Abstract
HIE is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent staphylococcal abscesses and markedly elevated serum IgE concentrations. These abcesses involve the skin, lungs, joints, and other sites, and there is a unique tendency to form pneumatoceles following staphylococcal pneumonias. Although, there is as yet no clearly defined immunologic cause for this rare syndrome, but some form of T-Cell defect may be cause, leading to matkedly elevation of IgE and eosinophillia. In this study clinical and immunopathological aspects of HIE syndrome in 11 patients have been evaluated

Abstract
As the effectively transportation of injured patients is one of the most important concerns in developed countries, we tried to evaluate the patients transportation to Sina hospital trauma center in this regard. During an eighty-day period, 200 injured patients were transported to Sina hospital with intravenous cannula inserted only in 17.5 percent and fracture fixation was accomplished in only 8.5 percent of patients. We coucluded that the transportation quality was rather poor and more attention should be paid to this social problem

Abstract
Intestinal obstruction is a significant disease specially in patients with previous surgery. Patients symptoms and signs usually are abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distention and obstipation. Adhesion bands secondary to previous abdominal surgery is the most common cause of small bowel obstruction and in USA up to 70% of small bowel obstruction is caused by adhesions. In our study adhesion is also the most common cause but 23% of patients have obstruction secondary to adhesion. In the literature colorectal cancers are the most common cause of colonic obstruction and volvulus is the third common cause of colonic obstruction after obstruction from compressive effect of other primary abdominal or pelvic tumors. In our study vuvulus was the most common cause of colonic obstruction and colorectal cancer was the second most common cause. The most common previous surgery that lead to obstruction in our study was appendectomy. From 112 patients 75% of patients had complete and 25% had partial obstruction. Frequency of mortality was six from 112 patients or 5.3%. Seventy percent of our patients had small bowel obstruction and 30% had colonic obstruction. Patients with hypertension before surgery for obstruction had greater risk of mortality in the postoperative period than other patients. Patients with intestinal gangrene had greater risk of postoperative complication and morbidity than other patients.
