The Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have frequently been connected to medication exposure. They noted across all people throughout the world [1,2].

Stevens et al. believe that the interpretations of these metaanalyses are all too strongly negative and that this has subsequently been reflected in international guidelines and consensus statements. They say th...

Their presentation varies from mild rashes to severe reactions such as StevensJohnson syndrome (SJS). Steven Johnson's Syndrome is rare, serious systemic disorder involving the skin and mucous membranes. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is commonly associated with adverse dru...

K.H. Norwich et al. used Shannon Information Theory to derive their Entropy Theory of Perception (1975-present). The Entropy Theory produces the Entropy Equation, which relates the strength of sensation (represented by magnitude estimates) to the intensity of the sensory stimulus. At “high” intensities, the relation is approximately logarithmic, which Norwich et al. dubbed “the Weber-Fechner La...
