Osteoarticular lesion in xanthoma disseminatum treated with total hip arthroplasty: a case report
Introduction
Xanthoma disseminatum is a very rare disease classified as a benign non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which is rarely associated with osteoarticular lesions. There is only a report of tumor abrasion during treatment of osteoarticular lesions of this disease, artificial joint replacement has not been reported. We describe a patient in whom bilateral total joint replacement was performed for disseminated xanthoma lesions of the hip joints.
Case presentation
A 34-year-old Japanese woman had a chief complaint of bilateral coxalgia. She had been diagnosed as having disseminated xanthoma. Radiographs showed numerous 5-mm radiolucent bands that resembled worm-eaten tracks in the lower part of the femoral heads adjacent to the joint surface. In addition, short tau inversion recovery imaging scans showed high-intensity areas from the femoral head to the neck in both femurs, suggesting bone marrow edema. Total hip arthroplasty was performed for hip arthrosis on both hip joints caused by disseminated xanthoma. Deflection of the implants was a concern from the early stages postoperatively, but both the imaging and clinical findings have been satisfactory for 4 years of follow-up.
Conclusions
A very unusual hip joint lesion of xanthoma disseminatum was replaced with a total artificial joint replacement, and the course over 4 years was good. Our patient’s course will continue to be followed carefully.

Confidence Bands for the Reliability Function of a Two-Parameter Exponential Model
This paper considers the problem of constructing confidence bands for the reliability function of a two-parameter exponential distribution, which is widely used in reliability analysis. Both two-sided confidence bands and lower and upper one-sided confidence bands are considered with an exact confidence level. These confidence bands allow simultaneous inferences at the specified confidence level for all points on the reliability function. They also allow simultaneous inferences for all quantiles of the reliability function. The confidence bands are generated from an exact confidence set for the two parameters of the exponential distribution. Optimal minimum area confidence sets are derived for the two-sided case. These methodologies are applicable for a complete data set or a data set with type II censoring, and they are illustrated with some examples.

Concert runs like clockwork
At Riot Fest, they ran through a career that nodded to punk, hard-core, glam, country and saloon ballads (not for nothing did they enter to Frank Sinatra's \"That's Life\"), and worked in snippets of Jimi Hendrix's \"Third Stone From the Sun\" and Hank Williams Sr.'s \"Hey Good Lookin',\" while covering songs from Chuck Berry and U.K. punks Sham 69.

[...]they seem to be admitting that all that previous effort just doesn't cut the mustard. Because this year, the geniuses in Richmond have hit upon a new scheme, pushed by Gov. Bob McDonnell and Sen. Bill Stanley, R-Franklin County: letter grades for every public school in the commonwealth. [...]I gave some area school board members and administrators that opportunity this week.

The sport of gymnastics is still primarily a white sport though if you look at these young girls preparing for the London Olympic Games, we have a young African-American gymnast in Gabby Douglas, who's leading the way.
