Purpose:Trauma may lead to serious complications in children patients.The purpose of this study was to investigate prognosis in children with traumatic injuries.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted on all of the children (＜18 years old) who had suffered traumatic injuries and transferred to the emergency department of Imam Hussein Hospital by emergency medical services.After selecting the children,a checklist including information such as demographic characteristics,trauma type,consciousness level,and final outcome was recorded.Finally,the data were analyzed using t-test,Chi-square test and ANOVA.Results:In total of 564 children were investigated.Among them,70％ were males,and 33.2％ were in the age range of 5-12 years.The mechanism of injuries in 97.9％ of the cases was blunt trauma.The most common chief complaint among the affected children was nausea.The majority of them had stable vital signs and normal neurological tests results.However,1.06％ of them died during hospitalization.The results indicated that the final outcome in the children affected by traumatic injuries is significantly related to the type of trauma,the location of traumatic event,the vehicle used to transport them to emergency departments and their Glasgow coma scale score (p ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Considering the young age of the child patients and over half of trauma happened at home,it is important to raise parents' awareness about the risky places and activities,which were likely to result in traumatic injuries for children.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and it is the second leading cause of cancer mortality for women after lung cancer in Iran. Given the high prevalence of breast cancer, it is of crucial importance to determine reproductive risk factors of breast cancer. Methods: A total of 139 female patients suffering from breast cancer (the case group) and 279 healthy females (the control group) who were age-matched participated in the study over the period from March 2018 to March 2019. Demographic and reproductive variables, including the number of pregnancies, breastfeeding, history of oral contraceptive use, abortion history, age at first menstruation and age at first childbirth, were all recorded via survey. Conditional Logistic regression was employed to calculate OR (CI: 95%). Results: The mean age of breast cancer patients was 50.8 ± 8.31. First degree family history of breast cancer, History of oral contraceptive use and delaying first pregnancy drastically increased the chance of breast cancer whereas breastfeeding and menstruation after the age of 14 reduced the chance of breast cancer. Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that the age at first birth, use of oral contraceptives, first degree family history of breast cancer and lack of breastfeeding have a significant relationship with breast cancer. Thus, women who have experienced such factors are susceptible to breast cancer and need to be prioritized for preventive treatments and screening.
