Abstract
Background and Aim: Vitiligo is a prevalent depigmentaling skin disorder, which has a great impact on the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of quality of life of these patients with self-compassion and experiential avoidance.
Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Second Edition of Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), and Vitiligo Quality of Life Index (VitiQoL) were completed by 105 patients with vitiligo (49.5% male) who were selected through available sampling method. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, ANOVA and covariance analysis.
Results: The average of quality of life score of the participants in the study was 32.14. There was a significant relationship (P<0.01) of the quality of life scores with the scores of experiential avoidance (R=0.28), self-judgment (R=0.36), isolation (R=0.52) and extreme identification (R=0.42). After removing the confounding effect of the variables on each other, the relationship of quality of life score with the location of the lesion (P=0.04) and isolation score (P=0.001) was significant.
Conclusion: Self-compassion and experiential avoidance play an important role in the quality of life of patients with vitiligo, and targeting these two components through psychological treatments can be effective in improving the quality of life of these patients.

Abstract
Notalgia paresthetica (NP) is a neuropathic complication which occurs within the innervating field of T2-T6 spinal nerves. The patient complains of burning and itching sensation in the lower part of the inner margin of the scapula, and because of frequent itching,signs of skinscratching and hyperpigmentation are observed in the affected area. The definite cause of this pathology is unclear. Available resources have suggested the followings as the possible causes of the disorder: entrapment of the sensory branches within surrounding muscles, postural abnormalities such as scoliosis and kyphosis and degenerative changes of the spine. NP is usually represented as a rare pathology, however, the relatively common clinical incidence suggests a lack of attention to appropriateidentification, diagnosis and treatment ofthe patients. Diagnosis is done through history taking and physical examination, and there is often no need to
additional studiesfor confirmation. A wide spectrum of treatment options have been recommended. Although there is often a tendency to prescribe topical and oral medications for treatment of NP, but application of non-pharmacological therapies such as therapeutic exercises to correct abnormal postures, physical agent modalities such as electrical stimulation and also acupuncture can be effective in accelerating the treatment process and increasing the duration of recovery. Given the undeniable importance of the disorder and its impact on patient's quality of life, a comprehensive approach to existing treatment options with an emphasis on the role of physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists will be discussed in this paper.

Abstract
Acupuncture is an ancient medical procedure that is commonly used. It has been used in China for over two thousand years. Acupuncture has gained increasing interest from the public as well as health professionals for a wide range of disorders. This method works through regulation of qi current (life energy in body). Acupuncture has been introduced recently in dermatology for rejuvenation and treatment of facial wrinkles and improving muscle tone and elasticity. Acupuncture is used for treatment of many medical conditions including skin disorders. Tiny, sterile, needles are inserted along meridian lines and acupuncture points to increase blood circulation. Cosmetic acupuncture is a totally natural and holistic anti-ageing treatment that aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Different mechanisms have been proposed for cosmetic acupuncture, including increasing muscle elasticity, and restoring muscle tone. There have been also evidence of increase in skin moisture and lipid.
In this method, body points and local facial points are used and usually 10-12 sessions of facial acupunctures are recommended. With the increasing popularity of complementary therapies in the community, acupuncture is also considered as a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Introduction: Auricular reconstruction of partial ear defects is usually challenging, especially in extended resections or traumas. Helical rim is the most noticeable part of ear with aesthetic significance, which demands detailed procedures. Helical rim advancement is a known procedure to reshape lacerated rim. In the original technique, a chondrocutaneous flap is raised in order to preserve the posterior skin and consequently, the blood supply.
Case Report: Due to auricle’s rich blood supply, we selected an inferiorly based flap of helical rim, which we incised completely, even the posterior skin, in order to advance the flap more freely to the cephalic side and relaxed cephalically. In five patients with helix tumors, this reconstructive procedure was done without threatening the blood supply and flap ischemia. Moreover, posterior skin traction or subsequent deformity, as one of concerns of reconstructive surgeons, were also eradicated.
Conclusion: It appears that this modification can be noteworthy in auricular reconstruction.
