Two cases of bizarre skeletal anomalies associated with intestinal malformation are presented. One patient had ileal atresia and Hirschsprung's disease, and the other anorectal malformation. Abnormalities in the number and morphology of ribs and vertebrae were present. Esophageal atresia often is associated with skeletal abnormalities, including supernumerary ribs, but these usually are not sev...

Very few studies have shown associations between autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Chiari 1 malformation. Here, we report an 10-year-old male that presented after having seizures with a history of Chiari 1 malformation, autism spectrum disorder and ADHD with moderate mental retardation and speech delay.

Abstract Malformations of cortical development are rarely diagnosed in utero. Cortical malformations aberrations the process corticogenesis. We report two rare and unique cases evolving malformation with unusual ultrasonogram markers: (1) narrow cavum septum pellucidum (2) ill-defined irregular lateral ventricular borders on midtrimester anomaly scan. This was further confirmed by fetal brain e...

Numerous studies show that semi-natural habitats within agricultural landscapes benefit native pollinating insects and increase resultant crop pollination services. More recently, evidence is emerging diversification techniques on farms, as well increased compositional configurational heterogeneity the cropped portion of landscapes, enhance pollinator communities. However, to date, only a few h...
