In order to determine the prevalence rate of abdominal masses in children referred to the Kerman university hospital number one from 1984 to 1994, the medical records  of 51 of these children were reviewed.  27 of these patients were boys (53℅), and 24 were girls (47℅). The age variance of these patients were between 3 months and 14 years. In this study,  the most common tumor was Wilm,s tumor ...

OBJECTIVE Alterations in thyroid function are reported in obesity, although no relevant data exist on the thyroid structure of these patients and the frequency of autoimmunity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the involvement of the thyroid gland in a large group of obese children. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. METHODS The study was conducted between March 2004 and December 2...

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare in children. Conventional management of pseudoaneurysms in adults has included surgical repair, ultrasound-guided compression, and more recently, endovascular embolization. However, in infants and children, there is little information regarding the applicability of such treatment modalities, which have been effective in adults, because of its rarity...

Concerns about radiation exposure have led to a decrease in the use of computed tomography in suspected appendicitis, with increased reliance on ultrasound. Children with suspected appendicitis should be risk stratified using a combination of clinical signs and symptoms, white blood cell count, and ultrasound in order to guide further evaluation and management. Magnetic resonance imaging is a p...

We compared the results of primary ultrasonographic examination of 163 children with 224 suspected fractures with the subsequent radiological findings. The aim was to assess the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of fractures in children. We found a good correlation for fractures of the long bones of the upper and lower limbs. Ultrasound was most reliable for the detection of simple femoral a...

OBJECTIVE A pilot study to investigate whether ultrasonography can be reliably used to demonstrate uncomplicated greenstick and torus fractures in children. METHOD Children between the ages of 2 and 14 years with a high clinical suspicion of a non-articular, undisplaced forearm fracture were included. Ultrasound imaging of the injury was performed by a consultant radiologist who gave an immed...

Visual biofeedback tools, such as Electropalatography (EPG), are recommended for assessing and treating speech sound disorders (SSDs) associated with Cleft Palate (CP). However, EPG is not suitable for all clients, due to dependencies on stable dentition and timing of palatal repair. Ultrasound is becoming increasingly popular for its use in treating SSDs, with no reports on its dependency on s...

BACKGROUND Medial pinning is one of the most controversial aspects of the surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures (SHF) owing to the risk of ulnar nerve injury. AIM To evaluate the safety and usefulness of medial pinning for SHF using ultrasound imaging for ulnar nerve visualization. METHODS Fifteen children, with a mean age of 60 months, with displaced SHF were treated with a crossed...

A total of 106 children with symptomatic urinary tract infection (73 girls and 33 boys, 0-15.9 years of age) were studied by means of a dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, renal ultrasound, and a desmopressin test during infection and at follow up approximately two months later. At follow up they were also investigated by means of intravenous urography (IVU) and micturition cystourethrography ...
