Background & objectives:�Urinary tract infections account for about 40% of hospital acquired (nasocomial) infections, and about 80% of them are associated with urinary catheters. This study was conducted to determine the prophylactic effect of one-dose Amikacin on acquired infection related to catheterization.
Methods:�A double blind, clinical-controlled trial of prophylactic one dose (500 mg) Amikacin IV was performed on selected groups of 60 patients of Fatemi Hospital in Ardabil, who had bladder catheter. Patients were randomly assigned to receive Amikacin and placebo (n=30 cases in each group) and were adjusted for age as much as possible. Before and after intervention the urine sample was taken from all patients and to determine the type of microorganisms the simple and selective culture media (such as nutrient agar, EMB agar) and differential tests for the detection of specific isolated microorganisms (Coagulase test Garv Manitol IMVIC were performed. The data analyzed using descriptive-analytical statistics by SPSS statistical software v.16.
Results: The findings showed that the mean urinary catheter days in the intervention group were 7.06 and in control group was 7.5 days. The prevalence of bacteriuria was 6.6% in the intervention group and 26.6% in the control group [RR: 4.03] (p≤0.04). The most common microorganisms isolated were E. coli 13.3 3% and Klebsiella 13.33%.
Conclusion: There was some evidence that one dose of Amikacin prophylaxis can reduce the rate of bacteriuria.
Keywords:�Amikacin, Prophylaxis, Catheter Related Urinary Infection.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Childhood obesity is a public health challenge. Proper nutrition is one of the essential parts of healthy growth. Many of the chronic diseases of adulthood are rooted in childhood nutrition and the dietary patterns are mainly shaped in childhood. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and obesity in 8-12 years old children in Rasht.
Methods: This research was a descriptive– analytic study performed on 975 primary school students in Rasht in 2014. Samples were selected by cluster random sampling. A questionnaire including demographic characteristics and nutritional information was used to collect data. The participants’ body mass indices were also calculated. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution statistical tests, Kruskal-Wallis, U Mann-Whitney and Logistic Regression in SPSS v.21 software.
Results: Results showed that 20% of samples (n=195) were overweight and 18.4% (n=179) were obese. From the dietary status, consumption of fruit and vegetable (p<0.003), breakfast (p<0.008), chocolate (p<0.036), fast food (p<0.01) and cereal (p<0.01) had a significant association with obesity.
Conclusion: Due to a direct connection between eating breakfast, beans, fruit, and vegetables with having a normal weight and also a correlation between fast food and chocolate consumption with obesity, it seems that family and society education is necessary to have healthy nutrition and hence healthy children.

Abstract
Background: Childbearing is an important component of population science and the field of social issues. In recent years, there has been an increasing need for a deeper understanding of people's desire to have children. Also, it is necessary to identify the direct and indirect influencing factors of these conditions. This study aimed to explain the challenges related to childbearing from the perspective of married women aged 15-49.
Methods: The current qualitative study was conducted in 2023 using conventional content analysis. The research setting was where people lived and worked in Khalkhal city. A purposive sampling method was used, following the principles of maximum diversity. After obtaining informed consent, individual and semi-structured interviews were conducted and recorded with 24 women of reproductive age. Data collection continued until saturation was reached. The five-step method of Granheim and Lundman (2004) was used to analyze the data.
Results: According to the analyzed interviews conducted with married women of reproductive age, four main categories in the field of childbearing were derived. These categories include economic challenges (financial problems and problems providing housing and life necessities), personal and family factors (maternal career challenges, parental mental and physical problems, individualism and avoidance of parental concerns, gender and desired number of children, and inadequate family support), social and cultural factors (unguaranteed future, adoption of social modeling, lack of child-rearing facilities and ineffective and inadequate childbearing policies) and labor phobia during childbirth (unpleasant experience and difficult childbirth and pregnancy experience). The most important challenge in childbearing was economic issues with the most recurring concept in the interviews.
Conclusion: The adoption of social modeling from society and the norm of low childbearing rate in society, economic and social issues on the one hand, and women's individualistic tendencies and avoiding child-rearing concerns on the other hand, lead families to low childbearing. This requires the adoption of policies and facilitating strategies to improve childbearing behavior. The results of this study can provide a small picture of the current state of willingness and unwillingness to have children in society and serve as a guide for officials in short-term, medium-term, and long-term planning to increase childbearing desire
