The present observational study is a cross-sectional correlational work. The participants in this study were 288 children with a definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 admitted to Dr. Mohammad Kermanshahi Referral Hospital. Sampling was done in a non-random way available and clinical and demographic information was collected by examining their clinical files, taking into account the entry criteria (1-6-year-old children with suspected coronavirus hospitalized with a positive RT-PCR test). It was analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 25 and chi-square and Fisher statistical tests.

In total, 63% of the cases were male and 37% were female; 23.8% were in the ICU and 7.5% were connected to a ventilator. In addition, 21.7% had an underlying disease. The mortality rate was 5.3%. The highest clinical demonstrations were fever (74.4%), coughing (33.8%), and diarrhea (21.4%). The laboratory results showed abnormal leukopenia (42.3%), CRP (29.5%), LFT (22.1%), DDIMR (11%), ferritin (10.3%), and ESR (40.6%). In addition, 5.4% of them died so the recovery rate was 94.6%. There was no significant relationship between drug sensitivity and antiviral drug use and mortality due to COVID-19 in children (P >0.05). There was no significant relationship between using antibiotics, ceftriaxone, and azithromycin and mortality due to COVID-19 in children (P >0.05).

Based on the results of this study, a high proportion of children were associated with fever and respiratory symptoms and abnormal para-clinical CT, WBC, and ESR findings. The highest percentage of illness and death due to complications of corona was in the age group of 1-3 years old boys. It seems to reduce their mortality it’s essential to equip and strengthen children's special care departments in the hospital, as well as continuous care and follow-up after discharge and treatment for all sick children with covid-19 in the health department until full recovery is recommended.

This media content analysis explored the Canadian newspapers reporting on men's health, and their contribution to public understanding of the social determinants of men’s health and lifestyles.
A media content analysis of 44 news articles on boys’, youth’s and men’s health,published from 2010 to 2014 by three national newspapers (The Globe and Mail, National Post,and Metro News).
Data indicated that the predominant discourse consists of informative and awareness messages, mostly about men’s prostate and sexual health. Very little health news content referred to working conditions, education and income, all of which are significant social determinants of health (SDH). This may reflect the current state of health research, which does not adequately incorporate the effects of these determinants. It may also indicate a reproduction of dominant health knowledge and understanding of masculinity. Little content was found on policy solutions to other publicized health issues, such as limited access to health services or inter-sectoral collaborations; this reflects a lack of government action and a lack of citizen engagement toward the creation of a concerted men’s health policy.
Despite the acknowledged importance of the media in promoting access to health information and indirectly contributing to improve the general public’s level of health literacy, it is also necessary to remember that there must be a greater attention to the structural constraints imposed by socioeconomic inequalities. Future studies should explore media discourses about men’s unequal access to health care services and citizens’ awareness of ways to overcome those inequalities shortcomings.

Maternal mortality is one of the most important indicators that is indicative of the status of development of countries. This study was aimed to investigate the rate and causes of maternal mortality in Kermanshah province. In this cross-sectional study, the maternal mortality records including demographic information, indicators of pregnancy and delivery, and mortality causes from 2001 to 2012 were extracted via census from the family health unit of the health deputy. To determine mortality rates, maternal deaths in every year were divided by the number of live births. Data were analyzed by Stata software. The maternal mortality rate in Kermanshah was 25.9 deaths per one hundred thousand live births. The highest rate was reported in 2003 (53.4) and the lowest rate in 2012 (14.6) per one hundred thousand live births. Most deceased mothers were urban residents (66.7%) with the age range of 18-35 years (64.6%), and high-risk pregnancies (65.3%). The most common cause of maternal death was bleeding (23.2%). There was a significant relationship between cause of death and urban-rural status, so that the most common causes in urban areas were complications of obstetric interventions whereas the most common cause in rural areas was bleeding (P= 0.008). Based on the results, the mortality rate of pregnant mothers is declining in Kermanshsh. However, given the most common cause of death (bleeding) and high percentage of high-risk pregnancies, immediate and effective measures by healthcare personnel to prevent postpartum maternal mortality and adequate and appropriate care during pregnancy and after delivery are required to considered.
