Evaluating the influence of green growth, institutional quality and financial inclusion on financial stability: evidence by sustainable finance theory.

Financial stability is essential for economic growth because it fosters confidence and trust and promotes investment in green development. However, it is a dilemma for the world economies to create an equilibrium between financial stability and environmental sustainability. In the extent of these challenges, the present study aims at grabbing the link of financial inclusion to attain financial stability. Further, the present study investigates the association of institutional quality, renewable energy, green growth, environmental sustainability, and financial inclusion with financial stability. Two basic econometric models are applied that focused on the basic and interaction term outcomes. In addition, principal component analysis (PCA) is analyzed to design an index for five proxies of financial inclusion. Additionally, the research inspected the interaction term of institutional quality and financial inclusion (FIN*INSQ) and determined the multiplied impact on financial stability in a separate model. This research employed the linear autoregressive distributed lag approach from 1990 to 2020 for long- and short-term dynamics. Theoretically, the research supports the sustainable finance and financial development theory. Hence, results showed that financial inclusion and institutional quality are positively associated with financial stability, while green growth, environmental sustainability, and renewable energy mechanisms are achieved through financial stability. Following our findings, the government should establish consistency between financial development and economic policies to maintain financial instability and ensure financial soundness. Furthermore, countries require viable financial institutions prioritizing green growth and institutional quality to achieve financial stability and long-term development.

Neglected giant scalp Basal cell carcinoma.

SUMMARY: Rarely, basal cell carcinoma grows to a giant size, invading the underlying deep tissue and complicating the treatment and reconstruction modalities. A giant basal cell carcinoma on the scalp is in some cases treated with a combination of surgery and radiation therapy, resulting in local control, a satisfactory long-term cosmetic and functional result. We present a case with a neglected basal cell scalp carcinoma, treated with wide excision and postoperative radiotherapy, reconstructed with a free latissimus dorsi flap. The cosmetic result is acceptable and there is no sign of recurrence 1 year postoperatively.

Women with inoperable or locally advanced breast cancer -- what characterizes them? A retrospective review of 157 cases.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Danish women. Locally advanced breast cancer occurs in a relatively large proportion of all new primary breast cancer diagnoses and for unexplained reasons 20-30% of women with breast cancer wait more than eight weeks from the initial breast cancer symptom(s) before seeking medical advice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, we performed a retrospective review of the medical records of patients referred to The Department of Breast Surgery, Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen in the period between 2006 and 2011, to characterize women presenting with breast cancer either larger than 5 cm or locally advanced breast cancer/inoperable breast cancer (LABC/IOBC). The aim of the study was to characterize these women concerning age, social status, co-morbidity, defined anamnestic parameters concerning breast history and delay in seeking medical advice, to explore whether common traits among these parameters could be identified which could account for the late diagnosis. RESULTS: We identified 157 cases. The median age of our cohort was 67 years (range 30-98) and did not differ from all women with breast cancer, but with a high risk of severe medical co-morbidity, psychiatric co-morbidity or dementia. However, 42% did not reveal any history of a psychiatric or somatic co-morbidity did not take psychoactive drugs and had no previous benign breast disorder. They were living in their own homes, were married, did not suffer from dementia, could have a first-degree relative with a history of breast cancer, but still presented with breast cancer characterized as LABC/IOBC, without any apparent reason. Among these 42%, more than half had neglected their obvious symptoms of breast cancer.

Cutaneous silicone granuloma mimicking breast cancer after ruptured breast implant.

Cutaneous manifestations due to migration of silicone from ruptured implants are rare. Migrated silicone with cutaneous involvement has been found in the chest wall, abdominal wall, and lower extremities. We describe a case of cutaneous silicone granuloma in the breast exhibiting unusual growth mimicking breast cancer after a ruptured implant.
