We present a full analysis of data from our preliminary report (Lafer-Sousa, Hermann, & Conway, 2015) and test whether #TheDress image is multistable. A multistable image must give rise to more than one mutually exclusive percept, typically within single individuals. Clustering algorithms of color-matching data showed that the dress was seen categorically, as white/gold (W/G) or blue/black (B/K...

In general, computer aided design support systems have got an approach of artificial intelligence, which statistically analyzes data such as the behavior of designer, to extract formal design behavior. This approach, however, can neither deal with continuous change of fashion nor reflect personal taste well, as it depends on large amount of collected data. To overcome this problem, this paper a...

semiformal dress may have introduced some bias. For example, the higher preferences for the semiformal nonsmiling doctor may have arisen by its association with a smile on another photograph. Ideally each dress style would have been presented with a smiling and non-smiling version, or the smiling option should have been randomly associated with any of the dress styles. Although these results ar...

BACKGROUND There is a current debate regarding the association of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). METHODS Seven consecutive patients hospitalized with DRESS were enrolled in a prospective study to evaluate evidence of active HHV-6 infection. OBSERVATIONS The imputable drugs were carbamazepine (5 patients), ibuprofen (1...

Results A facial edema in DRESS was associated with a definite case of DRESS (p=0.005) and a liver involvement (p=0.045). A younger age (50 years vs 66 years) was associated with a liver involvement (p=0.013). A severe neutropenia was associated with severe DRESS (p=0.012). Spongiosis and keratinocyte damage are the 2 most frequent epidermal changes noticed 55% and 53%. Pustules are not rare (2...

INTRODUCTION Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare but life-threatening reaction to drugs such as carbamazepine and allopurinol. The condition is characterized by skin rashes, fever, hematological disturbances, lymphadenopathy, and organ failure, most probably hepatic dysfunction. To date, only a few cases of valproate-induced DRESS syndrome have been ...
