An Illustrative Case of Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like T-Cell Lymphoma by Farshad Bagheri, Kelly L. Cervellione, Belkis Delgado, Luis Abrante, Jose Cervantes, Jitendra Patel, Alan Roth

“…Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a very rare form of skin lymphoma that is localized primarily to the subcutaneous adipose tissue without palpable involvement of the lymph nodes. Diagnosis of SPTCL is a challenge, especially during its early phases when symptoms mimic other, more common conditions, such as benign panniculitis, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and cellulitis. …”

Data transmission algorithm of vehicle Ad Hoc network based on channel switching by Tiaojuan REN, Jinhao WAN, Yourong CHEN, Siyi LU, Banteng LIU

“…A data transmission algorithm of vehicle Ad Hoc network based on channel switching (DTA) was proposed.In the DTA,three network layers were considered,such as vehicle nodes,relay nodes and sink nodes.The vehicle nodes were classified by the information of vehicle’s driving direction.The vehicle nodes channel distribution and switching mechanism was proposed to reduce the interference of communication.Then a rapid transmission of relay nodes was proposed.A priority transmission method for emergency information was proposed to classify data with different queues and send data as their queues’ priority.Simulation results show that DTA can effectively achieve the rapid transmission of useful information,reduce unnecessary losses of energy,improve the data received rate of sink nodes,reduce the average hop number of data packets and improve coverage rate of data transmission.Under certain conditions,DTA is better than AODV and AODV-L algorithm,and is more suitable for vehicle driving environment of rapid change.…”
