Standard Northern Lisu has two series of palatal sibilants: (alveolo-)palatals [t ̊ t ̊æ d ̊ ] and palato-alveolars [t∆ t∆æ dÔ ∆ Ô]. The phonemic status of the latter is questionable, since they are in complementary distribution with the former, occurring only before vowels [u] and [Ω]. The vowel [Ω] is itself in complemetary distribution with [i], occurring only after the palatoalveolars. Thus ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is the key mechanism for fusion and confluence of the rodent palate. During this process, medial edge epithelia (MEE) form a midline seam that subsequently transforms to mesenchymal cells. We studied syndecan-1 and E-cadherin, two molecules which have been shown to promote the epithelial phenotype, to determine their fate during palatal EMT. We found ...

Patients with impacted ectopic canines often present to Orthodontic and Oral and Maxillofacial units, with 85% being displaced palatally. Current orthodontic opinion suggests that the creation of adequate space ultimately allows the spontaneous eruption of most impacted canines, but we are often requested to operate to facilitate their eruption. There are several approaches, techniques that var...

Polish and Taiwanese Mandarin are two languages well known for the three-way distinction of sibilant fricatives (Ladefoged and Maddieson 1996): apical dental [s], laminal1 flat post-alveolar (retroflex) [ù], and laminal palatalized postalveolar (alveolo-palatal) [C]. Although these two languages are historically unrelated, their sibilants share a lot of auditory similarities (Ladefoged and Madd...

BACKGROUND Myoclonus may occur after hypoxia. In 1963, Lance and Adams described persistent myoclonus with other features after hypoxia. However, myoclonus occurring immediately after hypoxia may demonstrate different syndromic features from classic Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS). The aim of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the spectrum of myoclonus occurring after hypoxia wit...

Myoclonus refers to sudden, brief, shock-like involuntary movements, caused by muscular contractions (positive myoclonus) or inhibitions (negative myoclonus) arising from the central nervous system. This definition excludes the muscular twitches or fasciculation due to lesions of the lower motor neurons. 1 Myoclonus has been observed in patients with various neurological conditions including ep...

conclusions intravenous etomidate 0.03 mg/kg prior to induction can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of myoclonus linked to etomidate. results the incidence and intensity of myoclonus were significantly lower in the low-dose etomidate group. the incidence rates of myoclonus were 51 (71.85%), 61 (85.9%), 30 (42.3%) and 41 (57.7%), and the percentages of patients who experienced grad...
