A similar case of Sjogren syndrome and subsequent development of systemic lupus erythematosus has been reported in a 12 year old boy.3 In our patient, two points remain to be clarified, whether the seizures were the first symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus central nervous system involvement and whether any relation can be found between the phenobarbitone treatment and the onset of...

We herein describe a case of an unusual multicentric castleman disease(MCD) accompanied by Thrombocytopenia, Anasarca, myeloFibrosis and Renal failure, compatible with TAFRO syndrome and associated with Sjogren disease. The treatment with corticosteroids dramatically improved the symptoms. The clinical features of this case were similar to those reported previously in Japan but this appears to ...

In the patient described here BLEL changed to malignant lymphoma in both parotid glands over a 2-year interval. Surgical removal was performed because this malignant lymphom...

In the IEEE 802.16e system, we propose an efficient power saving mechanism that increases the unavailability interval when the mobile station (MS) uses multiple power saving classes(PSCs). Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed mechanism reduces the power consumption of MSs considerably compared with conventional mechanism.
