Our study included (84) patients: 86 cases suffering from chronic osteomyelitis: various causes, location and degrees.
All patients operated: after curettage of necrotic and infected tissues; system of continuous irrigation with antibiotics was in
serted to the infected zone; all cases were followed up for 1 year. 86% of positive results were obtained and results were bad in 14% of cases>
The high positive results (86%) confirm high effect of continuous irrigation with antibiotics as a good method for chronic osteomyelitis treatment, because this method allows delivery of suitable antibiotics in high concentration into the infected area, which is enough to kill microbes and allows to obtain best results.
This study aims to extract the psychometric properties of the Adolescent edition of
Toulouse self-esteem scale. The scale was translated from French to Arabic and it was
introduced to a set of Arabic language specialists to ensure good paraphrasing
, and then it
was back-translated to the original language (the French) to ensure the accuracy of the
translation. The Scale was implemented on a random sample consisting of 466 adolescents
in Lattakia city. The study results indicate a high level of validity of the scale and high
degree scale of reliability identical with the statistical indicators to of the French version of
the scale. Subsequently, hypothesis were tested to check whether there is a difference
between male and female scores on the scale. Differences in the dimension of the social
self were found. The research concluded to suggest the need for further studies on the scale
in different environments and the need of using it in educational and psychological fields.
20 antibiotics were monitored for their sales for six months, through official
prescriptions in six drug stores throughout Lattakia. Percent proportions of
sale for each antibiotic were reported. These statistical data were correlated
with laborat
ory studies on screening these antibiotics on different bacterial
strains that collected from different laboratories and hospitals of Lattakia.
The purpose of this continuous study is to undertake an assessment of levels
of antibiotic resistance by local isolated bacteria, and to determine the
factors influencing the offspring of that resistance.
1430 medical prescriptions were reported, 965 of them (i.e.: 67, 48%)
contained one or more antibiotic. In addition, there were 340 cases of nonofficial
sales of some distinct antibiotics.
275 of bacterial strains were isolated from clinical specimens (mostly were
as urogenital, pharyngeal, wounds, and burns infections). These strains
distributed as follow: 183 (i.e.: 66, 54%), were Enterobacteriaceae strains.
The information related to the level of knowledge that Syrian dentists have

d by dentists in Damascus.
This study aims to extract the psychometric properties of the adult edition of
Toulouse self-esteem scale. The scale was translated from French to Arabic and it was
introduced to a set of Arabic language specialists to ensure good paraphrasing, and
then it
was re-translated to the original language (French) to ensure the accuracy of the
translation. The Scale was implemented on a random sample consisting of 500 adults in
Latakia city. The study results indicate a high level of validity of the scale and high degree
scale of reliability identical with the statistical indicators to of the French version of the
scale. Subsequently a series of hypotheses was tested which showed that there was no
difference between male and female means degrees on the scale except the social self field.
Also, it was found that there are statistical differences by educational level of respondents
in favor of postgraduate and graduate degrees. The differences on scale dimensions
according to the taxonomic variables (gender and educational level) were studied too. The
research suggested further studies on the scale in different environments and the necessity
to be used in educational and psychological fields.
