BACKGROUND: Tinea faciale usually has been classified as tinea corgoris. Recently it has often been classified as a seperate disease recently because of its various clinicel pesentations. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and mycological findings of tinea faciale, METHODS: Clinieal and mycological study was done with 42 eases of tinea faciale among out-patients examined for eight years from January 1985 to December 1992 at Yeungnam University Hospital, Taegu, Korea. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: 1. The average of annual distribution of patients was five and there a as no significant difference according to year. The age distribution of patients was highest under age 10(33.4%). The ratio of male to female patient was 3.1: 1. Monthly or seasonal distribution if patients was not significantly different. 2. Of 42 cases, causative organisms were isolated in 31 cases. They are Trichophyton(T.) rubrum in 19 cases (61.3%), Microsporum(M.) canis in 6 cases (19.4%), T. mentcgrophytes in 5 cases (16.1%) and M. gypseum in 1 case(3.7%) in tbe order of decreasing frequncd M. canis was the main causative organisrn in children under age 10. In the age group after 10, T. rubrum was predominated. T. rubrum infection was most frequently seen in spring, T. mentagrphates infection was seen more in winter and M. canis infectior in autumn. 3. Classic annular types were seen most frequently in the cases caused by T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. Papular types were seen most commonly in the case caused by M. canis. Multiple facial lesions were seen in T. rubrum infection (2 cases) and Of canis infection (1 case). Tinea faciale simulated several other dermatoses. These were contact, dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, photosensitive dermatosis, rosacea, granuloma annulare and acne. Of these, tinea faciale simulated contact dermatitis most frequently. Coexisting fungal infections were found in 7 patients and tinea corporis was most frequently present. Topical antifungsl agent was tried alone in 22 cases, and topical and systemic antifungal agent were combined in 20 cases.

We have experienced two cases of the intramedullary ependymomas in the cervicothoracic and thoracolumbar spinal cord. The myelographic studies showed complete block or fusiform filling defect of the dye and they were treated by total laminectomy with excision of the tumor mass. The histological studies verified them ependymomas and the patients have shown good improvement of the neurological defecits in postoperative period.

The blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome(CRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by distinctive vascular malformations of the skin and gastrointestinal tract. The syndrome is associated commonly with iron deficiency anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Most cases are sporadic, although a few have been reported with autosomal dominant inheritance. We report a case with clinical characteristics of the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome. The patient had typical skin manifestations of the BRBNS and chronic iron deficiency anemia. However, we could not find any gastrointestinal vascular malformations radiologically.

10.Nonpharmacological Interventions for Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2009;52(11):1069-1076
Although acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine) and NMDA receptor antagonists (e.g., memantin) have demonstrated efficacy in the temporal symptomatic control of cognitive decline and daily function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, their effect is not good enough to restore premorbid function, nor is it maintained in the later stages. Therefore, nonpharmacological interventions are being increasingly advocated in order to optimize the cognition, affect and global functioning of AD patients. We reviewed the current nonpharmacological interventions for AD. Nonpharmacological interventions can be divided into two groups. One is cognitive interventions (e.g., Memory rehabilitations, Reality orientation, Reminiscence therapy and so on) and the other is behavioral interventions (e.g., unmet needs interventions, learning and behavioral interventions, environmental vulnerability and reduced stress-threshold interventions). Cognitive interventions are aimed to slow and compensate cognitive decline of AD patients. On the other hand, behavioral interventions are aimed to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, agitation, wandering, aggression and so on) of AD patients. Although many of the nonpharmacological interventions have proven beneficial for AD patients, their efficacy was still ambiguous. Randomized and controlled study with a larger sample size is needed to confirm efficacy of nonpharmacological interventions.
