TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the porous medium equation has a gradient flow structure which is both physically and mathematically natural, and they use the intuition and the calculus of Riemannian geometry to quantify this asymptotic behavior.
Abstract: We show that the porous medium equation has a gradient flow structure which is both physically and mathematically natural. In order to convince the reader that it is mathematically natural, we show that the time asymptotic behavior can be easily understood in this framework. We use the intuition and the calculus of Riemannian geometry to quantify this asymptotic behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the local and global Cauchy problem for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation with initial data in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Besov spaces is considered.
Abstract: We consider the local and global Cauchy problem for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation , with initial data in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Besov spaces. This allows us to slightly extend ...

TL;DR: In this paper, an elementary derivation of Bakry-Emery type conditions, results concerning perturbations of invariant measures with general admissible entropies, sharpness of convex Sobolev inequalities, applications to non-symmetric linear and certain non-linear Fokker-Planck type equations (Desai-Zwanzig model, drift-diffusion-Poisson model).
Abstract: It is well known that the analysis of the large-time asymptotics of Fokker-Planck type equations by the entropy method is closely related to proving the validity of convex Sobolev inequalities. Here we highlight this connection from an applied PDE point of view. In our unified presentation of the theory we present new results to the following topics: an elementary derivation of Bakry-Emery type conditions, results concerning perturbations of invariant measures with general admissible entropies, sharpness of convex Sobolev inequalities, applications to non-symmetric linear and certain non-linear Fokker-Planck type equations (Desai-Zwanzig model, drift-diffusion-Poisson model).

TL;DR: The objective of this study is to critically re‐examine the literature reporting the incidence of infantile hemangiomas to determine if the true incidence is actually known and to more accurately define the incidence and potential impact of this common vascular tumor of infancy.
Abstract: No published prospective studies have been published for several decades examining the incidence of hemangiomas. Older studies were performed before the delineation of "hemangiomas" from other vascular birthmarks was well-established. The objective of our study is to critically re-examine the literature reporting the incidence of infantile hemangiomas to determine if the true incidence is actually known. We performed both an electronic database search and hand search of the medical literature on the natural history of hemangiomas in full-term newborns and infants. A total of seven articles were found comprising two study populations: newborns 500 patients including both hospital-based and primary care settings. Study designs ranged from retrospective chart reviews to cross-sectional cohort studies. Descriptive nomenclature was not uniform between studies, and all had methodologic limitations including problems of definition and study design. Studies estimating the true incidence of infantile hemangiomas are all many decades old and have significant methodologic issues limiting their ability to determine hemangioma incidence. Future studies in primary care settings using the currently accepted classification schema of vascular birthmarks may more accurately define the incidence and potential impact of this common vascular tumor of infancy.

TL;DR: Targeting parents and caregivers with education and psychosocial support can decrease family and personal burden, which in turn may decrease the cost of treating the condition because of better medical, psychossocial, and family outcomes.
Abstract: Atopic dermatitis is a common disease of increasing prevalence. Affected individuals must cope with a significant psychosocial burden, in addition to dealing with the medical aspects of the disease. Furthermore, because this is primarily a disease of childhood, family members, especially parents, are also affected by the condition. Individuals and family members are burdened with time-consuming treatment regimens for the disease, as well as dietary and household changes. The financial impact of atopic dermatitis on families can also be great. Moreover, the cost to society is significant, with estimates ranging from less than $100 to more than $2000 per patient per year. It is estimated that the direct cost of atopic dermatitis in the United States alone is almost $1 billion per year. Reducing the onus of this disease must take into account the full breadth of its burden. Targeting parents and caregivers with education and psychosocial support can decrease family and personal burden, which in turn may decrease the cost of treating the condition because of better medical, psychosocial, and family outcomes.
