cranio-spondylo-tubular dysostosis a unique historic iranian giant

Cranio-facial Dysostosis in a Dorset Family.

Crouzon (1912), whose name has been given to the combination of developmental anomalies which he described as hereditary cranio-facial dysostosis, presented his first two cases to the Societe Medicale des H6pitals de Paris. The patients, a mother aged 29 years and her son aged 21 years, had a malformation of the cranial vault consisting of protrusion in the region of the bregma, widening transv...

Zoorkhaneh: Historic Training in Iranian Culture

Zoorkhaneh is a Persian type of sports club where athletes undergo rigorous regiment training. The term Zoorkhaneh refers to the place of practice, which means "House of Strength" in English. The ritual is lead by a musician who chants sacred poetry while keeping time on a drum and ringing bells to mark the beginning of different sections. Zoorkhaneh sports have the factors issued to health (Mu...

A Unique Advantage for Giant Eyes in Giant Squid

Giant and colossal deep-sea squid (Architeuthis and Mesonychoteuthis) have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom [1, 2], but there is no explanation for why they would need eyes that are nearly three times the diameter of those of any other extant animal. Here we develop a theory for visual detection in pelagic habitats, which predicts that such giant eyes are unlikely to evolve for detecting ...

Giant parallel tubular arrays in T lymphocytes.

A 77-year-old man with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis was investigated for mild pancytopenia. He had mild splenomegaly, but no adenopathy. Hemoglobin was 117 g/L, platelets 126 109/L, and leukocytes 2.0 109/L with 96% lymphocytes, most of which were large granular lymphocytes (LGLs). Immunophenotyping showed an aberrant T-cell population co-expressing CD3, CD8, and CD57 with reduced expressi...

A Case Report: Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis

Introduction: Nager syndrome is a malformation resulting from problems in the development of the first and second branchial arches and limb buds. The cause of the abnormal development of the pharyngeal arches in Nager syndrome is unknown. It is also unclear why affected individuals have bone abnormalities in their arms and legs. Nager syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive inherita...
