Aim: to determine the value of RNFL thickness at which visual field defect becomes detectable. Methods: Our study included 29 normal subject and 36 glaucomatous patient (one eye per person) .Every person was examined by OCTOPUS perimetry with glaucoma 30-2 program, and peripapillary RNFL thickness was measured by HIEDELBERGSPECTRALIS SD_OCT. Results: comparison of results showed higher sensitivity of OCT compared to Perimetry. Mean RNFL thickness at which visual field defect showed was 87 microns. Superior RNFL thickness value which correlated with inferior visual field defect was 101 microns, whereas inferior RNFL thickness value which correlated with superior visual field defect was 75 microns .and the difference in RNFL thickness between normal and glaucomatous visual field was significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: in open-angle glaucoma , it needs significant thinning in RNFL before visual field defects becomes detectable.

This study aim to determine the percentage of Blindness among patients, who visit retina clinic, and to know the main retinopathies leading to blindness, and to achieve this purpose, medical records of 852 patients who visited retina clinic betwee n January 2015 and January 2016 were analyzed. That information was classified according to the visual acuity and retinopathy. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 23.
To determine the percentage of Diabetic retinopathy patients among patients presenting at retina clinic at Almouassat University Hospital, and to study their systemic and ocular history, their diabetic retinopathy classification and macular involvement.
It was found in this research that the seismic response of the structure increases with the decrease in the shear waves velocity in the soil, and the seismic response of the structure increases with soil layer thickness between the foundations of the structure and bedrock depth.
The study includes 27 patients seen in AL-ASSAD University Hospital faculty of medicine Tishreen university Lattakia with gunshot sciatic nerve injury 11 of them have neurosurgery for nerve injury repair and 16 treated conservatory. All patients hav e regular physical therapy sessions for one year. The strengths of all Muscles which innervated by sciatic nerve branches have improved for all patients. The best improvement was seen at tibial branch innervated muscles and the worst was at deep peroneal branch innervated muscles. Also the improvement at sciatic nerve innervated muscles was better in conservative patients group comparing with surgical one. The best strengths were at semimembranosus, semitendinosus,and gastrocnemius musceles and the worst was at tibialis anterior muscle
