We report three cases of severe disseminated Staphylococcus aureus infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with tocilizumab. Tocilizumab is a new drug, unknown to most internists, and injections given weeks before admission may not be considered by the patient as part of their 'current medical treatment', and the physician may not be aware that the patient is severely immun...

Sociologists have long recognized that historical events, such as wars, depressions, and natural disasters, can affect the trajectories of people’s lives and can, more broadly, alter social structure. The following paper examines the effect of a particular type of event, war, on a particular facet of people’s lives, their ability to work. The paper uses longitudinal data from the Panel Study of...

The Work Function Algorithm (WFA) is the most effective deterministic on-line algorithm for the k-server problem. E. Koutsoupias and C. Papadimitriou in [6] proved that WFA is (2k − 1)-competitive and it is conjectured that it is k-competitive. However the best known implementation of WFA requires time O(i2) to process request ri and this makes WFA impractical for long sequences of requests. Th...

INTRODUCTION Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most frequent cause of antibiotic hypersensitivity reactions. The study of all cases of suspected beta-lactam hypersensitivity is highly important, to avoid the use of less efficient or more expensive alternatives, for fear of a reaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-seven consecutive patients with suspected beta-lactam hypersensitivity reactions we...
