# Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji

Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji is a rare disorder most commonly found in Japan, characterized by pruritic papules that spare the skinfolds, producing bands of uninvolved cutis, creating the so-called deck-chair sign. Frequently there is associated blood eosinophilia. Skin biopsies reveal a dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, eosinophils in the papillary dermis, and increased Langerhans cells (S-100 positive). Systemic steroids are the treatment of choice and may result in long-term remissions.$^{:57}$
It was characterized in 1984.
Use of PUVA in treatment has been described.

# Papworth method

The Papworth method is a specific diaphragmatic breathing technique that was developed in the 1960s. The technique emphasises nose breathing and the development of a breathing pattern to suit current activity. It also involves relaxation exercises that, in concert with the breathing technique, have been purported to aid depression and anxiety.
Developed at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire, England, the method seeks to control "over-breathing" (rapid shallow breaths taken at the top of the chest) that are usually associated with persons under stressful conditions. The aim is to encourage gentler, more relaxed breathing, using the abdomen and diaphragm rather than the chest.

## Effectiveness

The first known randomised controlled trial to investigate the Papworth breathing technique has shown that it can cut asthma symptoms by a third in patients with mild asthma.
Elizabeth A. Holloway and Robert J. West from University College London (UCL) randomised 85 people with mild asthma to either five sessions of treatment by the breathing and relaxation method on top of their medical care or to usual drug therapy alone. Patients scored an average of 21.8 on the St George's Respiratory Symptom Questionnaire after completing five treatment sessions of the Papworth method in addition to their usual therapy. Patients who had not been given the therapy scored 32.8.
This improvement in symptoms was still maintained one year later. At 12 months patients who had been treated using the technique scored 24.9, while patients who had not scored 33.5.

# Parasphendale affinis

Parasphendale affinis, common name budwing mantis, is a species of praying mantis. It is named for the female's short wings and can grow to 4 inches long and have a low mortality rate as nymphs. They originate from Kenya and are a mottled brown and reddish pink color. They have a voracious appetite, and have been known to gorge themselves to the point of illness when kept in captivity with an unlimited food source. Though they can be kept in captivity, due to their level of activity they require more space than other mantis species.
# Parathitarodes

Parathitarodes is a monotypic moth genus of the family Hepialidae. The only described species is Parathitarodes changi, which is found in Taiwan.

# Rondeau Boulevard

Rondeau Boulevard (full name in Spanish: Boulevard General José Rondeau) is a two-way, four-lane avenue and arterial road in Rosario, province of Santa Fe, Argentina. It starts as a continuation of Alberdi Avenue, in Barrio Lisandro de la Torre, and runs in a straight line, roughly parallel to the Paraná River, along the center of the northeastern block of the city, forming the western limit of Barrio Alberdi. It ends in the node formed by Beltway Avenue, the access to the Rosario-Victoria Bridge and the beginning of National Route 11, which marks the municipal border of Rosario with the city of Granadero Baigorria.
The boulevard is named after General José Rondeau (1773–1844), who fought in the Argentine War of Independence and was the first appointed Supreme Director of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata.
Rondeau Blvd. follows a former railway of the Santa Fe Railway company, established in 1888, which had a stop in Pueblo Alberdi, a settlement which was later absorbed by Rosario. It was widened and turned into an arterial road during the administration of mayor Luis Cándido Carballo (1958–1959), following an extensive public works programme.
The boulevard starts at the junction of Alberdi Avenue, Portugal Avenue and Juan B. Justo St., marked by a bust of Lisandro de la Torre. At the end of the boulevard there is a statue of the Virgin of the Rosary, and a sign welcomes the visitors entering Rosario from the north.

# Necrotaxis

Necrotaxis embodies a special type of chemotaxis when the chemoattractant molecules are released from necrotic or apoptotic cells. Investigations of necrotaxis proved that ability to sense substances released from dying cells is present in unicellular level (e.g. Paramecium) as well as in vertebrates (see interactions of leukocytes with corpse of dead cells). Composition of the substances inducing necrotaxis is rather complex, some of them are still obscure. However, depending on the chemical character of molecules released, necrotaxis can accumulate or repel cells, which underlines the pathophysiological significance of the phenomenon. Model experiments of necrotaxis deal with special way of killing the target cells. For this purpose laser irradiation is used frequently. Several mathematical models are also available to describe the special locomotor characteristics of this migratory response of cells.

He also worked as a chaplain in Muckamore Abbey Hospital from 1985 until his dismissal in 2018.

## Controversy

Professor Kirkpatrick was suspended from teaching at Union Theological College in 2018, largely in response to remarks on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme, for which he was subsequently dismissed by the college in 2019, after 22 teaching years, as aspects of his radio interview were judged to constitute "gross misconduct". Specifically, a disciplinary panel held that a statement about same-sex relationships which was not aligned with the doctrinal position of the professor's employer was a serious breach of discipline, as was a failure to defend the college's reputation when its link to Queen's University Belfast was questioned. The dismissal attracted international attention.
