Background& Objective: Kawasaki disease is a generalized vasculitis of unknown etiology which causes coronary artery abnormalities in 20-25 percent of untreated children. The aim of this study was to determine the type of heart lesion and the coronary risk factors and to identify patients with high risk in order to take the necessary measures to reduces morbidity and morbidity. Materials & Methods: We studied 70 children, aged 3 month to 10 years, who met the criteria for the diagnosis of KD, two thirds were males. Results: Of the (70) children who had KD , 15 cases (21.4 %) had coronary artery abnormalities ,12 cases (17 %) had pericarditis, and 7 cases (10 %) had mitral regurgitation .The coronary artery abnormalities were classified as follows: diffuse ectasia (5) cases 33.3%, coronary artery aneurysms 10 cases (66.6%). small to medium-sized coronary artery aneurysms (6) cases, large sized coronary artery aneurysms (2) cases, and giant aneurysms in (2) cases . The risk factors for coronary aneurysms were age less than 1 year or more than 5 years, male gender, fever lasting more than 10 days or recurrence of fever after an a febrile period, lower hemoglobin, lower platelet count, higher white cell count , lower albumin level and pericarditis. Echocardiogram follow up studied indicate coronary artery aneurysms resolve within 5 to 31 months in approximately 60% of patients where (6) aneurysms regressed spontaneously and the two large aneurysms became smaller. One patient with giant aneurysm had developed coronary stenosis and needed a coronary bypass surgery at the age of 9 years. Conclusion: Coronary aneurysms were the predominant cardiac lesions in our series, most of these aneurysms were resolved at follow up of 2-3 years.

Research summary
تناول البحث دراسة داء كاوازاكي، وهو التهاب أوعية حاد مجهول السبب يصيب الأطفال، ويؤدي إلى إصابات في الشرايين الإكليلية بنسبة 20-25% من الأطفال غير المعالجين. هدفت الدراسة إلى تحديد نمط الإصابات القلبية وعوامل الخطورة المرتبطة بها، وذلك من خلال دراسة 70 طفلاً تتراوح أعمارهم بين 3 شهور و10 سنوات، حيث شكل الذكور نحو ثلثي الحالات. أظهرت النتائج أن 21.4% من الأطفال المصابين بداء كاوازاكي يعانون من إصابات في الشرايين الإكليلية، و17% يعانون من التهاب التأمور، و10% يعانون من قصور تاجي. تم تصنيف الإصابات الإكليلية إلى توسع عابر وأمهات الدم بأحجام مختلفة. عوامل الخطورة تضمنت العمر أقل من سنة أو أكثر من 5 سنوات، الجنس الذكري، الحمى المستمرة لأكثر من 10 أيام، انخفاض خضاب الدم، انخفاض تعداد الصفيحات الدموية، ارتفاع تعداد الكريات البيض، انخفاض ألبومين المصل، والتهاب التأمور. أظهرت المتابعة بتصوير صدى القلب تراجع أمهات الدم بشكل عفوي في نحو 60% من الحالات خلال مدة راوحت بين 5 و31 شهراً. خلصت الدراسة إلى أن أمهات الدم الإكليلية كانت الإصابة القلبية الأكثر شيوعاً، وأن معظمها تراجعت بشكل عفوي خلال فترة المتابعة.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة في تسليط الضوء على داء كاوازاكي وعلاقته بالإصابات القلبية وعوامل الخطورة المرتبطة به. ومع ذلك، هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، حجم العينة قد يكون غير كافٍ لتعميم النتائج على جميع الأطفال المصابين بداء كاوازاكي. ثانياً، لم يتم تناول العوامل الوراثية أو البيئية التي قد تسهم في تطور المرض. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تم تضمين متغيرات إضافية مثل العوامل الغذائية أو الاجتماعية. وأخيراً، كان من الأفضل توضيح المزيد من التفاصيل حول الإجراءات العلاجية المستخدمة وكيفية تأثيرها على النتائج النهائية.

