Abstract

Erythema Multiforme is a rare, acute, inflammatory mucocutaneous condition caused by a hypersensitivity reaction with the appearance of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the epithelium that induce apoptosis in keratinocytes, which leads to satellite cell necrosis. Reactions to drugs are quite common and are generally mild, hence not reported. However, occasionally life threatening reactions including Erythema multiforme major (Steven Johnson's syndrome) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis may occur. A wide spectrum of drugs can sometimes give rise to Erythema Multiforme. We report a case of Erythema Multiforme following administration of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.

Abstract

Objectives: To present an overview on interfacing of MATLAB and commercial electromagnetic software packages (such as CST microwave studio). Methods/Statistical Analysis: This type of interfacing requires a scripting language interface termed as VBA script. An example for the design of an inset microstrip patch antenna is demonstrated in this paper using VBA. The controlling of CST microwave studio is done using MATLAB which calls microstrip patch antenna design along with its performance parameters such as S₁₁ parameter, VSWR, power requirement, radiation pattern, return losses etc. Findings: The interface created between CST and MATLAB worked well and antenna parameters can be called in MATLAB to operate on them. Improvements: Further optimization algorithm can be performed on this in order to get optimized real time performance of antenna.
