The co morbidity of substance dependence and psychiatric disorders is common. This co morbidity complicates the diagnosis and treatment of both types of disorders and causes a lot of complications and bad consequences. There is a great deal of co morbidity between substance abuse, including alcohol, and other psychiatric disorders such as mood disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of each substance dependence and its co morbidity with other psychiatric disorders because this co morbidity has many significant psychiatric and social problems.

This article aims to assess the application of skull- base approaches and their results in the management of different skull-base pathology in Al- Muwasat university hospital in Damascus. Different approaches to the skull base (Supraorbital, Crani oOrbito- Zygomatic, Extended middle fossa, Petrosal and Transcondylar) were used according to the pathology and site of the lesion.
Hyperimmunoglobulin E (Job) syndrome is considered to be a relatively rare disease. Its characterized by recurrent infections in skin (eg. boils, abscesses), recurrent upper respiratory tract infections (eg. otitis media, sinusitis and mastoiditis) , and lower respiratory infections (eg. recurrent pneumonia, which is often complicated by pneumatoceles and lung abscess), that are usually difficult to treat. The highly increased IgE levels are considered to be the hallmark of the disease. The syndrome has two types: one is inherited as an autosomal recessive, and the other, as an autosomal dominant trait. To highlight the clinical manifestations and laboratory findigs of Job disease, and to compare it with medical literature, to study the bacterial complications and differrent types of antibacterial treatments and treir results, and to increase the level of awareness among physicians.
Background& Objective: Selective IgA deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency in humans. Its prevalence ranges from 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 in among Arab populations. The majority of patients with selective IgA deficiency are asymptomat ic. The remaining present with recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections, recurrent gastrointestinal infections, otitis media, sinusitis, celiac disease, giardiasis, allergic disorders and some autoimmune diseases. to highlight the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of Selective IgA deficiency in our study, and to compare it with medical literature. To study the bacterial complications and their prevalence. Materials & Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in Damascus University Children’s Hospital on sixteen child diagnosed as Selective IgA deficiency, in a period of the last ten years (from 2000 till September 2010). Results: most cases in our study were among males, failure to thrive was found in 75%, hepatosplenomegaly in one third, the most prominent infectious complications were: recurrent pneumonia (in 87.5% of cases), recurrent GI infections (in 75% of cases) and UTI’s in (50%)of cases. On the other hand, the celiac disease was found in (25%) of our patients, which is much higher than described in medical literature. In general, the infectious complications had a good response to antibacterial therapy, and the IgA levels became normal in one patient, when he reached the age of eleven years. Conclusion: there is no information in medical literature about the association of selective IgA deficiency with hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, failure to thrive and an increased prevalence of urinary tract infections, therefore, it is necessary to conduct researches about this association.

The empty sella syndrome (ESS) is an asymptomatic radiological syndrome, affecting 6% of post-menopausal women and can be seen in all ages. The results were similar with other studies in many respects, such as a wide age spectrum including childre n, and the occurrence of diabetes insipidus in 5.97%. The results of our study were discordant with other studies with respect to hyperprolactinemia which reached 58.2% in our study (in other studies did not exceed 33.7%). No concurrent cases of secretory pituitary adenomas were found (studies refer to an incidence of acromegaly and Cushing’s syndrome in 2.6% of ESS for each). We did not record CSF rhinorrhea nor were visual disturbances seen in our cohort. Patients received symptomatic treatment and none were referred to surgery.
