Abstract
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects multiple organ systems. It is the most common cause of severe progressive lung disease and exocrine panceratic insufficiency. In our investigation 67 patients had CF. Of these, 79% had panceratic insufficiency and 92% had lung disease under 2 years age. Also 67% of patients were < 2 percentile and 28% between 3-10 percentile weight for age. Unfortunately 27% of them died because of respiratory problems

Abstract
Background, Materials and Methods: In order to evaluation the newborn’s nutrintional status in Bojnoard, 566 healty, Single full term newborn were examined. In this examination, the indicators of weight for age, height for age, weight for height and head circumference for age in the beginning of birth were calculated and compared to National Center of Health Statistics Standards (NCHS), with making use of fifth percentile of reference society for malnutrition edge, was specified that, nutritional status in above newborn’s is better than reference society’s newborns. Results&Conclusion: The data analysis of this research showed that between mother’s near delivery weight (P = 0.037) and mother’s nutritional attitude (P= 0.004) and numbers of family( P = 0.006 ) with height for age, between newborn’s sex (P= 0.004), mother’s age(P= 0.038), mother’s near delivery weight(P = 0.042) and mother’s nutritional practice during pregnancy (P= 0.041) with weight for height and between mother’s age (P= 0.043), mother’s near delivery weight (P= 0.048), mother’s height (P= 0.025), mother’s nutritional knowledge (P = 0.046) with head circumference for age, there is significant statistic connection. Also there was a weak statistic connection between newborn’s nutritional status and grade of birth (P= 0.09), but there is no significant meaningful connection between wanted or unwanted newborn and mother’s nutritional knowledge.

Abstract
Background: The effects of population aging are becoming apparent throughout the world. Diseases, such as cardio-vascular disease (CVD) and diabetes, are among the most important factors affecting morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly. These diseases not only result in huge economic costs for treatment and care, but also results in hardship and time lost for relatives of the afflicted individuals. The association between nutritional status and disease is well known. In the present study, the effects of both under-nutrition and over-nutrition on the prevalence of disease are monitored in an urban Iranian elderly population. Thus far, no similar study has been performed in the Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Isfahan, Iran, during late 2003 on 1694 elderly people (731 males, 963 females), aged 60 years and older. Subjects were randomly chosen from all urban elderly people during a door-to-door and weight and height survey. They were selected using a cluster sampling method, each containing 30 clusters. From each cluster, 58 elderly were selected at random. Using each subjects body mass index (BMI), the nutritional status was categorized as overweight (BMI greater than 25), underweight (BMI less than 19) and normal (having a BMI equal to or more than 19 and equal to or less than 25). Any illnesses known to each subject were also recorded.
Results: Results showed that 4.7% of the subjects were underweight and 61.2% overweight. Women were more likely to be overweight and long periods of watching television increased the risk of overweight in all subjects. Being overweight was associated with diabetes and coronary vascular diseases, and lean people were less likely to suffer from such diseases.
Conclusion: This study indicates a high prevalence of overweight among the Iranian elderly population, indicating the need for improvement in nutritional status in order to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and CVD.

Background: Calcium metabolism disorders can be acute or chronic and chronic disorders can
cause different disease states such as dental problems.
Methods: In
this descriptive cross-sectional study done in Children's Medical Center affiliated
to Tehran University of Medical Sciences during 2005-2009,
all (93)
patients with hypoparathyroidism, nutritional rickets, hypophosphatemic rickets
and renal osteodysthrophy from the endocrinology and nephrology departments of
the Center were referred to a dentist there for orodental examination.
Subsequently, the frequency of dental problems including taurodontism, enamel
hypoplasia, dental abscess, dental caries and gingivitis were recorded and
analyzed.
Results: Nutritional rickets was the most common disorder in this study and delay in
dentition was the most frequent dental problem in the patients (61.9%).
Most cases of taurdontism and enamel hypoplasia were seen in patients with
hypoparathyroidism (33% and 50%,
respectively). Dental abscess, dental caries and gingivitis were more common in
patients with renal osteodysthrophia (50%, 90% and
20%, respectively). In addition, dental caries and
delay in dentition were the most prevalent disorders in this study (69.8%
and 49.5%, respectively).
Conclusion: According
to the above findings, it seems that effective screening, regular periodic
examinations, proper diagnosis and timely treatment of dental diseases are the main
principles of prevention of orodental problems. Moreover, dentists as well as pediatricians
should be aware of the features of the aforesaid disorders which lead to dental
problems so that early intervention could prevent subsequent serious and more
invasive dental problems.

Abstract
Background: The effects of consumption of nutrients on coronary artery disease (CAD) are widely observed. The aim of this study is to assess the exclusive Iranian dietary pattern on coronary artery diseases (CAD) and its risk factors. Methods: In this description-cross sectional study, 801 inhabitants of Borujerd City were included by random stratification method and a questionnaire regarding micro- and macronutrients for subjects over 35 years old from March 2011 to February 2012 was filed out. Of all the subjects consent to participate were prepared by volunteers. The complete description and a standard questionnaire to record demographic and socioeconomic status of people were taken. The prevalence of coronary artery disease and its risk factors determined Based on rose questionnaire and Monica questionnaire respectively. Results: In this study mean age of the subjects were 54.8±1.2 years, 388 male and 413 female. There was no meaningful relation between red meat consumption and coronary artery disease (P= 0.117). Nut consumption was higher in patients with CAD (P= 0.028). Use of fresh and cooked vegetables, dried fruit, animal oils cakes, french fries and some dairies are correlated with CAD (P< 0.05). However, artificially flavored soda in contrast to ordinary soda was not associated with coronary artery disease. Conclusion: Although there are some differences between dietary pattern in patient with coronary artery disease, nutritional attitudes are not significantly different in normal and CAD patients. However, according to the importance of diet in CAD, balancing these attitudes should be on the educational system high priority.
