1. If SG can be compared with GRACE, considering the resolution of GRACE, there should be “common” signal between the SGs themselves in Europe. The first method is to look for correlation between the SGs, of which the significance can only be tested after removing the annual component 2. Then, we explain that, in the framework of this study, the EOF tool does not provide usable results, with or...

This guideline for care of children with craniosynostosis was developed by a national working group with representatives of 11 matrix societies of specialties and the national patients’ society. All medical aspects of care for nonsyndromic and syndromic craniosynostosis are included, as well as the social and psychologic impact for the patient and their parents. Managerial aspects are incorpora...

The identification of factors that structure intraspecific diversity is of particular interest for biological conservation and restoration ecology. All rangelands in Argentina are currently experiencing some form of deterioration or desertification. Acacia aroma is a multipurpose species widely distributed throughout this country. In this study, we used the AFLP technique to study genetic diver...

Craniosynostosis and the pathological complex with which it is associated in the rabbit are not identical with the abnormalities seen in man; but apparently the two sets of conditions have enough in common to warrant the conclusion that they probably have a common mode of origin. The evidence so far obtained shows that in the rabbit these conditions are hereditary. The factors for the productio...

The objective of this study was to determine whether children with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis and plagiocephaly without synostosis demonstrated cognitive and psychomotor delays when compared with a standardized population sample. This was the initial assessment of a larger prospective study, which involved 21 subjects with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (mean age, 10.9 months) and 42 subjects...

RESULTS: Early data acquisition was plagued by motion artifact and physiologic perturbation confounding the results. The focus of this report compares clean preand post-operative datasets in the same individual; preliminary analysis confirms improved resting state connectivity in both the visual and sensorimotor networks, both in amplitude of BOLD signal and the extent of the networks. Furtherm...

Using an animal model system and depletion-rescue strategies, we have addressed the requirement and functions of armadillo repeat gene deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome (ARVCF) and p120 catenins in early vertebrate embryogenesis. We find that xARVCF and Xp120 are essential to development given that depletion of either results in disrupted gastrulation and axial elongation, which are specif...

The article is devoted to the surgical treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis in children. Among non-syndromic monosynostosis sagittal craniosynostosis (scaphocephaly) is the most common. Treatment of children with craniosynostosis should begin as soon as possible. Endoscopic method refers to minimally invasive technique in surgical correction of craniosynostosis. This article presents a featur...

Digital technologies have increased the pace of knowledge creation, sharing, and the way in which learning is being undertaken. This chapter considers how Serious Games (SGs) as a digital technology endeavours to support effective lifelong learning. Three fundamental characteristics of the SG ecosystem, namely, game mechanics, interoperability, and assessment, are considered here as strategic e...
