Background
It is of utmost importance to identify populations with the elevated risk for Covid-19 and the factors influencing its outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the factors affecting mortality and length of stay (LOS) in the hospitals of East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, during a 15 months period of this pandemic. Study design: A retrospective study.
MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted by using data on ISSS (integrated syndromic surveillance system) on the patients admitted to the hospitals from February 21, 2020, to April 11, 2021. The association of variable of interest on death and LOS was investigated via multiple logistic regression and multiple linear regression.
ResultsIn total, 24,293 inpatients with the mean age of 53.99±19.37 years old were included in this study. About 15% of patients lost their lives. The mean age of the deceased patients was 69.02±14.64 years old and significantly higher than the recovered ones (p<0.001). Aging, male gender and having chronic diseases were correlated with the patient mortality. In addition, aging and having chronic diseases were associated with higher LOS in hospitals.
ConclusionsThe older patients were at a higher risk of mortality and even prolonged hospitalization. In addition, patients’ underlying diseases could cause a severe form of COVID-19 and these individuals were more likely to lose their lives and stay in hospitals for a longer time due to COVID-19.

Background
COVID-19 is currently the leading global health issue. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face challenges in supplying COVID-19 vaccines. To assess an adjunctive preventive measure for COVID-19 burden, we aimed to evaluate the relationship of influenza vaccination in the previous year with outcomes of COVID-19 in affirmed cases after adjustment for relevant factors.
MethodsThis prospective study was conducted using the provincial registry of confirmed COVID-19 cases in East-Azerbaijan province in North-West of Iran. The main outcomes were COVID-19 mortality and hospitalization. The influenza vaccination history in 2019 was collected by phone calls. Data analysis was done by SPSS software version 16, separately for healthcare workers and the general population. The logistic regression model was applied to compare the covariates in influenza vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients.
ResultsFrom 1 March to 10 October 2020, 17,213 positive COVID-19 cases were registered, of which 916 patients were included. A total of 88 patients (9.6%) deceased due to COVID-19. Two hundred subjects (21.8%) reported receiving the influenza vaccine during the past year. Healthcare workers had a significantly higher vaccination rate than the general population (28.9% vs. 7.1%; p<0.001). After adjustment for socioeconomic and health covariates, the vaccinated cases in the general population had 84% lower odds of death (OR: 0.16; 95%CI: 0.05-0.60; p=0.017). In multivariate analysis, the influenza vaccination history in the previous year was not significantly related to the lower COVID-19 hospitalization rate.
ConclusionThe flu vaccination rate was not optimal in our community. The flu vaccination can be an independent preventing factor for COVID-19 mortality in the general population. The influenza vaccine can be considered as an effective adjutant preventive countermeasure for the COVID-19 burden.

Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute ascending paralysis accompanied with autonomic symptoms like abdominal pain. Here we present a 13-year-old boy with lower extremities pain and sensory disturbances with presumptive diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome who experienced severe progression of disease after receiving general anesthesia due to an appendectomy. Whether the progression was due to the natural history of GBS, immunosuppression induced by surgical stress, or usage of anesthetic medications remained unclear.

زمینه و اهداف
لیشمانیوز احشایی یک بیماری مشترک بین انسان و دام بوده و درشمال غرب ایران بصورت آندمیک می باشد و سالانه 300-100 مورد مثبت گزارش می گردد. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی وضعیت پراکندگی مکانی لیشمانیوز احشایی در استان آذربایجان شرقی می باشد.
مواد و روش هااین یک مطالعه مقطعی گذشته نگر می باشد که از سال 89-96 بر روی بیماران لیشمانیوز احشایی انجام یافت که بر اساس آنالیز درون یابی تحلیل شده است و از نرم افزارهای SPSS 25 و ArcMap10.4.1 استفاده گردیده شد.
یافته هاتعداد کل 78 بیمار در طول مطالعه شناسایی گردید که 7/57 درصد ساکن مناطق روستایی و 3/42 درصد از مناطق شهری بودند. بیش از 90 درصد موارد بیماری در سنین زیر 5 سال اتفاق افتاده است. قسمت شمال شرق این استان که دارای میانگین بارش بیشتر و دمای معتدل تری می باشد به عنوان منطقه پر خطر بروز بیماری و یک نقطه داغ بیماری در بین شهرستان های کلیبر و اهر شناسایی شد.
نتیجه گیریلیشمانیوز احشایی در استان آذربایجان شرقی از سال 93 به میزان 3-4 برابر افزایش یافته است و ساکنین مناطق مرزی با استان اردبیل و کشور آذربایجان در معرض خطر انتقال این بیماری قرار دارند.

The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of visceral leishmaniasis in East Azerbaijan province.
Material and MethodsThis is a retrospective cross-sectional study that was done on visceral leishmaniasis patients from 2009-2016 which is analyzed based on interpolation and SPSS v.25 and ArcMap10.4.1 have been used.
ResultsTotally 78 patients were identified during the study, of which 57.7% were living in rural areas and 42.3% in urban areas. More than 90% of cases have occurred in children under the age of 5 years. The northeastern part of the province, which has a higher average rainfall and a moderate temperature, was identified as a high risk area of the disease and a hot spot of disease among the Kalibar and Ahar counties.
ConclusionVisceral leishmaniasis has increased by 3-4 times since 2013 in East Azarbaijan province and residents of border areas with Ardebil province and Azerbaijan Republic are at the risk of transmitting the disease

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the clinical and para clinical manifestations of neuro metabolic disorders, in patients who presented by neuro developmental delay in their neuro developmental milestones.Materials and MethodsThe patients diagnosed as neuro developmental delay and regression with or without seizure at the Neurology Department of Mofid Children Hospital in Tehran, Iran between 2004 and 2014 were included in our study. These patients diagnosed as neuro developmental delay by pediatric neurologists in view of diagnostic /screening neuro developmental assessment tests. The patients who completed our inclusion criteria as neuro metabolic disorders were evaluated in terms of metabolic and genetic study in referral lab.ResultsOverall, 213 patients with neurometabolic disorders were diagnosed. 54.3% of patients were male. The average age of patients was 41 +46.1 months. 71.4% of parents patients had consanguinity of marriages. Eighty seven percent of patients had developmental delay (or/and) regression. 55.5% of them had different type of seizures. Overall, 213 patients with 34 different neurometabolic disorders were diagnosed and classified in the 7 sub classes, consisting of:1- organic acidemia and aminoacidopathy (122 patients), 2-storage disease (37 patients) 3- eukodystrophy (27 patients), other classes consisted: lipid oxidation disorders, urea cycle disorders, progressive myoclonic epilepsy; and peroxizomal disorders (27 patients).
Conclusion; In patients with developmental delay or regression, with or without seizure, abnormal neurologic exam along with positive family history of similar disorder or relative parents, abnormal brain imaging with specific patterns, neurometabolic disorders should be considered as one of the important treatable diseases.Keywords: Clinical findings, Neurometabolic disorders, Children, Developmental delay, Seizure}
