Background and Aims: one of the hormones that appears to play an important role in regulating body growth is ghrelin. This study aimed to determine the association between Maternal serum ghrelin level and neonatal anthropometric indicators at birth.Materials & Methods: In this cohort study, 35 eligible pregnant women in their first trimester that were allocated by Using Convenience sampling were divided and matched in terms of BMI before pregnancy into normal and higher than normal BMI groups A ( n=14) and B ( n=21). Serum ghrelin level was measured during 6-12 and 15-20 weeks of gestation using ELISA method.Results: Mean non-fasting serum gherlin level (first and second trimesters) had not significant deference between two groups (p1=0.93, p2=0.76, in first and second trimester, respectively). Also there is a ascending increase in mean serum ghrelin level with increasing gestational age from the first to the second trimesters in both groups but was not significant (pa=0.15, pb=0.24, in A and B group, respectively). No significant correlations were detected between non-fasting serum gherlin level (first and second trimesters) and neonatal anthropometric indicators.Conclusion: The lack of any direct relationship between Maternal serum ghrelin level and neonatal anthropometric indicators does not support the hypothesis that ghrelin has major role in foetal growth

Background: Pneumothorax and its related mortality isvery commonin infancy and it is intensified among infants who received the mechanical ventilation treatment. Determining the effective factors in the incidence of this disease is very importantin reducing its related mortality. Our study has done with the goal of evaluating Pneumothorax prevalence and the related mortality among infants receiving mechanical ventilation in NICU and determining the effective factors on it.
Method and Materials: This descriptive analytical study was conducted at all infants hospitalized in Mahdieh University children’s Hospital. All infants with post mechanical ventilation Pneumothorax were included in this study and infants’ information about birth weight, gender of the infant, method of delivery, the site of Pneumothorax incidence, treatment with surfactant, rate of PCo2,rate of PIP, the time of Pneumothorax initialization after the mechanical ventilation and the death time after Pneumothorax prevalence were collected.

Objective: Entonox which is a common agent for relieving labor pain, is often used intermittently. While, this seems that continuous method has more painless effects and is easier to use. As some challenging debates exist about fetal complications of continuous method, we decided to compare the neonatal effects of Entonoxin in two methods.
Methods: This quasi experimental study was carried out on 100 women admitted for vaginal delivery in Mobini Hospital, Sabzevar, Iran,2013. Participants were divited into two equal groups. Then, labor progression and fetal conditions were registered and compared in these two groups. Statistical Analysis was performed by spss17 software, t-test and chi square test.p

Birth weight is one of the most important factors in determining the neonatal status. Low birth weight is associated with infant’s morbidity, where mortality rate is 40 times greater than those born with normal birth weight. In this study, 86 neonates with birth weight less than 2500 gr. were sampled in 6 months. They were all term and were not low weight by nature. Maternal age, neonates sex, parity, family members, mother’s education and job, social status, blood pressure, history of low birth weight delivery, area of residence, gestational intake of iron and calcium, history of malignant gestational nausea and vomiting and vaginal infections were the variables to be studied. Interview checklists, weight scale and sphygmomanometer were used for data collection. Findings revealed a significant relationship between intrauterine growth restriction and factors such as parity, mother’s age, blood pressure and gestational nausea and vomiting. In other words, the older the mothers, the higher the birth weigh of their infants. Mothers with bp higher than 140/90 mmHg gave birth to lower - weight infants. Also, low birth weight infants were observed with mothers having experienced malignant gestational nausea and vomiting.
