A challenging diagnosis: Lesson from case series of sacral Ewing sarcoma.

Background: Ewing's sarcoma is an aggressive bone and the surrounding soft tissue cancer primarily found in children and young adults.

Hallux valgus among sales promotion women wearing high heels in a department store.

Background: Wearing high heels for an extended period of time can cause several pathological conditions in women's feet, one of such is the hallux valgus (HV), as shown by a number of cross-sectional studies. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of HV among sales promotion women and to know the association of the high heel shoes with the severity of HV in that population.

Method: This study used comparative cross-sectional design between two groups, wearing high heel and flat shoes; sales promotion women who work for at least 1 year were recruited as subjects by means of purposive sampling and were given questionnaires, and then physical and radiological examination of the foot were performed to detect any HV and its severity.
