Sebaceous epithelioma is a benign, exceptional, distinctive neoplasm comprised of basaloid cells and mature sebocytes. Although a sporadic neoplasm, Muir-Torre syndrome can be frequently associated with sebaceous epithelioma. Benign sebaceous epithelioma, additionally termed as sebaceoma is indicative of sebaceous neoplasm exceeding >50% basaloid cell component and demonstrates yellow papules, nodules or plaques predominating on sites of enhanced sebaceous glands. Dermoscopy delineates yellow-tinged, granular articulations with fine, curvilinear capillaries and vascular formations. Sebaceoma incorporates an admixture of undifferentiated basaloid cells and differentiated sebaceous cells. Basaloid cells enunciate a cytoplasmic vacuolation and sebaceous cells are clear and lipid rich. Histological variants of sebaceoma include carcinoid- like, sinusoidal, reticulated, cribriform, rippled and sebaceoma with Verocay body-like features. Immune reactivity to adipophilin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 5(CK5), cytokeratin 6(CK6) and p40 are elucidated. Sebaceoma requires a distinction from basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation and trichoblastoma with sebaceous differentiation. Surgical resection of the neoplasm with a narrow surgical resection margin is the preferred therapeutic option.

Timely access to health care in both urban and rural settings is a worldwide challenge. No nation that is committed to the health of her population can afford to replicate, in every community, all the resources required for comprehensive health care. On the other hand, as the potential for a universal internet access approaches reality, consumer access to health information and portals for health monitoring and health care-related services is assuming increasing importance with telemedicine inclusive. Telemedicine is the ability to provide interactive health care utilizing modern technology and telecommunication. It can be defined also as the use of electronic information and communications technologies to provide and support health care when distance separates the participants [1].

Tobacco cigarette smoke contains approximately 250 different chemicals known to be harmful to human health. The health impacts associated with smoking and second hand smoke are well documented to include cancer and chronic lung disease among others. Tobacco harm reduction is a concept to minimize the impacts of tobacco on the individual and on society at large. Earlier key component of this strategy was nicotine replacement therapy as a substitute to tobacco cigarettes. This paper elaborates further on available information associated with electronic cigarettes and their usage as alternatives to nicotine replacement therapy in respective to tobacco harm reduction.

A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].

Clear cell acanthoma was portrayed primarily by Degos [1]. Clear cell acanthoma is also referred to as Degos’ acanthoma or pale cell acanthoma and is cogitated as an asymptomatic, benign epidermal tumor devoid of gender predilection. Clear cell acanthoma defines a distinct entity on clinical and histological evaluation. Of obscure etiology, the disorder is possibly engendered by inflammation. Apart from exemplifying a benign epidermal tumor, it can be contemplated as a reactive inflammatory dermatosis. Definitive diagnosis of clear cell acanthoma can be challenging as the lesions simulate several benign and malignant skin conditions. Traumatic or drug induced genesis of the neoplasm lacks approval and the disease is of an essentially unknown pathogenesis [1,2].

Algae are the class of autotrophic aquatic organisms which grow effectively in nutrient rich condictiones [1]. Algal blooming and water toxicities is a serious environmental problem in all 50 states of US blue-green algae Red tides, and cyanobacteria are examples of toxic algae that can result multiple serious impacts on fresh water ecosystems, human health and the economy [2]. Some forms of algae produce toxic chemicals the accumulation of this toxic algae is called a harmful eutrophication. These can be found in marine and freshwater environments. The toxins resulting from the spread of algae in the marine environment can affect shellfish and the human body that seaweed extracts from the affected or algae polluted water Under these conditions, algal blooms can be formed on the water surface. The colors vary from dark green to yellow brown or red but cannot be seen immediately. The harmful health effects of the algae depend on the type of algae present and the type of exposure [3]. Direct skin contact with algal toxins may cause skin problems and eye irritation. Inhalation of toxic algae droplets in may have a minor effect on the respiratory tract and may cause hay fever-like symptoms. This usually happens when you come in contact with recreational areas where toxic algae may flourish, such as swimming pools, water skiing and boating areas. Drinking water contaminated with algae and food (such as fish and shellfish) can cause gastroenteritis, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever and headache. This toxin also affects the nervous system or may affect liver.

Poisoning is an abnormality in the body that is caused by the entry of foreign substances such as toxins and drugs into the body. The entry of poison into the body occurs in several ways, such as breathing gases and toxic vapors, eating and drinking toxic substances, skin contact, and blood transfusions [1]. Poisoning is of different kinds based on the type of toxic substance, which includes food, heavy metals, pesticides, radioactive substances, and drugs. Poisoning is the third cause of death and unintentional injuries in the world [2]. According to the WHO statistics in 2012, approximately 193200 people died from unintentional poisoning and one million people from suicide with toxic substances yearly [3].

What used to be unimaginable is made possible by the integration of advancement in information technology, electronic communications technology, telecommunications, computers and mobile technology with the field of medicine giving rise to the inception of the field of telemedicine as early as the 1960s using radio and telephone [1]. Presently, with the emergence of new health conditions needing immediate diagnosis and treatment, the internet facility plays an important role in communication and in providing these services to patients real time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition as it continues to affect adolescents in increasing number of countries.

Whooping cough is caused by gram negative bacteria Bordetella pertussis. Whooping cough is a vaccine preventable disease initially well controlled with whole cell vaccine but due to serious complications with this vaccine, it has now been replaced with acellular vaccine. Pertussis is a public health problem worldwide and despite effective vaccinations strategies it’s still endemic in many parts of the world with frequent outbreaks occurring in many countries [1]. Some have blamed the new vaccines to be less effective than the older ones and other says that new sophisticated techniques for diagnosis are responsible for rise in the disease incidence [2].
