In stochastic processes, chaos theory and time series analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a signal.
Sore throats caused by tonsillitis or streptococcus may trigger a canker sore even after the initial throat condition has subsided. Also known as an aphthous ulcer, canker sores are painful and unsightly, but they are not contagious.
(Redirected from Canker sore) Aphthous stomatitis is a common condition characterized by the repeated formation of benign and non-contagious mouth ulcers (aphthae) in otherwise healthy individuals. The informal term canker sores is also used, mainly in North America, although this may also refer to any mouth ulcer.
