Abstract: Background : Febrile seizure is the most common convulsive event in children younger than 60 months, it is often recurring within the first twenty - four hours. A febrile seizure is terrifying event for parent. Different factors enhance the occurrence of seizure and one of these factors is hyponatremia which thought to be low in children with recurrent febrile convulsion. Objective : To estimate the relation and the effect of serum sodium in recurrence of febrile convulsion. Patients and method : An observational case control study conducted on (180) child between the age of 6 months and 7 years ,all patients divided in to 3 groups ;group (A) which include (60) children presented with fever without convulsion which considered control group , group B which include (60) child presented with single febrile convulsion and last group was group C which include (60) child presented with recurrent febrile convulsion .Serum sodium was estimated for all children immediately after admission to emergency . Our study carried out in Mohammed Al Mousawi pediatrics hospital in AL - Nasiriya city during the period between May to September of 2018. Result : In our current study 180 children were included with age range between (6 months to 7 years) old. Serum sodium was estimated and we compare the result between the 3 groups of study. The study involved 89 males and 91 females. The mean serum sodium in group A, B, C, were 139.45,137.09,131.95 respectively with (p value <0.001) which found to be significant value. We estimate that decrease serum sodium levels in relation with increase recurrence of febrile convulsion, also we found that hyponatremia children are 4 times more likely to develop recurrent convulsion than children with normal or elevated serum sodium. Regarding the serum calcium, random blood sugar and Tamp., there is no significant association, but family history was significantly associated with occurrence of febrile seizure. Conclusion : The current study shows significant correlation between decrease serum sodium and recurrence of febrile convulsion us serum level found to be lower in children with recurrent febrile convulsion

Abstract: Background : Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lack of insulin production, it is the most common type of diabetes in childhood. T1DM was listed among the causes of growth retardation in children. Glycemic control is an important factor in growth of children with T1DM.Objectives : To assess growth parameters (height, weight and body mass index [BMI] )in children with T1DM, and to study the impact of age at diagnosis, duration of disease, and glycemic control on growth indices.Patients and methods : A cross sectional study was conducted at diabetic clinic in Children Welfare Teaching hospital - Medical City - Baghdad, for the period from the 1st of February to the end of May 2017. A total of 100 children with T1DM between (2 - 14) years of both gender was included in the study, the information were obtained directly during interview including : relevant demographic data, disease information (age at diagnosis, duration of disease and type of presentation). Also each patient had two measurements for weight in kilogram and height in centimeter first one was measured by researcher at the time of interview and the second one obtained from their case file around the time of diagnosis.Results : A total of 100 children with T1DM included in this study showed that male to female ratio were equal. Peak age of children at diagnosis was less than 5 years. Most of patients presented with classical signs and symptom (64%). Of the total diabetic children in this study, (5%), (2%), and (5%) were stunted, wasted and underweight, respectively. Duration of T1DM was a significant determinant of growth indices (height and weight). Conclusions and Recommendations : Retarded growth indices (height and weight) were the highest growth problems among diabetic children. Duration of diabetes was an important determinant of growth parameters. We recommend for paying attention to anthropometric measurements in management of T1DM and participation of PHCC in the management plan.