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and stages of chronic kidney disease and to identify common causes of chronic kidney disease in patients as well as the study of risk factors for the disease. The study included 1314 patients have been admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine at al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia where they were diagnosed with chronic renal disease patients at 120 of them by 9.1%. The causes of chronic kidney disease were: diabetes 41.7%; hypertension 30%; Glomerulonephritis 11.7%; obstructive uropathy 5%; and Glomerugenetic disease 3.3%; mm3.3%; polycystic kidney d isease3.3% ; idiopathic 1.7%. Chronic kidney disease stages 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; were: 10%; 21.7%; 33.3% 20%; 15% respectively. Risk factors were: advanced age (over 50) 75%; high blood sugar 53.3%; lack of blood albumin 65%; hypertension 38.3%; family history of chronic kidney disease 25%; high triglycerides and cholesterol 11.7% .
Purpose: Lacunar infarcts is an important stroke subgroup with unique clinical and pathologic features, but risk factors for lacunar infarcts have been rarely documented. To address this matter, we studied 65 patients had lacunar infarction at Depa rtment of Neurology , Tishreen University Hospital , Lattakia , Syria , and 65 controls during the period between May 2017 – May 2018 . Methods: We obtained information concerning risk factor exposure status among the patients by a structured questionnaire , we recorded age , sex , blood pressure , glucose , heart diseases , cigarette smoking , alcohol drinking , physical exercise for patiens and controls .We do laboratory tests and ECG and echocardiography and CT brain or MRI . Results: Significantly increasing the risk of lacunar stroke were hypertension (P-value=0.0001) and (OR=9.9), Current smokers (P-value=0.002) and (OR=5.2), diabetes (P-value=0.001) and (OR=5.3) , whereas frequent physical exercise was associated with a significantly decreased risk) P-value=00001( and (OR=2.6). There was no risk of lacunar stroke associated with heart disease (P-value=0.6) (OR=0.8) , high cholesterol (Pvalue= 1) and (OR=1) , alcohol drinking (P-value=0.7) and (OR=0.8). Conclusions: Patients with hypertension or diabetes, current smokers, those who have not heart disease, are at a higher risk of lacunar stroke, whereas those who undertake regular physical exercise may be at lower risk.
Cancer alone kills 7.6 million people every year. According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, cancer deaths in the Eastern Mediterranean Region will increase from 9.4% in 2015 to 12.3% in 2030 of all deaths. These estimates are based on t he impact of population growth and aging, as well as increased exposure to factors that increase the incidence of cancer, such as smoking, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, alcoholism and environmental pollution, which will lead to a higher burden of cancer. Therefore, the current descriptive study was conducted to assess some of the risk factors associated with cancer. This study was applied to a sample of 100 cancer patients available in the Oncology Department at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia city. A questionnaire developed by the researcher was used for this purpose. The results showed that there are many risk factors that can be prevented, the most important of which are smoking, eating secreted meals, preserving food in plastic containers, and the presence of communication towers next to places of residence or work. The study recommended the necessity of conducting health education sessions about cancer and predisposing risk factors, activating the role of institutions and organizations in preventing risk factors, and conducting other research at the republic level.
A retrospective study of 55 cases (mean age 55, range 82 ـ 35 years) of Gastrointestinal stromal tumors cancer admitted at AL Assad University Hospital , Lattakia , Syria. from 1\1\2002 to 1\1\2014 for studying its :locations ,risk factors and surgic al management. Stomach was the most common site for GISTs in 52.27% , small intestinal in 30.90%, rectum in 9.09% and colon in 7.27%. The most common clinical signs and symptoms were: gastrointestinal bleeding 61.8% ,abdominal pain 21.81%.the histologic prognosis was high and moderate in 72.72% of patients. Total gastrictomy was performed for one patient ,subtotal gastrictomy for 16 patients and a wedge in 11 cases. In 6 patients a segementectomy of small intestinal were performed. and in one patient a resection of the upper rectum performed.
The study included 1,800 patients who were admitted in the following departments (surgery, internal and gynecology department) at AL- ASSAD University Hospital in Lattakia in 2011-2012 from the age of 40 years and above. The study, which was based on a built-in statistical form of risk factors for breast cancer, showed that the percentage of the infected was 9,8%. All risk factors including ageing ,obesity, lack or absence of birth, late age at first childbirth, early puberty, late menopause, hormonal treatment, injuring a first degree relative, staying in cities and the size of bras increase the risk of breast cancer and the impact is worth respectively: 0,115-0,387-0,178-0,157-0,143-0,217-0,15-0,030-0,092-0,244-0,212.
