ERYTHRODERMIA: THE FIRST MANIFESTATION OF COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY

Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) is a rare complication of transfusion of nonirradiated blood components. It usually affects children in high-risk groups, including those who have primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). It usually presents with skin, hepatic, digestive, and hematologic involvement and is normally fatal. We report a case of a nonlethal, attenuated, TA-GVHD which was the clue...

Single PON network design with unconstrained splitting stages

A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a network technology for deploying access networks based on passive optical components. In a single PON access network, the client terminals are connected to a Central Office through optical splitters and interconnecting fibers where each splitter splits in equal parts the input optical signal coming from the Central Office over its different output fibers. In this paper, we c...
