Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) has been described in the literature as a combination of erythematous blistering skin lesions covering <10% of body surface area and ≥1 mucous membrane erosion.1 SJS is usually triggered by a medication or infection. Infectious causes are more common in children, most notably herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Mucous membrane erosions without si...

During development, many epithelia are formed by a mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). Here, we examine the major stages and underlying mechanisms of MET during blood-brain barrier formation in Drosophila We show that contact with the basal lamina is essential for the growth of the barrier-forming subperineurial glia (SPG). Septate junctions (SJs), which provide insulation of the paracellu...

The existence of fixed point in orthogonal metric spaces has been initiated by Eshaghi and et. al [7]. In this paper, we prove existence and uniqueness theorem of fixed point for mappings on $varepsilon$-connected orthogonal metric space. As a consequence of this, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for analytic function of one complex variable. The paper concludes with some i...

PURPOSE Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are very serious forms of drug-induced cutaneous adverse reaction. SJS/TEN induced by certain drug is well known to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene type. We aimed to explore HLA allele frequencies and their association with SJS/TEN according to culprit drugs in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS W...

Diophantine approximation is traditionally the study of how well real numbers are approximated by rationals. We propose a model for studying in an arbitrary totally bounded metric space where rationals replaced with countable hierarchy “well-spread” points, which we refer to as abstract prove various Jarník–Besicovitch type dimension bounds and investigate their sharpness.
