The recorded reports of cutaneous eruptions due to the antihistaminic drugs have been few in number (1,2,3,4, 5, 6,7), but none of these has been truly urticarial in nature. McElin and Horton (1) in 1945 reported one instance of generalized pruritus, following thirty-eight intravenous injections of Benadryl hydrochloride in twenty-six patients. Epstein (2) reported two patients with atopic ecze...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) together with asthma and allergic rhinitis represents the most typical manifestation of “atopic constitution”. AD was known since ancient times and also Job was probably affected by it. In the Bible (Book of Job) we read:” So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown; and he took him a potsherd to...

INTRODUCTION Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare X-linked dominant disease which affects the ectodermal tissues, usually lethal in males. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of clinical data obtained from the photographic documentation and casenotes of patients diagnosed to have incontinentia pigmenti at the National Skin Centre. The study covered the period from January 1990 to Decem...

It was shown in 1953 by Engelbreth-Holm and Asboe-Hansen (4) that cortisone, injected intraperitoneally, caused a definite reduction in the de velopment of tumors and an increased latent pe riod in albino mice of strain ST/Eh painted once with 9,10-dimethyl-l,2-benzanthracene (DMBA). Similar results were obtained by Boutwell and Rusch (3) with carcinomas induced by benzpyrene. Sulzberger, Herrm...

Tra c engineering involves tuning a network's path-selection, link-scheduling, and bu ermanagement policies to the prevailing tra c demands and performance requirements. E ective tra c engineering requires an accurate, network-wide view of the con guration of the routers. However, network operators have limited tools to aid in con guring large backbone networks. Con guring IP routers is extreme...

In a distributed environment, such as the World Wide Web, an individual leaves behind personal data at many different locations. To protect the privacy of an individual’s sensitive information, locations make separate releases of identifiable data (e.g. name or social security number), and sensitive data (e.g. visitor’s IP address). To the releasing location the data appears unlinkable, however...

Network-based intrusions have become a serious treat to the users of the Internet. To help cover their tracks, attackers launch attacks from a series of previously compromised systems called stepping stones. Timing correlations on incoming and outgoing packets can lead to detection of the stepping stone and can be used to trace the attacker through each link. Existing approaches, however, delib...

Using the Internet as a foundation for wireless networking, there is currently a great deal of interest in providing IP networking support for mobile hosts. As a result of IP's reliance on the entire Internet address for host identiication, most proposals depend on a default route through the mobile host's home address, which makes for unnecessarily long routes. This paper introduces two concep...

For progressive interstitial pneumonia (progressive IP) that accompanies diffuse systemic sclerosis (diffuse SSc), no treatment guidelines have yet been established, and it is a complication with a poor prognosis. We herein report a case in which combination therapy of a low-dose corticosteroid and low-dose azathioprine was performed for progressive SSc-IP in a 64-year-old female whose respirat...
