Introduction FMF is considered an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory syndrome caused by single gene (MEFV) mutations. Recently, it has been known that also heterozygous mutation carriers can suffer from a mild or incomplete form of FMF, named FMF-like disease. Among Armenians, who have relatively high carrier rate of MEFV mutations, single mutation has been detected in about 1/5 of symptomati...

Abstract Introduction The literature on vulvodynia treatment is heterogeneous in terms of intervention type, study quality, and outcome measures. A systematic review (SR) treatments was recently published focusing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) non-RCTs for provoked vestibulodynia (PVD, a subtype). authors the SR concluded that most studies had very low certainty evidence, which limited ab...

Thiasporine A (1), the first natural product with a 5-hydroxy-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one moiety, along with two new thiazole derivatives, thiasporines B and C (2 and 3), were isolated from the marine-derived Actinomycetospora chlora SNC-032. The structures of 1-3 were established on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Thiasporine A showed cytotoxicity against the n...

We consider Salim Rashid’s asymptotic version of David Schmeidler’s theorem on the purification of Nash equilibria. We show that, in contrast to what is stated, players’ payoff functions have to be selected from an equicontinuous family in order for Rashid’s theorem to ∗I wish to thank Mário Páscoa and Myrna Wooders for very helpful comments. All remaining errors are, of course, mine. †Address:...
