Abstract
Background: Femoral head osteonecrosis is a condition that caused decreased femoral head blood supply. The risk factors which involving in this disease including long time corticosteroid consumption, smoking, alcoholism. In this report, we aim to introduce a case of avascular necrosis of femoral head in a woman with a history of OCP consumption.
Case report:A 24 Y/O woman presented with pain in pelvis and both thighs within past 7 months, which radiated to legs and toe tips. 13 months ago, she had a history of OCP consumption for 2 months. After that she had to stop continuing the OCP taking as a result of headache, vertigo and blurred vision; and then her symptoms proved after 7 days treating with prednisone (total dose of 350mg).

Abstract
Pediatric cancer is one of the major challenges faced by healthcare systems worldwide, and Iran is no exception. Additionally, the prevalence of various hereditary blood diseases and bleeding disorders in our country, often due to consanguineous marriages, has necessitated the establishment of specialized departments in the healthcare sector to support these particular patients. These departments continuously require scientific information for decision-making and policy formulation. With the rising incidence of childhood cancer and the urgent need for specialized and advanced care, various organizations have been established in Iran to address this issue. One of the most significant of these organizations is the Iranian Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, which, with 155 active members and a considerable number of affiliate members distributed across the country, plays a crucial role in improving the medical and supportive care conditions for children with blood disorders and cancer. This article examines the history, activities, and challenges faced by this society.

Abstract
Background: Profuse bleeding is a leading cause of death due to trauma, for which proper hemostatic agents are required. Kaolin mineral and potash alum, due to their ability to promote blood coagulation and rapid hemostatic action, have received more attention than other generations. The aim of this study was to determine the coagulation power ability of these materials for producing dressings with high efficiency and ease.
Methods: 30 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of positive control (Tabastop), negative control (sterile gas), gauze impregnated with potash alum, chitosan, kaolin and gauze impregnated with all three of these substances. After inducing bleeding by making deep cuts in the femoral area, dressings were placed on the wounds and the amount of bleeding, stopping time and weight of the dressings were measured. The data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software using one-way ANOVA and Tukey`s test, and the significance level was p<0.05.
Results: The highest number of applied dressings belonged to Group 1, and the least belonged to group 6, which showed a significant difference. The longest required time to achieve complete hemostasis was in the group 1 and the least belonged to group 6. (p<0.05). The highest volume of blood loss was related to group 1, while the lowest volume of blood loss was observed in group 6. The difference between these two groups was also significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Dressings impregnated with chitosan, kaolin, and potash alum can effectively stop bleeding more quickly than other compounds.
