BACKGROUND  Several criteria exist to identify the optimal model for quantification of tracer kinetics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correspondence in kinetic model preference identification for brain PET studies among five model selection criteria: Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), AIC unbiased (AICC), model selection criterion (MSC), Schwartz Criterion (SC), and F-test. M...

s-j syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of short stature, blepharophimosis, puckerd mouth, myotonia, muscular weakness, pectus carinatum and stiff joints. case report: first case: n.1. a boy aged 7 years. his main abnormalities included puckered lip, blephharophimosis, muscular hypertrophy and weakness, pectus carinatum, short stature, shoulder joint limitation and myopia. myotonic ...

Methods A prospective study has been developed, it included all patients over 16 years old with diagnosis of StevensJohnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) that were admitted to the Burns Critical Unit from Hospital Universitario La Paz, since June 2007 until June 2014. A protocol with a multidisciplinary team was established. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and all of...

nystagmus, dislocation of the left lens in the vitreous humour, and multiple retinal atrophic lesions were also found. An IQ of 49 was found on the Wechsler adult intelligence scale.4 The neurological clinical examination showed cerebellar ataxia with limb and truncal ataxia and ataxic gait; also in this patient, mild hypertonia of the lower limbs, brisk tendon reflexes, and Babinski's sign on ...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an acute mucocutaneous disorder that can be associated with considerable morbidity. Several previous reports, all involving either adults with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or children, suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin may be an effective treatment for SJS. We report a case of SJS in an immunocompetent adult whose condition improved dramatically aft...

Cushing's syndrome is a pathological condition associated with excessive cortisol production, the commonest etiology being Cushing's disease. Corticosteroids in high doses have been used in the management of Steven Johnson Syndrome (SJS) with favourable outcome. We describe a patient with Cushing's disease who developed SJS, one week after taking sperulina a product from sea-weed while waiting ...

However, some of these patients develop SCARs related to sorafenib, such as Drug Reaction with Eosynophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), SJS or AGEP.5,6,8,9 To our knowledge, only 2 more cases of sorafenib-induced acute exanthematous pustulosis have been published, being one of them an acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) and the other one a complete AGEP.5,6 The main features of t...

The properties of infinite series in the Wick powers of a free field whose two-point correlation function has a singular infrared behavior and does not satisfy the positivity condition are investigated. If these series are defined on an appropriate functional domain, then the fields to which they converge satisfy all conditions of the pseudo-Wightman formalism. For series convergent only on ana...
