Some investigatoes reported taht there is a relationship between.H.pylori chronic infection and the prevalence of acute coronary artery disease(CAD).it is suggested that H.pylori chronic infection causes some changes in serum levels of lipids an lipoproteins and produces inflamatory proteins which could give rise to thrombogenesis.in order to comfirm any correlation between positive history of H.pylori infection and the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction due to CAD a study has been performed on 104 cases of acute myocardial infarction diagnosed by history,ECG findings and elevation of the emzymes.serum levels of H.pylori specific LgG have been measured by ELISA technique.the results have been compared with those of 100 healthy subjects without gaterointestinal disease.the control group comsists of 80 males and 20 females aged between 40-90 years(mean 57 years for males and 56 for females).the case group consisted of 83 males and 21 females with the age range of 30-85 years(mean 59 years for males and 64 years for females).this investigation showed that 39.4% of patients with acute myocardial infarction were positive for H.pylori specific IgG and the remainder were negative.however only 16% were positive for H.pylori specific IgG among the control group.therefore it is concluded that the seropositivity rate of any-H.pylori IgG in the test group was greater than that of the control group and this difference was statistically significant(p=0.0002).however no relationship has been found between serum level of H.pylori -specit IgG and dyspepsia.no significant relationship has been observed between H.pylori infection ad coronary artery disease risk factors(p>0.05).generally the results indicated that H.pylori infection as a risk factor may have a role in causing myocardial infarction(independent of other risk factors).

Delirium is a syndrome consisting of cloudiness of consciousness,attention deficit,and cognitive impairment,with quick onset,but varring paths in its progression .delirium is more common after major surgeries in the elderly and hospitalized patients,resuting in high morbidity and mortality rates.the incidence rate that has been reported in previous studies varies from 1-3% in cataract surgery to 73.5%in orthopedic and open heart surgeries.the objectve of the present study was to determine the incidence of delirium during the first postoperative 5 days in 250 patients older than 40 undergoing elective surgeries in Kerman.MMSE test was used to screen the population and DSM-IV was used to confirm the diagnosis.postoperative delirium developed in 19 patients(7.6%,95% confidence interval:4.7% to 11.7%).it seems that postoperative delirium incidence in our surgery wards is lower than western countreis which can be due to less risk factors such as alcoholism and loneliness.nonetheless,attention should be paid to old patients undergoing prolonged major operations.

malnutrition is one of the important health problems in developing countries.it may have undesireable effects on mental and physical state of children and is an underlying factor for many infections.the aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of malnutrition in 6-24 month old in fanst in the pediatric ward of university hospital NO.1 in Kerman.for this purpose , the weight and height of 560 infants aged 6-24 months who were hospitalized during 1 year were measured and compared with the weight and height of 496 peer children who reffered to the health centers for monthly chechups.the nutritional status of both group was evaluated according to the weight for age(Gomez).weight for hright (Waterlow) and height for age(Waterlow) methods.43.5% of hospitalized infants were girls and 56.5% were boys.in the control group, the percentage of girls and boys were 39.5% and 60.5 % repectively.According to the weight for age(Gomez), the weight for height (Waterlow), and the height for age methode, the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized infants and control group were 76.2% and 60.5% (p<0.0001), 74.7% and 57.5%(p<0.0001) and 40.7% and 41%(p>0.23),respectively.according to the waterlow method,there was a statistically significant differecce(p<0.05) in malnutrition rate between boys(81.2%) and girls(65.5%) in hospitalized infants .the mothers, educational level,birth order,and parents, occupation had a significant role in the prevalence of malnutrition,but there was no significant difference in malnutrirtion of breast feeding and formula-feeding infanst.the majority of malnutrirtion cases were seen in infants who were suffering from cardiac,respiratory and diarrheal disorders or urinary tract infection.with respect to the fact that malnutrirtion is the predisposing factors for many infections and increases the chance for hospitalization,it is proposed that all hospitalized infants should also be evaluated and treated for malnutrition.therefore,in order to decreas the rate of malnutrition, the physicians and health care workers must acquire more experience in prevention,diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition.the importance of proper feeding must also be explained to the families.
