Background and Objective: The family traditionally has played a unique role in the development and care for adolescents. For this reason, scientists have consistently sought to formulate and introduce new family-based therapeutic approaches to further enhance the functions of this important social institution. In this manuscript, for the first time in Iran, one of the new treatments in this field is discussed. Materials and Methods: In this study, a review of the theoretical and research background in the field of family mode deactivation therapy is presented and introduced. Results: Family Mode Deactivation Therapy has emerged as a third wave treatment for adolescents with behavioral problems. In this treatment, a unique integration of family based mode deactivation, evaluation, enlightenment, and reorientation of fundamental beliefs techniques is used to eliminate problematic behaviors during and after treatment. This treatment is especially applicable in the context of Iranian families. Conclusion: Family mode deactivation therapy, as a modern therapy, is able to reduce the behavioral problems in adolescents. Therefore, we recommend the use of this treatment to psychotherapists.

Background and Objective: The effects that smartphones have had on the control of chronic diseases such as diabetes in recent years have taken selfcare to a new level. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between demographic characteristics and dimensions of virtual self-care of diabetic children in Hamadan. Materials and Methods: In the present quasi-experimental study, 92 children aged 10-18 years with type 1 diabetes, and one of the parents referred to the Diabetes Clinic in Hamadan were studied. The telephone numbers of all samples of the experimental group were added to the virtual group. A self-care questionnaire for a child with diabetes was completed before and after the study for both groups. Paired t-test and chi-square were used to analyze the data under Stata 11 software. Results: There was a significant relationship between weight and knowledge of insulin before the intervention (P = 0. 003), weight and physical activity after the intervention (P = 0. 032), and maternal knowledge with knowledge of insulin after the intervention (P = 0. 014). Conclusion: Demographic characteristics can affect the empowerment of children with diabetes in four areas: how to measure blood sugar, follow insulin therapy, and follow a diet plan and physical activity.

Background and Objective: Migraine is the most common cause of headaches in children. Understanding the factors that lead to exacerbation of headaches and their recovery plays an important role in controlling the disease. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland of the midbrain and some surrounding tissues. Research has shown that melatonin levels are lower in patients with migraines than in healthy people. Propranolol is a firstline drug in the prevention of migraine headaches. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the effect of propranolol with melatonin on improving migraine intensity in patients without sleep disorders. Materials and Methods: In this study, 49 children aged 5 to 15 years old who referred to the pediatric neurology clinic of Besat Hospital in Hamadan with a headache complaint who were diagnosed with migraine were eligible to receive migraine prevention medication, entered the study. Patients with migraine without sleep disturbance were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (control group) were treated with propranolol tablets daily and the second group (case group) were treated with propranolol and melatonin tablets daily. The course of treatment was at least 4 weeks, and if patients received the appropriate response, treatment continued up to three months. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Results: In this study, 49 patients with migraine (27 boys and 22 girls) who had the criteria to enter the study with an average age of 2. 26 ± 10. 12 entered the study. The highest frequency was related to the location of the headache in the frontal region and the quality of the headache of the multiplier type. It took about 1. 5 years between the onset of the headache and the patients' visit to the doctor. The results of this study showed that the most irritating factor was school-related headaches and stress. The difference in the mean number of monthly headaches until the first month of treatment was not significant between the two groups, but after another three months of medication, the second group (propranolol and melatonin) surpassed the first group (propranolol) and decreased further in the number of monthly headaches Conclusion: According to the results of this study, propranolol alone can be considered as an effective drug for the treatment of various migraine headaches in children, but the results showed that melatonin consumption, especially with a duration of use of more than one month, according to the regulation of the sleep cycle and Awakening, if combined with propranolol, can be both more effective in reducing patients' headaches and improving treatment satisfaction.

Background and Objective: The Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) occurs in 50% of infants under 1000 g and 30% of infants less than 1500 g. Treatment failure can exacerbate respiratory distress and its complications. Acetaminophen is a new drug with fewer side effects. The present study was designed and performed to evaluate the effect of this drug and intravenous ibuprofen on the treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 50 preterm infants who were less or equal to 14 days of age and diagnosis of PDA by echocardiographic were included and randomly divided into two groups. The first group was treated with intravenous ibuprofen and the second group was treated with intravenous acetaminophen for three days. At the end, the necessary information, including echocardiographic findings were analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Results: The findings of the present study showed that both ibuprofen and acetaminophen had equal effect in the closing of PDA in preterm infants. There was no significant difference in the duration of hospitalisation between two groups (P = 0. 259). Possible side effects include intraventricular hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, serum creatinine greater than 1. 5 mg / dl, decreased urinary volume, necrotizing enterocolitis, positive blood culture and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were not significantly different between the two groups. The only significant complication was gastrointestinal bleeding, which was almost equally prevalent in both groups. Conclusion: Acetaminophen such as ibuprofen is effective as the main treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and it could be a safe alternative to ibuprofen.
