The prevalence of asthma has been increasing in Japan, like in other parts of the world. Asthma management guidelines were developed in Japan in 1993 and 1998. These guidelines have been shown to contribute to the improvement of asthma management in Japan. Most allergists know the guidelines and make use of them. However, only half the non-specialists surveyed knew the guidelines in 1996-97, although the awareness of the guidelines increased over the next 3 years. Further efforts are required to implement the guidelines widely.

INTRODUCTION: Benign thyroglossal duct tract remnants typically thyroglossal duct cysts, (TDCs) are one of the commonest congenital childhood midline neck masses. Clinical presentation of persistent TDCs in adults is uncommon and the occurrence of incidental primary thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) in these cysts is rare. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report the case of a 32-year-old female with an asymptomatic midline neck mass compatible with a TDC that was excised by Sistrunk's procedure. Histopathological examination revealed an incidental primary intraluminal TPC arising from the wall of the TDC. DISCUSSION: management dilemmas regarding the roles for total thyroidectomy, regional lymph node dissection, radioactive iodine, and suppressive thyroxine therapy are reviewed in the context of relevant evidence based literature. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of incidental TPC in a TDC is rare. Though Sistrunk's procedure is adequate treatment for TDC, based on low, moderate, and high risk stratification, recommendations for further management of incidental TPC in TDC is discussed.

Syracuse has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2005. Notable for its visible traces of the ancient Greek city, the inscribed sites are mainly located on the Ortigia Islet and in the Neapolis Archaeological Park. In this park, in addition to monuments of global significance such as the Greek theatre carved into the rock in the fifth century bc, wild flora of great interest are preserved. Some species may have been introduced in the classical period. In 2013, significant maintenance interventions of green areas were made, aimed at safeguarding the monuments and the most relevant flora present. This activity provided an opportunity to create, through an interdisciplinary project, some guidelines for the management of the green cover, and has also created new opportunities for the use of the site through thematic routes.

Contemporary organizations need to dynamically adapt to their rapidly changing environment. This imposes challenges to the entire organization, including its supporting information systems (IS). However, current value management practices pay little attention to evolvability issues within the evaluation and deployment of information technology dependent strategic initiatives (ITDSIs). In this paper, we explore how the evolvability of an information technology (IT) application can be assessed and which practices might be affected if an organization is willing to address this issue. For this purpose, we propose a set of five specific management guidelines. These should lead to ITDSIs yielding more evolvable information systems to an organization, and hence enable the organization to more easily adapt to its environment, providing a competitive advantage.
