Star shaped aquatic skin eruption

Bortezomib-induced skin eruption.

Bortezomib (Velcad) is a proteasome inhibitor recently developed and mainly used for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Bortezomib represents a novel class of drugs functioning as proteasome inhibitors. Skin complications of bortezomib treatment are very frequent but poorly characterized. We describe the case of a patient who developed erythematous and edematous plaques after treatment with bor...

Star-Shaped and L-Shaped Orthogonal Drawings

An orthogonal drawing of a plane graph G is a planar drawing of G, denoted by D(G), such that each vertex of G is drawn as a point on the plane, and each edge of G is drawn as a sequence of horizontal and vertical line segments with no crossings. An orthogonal polygon P is called orthogonally convex if the intersection of any horizontal or vertical line L and P is either a single line segment o...

Star-Shaped Conjugated Systems

The present review deals with the preparation and the properties of star-shaped conjugated compounds. Three, four or six conjugated arms are attached to crossconjugated cores, which consist of single atoms (B, C, N), benzene or azine rings or polycyclic ring systems, as for example triphenylene or tristriazolotriazine. Many of these shape-persistent [n]star compounds tend to -stacking and self...

K-star-shaped Polygons

We introduce k-star-shaped polygons, polygons for which there exists at least one point x such that for any point y of the polygon, segment xy crosses the polygon’s boundary at most k times. The set of all such points x is called the k-kernel of the polygon. We show that the maximum complexity (number of vertices) of the k-kernel of an n-vertex polygon is Θ(n) if k = 2 and Θ(n) if k ≥ 4. We giv...
