Observation on the Pathology and Therapy of the So-Called Frontier Sore

چکیده
Introduction.?In his report on ' A limited outbreak of diphtheria exhibiting both cutaneous and faucial lesions ', Bensted (1936) says that the patients under observation sustained some sort of abrasion in climbing up or scrambling down the steep rock-strewn khud-side. The wounds appeared to be trivial, but did not heal. That this non-healing did not attract attention earlier may be explained by the fact that a condition very similar in appearance is very common in this area (North-West Frontier Province). It develops from a simple abrasion and is often very slow to heal. The setiological agent in the majority of cases appears to be a staphylococcus, but it is probable that several factors are responsible for the slow healing. The lesion is often referred to colloquially as Frontier sore, but is not to be confused with the Leishmania infection that on occasions has been known by that

متن کاملSome Conditions for Characterizing Minimum Face in Non-Radial DEA Models with Undesirable Outputs
The problem of utilizing undesirable (bad) outputs in DEA models often need replacing the assumption of free disposability of outputs by weak disposability of outputs. The Kuosmanen technology is the only correct representation of the fully convex technology exhibiting weak disposability of bad and good outputs. Also, there are some specific features of non-radial data envelopment analysis (DEA...
متن کاملA Note On Dual Models Of Interval DEA and Its Extension To Interval Data
In this article, we investigate the measurement of performance in DMUs in which input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. By imprecise data, we mean that in some cases, we only know that the actual values are inside certain intervals, and in other cases, data are specified only as ordinal preference information. In this article, we present two distinct perspectives for determining...
