Co-amoxiclav is a well tolerated antibiotic. It has never been reported to cause, lonely this syndrome in children. Herein, we report a co-amoxiclav-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome occurring in an 18...

Studying how individuals compare two given quantitative stimuli, say d1 and d2, is a fundamental problem. One very common way to address it is through ratio magnitude estimation, that is to ask individuals not to give values to d1 and d2 but rather to give their estimates of the ratio p = d1/d2. Several psychophysical theories (the most known being Stevens’ power-law) claim that this ratio cann...

It is most often a recurring phenomenon with great variability in the interval between episodes. It is much more common in persons under 40 years of age.
