We conducted five experiments in order to explore the generalizability of a new type of search asymmetry, which we have termed sequential search asymmetry, across sensory modalities, and to better understand its origin. In all five experiments rare oddballs occurred randomly within longer sequences of more frequent standards. Oddballs and standards all consisted of rapidly-presented runs of fiv...

Introduction Isolated congenital absence of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is a rare condition. The diagnosis results from a review of the past medical and surgical history in addition to the use of multimodality imaging, as several other conditions (thrombotic occlusion, surgical or percutaneous exclusion, variations in morphology and relative position of anatomic structures) may present with...

AIM The aim of the work was a presentation of one case with Thrombocytopenia absent radius (TAR) syndrome. METHODS Diagnosis of TAR syndrome has been established on the basis of pedigree, laboratory findings (hemogram, platelet count, peripheral smear), bone marrow biopsy, radiological examination and karyotype. RESULTS A patient was a two months old female child, hospitalized due petechial...

Absence of an infrarenal inferior vena cava is an infrequent finding on computed tomography scans and is usually an unexpected, incidental finding. This report concerns a young patient with an absent infrarenal inferior vena cava who presented with abdominal and back pain.

INTRODUCTION SPOAN (spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy) syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder identified in a large consanguineous Brazilian family. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with SPOAN syndrome (20 women), aged 4-58 years, underwent nerve conduction studies (NCS) of the median, ulnar, tibial, and fibular nerves, and sensory NCS of the median, ulnar,...

OBJECT Although infant abandonment is a historical problem, we know remarkably little about the conditions or effects of abandonment to guide evidence driven policies. This paper briefly reviews the existing international evidence base with reference to potential mental health considerations before mapping current UK guidelines and procedures, and available incidence data. Limitations arising f...

congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. the prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. we report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...
