Abstract
BACKGROUND Timely and precise diagnosis of ischemic cardiac events based on electrocardiogram is challengeable among patients with Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB). The present study aimed to assess the correlation between SYNTAX score and terminal T-wave morphologies among LBBB patients suspected of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) without modified Sgarbossa criteria. METHOD This cross-sectional study was conducted on the LBBB patients suspected of ACS without modified Sgarbossa criteria. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the correlation of ischemic heart disease (IHD, SYNTAX score > 0) and SYNTAX score categories with terminal T-wave morphologies including T-wave direction in lead V6 and terminal T-wave concordance in leads I, V5, and V6. RESULT This study was done on 93 patients with the mean age of 62.4 ± 9.6 years. More than half of the patients were female (58.1%, 95% CI: 47.4% to 68.2%). Among the participants with IHD, the SYNTAX score categories were correlated to discordant terminal T-wave in leads I, V5, and V6 (OR = 5.71, 95% CI: 1.04 to 31.28, p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Among the LBBB patients with acute ischemic cardiac events without modified Sgarbossa criteria, those with discordant terminal T-waves in leads I, V5, or V6 had higher SYNTAX scores and might require more invasive coronary revascularization techniques such as Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the prevalence of hypertension (HTN), and determine the relationship between HTN and anthropometric indices including fat distribution, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in Shiraz Heart Study. SETTING In this cross-sectional study, subjects were enrolled in 25 clinics in Shiraz. I.R. Iran between 2019 and 2021. PARTICIPANTS A total number of 7225 individuals were selected, aged between 40 and 70 years of whom 52.3% were female. Among the people living in Shiraz, individuals living far from clinics, cases of mental or physical disabilitiy and documented cardiovascular diseases were excluded. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome: The association of body composition, WHR, WHtR and BMI with HTN. SECONDARY OUTCOME The sensitivity and specificity of the WHtR for the prediction of HTN. RESULTS HTN prevalence was 19.3%. Obesity prevalence was estimated to be 28.5%. WHR and lean body mass showed a significant association with HTN (p<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic for WHtR yielded an area under the curve of 0.62 (95% CI 0.61 to 0.64) and 0.63 (95% CI 0.62 to 0.65) for males and females, respectively. The optimal threshold value yielded 0.54 in men and 0.61 in women. The sensitivity was 72.3% and 73.9% in women and men, with specificity of 48.4% and 44.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION HTN had a meaningful association with all the noted anthropometric indices. WHtR performed well as a predictor of HTN.

Abstract
Background Ventricular repolarization measurement by QTc interval and QT dispersion can recognize high-risk patients. Previous research tended to evaluate the act of repolarization indicators alone but this study aimed to elucidate their prognostic utility before and after modifying confounding parameters in risk stratification of different aspects of prognosis in decompensated heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction. Methods Data of 98 variables were evaluated to determine their predictive value concerning arrhythmic events, in-hospital, and long-term mortality. Results From 858 cases that presented with acute heart failure, 19.2% (n=165) were enrolled in the study. During hospitalization, arrhythmic events and cardiac-related mortality occurred in 56(33.9%) and 11(7%) patients, respectively. QTc and QT dispersion were independent predictors of arrhythmia and in-hospital mortality after adjustment of the variables (arrhythmic events: QTc interval OR 1.085, P=0.007, QT dispersion OR 1.077, P=0.007, in-hospital mortality: QTc interval OR 1.116, P=0.009, QT dispersion OR 1.067, P=0.011). After being discharged, they were tracked for 181±56 days. Within the 16 deaths in follow-up time, 6 sudden cardiac deaths were documented. Cox regression, defined QTc as the predictor of all-cause and sudden death mortality (all-cause: HR 1.041, 95% CI 1.015-1.067, P=0.002; sudden death: HR 1.063, 95% CI 1.023-1.105, P=0.002); nevertheless, efforts to demonstrate QT dispersion as the predictor failed. Conclusion The predictive nature of QT parameters was significant after modification of the variables; therefore, they should be measured for risk stratification of ventricular repolarization arrhythmia and death in decompensated heart failure patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orchidopexy is one of the most common pediatric surgeries. In general, the