These drugs could induce eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), previously known as Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), in patients who are prone to develop autoimmune diseases [1] One of the most important adjuvants responsible for developing ASIA (autoimmune/ inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants...

A 10- year-old female, known to have bronchial asthma, presented with an unusual laryngeal lesion, eventually diagnosed as Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS). She was referred to our hospital with history of recurrent stridor. On endoscopyhe, the larynx showed signs similar to recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). CSS is a systemic disorder and is now defined as one of the ANCA ( antineutrophil...

HOG Feature is the mainstream feature applied in the field of pedestrian detection .HOG combined with CSS has good effects on pedestrian detection. Because of the large amount calculation of HOG and CSS, HOG and CSS has poor real-time performance, we propose LCSSF (Local Color Self Similarity Feature) avoiding calculating the global color similarity distribution of CSS. The tested results of th...

Rabbits were given reinforced training of the nictitating membrane (NM) response using separate conditioned stimuli (CSs), which were a tone, light, and/or tactile vibration. Then, two CSs were compounded and given further pairings with the unconditioned stimulus (US). Evidence of both overexpectation and summation effects appeared. That is, responding to the individual CSs declined despite the...

In this paper, we explore and explain the factors that directly or indirectly affect free-trial users’ willingness to subscribe to a paid cloud storage service (CSS). To this end, we emphasize the system usage construct and model it as a central construct and investigate both its antecedents and consequents. Data from 181 actual CSS users is analyzed to show that while cognitive costs and servi...
