Over the last few years, dermoscopy has been shown to be a useful tool in assisting the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders. In this article, we sought to provide an up-to-date practical overview on the use of dermoscopy in general dermatology by analysing the dermoscopic differential diagnosis of relatively common dermatological disorders grouped according to thei...

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation (EBS-MP) is a rare subtype of EBS. It characterized by non-cicatricial blisters, mainly at the distal extremities, and progressive hyperpigmentation.

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) is a rare dermatosis of unknown origin characterized by hyperpigmented, confluent papules (1). CRP was first described in 1927 by Gougerot and Carteaud as " pap-illomatose pigmentée innominée " (2). It has been described as a relatively rare dermatosis manifesting as persistent papules that are confluent in the center and reticulated at the periphe...

Wikimedia article archives (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and so on) assemble open-access, authoritative corpora for semantic-informed datamining, machine learning, information retrieval, and natural language processing. In this paper, we show the MediaWiki wikitext grammar to be context-sensitive, thus precluding application of simple parsing techniques. We show there exists a worst-case bound on tim...
