The Role of the Family Atmosphere in Relation to Public Health through High school Female Students in the City of Yazd

Introduction: The role of the family atmosphere in relation to public health of high school female students in Yazd. Family as a social system is with basic needs, like: Self-esteem, physical security, belonging and intimacy, dependency, responsibility, need to be motivated and approved by others, pointed out the need for happiness, success, and spiritual needs. Every family situation is unique and emotional space and office procedures and practices are different. If people, especially parents, knew the effect of family atmosphere and their performance on health and prosperity of children , they will try to balance and support their children. Therefore, we decided to study the relationship between public health and family atmosphere of students . Methods:This study is a descriptive survey method. The data was collected by the General Health Questionnaire( GHQ 28) and family atmosphere questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 and descriptive analytic test. Results: The results showed that all students of different scale of public health (physical symptoms scale, scale of anxiety, social functioning scale and a scale of depression) were slightly mild. The results showed there was negative significant difference(P<0.001) between all of the Structures Inventory family atmosphere and scales of GHQ28With the exception of the structure, openness to others. Conclusion: The results of this study and comparison with other studies is good guide for education and training of children and students and Parents can use them to improve the health of their children

Clinical and Metabolic Response to Selenium Supplementation in Pregnant Women at Risk for Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Data on the effects of selenium supplementation on clinical signs and metabolic profiles in women at risk for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are scarce. This study was designed to assess the effects of selenium supplementation on clinical signs and metabolic status in pregnant women at risk for IUGR. This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed among 60 women at risk for IUGR according to abnormal uterine artery Doppler waveform. Participants were randomly assigned to intake either 100 μg selenium supplements as tablet (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) for 10 weeks between 17 and 27 weeks of gestation. After 10 weeks of selenium administration, a higher percentage of women in the selenium group had pulsatility index (PI) of <1.45) (P = 0.002) than of those in the placebo group. In addition, changes in plasma levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (P < 0.001), glutathione (GSH) (P = 0.008), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P = 0.004) in the selenium group were significant compared with the placebo group. Additionally, selenium supplementation significantly decreased serum insulin (P = 0.02), homeostasis model of assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (P = 0.02), and homeostatic model assessment for B-cell function (HOMA-B) (P = 0.02) and significantly increased quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) (P = 0.04) and HDL-C levels (P = 0.02) compared with the placebo. We did not find any significant effect of selenium administration on malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and other lipid profiles. Overall, selenium supplementation in pregnant women at risk for IUGR resulted in improved PI, TAC, GSH, hs-CRP, and markers of insulin metabolism and HDL-C levels, but it did not affect MDA, NO, FPG, and other lipid profiles.
