This paper presents a new solution that allows the doctors to know drug interactions, considering other affecting factors such as the patient's age, weight, physiological and pathological condition. This solution is characterized by being increment al, not only by enriching the database with drug interactions information, but also by its ability to conclude other interactions through a built-in expert system. The system concludes drugs interactions based on its active substrates and the potential interactions between them or between the drugs families. The system serves in three ways; it determines whether the patient illness is possibly due to the medications he is on. It alerts the doctor to the interaction of the newly prescribed medication with the patient’s medications, and to its influence on the patient’s physiological or pathological condition. Besides, it suggests alternative drugs when needed. The solution offers additional services such as binding between the brand name and the generic drug, and between drugs and diseases.
Aims of study: 1-To determine the prevalence and 2- the pattern of hypodontia in the permanent dentition in a sample of Syrian orthodontic patients who sought orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The orthodontic records of 623 patients ag ed 12 to 34, who sought orthodontic treatment in the Department of Orthodontics, Dental faculty/Damascus University, during the last three years (2011-2014), were investigated to establish the prevalence of patients with one or more permanent missing teeth.

Males were less affected than females with a ratio of 1:1.18 with no significant differences between genders (P = 0.063). 2-The most common missing tooth was maxillary lateral incisor (56.52%), the least common missing tooth was maxillary first molar (0.87%). Missing in the maxillary jaw was significantly more frequent than the mandible (P=0.041( with significantly more anterior teeth missing than posterior teeth (P=0.009). Conclusions: The prevalence of hypodontia showed in this study was within the range published in the literature. The patterns are similar to most reported patterns in the literature.

Mycological examination was carried out in all patients showing psoriatic nail changes .The aim of the study is to evaluate : the frequency of nail changes in psoriatic patients, the frequency of onychomychosis in patients with nail psoriasis and the factors that may have a role in the incidence of onychomcosis in patients with nail psoriasis. Nail changes were seen in (61.9%) of psoriatic patients (70 patients). Positive mycological cultures were obtained from 34 patients (48.6%). There was an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis in patients with high levels of NAPSI and long duration of psoriasis and nail psoriasis. There was a relationship between onychomycosis and the age of the patient. We found an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis among the patients who had a systemic therapy for psoriasis (methotrexate,cyclosporine) and the patients who had a history of contusion on nails.
