Pityriasis rosea (PR) is an acute, self-limiting papulosquamous exanthem. A number of atypical variants of PR, regarding morphology and distribution of the lesions or severity of the symptoms, may be observed. Herein, we present the first case of atypical PR with hypopigmented lesions and a target-shape herald patch.

Pitiriasis rosea (PR) is a papulosquamous disorder with appearance of multiple, discrete patchesof skin rash in distinctive pattern over the trunk and limbs. Epidemiologic studies on PR Africa showed 2,2% to 4,8% dermatologist patient have PR. The incidence 170 cases per 100,000 persons year It typically affects 10 35 years age. clinical presentation can be single larger lesion, measuring about...

Pityriasisrosea is a frequently encountered skin disease associated with typical erythematous-squamous lesions. Majority of the cases relate to patients between 10 and 35 years of age. In clinically typical cases, the disease appears with the initial lesion called herald patch. The initial lesion generally locates on trunk, neck and proximal extremities. However, it can rarely be seen on other ...

Recently, Andreas Husch, Nathan Cramer, and Ronald M. Harris-Warrick achieved a remarkable breakthrough in patch-clamp recordings of ventral horn neurons in the adult spinal cord slice preparation. This landmark study that breaks the "age barrier" is titled "Long-duration perforated patch recordings from spinal interneurons of adult mice" (Husch et al., in press). In it, the authors demonstrate...

We tackle the problem of robust dialogue processing from the perspective of language engineering. We propose an agent-oriented architecture that allows us a flexible way of composing robust processors. Our approach is based on Shoham’s Agent Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm. We will show how the AOP agent model can be enriched with special features and components that allow us to deal with c...
