Cohen Kadosh, Tzelgov, and Henik [Cohen Kadosh, R., Tzelgov, J., and Henik, A. (2008). A synesthetic walk on the number line: The size effect. Cognition, 106, 548-557] present a new paradigm to probe properties of the mental number line. They describe two experiments which they argue to be inconsistent with the exact small number model proposed by Verguts, Fias, and Stevens [Verguts, T., Fias, ...

We report a case of bronchobronchiolitis obliterans associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome diagnosed using bronchography and bronchoscopy in a 25-year-old man with dyspnea. Eighteen months prior to admission, the diagnosis of Stevens-Johnson syndrome due to anticonvulsant therapy was made at another hospital. On admission, the patient was wheezing and had overinflation of the lungs, with mark...

Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome (SJS) is an immune-complex-mediated hypersensitivity reaction and has been linked as an adverse side effects to many drugs. Lamotrigine, an anticonvulsive medication and also a commonly used mood stabiliser, can be associated with this adverse reaction. Although this has not been reported very commonly , SJS has high mortality and morbidity and requires careful attenti...

We treated a 53-year-old man with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lung who had developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a life-threatening cutaneous reaction, after systemic chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin and paclitaxel. A critical assessment disclosed circumstantial evidence pointing to paclitaxel as the likely cause of this complication. As far as we are aware, this account is the ...

Aims: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are serious severe cutaneous adverse reactions with high mortality and morbidity induced by medications. In this cross sectional study, we investigated, suspected drugs, and potential treatments of SJS/TEN. Methods: A cross- sectional descriptive study was conducted on 60 patients admitted with a diagnosis of Stevens-Jo...

PURPOSE To evaluate the use of the Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS Sixteen eyes of 15 patients with SJS underwent KPro surgery at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary from January 2000 through December 2005. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative findings were...

Background Severe exfoliative diseases of the skin (Erythema multiforme, Stevens–Johnson syndrome SJS, toxic epidermal necrolysis -TEN) are a result of an immunological reaction to foreign antigens, most frequently caused by drug consumption. It is characterized by extensive damage to the skin and mucous membranes due to detachment at the dermoepidermal junction, very similar to post-combustion...
