Topiramate is effective in the prevention of pediatric migraine, and studies show that vitamin D
supplementation might also be useful in the treatment of adult migraineurs with a normal vitamin D
level. The present study aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of topiramate plus vitamin D
and topiramate alone in the prophylaxis of pediatric migraine.

In a single-blinded, randomized, clinical trial, 5-15-year-old children with migraine headaches,referred to the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of Shahid Sadoughi Medical Sciences University, Yazd, Iran from January 2016 to January 2017, were randomly allocated to receive 2 mg/kg/day of topiramate or 2 mg/kg/day of topiramate plus one 500,000 IU vitamin D
pearl weekly for two consecutive months.Primary outcomes were the reduction of monthly frequency, severity, duration, and the disability score of migraine, and the secondary outcomes included a good response to treatment (more than 50% reduction in monthly headache frequency) and a lack of clinical adv and vitamin D3 might be considered safe and more effective than topiramate alone in the prophylaxis of pediatric migraine.
In the process of child development, a variety of factors are at play. In this regard, social determinants of health play a determining role in the development and growth of the child. This study aimed to design and test the model for social determinants of health for the development of 36-6o-month-old children in Tehran with the mediation of maternal involvement.

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1067 mothers and their 36-60-month-old children in childcare centers in Tehran, using multistage sampling. Data gathering tools consisted of a demographic questionnaire for mothers and children, a questionnaire on unhealthy behaviors, Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Economic and Social Status Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Questionnaire, Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, **** Depression Inventory, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale, and Participation Scale for Parents and Mothers.

Model fit measures were suitable and goodness of fit (RMSEA = 0.031, GFI = 1) was satisfactory. In addition, the results of path analysis indicated that the participation of mothers in the development of children had a direct positive (ß = 0.089) and increasing effect.

Findings indicated that depression, anxiety, stress, and marital satisfaction have both direct and indirect effects on the participation of mothers and child development. Moreover, the model fit measures indicated the utility and high proportionality of the model, as well as the logic of the adjusted relationships of variables based on the conceptual model.

The aim of the present study was to screen the toddlers who are suspected to be autistic in their well-child visits at age 18 to 24 months via the Quantitative-Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT).

After the screening, the screen-positive cases were clinically assessed by a child psychiatrist and a child developmental psychologist. The total sample included 2467 toddlers; the mean total score of Q-CHAT was 30.64 (SD 9.133).

According to the clinical examinations, 6 cases met the criteria for autism (equal to 5.8% of screen-positive cases and 0.25% of the total sample), and 18 cases had a high probability of autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study showed that the toddlers who were at risk of autism could be screened in PHC. Also, Q-CHAT could be used as a screening tool in Iran.

A breath-holdingspell (BHS) is defined as an apnea attack following an initial stressful event like anger, sadness, and fear, a painful event like falling or head trauma or any stressful psychology event. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/amg510.html This study was designed to assessthe comparative efficacy of levetiracetam plus iron and iron alone in reducingthe BHS frequency in children aged 6 months to 5 years.

This study was designed asa double-blinded randomized clinical trial. Sixty patients aged 6 months to 5 years were assigned into two groups, withthe first group (A) receiving onlyiron and the second group (B)receiving levetiracetam plus iron. At the end of the study, the efficacy of therapywas analyzed comparatively in these groups.

In this study, the mean number of attacks was 3.94 ± 2.69 before treatment and 1.71 ± 1.99after treatmentin the group A,while it was 6.39 ± 5.7 before treatment and 0.37 ± 1.03after treatment in the group B.The mean number of attacksafter treatment was lower in group B than in group A. In fact, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the number of attacks after treatment (P = 0.003).

Levetiracetam plus iron is more effective than iron alone in reducing BHSs in children aged 6 months to 5 years.

The current study aimed to examine the effect of the combined administration of active vestibular interventions and occupational therapy on balance and the relationship between balance changes and Activity of Daily Living in school-aged children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Twenty-four children with Spastic CP, at the level I and II (according to the "Gross Motor Function Classification System) aged 7-12 years were enrolled and randomly assigned into control and intervention groups. Pediatric Balance Scales and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency II were employed to assess the functional balance changes as well as Force Plate (eyes closed and open) to assess changes in the parameters of balance (e.g. center of pressure excursion). The activity of Daily Living was assessed by "Activity Scales for Kids (performance version)". Participants in the intervention group received active vestibular intervention for 20 min and a regular occupational therapy program for 25 min. The control group received a regular occupational therapy program for 45 min.
