globin loci revealed that the fetus had inherited the mother’s (ε,γ,δ,β)° thal and an anti -3.7 α-triplication from the father (Figure 1). Two intrauterine RBC transfusions were performed at weeks 22 and 29. Hydrops did not recur and growth was satisfactory. The baby was born by caesarean section at 35 weeks and was well without hepatosplenomegaly; his Hb was 9.3 g/dL, reticulocyte count 356 10...

Soft errors that affect flip-flops are a major issue in advanced electronic circuits. As technology scales, multiple bit errors become more likely. This limits the applicability of traditional protection techniques like triplication with voting or single error correction codes that can correct only one error. Multiple errors tend to affect adjacent bits, and therefore it is interesting to use e...

A patient with a complete right ureteral triplication presented with recurrent pyelonephritis and flank pain that was refractory to medical management. Evaluation showed that the atrophic upper-most renal moiety had been chronically obstructed and was associated with a dilated ureter. Intraureteral and intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) were used as real-time contrast agents intraoperatively t...

Alpha-globin genes in crab-eating macaques’were found to be triplicated at high frequencies according to restriction-enzyme comparisons. The frequencies of triplicated a-globin genes in macaques originally from Malaysia and Indonesia were 0.432 and 0.275, respectively, while no triplication was found in individuals from either the Philippines or northern and central Thailand. Quadruplicated a-g...

Transverse component bodywave ground displacements from deep focus earthquakes exhibit complexities which are not accounted for by standard radially symmetric Earth models. This anomalous behavior is examined using 123 broadband teleseismic SH displacement recordings, reconstituted from shortand long-period or broadband seismograms for 11 events in the Kurile subduction zone. The greatest compl...

Ureteral duplication is a comparatively frequent urinary tract anomaly. Ureteral triplication is rare, but quadruplication is extremely rare. In this study, we describe a case of ureteral quintuplication, the first such report in the English-language literature. A newborn female baby was diagnosed with left ureteral quintuplication. The left ureter was divided into 5 ureters with 5 renal pelvis...

Aneurysms of the distal anterior cerebral artery (dACA) are rare, consisting only 2-6% of all intracranial aneurysms. dACA aneurysms are often associated with anomalies such as azygous, bihemispheric and triplication of ACA. Among these anomalies accessory anterior cerebral artery (accACA) is an anatomical variant found in 3.3% to 15% of the population. Here we report a case of a 60-year-old fe...

This paper provides a model and an analytical study of replication as a technique to detect and correct silent errors, as well as to cope with both silent and fail-stop errors on large-scale platforms. Fail-stop errors are immediately detected, unlike silent errors for which a detection mechanism is required. To detect silent errors, many application-specific techniques are available, either ba...

Objectives. Check with hematological data that the diagnosis and clinical grade of β-thalassemia intermedia can be established when a triplication genes alpha (αααanti 3.7) heterozygous are coherent. Methods. Retrospective study in which 73 patients Caucasian origin participated, who simultaneously showed tripling or quadrupling α β-thalassemia. Screening for most frequent α-thalassemia mutatio...
