Abstract
Background and Aim: High consumption of cosmetic products may result in several health problems. Cosmetics use among Iranian girls and women is common, so identifying factors affecting cosmetic use seems necessary. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and reasons for cosmetic products use among female university students.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 540 female university students of Hamedan universities, which were recruited according to a random sampling method. The data gathering tool was a self-reporting questionnaire.
Results: Lipstick (62.2%), mascara (50.9%) and liner (43.3%), were the most commonly used products among students. Feeling beautiful and improved self-confidence were the most common reasons for using cosmetic products.
Conclusion: Considering the findings of this study, it seems that providing educational programs for promotion of self-esteem can be beneficial for preventing unnecessary cosmetic use.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease
that typically affects the skin and peripheral nerves and can cause
irreversible disabilities. The objective of this study was to assess the status
of disability caused by leprosy in the Golestan Province in Iran.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study,
patients affected with leprosy whom were referred to Health Network in Golestan
Province from April 1971 to September 2008 were studied. Sampling method was simple
census method. Data collected from the medical records of patients were
statistically described and analyzed.
Results: In this 38-year period, from 100 leprosy patients
investigated, 68% were men. Average age was 35.6±16.4 years. The majority of cases were in rural areas
(78%) and mostly were labor jobs (39%). Clinical type of the disease was multibacillary
(MB) in 64% cases. 62% of patients had MDT treatment. The majority of lesions
in patients were macules (15%). Performance problem were positive in 6 percent
and was negative or uncertain in others. Disability was more common in male
patients, and most disable patients were 35-55 years old.
Conlusion: Most leprosy patients in Golestan Province had
grade 0 or 1 disability.

Abstract
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in humans worldwide. It is also the most common cancer in Iran. To achieve primary prevention in skin cancers, avoidance of direct sun exposure is recommended. Sunscreen use is one of the methods to reduce sun exposure. However, while using sunscreens has increased recently, the incidence rate of skin cancers has also increased. One of the reasons for observing this paradox may be caused by counterfit sunscreen products, in particular in Iran. The author imagines that this letter may result in proper decision making among health policy makers to tackle this problem.

Background and Aim: Skin
cancer is the most common cancer in the world, which is associated with
mortality, mortality and health care costs. Planning prevention and control
of this cancer, information about its incidence rates and incidence trends is
necessary. The present study aimed to determine the incidence rates and
trends of skin cancer in Tehran.
Methods: In this
cross-sectional study, necessary data were extracted from the Cancer
Registry, Ministry of Health and Medical Education between 2003 and 2008. Age
- and sex -standardized incidence rates were calculated and the incidence
rate trends were determined.
Results: Between 2003 and
2008, 7429 skin cancer cases were recorded, of which 4807 were men and 2622
were women. Skin cancer incidence had an increasing trend in Tehran and its
incidence rate has increased from 8.99 in women and 11.52 in men in 2003 to
18.03 in women and 28.16 in men in 2008, respectively. In addition, incidence
of skin cancer was increased with aging in both men and women. The incidence
rate was higher in men than women.
Conclusion: Skin cancer
incidence in Tehran is increasing, which could be due to population aging,
environmental risk factors, and changes in life style. More comprehensive
research is suggested to investigate the risk factors for this cancer in
Tehran.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the Iran. The first step in planning for the prevention and treatment of cancers is collecting information about their incidence and trends. The present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of skin cancer and its trend in southern Iran.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing the existing data obtained from the National Cancer Registry System in Iran. The data included all records of skin cancer cases in southern Iran. Then, the incidence rates were standardized using direct method. The data were demonstrated in frequency tables and Cochrane-Armitage test for linear trend was used for evaluation of the incidence trend.
Results: Skin cancer had a high incidence in the southern provinces of Iran. A total of 6230 cases of skin cancer during 6 years (2003-2008) were recorded in those provinces and the incidence rate of skin cancer was increasing (P=0.001). In all years of the study, skin cancer incidence was higher in males than women. In terms of frequency, Fars, Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces had the highest age-standardized incidence.
Conclusion: Considering the high incidence of skin cancer and its relationship to sun exposure, educating people on the correct sun protection, educating and empowering physicians and the people about early detection of skin cancers seems to be important in preventing its increasing trend.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate various aspects of the treatment in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran in the first half of 2014.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on the existing data of 3684 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis, whom were registered at the Disease Management Center of the Iranian Ministry of Health in the first half of 2014. Version 11 of Stata was used for statistical analysis and the level of significance was considered equals to 0.05.
Results: Of 3684 patients entered into the study (%55.1) were male and the mean age of the patients was 27±18 years. More than 34% of patients were treated with intralesional injections of meglumine antimoniate (MA) and 25% of patients recieved systemic MA injections. There were statistically significant correlations between the size and number of the lesions and the chosen treatment regimen (P<0.001). Thirty-five percent of patients treated with systemic MA between 7 to 10 days and 43.3% of patients recieved intralesional MA injections for 5 to 8 weeks.
Conclusion: More than %99 of patients fully recovered without complication or treatment failure. It seems that Iranian patients suffered milder CL in comparison with some other coutries.

Abstract
Introduction: Chondroidsyringoma or apocrine mixed tumor is a benign skin tumor that usually manifests as a nodular lesion with slow growth and no symptoms in the head and neck area, and based on histologicalcharacteristics, it can be apocrine or eccrine. Tumor diagnosis is based on clinical features and histopathology and its treatment is surgical removal of the lesion.
Case report: In this study, we report a case of apocrine chondroidsyringoma in a 33-year-old man who presented with a complaint of an asymptomatic nodular lesion in the area above the upper lip, and after biopsy and histopathological examination, the diagnosis of apocrine chondroidsyringoma was made.
Conclusion: Chondroidsyringoma does not have a specific clinical manifestation and its diagnosis is challenging and is based on attention to histological features in addition to clinical manifestations. This tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis for subcutaneous nodules, especially in the head and neck area.
