Steven johnson Syndrome
Abstract: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an immune-complex–mediated hypersensitivity complex that typically involves the skin and the mucous membranes. While minor presentations may occur, significant involvement of oral, nasal, eye, vaginal, urethral, gastrointestinal, and lower respiratory tract mucous membranes may develop during the illness. GI and respiratory involvement may progress to necrosis. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a serious systemic disorder with the potential for severe morbidity and even death.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Mefenamic Acid Crystals
Abstract: Single crystals of mefenamic acid were crystallized by gel growth method for the first time in literature. Crystal structure was confirmed using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Kinetic analysis was made from the isothermal thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) data using Coats–Redfern (CR) relation. Thermodynamic parameters were also determined. Arrhenius equation for mefenamic acid is k = 0.28 × 109 e–116551/RT mol–1s–1. Keywords: kinetic analysis, mefenamic acid, thermal analysis
