normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa in this case report, we present a 30‑year-old man who developed pityriasis rubra pilaris (prp) following exposure to dolomite. the diagnosis of prp was confirmed histologically and the patient was successfully treated with acitretin and cyclosporine.

The postcranial system is composed of the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton, which consists of serially repeating segments commonly known as vertebrae, protects and provides leverage for movement of the body. Across the vertebral column, much numerical and morphological diversity can be observed, which is associated with axial regionalization. The present article discusses th...

Consider a Markov process with countably many states. In order to find a one-state occupation time distribution, we use a combination of Fourier and Laplace transforms in the way that allows for the inversion of the Fourier transform. We derive a closed-form expression for the occupation time distribution in the case of a simple continuous time random walk on Z and represent the one state occup...

Transposable elements, or transposons, are selfish genetic elements that possess the ability to mobilize within a genome, potentially causing serious damage. They can accomplish this through several well-understood mechanisms. Most move via an RNA intermediate (class I: retrotransposons), whereas others colonize new locations through the direct transfer of transposon DNA (class II: DNA transpos...

The past 5 years have seen increasing calls to reexamine our assessment and intervention practices to ensure that they reflect the profession's basic focus on occupation. Although a number of noteworthy efforts in this direction have been presented for adult practice areas, implementation of occupation-centered assessment in pediatric has been hampered by the lack of a consistent framework to g...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a constraint on the natural occupation numbers of fermionic states. It has been suspected since at least the 1970s, and only proved very recently, that there is a multitude of further constraints on these numbers, generalizing the Pauli principle. Here, we provide the first analytic analysis of the physical relevance of these constraints. We compute the natural ...

C A N A D I A N J O U R N A L O F APRIL1998 • OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY 81 ABSTRACT Occupational therapists believe that there is a relationship between occupation, health and well-being but there is little evidence in the occupational therapy literature to support this belief. This paper describes the results of a critical review of research examining the relationship between occupation and health ...
