Introduction Interleukin-36-receptor antagonist deficiency (DITRA) is a recently described auto-inflammatory disease, characterized by repeated flares of generalized pustular psoriasis, high fever, asthenia and systemic inflammation. This condition is caused by homozygous missense mutation in the IL36RN gene, encoding the interleukin-36-receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra), an anti-inflammatory cytoki...

Introduction Blau syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal dominant, autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by the clinical triad of granulomatous, recurrent uveitis, dermatitis and symmetric arthritis. The arthritis is usually a polyarticular exuberant synovitis and tenosynovitis and represents the characteristic phenotypic feature. Uveitis occurs in most patients and commonly evolves to a panuveiti...

The radiation lengths needed for the radiative corrections, for the nitrogen dilution and elastic analyses are calculated in this note. 1 Polarized He cells 1.1 Wall and window thicknesses 1.1.1 Duke The wall and window thickness measurements were done by Jaideep Singh [1]. The average value for wall thicknesses measured by Vince Sulkosky [2] were very similar: 1.42 mm for the left side∗ and 1....

An important issue in intermediate energy physics is to what degree one can understand exclusive reactions from the viewpoint of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, pQCD. Strong theoretical arguments exist that pQCD should not be applicable at intermediate energies and momentum transfers, but experimental cross sections generally follow the constituent counting rules that can be derived from p...

Thank you for your comment. Indeed stress echocardiography is a promising tool for the evaluation of the phenomenon of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, as you already mentioned, cut-off values and influence of other factors such as age and standardisation of exercise protocols are lacking and the predictive role of PH at exercise is not well understood. For these reasons t...
