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: Cosmetic surgeries have been very common and popular in recent decades. Personality traits and mental health could affect people`s motivations of doing cosmetic surgery as a psychological pattern. The aim of this study was to compare maladaptive personality traits and mental health between cosmetic surgery applicants and control group.
Methods: In this descriptive-comparative study, 45 applicants for rhinoplasty and filler injections, who were selected by available sampling method, answered to DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure and the personality inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). Forty five nonapplicants matched with applicants with age, sex and education were also included as a control group . They answered to the same questionnaires too. The data were analyzed by "multivariate analysis of variance" (MANOVA).
Results: Rhinoplasty applicants were not significantly different from nonapplicants neither in maladaptive personality traits nor mental health. But applicants for gel injections were significantly different from control group in detachment (mean differences = - 0.36, P<0.05) , depression
(-0.91, P<0.01), Psychosis (-0.44, P<0.05) and substance abuse (-0.57, P<0.05).
Conclusion: Plastic surgeons and cosmetic professionals must reconsider applicant`s personality and mental health. Comprehensive psychological assessments must be done, specially for gel injection applicants before any action for surgery.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Schema modes include specific schemata and coping styles which are activated in emotional situations. They create formation of behavioral patterns compatible with their own schemata. The purpose of this study was to predict the quality of life in vitiligo patients according to their schema modes.
Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study,170 vitiligo patients were selected by simple random sampling method. They filled Schema Modes Inventory and brief form of the World Health Organization`s Quality of Life questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression.
Results: The results of the analysis of the Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that quality of life was related to all schema modes except detached self-soother mode. Happy child and healthy adult schema modes had a significant positive relationship with quality of life, while the other schema modes (except detached self-soother) had a significant negative relationship with quality of life in vitiligo patients. Also, the results of stepwise regression showed that vulnerable child, detached protector, compliant surrender and happy child schema modes had the strongest effect in predicting the quality of life, respectively.
Conclusion: Regarding the importance of the role of schema modes in quality of life in vitiligo patients, offering psychotherapies such as schema therapy seems necessary.

Abstract
Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte molds and yeasts. The nail involvement is a feature of psoriasis, although skin manifestations are the most principal findings in psoriasis. Onychomycosis and psoriasis are both common disorders in communities. It is possible that in some patients these two diseases are present at the same time. A review was performed using the keywords including nail psoriasis, onychomycoses, dermatophytes, non-dermatophyte molds and yeasts in valid medical databases, such as PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus and Science direct. Articles that were most relevant to the purpose of the study were selected and studied. We investigated the incidence and pathogenic function of fungal agents in causing fungal infections in psoriasis nails.
