Pages 207-214IntroductionThis study aimed to examine the role of prenatal stressful events in mothers of children and adolescents with autistic disorder (AD).MethodsThis case-control study was conducted in 2014. A total number of 115 children and adolescents with AD were selected by convenience method from the autism rehabilitation centers in Tabriz, Iran. Moreover, 112 typically developing (TD) children and adolescents were selected from public schools using a random clustering method. Two groups were matched in terms of mother's and child's age and mother's educational level. The Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) semi-structured diagnostic interview was used to evaluate the presence of psychiatric disorders. The diagnosis of AD was made based on the DSM-IV criteria during separate diagnostic interviews by two child and adolescent psychiatrists. The life stressful events inventory was used to assess the presence of stressful events during pregnancy.ResultsAccording to Fisher's exact test, the frequency of stressful life events including failure to achieve life goals, high debt, frequent marital conflict, conflict with spouse's family, changes in sleeping habits, and sexual difficulties in the mothers of AD children during pregnancy was significantly higher than the mothers of TD children. Also, mothers of AD children reported significantly higher frequency for the positive stressful life events including the major job progress, starting or finishing education, change of education, location, and summer vacation during pregnancy.ConclusionSome stressful life events in mothers during pregnancy may be considered as risk factors for developing AD in their children. Further researches are needed to establish the results of this study.Keywords: Autistic Disorder, Prenatal, Risk Factors, Stressful Life Events, Mother

Pages 221-227IntroductionSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are among the selected medication to treat depression, panic disorder and many other psychiatric disorders. The most common undesirable effects of SSRIs are sexual dysfunctions that may lead to discontinuation of treatment in some patients. This study was conducted to compare sexual side-effects of two common drugs, citalopram and fluoxetine in male patients.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out on 60 male patients referred to the psychiatric clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2013. They were candidates for SSRIs treatment and the clinic physicians prescribed citalopram or fluoxetine for them. The patients were examined in two groups after taking written informed consent and initial completion of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire and no history of sexual dysfunction, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both citalopram and fluoxetine groups completed IIEF questionnaire again at the end of the first and second months after treatment and statistical analysis was done using SPSS.ResultsSexual dysfunction was observed in both groups in the all sexual function indices and its components. Although there was no significant difference in terms of sexual function components between the two groups, general sexual dysfunction was significantly higher in the fluoxetine group. In both groups, age was inversely related to the general sexual function index.ConclusionUnlike many other studies suggesting no difference on SSRI sexual side-effects, the present study showed a reduction in sexual function of men taking citalopram and fluoxetine and the reduction was more prominent with fluoxetine.Keywords: Sexual Side-Effects, Fluoxetine, Citalopram, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Qu

Pages 233-237Solitary neurofibroma is a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. In an investigation of 430000 pathologic samples, only 6 cases of neurofibroma had been reported in nose and paranasal sinuses. Present patient was a 15-year-old girl with left-sided nasal and malar mass, whose CT scan and MRI showed a non-circumscribed solid mass with total thickness affecting outer part of nose in left side as well as surface and deep soft tissue. The mentioned mass underwent excision by sub-labial incision and open rhinoplasty keeping infra-orbit nerve intact. Pathologic investigation of samples showed adipose fibroblast and skeletal muscle fibers with proliferation of spindle-shaped cells and staining was negative for GFAP and positive for S-100 which represents diagnosis of neurofibroma. Main differential diagnoses of benign tumors of paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity include neurofibroma, fibroma, leiomyomas, papilloma, and schwannoma. After resection tumor should be precisely monitored, since there is malignant transformation possibility in solitary neurofibromas.Keywords: Neurofibroma, Nose, Schwann cell, Paranasal sinuses
