In the paper, we focus on the chronic plaque psoriasis. It has the following characteristics. It is a well-defined plaque that is the most common presentation of psoriasis. Lesions can appear anywhere on the cutaneous surface. They enlarge to a certain size and then tend to remain stable for months or years. A temporary brown, white, or red macula remains when the plaque subsides. Typical image...

Topiramate, a new anticonvulsant, is also used for the prophylaxis of migraine and cluster headache. A serious but not often discussed side effect of the drug is the development of acute myopia and acute angle-closure glaucoma in the early stage of therapy that subsides rapidly with prompt discontinuation. One such case is reported here and the relevant literature in this regard is also reviewed.

In this paper we propose a multicast-on-large-demand (MOLD) approach to the flash crowd problem. A MOLD Web server may dynamically open a multicast channel for resources when detecting a very high demand for them, and it reverts back to the normal unicast mode when the flash crowd subsides. A number of mechanisms necessary for realizing the MOLD system are thoroughly discussed. We have implemen...

The mechanism of blistering is obscure. Although its onset in relation to high-dose frusemide is extremely suggestive, the blistering tendency subsides in weeks or months, irrespective of whether large doses of frusemide are continued or not. It is tempting to speculate that frusemide interferes with tissue metabolism in the region of the dermal-epidermal junction in a manner that depends on li...

THE aetiology of vernal conjunctivitis is not yet established apart from a supposed association with "allergy ". Fibrolysin (Luedde, 1920), acetic acid, lactic acid (Tontscheff, 1929), chaulmoogra oil (El-Tobgy, 1933), and other classical "magic eye-drops ", have all proved useless. No specific therapy has been found apart from palliatives till the disease subsides of its own accord. The clinic...

This paper studies the effect of decoupling on optimal investment in agriculture assuming disinvestment flexibility. Agricultural income being determined by policy processes is subject to policy uncertainty. Case study examples suggest that assuming disinvestment flexibility, decoupling increases income stability, and a higher level of investments can be achieved even with lower subsides. Incre...

This thesis introduces several new models in operations management, that are motivated by practical settings. It studies these models in an optimization-driven approach, employing mathematical programming techniques to derive important structural and algorithmic insights on the corresponding problems. In the first part of the thesis, we study subsidy allocation problems under budget constraints...

This paper combines the neural network model to analyze correlation between interbank money market interest rate and financial crisis, theoretically analyzes influence of characteristics banking industry on transmission monetary policy rates. Moreover, this constructs a theoretical examines whether variables still affect measurement indicators after crisis subsides. In addition, construct analy...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in Iran and there is no curative treatment. The disfiguring scar that remains after it subsides is a major psychologic and emotional problem in these patients. Chronic leishmaniasis is a rare form of this malady which is seen in 5-7 percent of cases. In this article we report a 46-year-old man who was refered to us for a large leishmaniasis lesion c...