operation for truly undescended testis (UDT) includes opening of the external oblique fascia. The most common location of the testis in UDT is adjacent to the external inguinal canal (superficial inguinal type). Using a new method we performed orchidopexy without opening the fascia. In this clinical trial we compared the outcome after a classic procedure with that obtained using our method. METHODS AND PATIENTS This clinical controlled trial was undertaken in the Al Zahra hospital between 2008 and 2010. Patients were randomized into either into the closed technique group (group A, n=52) or the open group (group B, n=52). The incidence of short-term and long-term complications was recorded with a specific questionnaire at the time of surgery and at follow-up visits. Data were analyzed with the SPSS 15.0 software using chi-square and t-tests. RESULTS 104 patients were included in this study. The incidence of short-term complications (surgical site hematoma, surgical wound infection, scrotal hematoma) and long-term complications (testicular atrophy) did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Procedure duration in group A was significantly shorter than in group B (p=0.001). Medial thigh sensory loss was more common in group B (p=0.05). CONCLUSION When investigating the surgical management of undescended testes, our study found differences in medial thigh sensory loss rate and procedure duration between the open and closed techniques. Operative treatment of UDT without opening the external oblique fascia is highly recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a playroom next to the operating room to reduce preoperative anxiety in children. METHODS AND MATERIALS In 2009, we designed a playroom in a preoperative waiting room in our hospital. The playroom had colored toys and cars appropriate for different ages and a TV and video to show cartoons. Patients were randomly assigned into a case or a control group. Control group patients were admitted to the preoperative waiting room 30 min prior to operation. Case group patients were admitted to the playroom for the same period of time. The anxiety levels of the children were compared using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS). RESULTS In this study 200 children were evaluated (100 patients in the case group, 100 patients in the control group). There were 20 female and 80 male patients in the case group with a mean age of 4.33 ± 1.5 years and 26 female and 74 male patients in the control group with a mean age of 3.87 ± 1.2 years (p=NS). Inguinal herniorraphy was the most common procedure in both groups. Preoperative anxiety was significantly decreased for all categories of the anxiety score as assessed by m-YPAS questionnaire. CONCLUSION A preoperative playroom is a very effective method to reduce preoperative anxiety in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With such a wide variety of treatment options available for rectal prolapse and a variable success rate, the optimal treatment for this condition in children is still debated. In this study, we evaluated a technique of perineal mesh rectopexy with a sterile talc-soaked mesh and compared the success rates and complications of this method with those of abdominal rectopexy. METHODS AND MATERIALS To examine the effect of therapeutic interventions, a randomized control trial (children were randomized into the case group or the control group) was carried out. In the control group, children were operated on by abdominal posterior mesh rectopexy. In the case group, a 30-cm sterile asbestos-free talc-soaked mesh was placed in the presacral space in a spiral fashion with the end exiting from the perineal incision. From 5 (th) day after surgery onward, the mesh was gradually extracted (10 cm per day) and completely removed by the 7 (th) postoperative day. On postoperative assessment, the duration of hospitalization, the postoperative complications and the success rates after surgery were compared. Patients were followed up for one year. RESULTS In this study we evaluated 120 children. Mean age of the patients was 5.1±0.081 years in the case group and 4.91±0.59 years in the control group (p=NS). 34 patients in the case group were male vs. 41 patients in the control group. Results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications between groups. The infection rate was 1.6% in the case group and 6.6% in the control group (p=NS).There was a higher resolution of constipation in the perineal rectopexy group (68.4% in the control group and 96.8% in the case group; p=0.002). The duration of hospitalization was 6.34±0.28 days in the case group and 6.68±0.31 days in the control group (p=NS). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that perineal mesh rectopexy with sterile talc can be an alternative approach to abdominal surgery and offers an acceptable outcome with a low rate of complications.
