The differential diagnosis of long-lasting erythematous skin nodules in patients living in Africa is broad. We report a clinical case of a 65-year-old Caucasian male, living in a Southern African Country, presenting to our department with an eight- -month history of erythematous skin nodules on the trunk and limbs. The diagnosis was B-pseudolymphoma and we discuss its aetiology and differential diagnosis.

We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with a history of Multiple Myeloma, who evolves with periorbital inflammation of both eyelids, bilateral, yellowish-violet, ulcerated and painless. The differential diagnosis with the adult orbital xanthogranulomatous diseases was raised, especially XN due to its association with MM. When performing a biopsy of the lesion, fragmentation of dermal collagen bundles and around vessels a pale eosinophilic acellular material, positive congo red and apple-green color with polarized light are observed in the histology, reaching the diagnosis of Amyloidosis and Orbital Xantogranuloma of the Adult.

Cherubism is described as a rare and benign hereditary bone disease, characterized by a bilateral volumetric increase in the maxillary bones, with a greater predilection for males in childhood. Clinically, it presents as a volumetric enlargement of the mandible and, maxilla, which is generally painless, firm on palpation and varies in relation to size and extension. Its differential diagnosis is the Brown Tumor of Hyperparathyroidism and the Central Lesion of Giant Cells. The diagnosis is based on the assessment of clinical characteristics together with complementary exams. The objective of this study was to carry out a brief review of the literature and report a clinical case of this pathology in a 9-year-old child with a family history of cherubism, assessed through imaging, histopathological and karyotype exams, which continues to be assisted by the oral and maxilofacial surgery team of the Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba - FOA Unesp since the treatment of the cherubism still does not have a definitive protocol.

Reviewing how the legacy of Namibia's armed conflict has influenced its path of post-conflict reconstruction, the article reflects on the limitations and failures of efforts geared toward the fostering of sustainable peace and the consolidation of democracy. It begins with a short history of the Namibian conflict, then details the immediate post- independence period, focusing on peacebuilding and democratic consolidation (or the lack thereof), and concludes by considering the militaristic dimensions of governance and nation-building in Namibia, emphasizing the links between the legacy of armed violence and contemporary life and politics in this southern African country.

Patient’S History

A 76-year-old Caucasian male with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, pulmonary embolism on warfarin, and a previous amputation of his left partial ring and fifth finger presented with acute onset of rash in bilateral lower extremities. He was recently started on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole due to concern for cellulitis. Differential diagnosis for acute-onset rash with the patient’s history presented as a challenge to the internist, as the differential is broad. Our case goes through the differential diagnosis to contrast the different presentations of rash in a patient with vasculitis. Ultimately skin biopsy in conjunction with a past positive cryoglobulinemic level helped confirm the diagnosis of cutaneous vasculitis, following which he was started on appropriate treatment and recovered.

IntroductionOften find it difficult diagnostic approach to patients with symptoms that could correspond to several clinical entities. This requires making a correct differential diagnosis to enable a better understanding and addressing the disease in an individualized way.ObjectiveDescribe pathogenetic factors of paranoid schizophrenia highlighting their relationship with drug consumption.MethodsReview of the clinical history of a patient admitted to acute ward of the Hospital General Universitario of Valencia.ResultsA case of a 30-year-old man, whose income is motivated by persistent and structured autolytic ideation occurs. It presents positive symptoms for several years and amotivational syndrome ago. It has a history of cannabis, cocaine and alcohol since he was thirteen and remains abstinent for more than six months ago. Differential diagnosis arises between amotivational toxic syndrome, reactive depressive symptoms to the disease and negative symptoms for chronic psychotic process. Finally diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and is included in the program of first psychotic episodes.Today the productive symptoms disappeared and remain negative though with less intensity achieving an improvement in overall activity.ConclusionsConsumption of toxic influences the development of a chronic psychotic process that may appear years later, becoming a etiological and maintainer factor, not only if its consumption continue, but other effects that occur long term amotivational syndrome and worsening prognosis.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are very rare, and only a few cases from esophageal cancer have been reported. We describe the case of a 61-year-old patient with recently diagnosed esophageal adenocarcinoma who presented with multiple skin nodules. Immunohistochemical analysis of the nodules matched the immunohistochemical profile of the patient’s previous esophageal biopsy specimen confirming the diagnosis of cutaneous metastases. This case highlights the importance of including cutaneous metastases in the differential diagnosis of any suspicious lesion in patients with a history of internal malignancy.

Worthy of celebration is the contribution made by Itumeleng Mosala (hereafter Mosala) to the Black Methodist Consultation, the theological community in Southern Africa, and the Black Consciousness Movement. This article attempts to give theology its world, feet and hands in the person of Mosala. The article departs from the narration of the history of Mosala. It locates Mosala within township life and Old Testament scholarship. Furthermore, the article searches for suitable and effective weapons of intellectual struggle in light of Mosala’s life. The aim of this article is to celebrate the indelible footprints that Mosala made as he communed with black people.

Background: Ascites is one of the most important clinical syndromes, caused by multiple organ disorders, characterized by abdominal distension with accumulation of fluid of various colors and consistencies depending on the etiology that are encountered commonly in canine practice worldwide. Although it has been reported from different countries including India but it has not yet been documented from Bangladesh. Objectives: To evaluate the successful therapeutic management of a clinical case of ascites in dog supported with its brief review for its appropriate application Materials and Methods: A female Spitz dog two and half years old brought for treatment with the history of abdominal distension on 1st November 2009. Clinical examination, abdominocentesis and laboratory examination of ascitic fluid were used for the diagnosis of ascites in dog. Results: Clinical examination revealed dyspnea, discomfort, lethargy, weakness, pale mucous membrane, normal rectal temperature 103.2 0F and distended abdomen with fluid thrill on palpation. Examination of ascitic fluid revealed clear white fluid (pure transudate) which is mainly hepatic origin resulting portal hypertension and hypoproteinaemia. Treatment with restricted sodium diet, antibiotic (amoxicillin), diuretic (furosemide; Lasix, Sanofi Aventis) and vitamin B-complex and C- vitamin supplement with regular monitoring assisted in successful recovery. The recovered dog survived for next five years up to 2014 and then died due to other reasons. Conclusions: This clinical case record on canine ascites with successful treatment along with review especially on the methods of diagnosis and cause-wise treatment would certainly help the clinician for proper management of the clinical cases of canine ascites.
