This study investigates systematic individual differences in the way observers perceive different kinds of surface properties and their relationship to the dress, which shows striking individual differences in colour perception. We tested whether these individual differences have a common source, namely differences in perceptual strategies according to which observers attribute features in two-...

Drug-induced hypersensitivity or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptom (DRESS) is a severe adverse drug-induced reaction. Diagnosing DRESS is challenging due to the diversity of cutaneous eruption and organs involved. Most of the aromatic anticonvulsants, such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine, can induce DRESS. Culprit drug withdrawal and corticosteroids constituted...

OBJECTIVE To describe the effect of physicians' dress on patient confidence and trust. DESIGN A prospective crossover trial involving physicians dressed in "respectable" versus "retro" attire. SETTING A general medicine ward at a tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS 12 male general physicians and 1680 patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patient trust and confidence as measured by a questionnaire...

This study isolates specific dimensions of service quality expectations and investigates how service-contact-personnel dress, as one of the dimensions, influences the other dimensions in the service context of banking. A conceptual model is proposed based on inference theory. Moderating variables of age and gender are incorporated. A 2 x 2 x 2 full factorial design is utilized with the independ...

Introduction: Recognizing the determinants of behavior plays amajor role in identification and application of effective strategiesfor encouraging individuals to follow the intended pattern ofbehavior. The present study aimed to analyze the universitystudents’ behaviors regarding the amenability to dress code, usingthe theory of reasoned action (TRA).Methods: In this cross sectional study, 472 s...

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction characterized by extensive mucocutaneous eruption, fever, hematologic abnormalities, and extensive organ involvement. Here, we present a case of a young woman with DRESS syndrome following exposure to vancomycin with renal, cutaneous, and gastrointestinal ...

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), is a rare, acute and severe life-threatening systemic disease. DRESS syndrome is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, rash, hypereosinophilia and involvement of systemic organs. The most commonly implicated drugs are anticonvulsants, sulfonamides and allopurinol. ...

Background Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a potentially life-threatening multiorgan systemic reaction that includes skin rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, internal organ involvement, and leukocytosis with eosinophilia. Evidence for reactivation of human herpes virus (HHV) 6 has been seen in some DRESS patients. We present a case of allopurinolinduced DRESS syn...

discussion early recognition of dress syndrome is of a particular importance. although rare, in newborn infants with the presence of skin rash, liver involvement, hyper-eosinophilia and lymphadenopathy, dress diagnosis should be highly suspected and prompt intervention including withdrawal of causative drug is required to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. introduction drug rash with eosinophi...

proposed. We believed that nevirapine should be added to the list of drugs that can cause DRESS syndrome. The patient must be closely watched while being treated with this medication because DRESS syndrome has a mortality rate of 10% (generally because of liver involvement). Therefore, if symptoms are suggestive of DRESS syndrome, it is necessary to discontinue all treatment, and the patient sh...
