Abstract:
Alemtuzumab is a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and is associated with secondary autoimmune adverse events. We report a novel case of secondary autoimmune myositis that occurred seven months after the initial treatment cycle and achieved full recovery with oral corticosteroids. This particular form of myositis appears to be unique, and is likely to be a distinct entity from the other four types of immune-mediated myositis.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Multiple Voltage Sources
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...
