(a) A pre-diverticular stage, when the edge of the barium shadow showing the affected intestine is marked by an almost ragged margin; (&) a stage in which the protuberances are well marked, showing the two shapes referred to above; (c) a stage ...

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an autoimmune disease of the skin that causes enlarging, painful ulcers with ragged, undermined, purplish borders. Pyoderma gangrenosum is frequently mistaken for other conditions, and early diagnosis is essential to avoid disfiguring surgery and prolonged recovery. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with psoriatic arthritis that was initially treated ...

In this paper we relate the partition function to the max-statistics of random variables. In particular, we provide a novel framework for approximating and bounding the partition function using MAP inference on randomly perturbed models. As a result, we can use efficient MAP solvers such as graph-cuts to evaluate the corresponding partition function. We show that our method excels in the typica...

ized by onset in the late second or early third decade of life with a progressive, disabling, and drug-resistant action myoclonus and an invariably fatal course. The diagnosis is challenging until the full clinical picture is present. Progressive myoclonus ataxia or epilepsy with SCARB2 mutations should be distinguished from Unverricht-Lundborg disease, myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers...

All had lactic acidosis, multiple stroke-like events with secondary neurological deficits, radiological changes of progressive brain infarction, and muscle biopsy showing ragged-red fibers. In patients with earli...
