Abstract	Pachydermodactyly is a rare and benign disease that may be idiopathic, genetic, acquired as a response to repetitive trauma, or associated with several other acquired conditions often pushing the health caregiver to do a bunch of costly lab tests and diagnostic workups to rule out other entities. All health care givers must be aware about this disease for reassure the patients and cut unnecessary costs. Moreover, there seems to be an issue of association with certain occupations. A good example might be computer keyboards causing special damages to certain organs like eyes and musculoskeletal system. We have observed deleterious effects of excess work with computer keyboards on fingers in the form of Pachydermodactyly in our case. A 27-yr-old man presented with wider hand span and longer fingers to Dermatology Clinic of Rasoul-E-Akram Hospital in June 2015, especially the ring finger in our case, considered a big symptom who depressed due to their fingers appearance as a rare disease. We gave him an emollient to make his hand smoother. The patient improved both clinically and psychologically on a simple emollient. This disease with its deleterious psychological effects and a simple way of management should be appreciated more by the health care system.

Abstract	Background: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as a complementary step of selective removal of dental caries appears as an ideal choice to help manage caries with minimal interventions. Sub-lethal dose of aPDT (sPDT) impressively effects microbial virulence, although it does not kill microorganisms. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the influence of sPDT using diode laser plus chlorophyllin-phycocyanin mixture (PhotoActive Materials and methods: sPDT using PhotoActive Results: In this study, sPDT using 2.4 × 10 Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potential effect of PhotoActive

Abstract	We present a case of neutrophilic dermatosis of dorsal hands (NDDH), with lesions on the dorsal part of the hands with pustular features and histologic picture of vasculitis.This case highlights the notion that low dose oral steroid can offer a useful first therapeutic option for NDDH. Interstingly, in this case, a few additional lesions were located on the legs, making it different from some previously described cases of NDDH. As with other authors, we believe that this recently described neutrophilic dermatosis is a localized and acral variant of SS. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of NDDH from Iran.

Abstract	Background: Alopecia areata is a chronic inflammatory disorder that causes nonscarring hair loss. The cause is unknown, but an interaction between autoimmune and psychological factors may trigger the disease. Sleep deprivation is associated with a variety of adverse consequences including the effects on both psychological and physical health. Sleep deprivation can adversely affect immune function and exacerbate autoimmunity. Poor sleep quality is also associated with stress. Method: A case control study was conducted on 92 patients divided into two groups of 46, those diagnosed with alopecia areata and a healthy population. The demographic information of both groups was gathered with a questionnaire and the sleep quality was evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a self-rated questionnaire that assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. SPSS16 was used to analyze the data. P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Findings: 45.7% of patients with alopecia areata and 21.7% of the control group had sleep disorders. The difference between these percentages was significant (P < 0.05). There was not any significant difference in the scores of PSQI between the two groups (mean score = 5.37 and 4.04 in alopecia areata and control groups, respectively). The mean night sleep hours in patients with alopecia areata (6.73 hours) was significantly lower than the normal population (7.76 hours). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the poor sleep quality is more common among patients with alopecia areata compared to the normal population; but the difference of the severity of sleep disturbances between the two groups was not statistically significant.

Abstract	This study investigates the effectiveness of the reduction policies of the apparent and real losses of non-revenue water. For this purpose, using technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) model, a decision matrix is proposed, involving apparent and real losses risk reduction values induced by the implementation of each non-revenue water reduction policy. First, decision criteria, including technical, economic, and social criteria, were selected and introduced. Then, the technical criterion was calculated using a fuzzy Bayesian model. In the following, using group decision-making and analytic hierarchy process method, the criteria were weighted. In the next step, the bests of decision criteria were determined by the TOPSIS method. This method was applied in the water distribution network of district 4 of Tehran, Iran. The results indicated that the most basic non-revenue water reduction policy by risk-based group decision-making is to identify unauthorized connections in the apparent water loss sector and increase the speed and quality of maintenance and repairs in the real water loss sector.

Abstract	Background: One of the main goals of the health system is the fair contribution of people to healthcare financing. Therefore, the current study not only evaluated the status of fair financial contribution, but also investigated the impacts of the health reform plan on the financial pillars of the Iranian healthcare system. Methods: To conduct this retrospective descriptive study, the data of Income and Expenditure Survey (2011-2015) commissioned by Statistical Center of Iran were used. To measure fairness of financing, four indices were used. Data were analyzed using the Excel and SPSS software. Results: The results show that although the health reform plan has increased insurance coverage of both rural and urban households, out of pocket, and even its proportion to household capacity to pay continues to rise. Prevalence of catastrophic health expenditures in the baseline year in rural and urban areas was 2.19% and 1.04%, reaching 3.69% and 2.39% at the end of the study, respectively. Accordingly, fair financial contribution in rural and urban areas was obtained 0.830% and 0.850% in the baseline year, reaching 0.823% and 0.850% in the last year of the study, respectively. Conclusion: Although indices of fair financial contribution during the 5-year period varied, they ultimately showed a worse situation compared to the baseline year. Thus, it is assumed that the health reform plan has not yet been successful in meeting the goal of improving fair financial contribution to the health system.

Abstract	Background: Alopecia areata is a recurrent inflammatory disorder causes non-scarring hair loss. The condition most commonly presents with discrete patches of alopecia on the scalp but can include total loss of scalp or body hair. While occurring in men and women of all ages and races, onset most frequently occurs in young people. Psychosomatic changes caused by this disease can lead to psychological long-term problems such as anxiety and depression. Personality disorders can alter clinical presentation of the disease. This study sought to determine the correlation of personality disorders with the occurrence of alopecia areata. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in 84 patients divided in two groups of patients diagnosed with alopecia areata and the normal population. The demographic information of both groups was gathered with a questionnaire and the personality disorder was evaluated with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III). Findings: Patients with alopecia areata tended to have statistically more personality disorders compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Personality disorders among women were more common compared with men (0.27 vs. 0.05). The difference was significant in women compared with control group (P < 0.05), but was not statistically significant between the two groups of men (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the significant role of adolescence in society and the correlation between personality disorder and alopecia areata, we recommend psychiatric counseling, clinical evaluation, psychological diagnosis and treatment along with the other treatments.

Abstract	Becker's nevus is a relatively common cutaneous hamartoma, but is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. This nevus usually begins during the second decade of life as a circumscribed, hyperpigmented patch with irregular outline that gradually enlarges with associated hypertrichosis, developing several years later. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of lesional hypertrichosis associated with Becker's nevus. Methods. 47 patients who had sharply demarcated brown patch with or without coarse hair, presence or enlargement of the lesion at the time of puberty, and compatible Wood's light examination were enrolled. Patients who had axillary freckling, previous skin inflammation, and gray pigmentation of the lesions were excluded. Results. In summary, the mean age of onset was 11.89 (range 0-19). The most commonly involved site was the arm (34%), followed by shoulder (23.4%), chest, face, flank, buttock, and leg. Lesional hypertrichosis was found in only 8 (17%) of the 47 patients. In 29 cases (61.7%) the lesions were in the right side of the body. Conclusion. Hypertrichosis was not so frequent among patients with Becker's nevus. There was a higher preponderance of the lesions on the right side.
