Hypophosphatasia is a rare hereditary disorder of bone metabolism.In this article, we presented the case of a male infant with a soft skull and short, deformed limbs at birth, followed by seizures and respiratory distress during admission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Prenatal ultrasound showed limb hypoplasia, skull hypomineralization, and polyhydramnios. Seizures occurred on day...

AIMS To evaluate behavioural outcome and quality of life in children aged 8-14 years after neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. METHODS Sixty children operated as neonates with combined deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and low flow cardiopulmonary bypass were evaluated at age 7.9-14.3 years by the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and the Inventory for...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine the unique impact of financial difficulties as measured by a lack of money for basic needs on the occurrence of health problems between the ages of 17 and 29 months, controlling for mother's level of education and neonatal health problems. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS Analyses were performed on the 29 month data of the Quebec longitudinal study of child development. Thi...

Let F denote the class of all functions univalent in the unit disk and convex in the direction of the real axis. In the paper we discuss the functions of the class F which are n-fold symmetric, where n is positive even integer. For the class of such functions we find the Koebe set as well as the covering set, i.e. T f2F f ðDÞ and S f2F f ðDÞ. Moreover, the Koebe constant and the covering consta...

For every fixed graph H, we determine the H-covering number of Kn, for all n > n0(H). We prove that if h is the number of edges of H, and gcd(H) = d is the greatest common divisor of the degrees of H, then there exists n0 = n0(H), such that for all n > n0, C(H,Kn) = d dn 2h dn− 1 d ee, unless d is even, n = 1 mod d and n(n− 1)/d+ 1 = 0 mod (2h/d), in which case C(H,Kn) = d ( n 2 ) h e+ 1. Our m...

Adolescence is a time of dramatic physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes as well as a time for the development of many social-emotional problems. These characteristics raise compelling questions about accompanying neural changes that are unique to this period of development. Here, we propose that studying adolescent-specific changes in face processing and its underlying neural circu...
