The use of eponyms has long been contentious, but many remain in common use, as discussed elsewhere (Editorial: Oral Diseases. 2009: 15; 185). The use of eponyms in diseases of the head and neck is found mainly in specialties dealing with medically compromised individuals (paediatric dentistry, special care dentistry, oral and maxillofacial medicine, oral and maxillofacial pathology, oral and m...

Pachyonychia congenital (PC) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized hyperkeratosis affecting the nails and palmoplantar areas, oral leukokeratosis, and cystic lesions. A 39-year-old woman with PC type 1 (Jadassohn-Lewandowsky syndrome) and B-cell lymphoma is described. No similar disorders or parental consanguinity were found in her family. Typical features of PC developed si...

The limitations of working memory (WM) and their determinants have been a matter of intense debate in the last years (e.g., Barrouillet and Camos, 2012; Oberauer and Lewandowsky, 2013; Ricker et al., 2014; see Barrouillet and Camos, 2015, for a review). Is forgetting from WM only due to interference, or do WM traces also suffer from temporal decay? This latter hypothesis has recently gained som...

This issue of Philosophical Transactions examines the relationship between scientific uncertainty about climate change and knowledge. Uncertainty is an inherent feature of the climate system. Considerable effort has therefore been devoted to understanding how to effectively respond to a changing, yet uncertain climate. Politicians and the public often appeal to uncertainty as an argument to del...

A key question in cognitive psychology is whether information in short-term memory is lost as a function of time. Lewandowsky, Duncan, and Brown (2004) argued against that memory loss because forgetting in serial recall occurred to the same extent across serial positions regardless of the rate of recall. However, we believe Lewandowsky et al. (2004) only prevented one of two types of rehearsal;...

The nails are affected by several dermatological and systemic diseases, and it is uncommon to find an isolated nail abnormalities. However, there are some diseases, in which the nails are affected primarily and similarly there are syndromes in which the nails affection is one of its major components. Some medical conditions in which there is a link to the nails are known eponymously (Tabl. I). ...

In 1906 Jadassohn and Lewandowsky described a rare genodermatoses named it pachyonychia congenita. Pachy means thick. It is group of involving keratin mutation with thickened nails variable associated findings. Pachyonychia congenita disease having four types. However, type 1 2 can be considered common among them. often mimic fungal infection as nail hyperkeratosis occur in both.

In short-term serial recall, similar-sounding items are remembered more poorly than items that do not sound alike. When lists mix similar and dissimilar items, performance on the dissimilar items is of considerable theoretical interest. S. Farrell and S. Lewandowsky (2003) recently showed that if guessing strategies are controlled, dissimilar items on mixed lists are recalled more accurately th...

In their opinion article, Lewandowsky, Oberauer and Brown [1] make a strong case against time-based accounts of forgetting in short-term andworkingmemory.We argue, however, that the interference-based account they favor is underspecified, that the time-loss functions predicted by time-based models are misconstrued and that the contradictory findings issued from the time-based resource-sharing (...
