We propose a novel user interface that enables control of a singing voice synthesizer at a live improvisational performance. The user first registers the lyrics of a song with the system before performance, and the system builds a probabilistic model that models the possible jumps within the lyrics. During performance, the user simultaneously inputs the lyrics of a song with the left hand using a vowel keyboard and the melodies with the right hand using a standard musical keyboard. Our system searches for a portion of the registered lyrics whose vowel sequence matches the current user input using the probabilistic model, and sends the matched lyrics to the singing voice synthesizer. The vowel input keys are mapped onto a standard musical keyboard, enabling experienced keyboard players to learn the system from a standard musical score. We examine the feasibility of the system through a series of evaluations and user studies.\n------------------------------This is a preprint of an article intended for publication Journal ofInformation Processing(JIP).

Scurvy is a rare disease caused by a vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in vegetables and fruits, but it is lost after boiling. A 59-year-old man presented with gingival pain after having a tooth extracted five years previously. Following the procedure, his diet comprised boiled vegetables to prevent pain. He then experienced bilateral lower leg pain, and computed tomography revealed intramuscular bleeding. His serum vitamin C level was below the detectable limit. His symptoms immediately improved with vitamin C administration. This case emphasized that consuming only boiled vegetables can lead to the onset of scurvy.

We present the first documented case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) with severe hypertension complicated by polymyositis and systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma. TTP developed in the progressive phase of visceral fibrosis in the absence of skin thickening. ADAMTS13 activity was not useful for the diagnosis of TTP. Although TTP and scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) share similar findings of thrombotic microangiopathy, severe thrombocytopenia with multiple organ injuries and hemorrhagic manifestations suggested TTP rather than SRC. The patient's condition improved dramatically with plasmapheresis.
