A Peculiar Case of Idiopathic Herpes-Zoster-Like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS).

Epidermal necrolysis is a severe dermatological condition usually associated with adverse drug reactions involving the mucosa. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is clinically diagnosed when an epidermal detachment of less than 10% of body surface area (BSA) is involved. In contrast, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is characterized when there is an epidermal detachment of more than 30% BSA.

Anther development of maize (Zea mays) and longstamen rice (Oryza longistaminata) revealed by cryo-SEM, with foci on locular dehydration and pollen arrangement.

Key message: Pollen maturation in Poaceae. Another development has been extensively examined by various imaging tools, including transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and light microscopy, but none is capable of identifying liquid water. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy with high-pressure rapid freeze fixation is excellent in preserving structures at cellular level and differentiating gas- versus liquid-filled space, but rarely used in anther study.

Qualitative study of high-cost patients in an urban primary care centre.

Objectives: We examined patient accounts of illness and care among primary care patients whose medical services costs were high in order to illuminate factors associated with high cost.

Methods: Thirty-three primary care patients with multiple chronic illnesses in an urban clinic serving a resource poor neighbourhood were selected from a range of high medical cost patients. Participants were interviewed with open-ended questions to investigate experiences of illnesses and care; their responses were examined for prominent themes using qualitative analysis methodology.

Cascading crises, resilience and social support within the onset and development of multiple chronic conditions.

Objective: To describe and better understand adults' responses to the onset, accrual and influence of multiple chronic conditions and to social support in adapting to consequent difficulties.

Methods: Qualitative study of 33 adults with multiple chronic illnesses randomly sampled from an urban primary care clinic. Semi-structured interviews targeted retrospective accounts of illness onset, consequent loss, as well as current accounts of social support and adaptation.

Assessment of pain relief provided by interscalene regional block and infusion pump after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of interscalene regional blocks and infusion pumps for postoperative pain control after arthroscopic subacromial decompression with or without arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: Seventy-six patients were included in the prospective study. Participants were randomized into 4 treatment groups: (1) interscalene regional block, (2) infusion pump with 0.

Structural properties of lateral collateral ligament reconstruction at the fibular head.

Background: Anatomical reconstruction of a ruptured lateral collateral ligament using allograft tissue secured within the fibular head with an interference screw has been described.

Hypothesis: Interference fixation at the fibular head does not reproduce the strength of the intact ligament.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
