Abstract
Background and Aim: Knowledge about the external causes of accidents is vital for their prevention, and insufficient data on external causes can reduce their usefulness. That is why, the adequacy of the sources of data is of great importance. The aim of this research is to study the adequacy of data regarding the injuries' external causes for coding based on ICD-10 in inpatient medical records and emergency wards of Kashan Shahid Beheshti Hospital.
Materials and Methods: This prospective descriptive cross-sectional research was done on 1000 patients in Kashan Shahid Beheshti Hospital in 1386 (2007). The data needed for coding were chosen from medical records based on ICD-10 rules and for the following groups: transportation accidents, poisoning, burns, lightning, assaults, respiratory threats, intentional self harm, contact with venomous animals, and exposure to animate and inanimate mechanical forces. Then, the data were put in a checklist and analyzed with SPSS and descriptive statistics.
Results: The data required for the three main characters of the external causes of injuries were adequate in 740 files (47%) the figure for the fourth character of the external causes of transportation accidents was found to be 430 (88.7%). Figures for the place of occurrence and the type of subjects' activities at the time of accidents were found to be sufficient in 109 cases (21.16%) and 50 cases (5%), respectively.
Conclusion: Data on the eternal causes of injuries do not have the required adequacy. More evaluations are essential to enhance the adequacy of such data

Abstract
Background and Aim: High blood pressure in children, especially in developing countries is growing. Birth weight, age and anthropometric parameters such as current height and weight as factors in childhood hypertension and adolescents have been considered. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension in children school and it's correlation with birth weight and current height and weight.
Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, between 2006-2008 among 1195924 students in Tehran's schools, 2040 individuals were selected by multistage random sampling method. Inclusion criteria were age 6 to 19 years, physical health and having health card. The twins, students with hypertensive and smoker mothers were excluded. Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS software version 16. The multiple regression analysis equation was used to determine the predictors of blood pressure levels.
Results: 69 students(3.4%), including 4.84% of girls and 3.5% of boys had high blood pressure(p=0.14). Significant direct correlation between age, current weight, current height, and body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was found. However, birth weight has a weak reverse linear correlation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure(respectively=-0.152 and r=-0.111, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Attention to Current size, especially Current weight with consideration to birth weight can be helpful to predict blood pressure in adulthood. This is important in monitoring the weight and blood pressure in children, especially child with an abnormal birth weight and overweight children.

Abstract
Background
and Aim: Isoflurane is one of
the selective and mostly-used respiratory anesthetic materials in the field of
neurosurgery. Studies have shown that temporary rise in the level of liver
enzymes may occur after anesthesia by halogenic ethers and hence cause liver
lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of isoflurane on
the activity of ALT-AST-ALP-GGT enzymes as an indicator of liver function.
Materials
and Methods: This study was
performed on a sample of 40 patients who were under neurosurgery without any
liver disease in Milad Hospital of Tehran. The patients' blood samples were
collected before, 24, and 72 hours after anesthesia. The enzymes activities was
assessed by spectrophotometric method.
Results:
Insignificant
changes before and after anesthesia were seen in the activity of ALP, and AST
enzymes. The level of ALT enzyme has a significant rise, 72 (P=0/022) and 24
(P=0/014) hours after anesthesia in comparison with before anesthesia. The
level of GGT enzyme in comparison to its past has significant rise 72 hours
after anesthesia (P=0/002). The level of this enzyme showed a significant
difference 24, and 72 hours after anesthesia (P=0/041).
Conclusion: The significant changes
seen in the levels of ALT, GGT enzymes in three different periods of time might
be as a result of possible liver parenchymal and cholestatic damage caused by
using Isoflurane or other drugs such as Midazolam which effects liver function.
It seems the assessment of the levels of these enzymes can provide useful
information for probable subsequent actions.

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the main steps of optimization process in diagnostic imaging is quality control of X-ray devices. If the control quality process and the quality of X-ray equipment are not ensured through a systematic procedure, it can increase the risk of unnecessary exposures among the population. Therefore, this study can reduce the risk of unnecessary exposures in the entire population.
Materials and Methods: In this study, six quality control tests including voltage measurement accuracy test, time accuracy test, output repeatability test, output to time linearity test, output to milliamp linearity test, and radiation quality measurement test were evaluated in all centers of Ilam in accordance with what the international Atomic Energy Agency and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has presented.
Results: The result showed that diagnostic X-ray devices available in Ilam had a relatively good quality in all quality control tests that were done except the associated with the radiance quality of (HVL). However, almost all these devices need to add additional filters to the X-ray tubes to resolve error in their HVL.
Conclusion: Adding additional filters to radiology devices in Ilam Province and modifying the thickness of filters seem to be necessary and desirable which will prevent the unnecessary increase in patients' dose. The accurate and regular implementation of quality control tests in imaging wards should change into a culture. On the other hand, the relevant organizations which have the great responsibility to protect people against radiation are recommended to monitor and supervise radiology centers more accurately and responsibly to repair diagnostic radiation devices.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Neurological disorders occur under the conditions when there is perturbation in one part of the brain or the nervous system. The increasing outbreak of neurological disorders and its high expenses imposed on society have made the necessity to modify the policies of health care. This study calculated the cost of services for pediatric neurology patients to reduce costs.
Materials and Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional descriptive-analytic case study implemented a Fuzzy Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing(FTDABC) model in treating pediatric neurology patients in 2016. The Wilcoxon nonparametric test was used to test the hypothesis of the research and investigate the significant difference in the cost of services provided to patients in the FTDABC and the traditional costing model.
Results: The results confirmed a meaningful patient services costs in both methods; the cost of patient care using FTDABC model was estimated to be 5,736,843,432 Rials, 41.61% of which goes to overhead and 5.94% goes to idle capacity. Visiting and counseling activities, controlling vital signs, and patient displacement were identified as the most time-consuming activities in the treatment process, respectively.
Conclusion: According to the research findings, it seems necessary to reform human resource management and reduce idle capacity to increase the effectiveness of hospital resources and improve the therapeutic processes. If management can reduce patient displacement activity by 20%, it will result in 2.89% reduction of time and 1.86% of the cost of the treatment process.
