Background: Obesity is a disease (2) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rate (3) and needs extensive preventive procedures and effective interferences. Children with obese parent are in danger of becoming obese in their adolescence and adulthood even when trying to keep their weight stable.Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to investigate whether parental obesity can trigger obesity in children or not.Method...

Introduction and Aims: Metabolic syndrome (METs) has different complications such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes type 2. There is no uniform definition for METs. In this study, we aimed to define METs from different viewpoints to determine the most appropriate method that could be used for early METs diagnosis in general population and treat them immediately.Materials and Methods: This study was an analytic cros...

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate hematological indices especially PLT indices in children with T1DMMaterials and Methods: in this case-control study which was conducted on 166 participants including 83 children with diabetes type 1 and 83 children hospitalized for thorough assessment of short stature, PLT count, MPV, PDW, WBC count, hemoglobin, blood sugar,PCT, P-LCR, ans PLR were assessed. Patients with type 1...

Background: Recent studies had been demonstrated that raised height could be related with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). In addition, increased osteo–sarcorma had been indicated in taller individuals and those with earlier pubertal growth spurts. however, some investigators obtained no significant relation between elevated height and childhood malignancy.Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to investigate whether there is any correlation between height and pe...

Background: Refractory epilepsy (RE) is a neurological disease, which affect relatively 20–30% of epileptic patients. Although, previous studies noted obesity as the leading factor for maladaptive processes for exacerbating chronic diseases such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. On the other hand, enough endocrine products such as leptin by adipose tissue is effective in epilepsy. We aim to assess the effect of BMI in reducing risk of refractor...
