We present a case of papular-purpuric "gloves and socks" syndrome (PPGSS) in an adult male with acute parvovirus B19 infection.

We believe this is the first reported cas...

In this manuscript we have presented a literature survey of cryptographically securepseudo random number generators, their requirements regarding statistical properties and next bit test. The paper also provides a brief overview of Blum Blum Shub (BBS) Generator specifically, which is considered to be the best cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. We have performed the rigorou...

A 5-month-old Malay boy presented with purpuric papules and plaques on the face and extremities accompanied by fever, coryzal symptoms and bilateral lower limb oedema. There were also bullous linear purpuric lesions on the right upper limb. Blood and culture tests were normal.

Reasons associated with low glove use were unavailability, discomfort and worker...
