Abstract
Background and Aim: There are some reports regading the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect of honey and Nigella sativa and their therapeutic effects in improvement of wound healing. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of adding honey and Nigella sativa extract compared to honey alone in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis receiving intralesional Glucantime.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 150 patients with confirmed cutaneous leishmaniasis were randomly allocated into two groups. One group was treated with topical honey twice daily along with weekly intralesional injection of Glucantime. In the second group, patients were treated with topical honey and 60 % hydroalchoholic Nigella sativa extract instead of honey alone. The patients were treated until complete healing of the ulcer or for maximum of 12 weeks.
Results: At 12 weeks, complete cure was achieved in 61 (81.3%) of patients treated with topical honey and 60 % hydroalchoholic Nigella sativa extract versus 48 (64%) in the second group (P=0.002).
Conclusion: The efficacy of adjunct honey and Nigella sativa extract along with intralesional Glucantime is more than honey alone in increasing complete cure rate and decreasing the residual scar size and the required dose of Glucantime.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Androgenetic alopecia is an extremely common disorder affecting both men and women. The incidence is generally considered to be greater in males than females, although some evidence suggests that the apparent differences in incidence may be a reflection of different expression in males and females. This genetically determined disorder is progressive through the gradual conversion of terminal hairs into indeterminate hairs and finally to vellus hairs. Patients have a reduction in the terminal-to-vellus hair ratio, normally at least 2:1. Following miniaturization of the follicles, fibrous tracts remain. Patients with this disorder usually have a typical distribution of hair loss.
Methods: This is a cross sectional study that conducted in Isfahan health center in 2007-2008 .Using simple random sampling, we selected 1800 women in urban health center areas for hair loss. We evaluated the type of hair loss by Ludwig classification. The data was collected through administration of a specifically designed questionnaire and was analyzed using SPSS software. The chi-square and student tests were used for data analysis.
Results: According to results of this study the of 1800 women, 712 (39.6%) had hair loss. Mean age of females who had hair loss was 50.4±13 years.
Conclusion: Thyroid disorders, ferritin serum level and androgenic hormones may play role in hair loss and their existance should be assessed.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Pruritus is a major symptom of dermatologic
diseases and a common symptom of systemic diseases. Severity of itch cannot be
measured objectively. It’s usually determined to using a Visual Analogue Scale
(VAS). But none of them can determine the effect of pruritus on patients'
quality of life. So in the present study we sought to translate and develop a
validated reliable Farsi version of pruritus specific quality of life
instrument, ItchyQoL.
Methods: ItchyQoL questionnaire was translated to Farsi by
two bilingual people, and then it was back-translated to English by two other
bilinguals. These two questionnaires were matched and revised and the final
Farsi questionnaire was established. Forty four patients with dermatologic
pruritus filled the questionnaire at the baseline and 72 hours later, and the
structural reliability and validity of it was analyzed.
Results: The questionnaire had internal consistency and
reproducibility. The questionnaire reliability was also analyzed by test-retest
which was significant. Construct validity was analyzed by examining the
relationship between intensity and frequency of itching with the total score in
the three main axis symptoms, which was significant in all except the
dysfunction axis.
Conclusion: The Farsi version of ItchyQoL questionnaire has favorable reliability and validity.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The present world is a world of short-sectional relationships, most people identify themselves by acknowledging their appearance instead of considering their inherited or acquired different characteristics. In this study, we decided to compare the body image between patients with skin diseases and healthy participants.
Methods: In this case-control study, 300 (150 cases and 150 controls) individuals aged from 18 to 64 years were selected in the Isfahan city. Satisfaction with body image and feelings of respondents regarding their apparent looks in different situations and different conditions were investigated using an a researcher-constructed questionnaire. To analyze the collected data, we used the analysis of covariance and compared the means.
Results: Single, younger, and less educated women had body image scores higher and more positive look to their bodies. Healthy people had higher score of body image than the patients with skin diseases. There was no significant relationship between gender and body image scores.
Conclusion: Skin diseases had an important role in body image. So we suggest that the effect of other diseases, that somehow affect the appearance of people on body image, be examined deeply for each disease.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC), including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in Iran. This study aimed to infer implicit information in the cases of NMSC patients referred to the Cancer Institute of Tehran.
Methods: A number of 865 cases of NMSC related to 2007-2015 years were selected from the archives of Cancer Institute using simple random sampling method. Initially, epidemiological variables, were extracted and after preprocessing of the data, descriptive statistics were used to classify and graphic display of information.
Results: The mean age for patients was identified 65 years and the highest and lowest numbers of cases were in age groups of 69-60 and 19-10 years respectively. The incidence of SCC was higher than BCC in the first four age decades and this trend was reversed in the next decades. About 56% of cases were BCC and 44% were SCC and frequency of NMSC in men was 2/33 times more than women. The head/neck and trunk were the highest and lowest involved positions. The disease had relapsed at least twice in 32% of cases. The disease history showed that most of patients were previously affected by kinds of cancers, cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. The occupation of 114 patients was found to be as high-risk jobs. Most patients were referred to Cancer Institute from northern and western parts of the country.
Conclusion: Along with other studies, we found more cases of BCC than SCC, involvement of patients over 60 years at the head-neck and a previous history of cancer. But against other studies, SCC cases was found more in the first four decades of life than BCC cases, feet affected twice than hands and the locality of most cases was found in high latitudes. Patient records are potential resources that can help management of the diseases.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Psoriasis is a systemic and non-transmissible chronic inflammatory autoimmune skin disease that about 2-3% of Iranians suffer from it. Cost of management and budgeting and planning for the treatment of patients with psoriasis requires accurate information. The present study estimates the direct and indirect costs for one-year treatment of patients admitted in Razi Dermatology Hospital.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, treatment costs of 170 patients with psoriasis, including direct (medical and non-medical) and indirect costs were evaluated by census method and using a researcher-made checklist, from October 2017 to October 2018. The fee was collected through reviewing patients' bills in the hospital information system and through telephone interviews with patients.
Results: The average cost of one year was 9037480 Tomans ($ 758), of which direct cost of treatment was 90.22% (8178681 Tomans) and indirect cost of treatment was 9.78% (858799 Tomans). The highest cost of treatment was related to pharmaceutical services with 5825233 Tomans. Also, the total direct medical cost was equal to 7069890 Tomans, of which 62% was the insurance share and 38% was the patient share. The findings showed that injecting biological drugs and accommodation had a significant effect on the direct cost of treatment. Supplementary insurance and accommodation variables also affect out-of-pocket costs.
Conclusion: Drugs made up most of the costs. The high price of biologics and the low coverage of these drugs by insurance companies have caused many economic problems for these patients. According to the findings of this study, it seems necessary to review the more complete insurance coverage of these drugs as well as the use of charitable assistance to cover part of the cost for treatment.
