Unusual Clinical Presentation of Cutaneous Angiosarcoma Masquerading as Eczema: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

An unusual case of cutaneous angiosarcoma clinically mimicking eczema is described. A 98-year-old Caucasian male presented with a 6-month history of a flesh-colored, subcutaneous nodule on his left forehead with contralateral facial erythema and scaling that had been previously diagnosed as eczema. Despite treatments with topical steroids and moisturizers, the condition did not resolve. At our clinic, excisional biopsy of the forehead lesion and scouting biopsies from the contralateral cheek were performed which revealed cutaneous angiosarcoma. The described case illustrates that dermatitis-like features should be considered as a rare clinical manifestation of cutaneous angiosarcoma. It also demonstrates that these lesions may respond well to radiotherapy as a single modality

A feasibility study on children\u27s pajamas

For three decades now, the scenario in the garments industry is very favorable. It has been a major foreign exchange earner for many years now. In the local scene, there is a mushrooming of kids\u27 boutiques around the metropolis. Hence, the proponents became interested to enter the children\u27s garments sector, particularly children\u27s pajamas. This study is being undertaken to determine the feasibility of manufacturing and marketing children\u27s pajamas. The objective of the study is to determine the marketability, technical process, management and legal considerations, the financial constraints and the socio-economic benefits derived from going into the manufacture of children\u27s pajamas. A sample of the target market of married women, aged 20 to 49, belonging to class A or B residing in Manila or in Quezon City were studied. A survey conducted revealed that there is a sizable market for the proponents. A 17.52% market share was arrived at through computations using results from the survey and from a time and motion study undertaken by the proponents. The raw materials for the pajamas are Gentex-cotton cloth, translucent buttons, satin bias tape and label. There will be three different sizes of pajamas to be offered-small, medium and large. The most appropriate manufacturing process to be adopted is the assembly-line method. The minimum production capacity of the proponents is 16 units of pajamas a week. Their break-even sales volume is 219 units. The average production cost including the fixed cost per unit totaled to P 131.90 and the selling price would be P 175.00. The form of ownership of the proponents would be a corporation. Their corporate name is Chiquillo Corporation which will have a capital of P 13,500. The general administrative program will serve as the guide on how the business will be conducted. The project timetable will ensure that specific tasks or activities are accomplish strictly within certain time limits to facilitate efficiency in the operation of the business. The projected return on investment of Chiquillo Corporation is 75.41% and the net profit margin is 29.62%. From the operation of Chiquillo Corporation, both shareholders and stakeholders. Stakeholders such as suppliers, customers and society will benefit through the taxes paid by the corporation, utilization of local raw materials and the manufacturing of good quality pajamas. It is, therefore, feasible to produce and sell children\u27s pajamas to the target market because it is profitable. The existence of a demand for the product and market share for the proponents further strengthens this conclusion

Depression in people with epilepsy: How much do Asian colleagues acknowledge it?

•Depression is highly prevalent in PWE in different countries in Asia.•Prevalence rates are consistent with rates reported in the literature: 25% of PWE suffer from depression.•In Asian countries, depression is often under-recognized and improperly managed in PWE.•High quality data is scarce and validated screening tools are still lacking in many languages. The purpose of this review was to investigate the prevalence of depression in people with epilepsy (PWE) in different countries in Asia. We searched the electronic database PubMed on June 13, 2017 for articles in English that included the following search terms: “epilepsy” AND “depression” AND “country name” for all Asian countries since 1947. Relevant original studies from Asia were included if they reported the prevalence of depression in PWE. Papers studying special populations (e.g., elderly, veterans, etc.) were not included. In addition, experts in epilepsy field were invited from some Asian countries for an in-depth assessment. Six hundred eighty-seven papers were reviewed and 26 related studies were included in this study. Depression is highly prevalent in PWE in different countries in Asia and the prevalence rates are consistent with rates reported in the literature from other countries: overall, about 25% of PWE suffer from depression. In Asian countries, as elsewhere, depression is common in PWE. High quality data is scarce in many countries and validated screening tools [e.g., Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDI-E)] to appropriately investigate the prevalence of depression in PWE are still lacking in many languages. Considering the high prevalence of depression among PWE, routine and periodic screening of all PWE for early detection and appropriate management of depression would be a reasonable approach
