Background and purpose: Family is among the most important foundations in a society which forms the personality of individuals. Satisfaction, happiness and quality of life provided by the family will influence the growth and life skills of its individuals. Family health promoting lifestyle can immensely affect children’s habits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between family health promoting lifestyle and sleeping habits among children (6 to 11 years of age) in Qazvin, Iran 2014. Materials and methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study we included 278 families and their 6-11-year old children (year 1 to 6 in state and private primary schools) who were selected through random cluster sampling. Data was collected using Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile [HPLP II] and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Pearson Correlation Coefficient was applied to analyze the data. Results: The participants had an overall HPLP-II score of 125.48. Significant relationships were found between children wake up time and family’s responsibility (sig = 0.00, r = 0.12), family’s spiritual growth (sig= 0.00, r=0.14) and the total HPLP-II score (sig=0.00, r=0.18). There was also significant associations between children´s sleeping habit and the relationships in the family (sig=0.00, r=0.19). Conclusion: The families were found to have average standards in health promoting lifestyle which led to having children with relatively good sleeping habits. Therefore, improving the health promoting lifestyle in a family can modify children sleeping habits.

Fibrosarcoma is a rare neoplasm associated with locally-recurring and highly metastatic malignant mesenchymal fibroblast. This type of neoplasm is more prevalent among young adults and children. Fibrosarcoma can be treated by surgery for excision of the healthy marginal tissues alone or in combination with radiotherapy. This study presents the case of a 22-year-old female patient in Arak Vali-e-Asr Hospital, Iran 2018, complaining of hemorrhage and thoracic pain between her two scapula bones. On examination, a hemorrhagic tumor necrosis was observed. Cranial nerve examination showed normal results, no tenderness was detected in cervical and lumbar vertebrae, while thoracic vertebrae were tender. The limb force was 5/5 . CT scan and MRI imaging showed a well-defined soft tissue tumor measuring 140 *126*140 mm3. It did not involve the vertebrae and spinal canals. The patient underwent surgery three days post-admission and a 2600-gram mass was excised. Pathological results indicated a fibrosarcoma (grade of 2-3) with mitosis but no necrosis.
