 28 articles were selected. The prevalence of extra-thyroidal anomalies ranged from 5 to 50% in girls and from 4 to 80% in boys. 20% of the permanent CH patients and 13% of the patients with transient CH had extra-thyroidal congenital malformations. Cardiac anomalies were more prevalent in girls (F: M ratio 1.6[0.7 to 5.5]), and urogenital anomalies were more reported in boys. Most of the studies did not report the association between non-thyroidal anomalies and TSH, gender, etiology of CH, and transient and permanent CH.
Conclusion: Congenital anomalies are more common in CH patients compared with the general population, even in the absence of congenital syndromes or chromosomal abnormalities. The most common anomalies are cardiac, craniofacial, urogenital, and nervous system.

Ever since Alan Turing proposed the concept of using computers for intelligent simulation of behavior and critical thinking, artificial intelligence has progressed in various fields. In the field of medicine, artificial intelligence is used in three subfields: machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and computer vision. Considering the increasing use of AI in pediatric oncology and cancer treatment, there is a need for studies and research projects specifically focused on pediatric oncology. In the field of oncology, especially childhood malignancies, artificial intelligence can help doctors as a new tool.
