Objective: Employment is important for patients with chronic illness, and to remain employed is a robust support to them. This study aimed to examine the employment rate and to identify factors associated with employment among multiple sclerosis (MS) in Hong Kong. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed from 2010 to 2011 at five major public hospitals. Fifty-nine clinical definite MS patients with no evidence of dementia (Mini-Mental State Examination ≥ 22) were recruited. Demographic data and neuropsychological test results including memory, visual perception, psychological well-being, motor, executive domain and processing speed were collected. Principal component analysis and logistic regression with multiple imputation were used in data analyses. Results: The employment rate among MS patients was 56%. Patients with better cognitive functions were more likely to be employed (p=0.002). No significant association was found between employment status and age, gender, level of education, types of MS, disease duration, frequency of relapse or use of interferon. Conclusion: MS patients had high unemployment rate (44%) which was 11.5 times higher than the general population in Hong Kong. MS patients with better cognitive functions had higher employment rates.

There is variable prevalence of multiple sclerosis, higher in those residing in latitude away from the equator, and among the Caucasian population. Multiple sclerosis has not been reported in some countries, partly related to access to modern medicine. Although multiple sclerosis has been reported among the Somali diaspora, it has not been reported among the residents in Somalia. We report an adult Somali woman who has relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis for 8 years, affecting the optic nerves, cerebellum and spinal cord.

The study carries on 30 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by embolism liver artery by thrombosis. Following clinical and laboratory on form includes: anamnesis, medical history, symptom and entity, immune, biochemical, endoscope. The result relies on scale of child-pugh A/B/C = 8/18/4. The result of hemostatic: good 73.3%, failed 26.6%. Association between the result of treatment and esophageal varices: the rate death of patients with esophageal varices 3 degree is 87.3%. Sign of clinical and paraclinical of hepatocellular carcinoma complicating liver cirrhosis and bleeding due to rupture of esophageal vein is also grave stage of disease. The effect hemostatic of esophageal varices knot using knot method on hepatocellular carcinoma is 73.3%. The death rate associated to varix level and red mark of esophageal vein

10 patients (6 females, 4 males) with adenoma sebaceum in tuberous sclerosis were treated by CO2 laser in Military Central Hospital 108 during period 1995 - 1998. The outcomes of treatment were excellent with almost complete resolution of all facial lesions without scar or recurrence over average 32-month following. The laser procedure provided high precision and efficiency without bleeding.
