Aims of study: 1-To determine the prevalence and 2- the pattern of hypodontia in the permanent dentition in a sample of Syrian orthodontic patients who sought orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The orthodontic records of 623 patients aged 12 to 34, who sought orthodontic treatment in the Department of Orthodontics, Dental faculty/Damascus University, during the last three years (2011-2014), were investigated to establish the prevalence of patients with one or more permanent missing teeth. Results: 1-The prevalence of hypodontia was 7.10% of the studied sample (7.49% in females, and 6.35% in males). Males were less affected than females with a ratio of 1:1.18 with no significant differences between genders (P = 0.063). 2-The most common missing tooth was maxillary lateral incisor (56.52%), the least common missing tooth was maxillary first molar (0.87%). Missing in the maxillary jaw was significantly more frequent than the mandible (P=0.041( with significantly more anterior teeth missing than posterior teeth (P=0.009). Conclusions: The prevalence of hypodontia showed in this study was within the range published in the literature. The patterns are similar to most reported patterns in the literature.

113 psoriatic patients participated in the study. The patients were selected from the Dermatology and Venereology department at Alasad hospital in Lattakia city between 2012-2013 years. Mycological examination was carried out in all patients showing psoriatic nail changes .The aim of the study is to evaluate : the frequency of nail changes in psoriatic patients, the frequency of onychomychosis in patients with nail psoriasis and the factors that may have a role in the incidence of onychomcosis in patients with nail psoriasis. Nail changes were seen in (61.9%) of psoriatic patients (70 patients). Positive mycological cultures were obtained from 34 patients (48.6%). There was an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis in patients with high levels of NAPSI and long duration of psoriasis and nail psoriasis. There was a relationship between onychomycosis and the age of the patient. We found an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis among the patients who had a systemic therapy for psoriasis (methotrexate,cyclosporine) and the patients who had a history of contusion on nails. There was no relationship between onychomychosis and the gender of the patient. This study confirmed that onychomycosis may occur in patients with nail psoriasis
This study aims to determine the skeletal problems in sagittal plane in patients with congenital hypodontia. In this study, 96 cephalograms were taken of Syrian coastal father and mother. The sample was divided according to gender and to location of the missing teeth. The angles SNA, SNB and ANB were studied.

Background:Microscopic colitis (MC) encompasses collagenous and lymphocytic colitis and is diagnosed by histopathological changes of random biopsies which tacken from each segment of normal macroscopically colonic mucosae from patients who have ch ronic watery diarrhea of unknown etiology. Aims:Prevalence of microscopic colitis in patients with chronic watery diarrhea and have endoscopically normal colon . Materials and Methods:We prospectively enrolled 84 patients reviewed in ALASSAD and TISHREEN HOSPITALS between March 2015 until June 2016 .These patients were having watery diarrhea more than 3 times a day for more 4 weeks. Atotal 84 patients were enrolled for a total colonoscopy until terminal ileum . Two biopsies were obtained from all colonic segments and terminal ileum for diagnosed of microscopic colitis. On histopathologic examination, criteria for lymphocytic colitis (intraepithelial lymphocyte ≥ 20 per 100 surface epithelial cells, change in surface epithelium, mononuclear infiltration of the lamina propria) and collagenous colitis (subepithelial collagen band thickness ≥ 10 μm) were explored. Results:Microscopic colitis was diagnosed in 33 (39%)patients {22lymphocytic colitis,11collagenous colitis} . Female/Male: 15/18, mean age at diagnosis of microscopic colitis : 37 year, range: 20-69, the median duration of diarrhea: 9.5 monthes , the median number of bowel movements per day:5 times .And the common symptoms are: abdominal pain and flatulence. Conclusion :Biopsy of Syrian patients with the diagnosis of chronic watery diarrhea of unknown etiology and normal colonoscopic findings will reveal microscopic colitis in approximately 39% of the patients. Lymphocytic colitis is two times more frequent than collagenous colitis in these patients.
