This study included 232 patient with acne between the ages of 12 and 38 years old. Acne vulgaris was graded using Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). This study was undertaken to detect the impact of acne vulgaris and related factors that may influence the quality of life (QoL). QoL was measured using a combination of skin disease-specific (Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI)) and acne-specific (Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI)) questionnaires. The results showed significant impairment of QoL in acne patients , females were more affected than the males, there was no association between age and quality of life impairment and the impact was proportional to the severity of acne, more severe acne is associated with greater effect on quality of life.

Research summary
تتناول الدراسة تأثير العذ الشائع على نوعية الحياة ومعدل العجز الذي يتسبب به عند المرضى. شملت الدراسة 232 مريضاً تتراوح أعمارهم بين 12 و38 عاماً، وتم تقييم شدة العذ باستخدام نظام تقييم درجة العد العالمي (GAGS). استخدمت الدراسة مقياسين لتقييم نوعية الحياة: مشعر نوعية الحياة الجلدي (DLQI) ومشعر منسب العجز العذي لكارديف (CADI). أظهرت النتائج تأثيراً كبيراً للعذ على نوعية الحياة، حيث تأثرت الإناث بشكل أكبر من الذكور، ولم يكن هناك ارتباط بين العمر ونوعية الحياة. كما كان التأثير على نوعية الحياة متناسباً مع شدة العذ، فكلما زادت شدة العذ زاد التأثير السلبي على نوعية الحياة. أوصت الدراسة بأهمية تقديم الدعم النفسي للمرضى بجانب العلاج الطبي لتحسين نوعية حياتهم.
Critical review
تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة هامة في فهم تأثير العذ الشائع على نوعية الحياة، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل توسيع العينة لتشمل مناطق جغرافية مختلفة للحصول على نتائج أكثر شمولية. ثانياً، لم تتناول الدراسة العوامل النفسية والاجتماعية بشكل كافٍ، والتي قد تكون لها تأثير كبير على نوعية الحياة. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن استخدام مقاييس إضافية لتقييم نوعية الحياة بشكل أكثر دقة. وأخيراً، كان من المفيد تضمين متابعة طويلة الأمد للمرضى لمعرفة تأثير العذ على نوعية الحياة على المدى الطويل.

This study included 198 patients who were divided into groups according the clinical severity of acne: mild (30.30%), moderate (44.44%), severe acne (25.25%). We chose 50 persons who did not have acne and depended on them as a control group. Our s tudy showed the correlation between high and frequent consumption of certain food stuff (milk, dairy products, fried food, sweets and food with a high content of sugars, chocolate) and the increase in the risk of occurrence acne. We could not prove the existence of a relationship between frequent intake of (eggs, fatty food, nuts) and the incidence of the disease. But the study showed that increased intake of each of the (dairy products, eggs, sweets, sugars, and food high in fat and fried) may be exacerbating factors the disease, because increased consumption was accompanied by more severe cases of the disease. But we did not notice this link with chocolate and nuts. Our study also showed the importance of the high consumption of each (fruit, vegetables, fish and marine products) as a prevention of occurrence acne, and the lack of consumption increase the probability of appearance the disease
the appearance of one’s hair is central to feelings of attractiveness and selfesteem for many, so the disturbance in this appearance will reflect upon the psychosocial aspects of the patient and thus on the quality of his life. The androgenetic alo pecia (male pattern baldness) is the most common cause of hair loss in men, as it affects about 50% of adult men, so it may be considered the biggest threat in this aspect, but there are no epidemiological studies that study the actual effect of androgenetic alopecia on the quality of life of the patients in Syria. study the effect of the androgenetic alopecia on quality of life of the Syrian male patients.
The aim of the research was to study the effect of five mowing dates (vegetative growth, beginning of flowering inflorescences, beginning of flowering, full flowering, and completion of vegetative growth at the beginning of September for plants that had previously been mowed), on some morphological, physiological, and productivity indicators of common thyme.
This paper deals with the insurance sector in the Syrian Arab Republic during the period between 1990-2012, we studied the impact of economic and demographic factors on the demand for life insurance size. It was considered the volume of life insu rance premiums indication of the size of the demand for life insurance, also we study the impact of some determinants on the demand / income - unemployment - interest rate - inflation - life expectations - education - urbanization /. A statistical analysis by spss to study variables program was carried out, in order to reach the most important determinants affecting the insurance demand, income and the inflation and the interest rate are the most effective determinant in influencing the insurance demand, While statistically significant for the rest of determinants effect does not appear.
Background& Objective: pemphigus vulgaris is a life threatening relapsing disease, the first line in its treatment is systemic steroids, and due to the high rate of side effects caused by systemic steroids in pemphigus vulgaris patients ,some immun osuppressant drugs have been introduced as an adjuvant steroid sparing agents , and one of these immunosuppressants is azathioprine, which is the most used drug by therapists, but this use was due to experience and not due to strict studies , this research studies the relationship between azathioprine and relapse in pemphigus vulgaris patients during the prednisolone reduction period. Materials & Methods: 70 pemphigus vulgaris patients have been studied, from the patients of the dermatology university hospital during the period between 1/8/2008 -29/5/2011 (the first year for collecting the sample and the rest for follow-up) they have been divided into 2 groups. The first: were treated with prednisolone plus azathioprine (30 patients ), the second : were treated with prednisolone alone (40 patients ).and after the control of the disease the dose of prednisolone was reduced gradually ,till it was stopped, and patients were observed for relapse. Results: there was no meaningful statistical difference between the two groups in the terms of relapse, as giving azathioprine did not reduce the relapse rate, and did not reduce the prednisolone dose needed to prevent relapse. Conclusion: in this study no use of azathioprine in preventing relapse in pemphigus vulgaris patients, so we advise for more studies to confirm that, and to give more attention during its prescription.
