Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution (FAPD) is characterized by patterned hair loss with signs of both AGA and lichen planopilaris (LPP). So far, most studies on FAPD are based Caucasians, only few have been Asian populations. For the first time, we evaluated clinical histopathological features 20 Chinese patients FAPD. Clinical, demographic datas were retrospectively collected from Hua...

A Monte Carlo computer program has been used to calculate characteristics of the response of fully depleted silicon and germanium radiation detectors to monoenergetic gamma rays. Data for total absorption probability, intrinsic efficiency, escape peak efficiency and pulse height spectra are presented as functions of detector thickness and photon energy. Other parameters of interest in analysing...

We performed a first-principle, computational study of the optical properties of ruthenium dioxide. Our method employed a local density potential and the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). We circumvented a recently discovered spurious effect that is inherently associated with basis sets in variational calculations of the Rayleigh-Ritz type. Consequently, a significantly new feature ...

OBJECTIVE Survival and causes of death (COD) in multiple sclerosis (MS) provide ultimate endpoints. We aimed to investigate survival and COD in a 60-year population-based MS cohort compared with the general population. METHODS All patients with incident multiple sclerosis (MS) (N=1388) with onset during 1953-2012 in Hordaland County, Western Norway, were included. Data were obtained from pati...
