The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by triad of joint hypermobility, skin extensibility, and tissue fragility. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV places patients at risk for life-threatening, spontaneous, vascular or visceral rupture due to reduced or abnormal secretion of type III collagen. We present an adolescent male who was found to have a...

Controlled choice over public schools attempts giving parents selection options while maintaining diversity of different student types. In practice, diversity constraints are often enforced by setting hard upper bounds and hard lower bounds for each student type. We demonstrate that, with hard bounds, there might not exist assignments that satisfy standard fairness and non-wastefulness properti...

conclusions all clinical findings were directly related to the features described for eds. there are occasions when dentists would be the first health professionals to see these individuals at a young age; knowing the classic signs of eds could help in identifying and managing them properly. introduction this study aimed to elaborate a case with several complications and recommended some sugges...

This paper discusses our experience with oral fluorescein in general and specifically its use on a group of Ehlers-Danlos patients. I will discuss our methods and results.

A 64 year old man with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 2 was admitted to hospital with severe angina of effort. Aortocoronary vein grafting was performed successfully.

The effectiveness of psychological treatments for PTSD is likely to be enhanced by improved understanding of the factors involved in maintaining the disorder.

Iconic image fusion is a technique that is used to combine the spatial structure of a high resolution panchromatic image with the spectral information of a lower resolution multispectral image to produce a high resolution multispectral image. This process is often referred to as pansharpening. In this study, image data of the new RADAR satellite TerraSAR-X are used to sharpen optical multispect...
