we present a 21-years old woman with alopecia universalis, generalized vitiligo, and graves' disease. she had had thyroidectomy in early childhood and was receiving replacement therapy with levothyroxine. the patient was treated with systemic puva and glucocorticoid in combination with topical treatment for alopecia. after 6 months of treatment, alopecia was reversed but vitiligo was unchanged.

orf is a mucocutaneous disease that occurs when non-intact skin comes into contact with contaminated sheep saliva. the lesions may complicate to lymphangitis or secondary bacterial infection, but systemic complications such as erythema multiforme, maculopapular rash, and generalized lymphadenopathy are rare. in this paper, we present two cases of erythema multiforme following orf disease.

This paper proposes large deviation optimal properties of the empirical likelihood testing (ELT) moment selection procedures for moment restriction models. Since the parameter spaces of the moment selection problem is discrete, the conventional Pitman-type local alternative approach is not very helpful. By applying the theory of large deviations, we analyze convergence rates of the error probab...

Several approaches for the evaluation of upper and lower bounds on error probability of spread spectrum multiple access communication systems are presented. These bounds are obtained by utilizing an isomorphism theorem in the theory of moment spaces. From this theorem, we generate closed, compact, and convex bodies, where one of the coordinates represents error probability, while the other coor...

In this communication, we describe some interrelations between generalized q-entropies and a generalized version of Fisher information. In information theory, the de Bruijn identity links the Fisher information and the derivative of the entropy. We show that this identity can be extended to generalized versions of entropy and Fisher information. More precisely, a generalized Fisher information ...

On a (β, q)-generalized Fisher information and inequalities involving q-Gaussian distributions a) In the present paper, we would like to draw attention to a possible generalized Fisher information that fits well in the formalism of nonextensive thermostatistics. This generalized Fisher information is defined for densities on R n. Just as the maximum Rényi or Tsallis entropy subject to an ellipt...

In this paper we consider three parameter generalized exponential distribution. Exact expressions and some recurrence relations for single and product moments of lower generalized order statistics are derived. Further the results are deduced for moments of order statistics and lower records and characterization of this distribution has been considered on using the conditional moment of the lowe...
