This paper addresses a novel approach to recognizing several humans' postures from just a single eigenspace and investigates a practical problem associated with dress changes in recognizing human postures automatically employing an eigenspace technique. A single eigenspace is prepared employing an ordinary man’s several orientations and various humans' postures are recognized from it. The dress...

Febuxostat is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that during the last years has successfully replaced allopurinol treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperuricemia. Several adverse events have been observed during therapy with febuxostat. DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) syndrome induced by febuxostat has been poorly described, mainly in patient wi...

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare but increasingly described phenomenon of immune activation and organ dysfunction in association with a wide variety of medications. This reaction shows a broad spectrum of clinical presentation and severity, ranging from mild to lethal. Treatment strategies of immune suppression appear be helpful in some cases, but...

Spatial localization techniques are necessary for in vivo NMR spectroscopy involving heterogeneous organisms. Localization by surface coil NMR detection alone is generally inadequate for deep-lying organs due to contaminating signals from intervening surface tissues. However, localization to preselected planar volumes can be accomplished using a single selective excitation pulse in the presence...

Women are particularly motivated to enhance their sexual attractiveness during their most fertile period, and men perceive shades of red, when associated with women, as sexually attractive. Building on this research, we recently found that women are more likely to wear reddish clothing when at peak fertility (Beall & Tracy, 2013), presumably as a way of increasing their attractiveness. Here, we...

BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare disease which can cause severe morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical manifestation and course of DRESS syndrome. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in 45 patients with DRESS syndrome diagnosed between September 2009 and Aug...

Le syndrome d'hypersensibilité médicamenteuse ou Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) est une toxidermie rare mais sévère. Nous rapportons trois observations de DRESS syndromes secondaires à la prise de carbamazipine dans deux cas et de salazopyrine dans un cas. Le délai moyen entre la prise médicamenteuse et la survenue du DRESS syndrome était de six semaines. Le médicamen...

Drug Rash Eosinophilia Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a systemic hypersensitivity reaction characterized by exfoliative dermatitis and maculopapular rash, lymphadenopathy, fever, eosinophilia, leukocytosis, and involvement of internal organs as liver, lung, heart, and kidney; the disorder starts within 2-6 weeks after taking a drug with an incidence that ranges from 1/1000 to 1/10000 exp...

INTRODUCTION An esophagorespiratory fistula (ERF) can cause severe pneumonia or a lung abscess which progresses to life-threatening sepsis. A case of a patient with esophageal cancer and an esophagopulmonary fistula (EPF) who underwent separation surgery with drainage tube-less (DRESS) esophagostomy and was promptly started on definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is reported. PRESENTATION OF CA...
