We report on a female newborn, the youngest patient with Zimmermann-Laband syndrome hitherto reported. She had gingival hyperplasia, bulbous soft nose and ears, hypoplastic toenails, and hyperextensibility of the joints, as well as deep palmar and plantar creases, a sign not previously described in literature.

background and importance: perineural cysts, also known as tarlov cysts, are benign cysts of the spinal cord containing a collection of cerebrospinal fluid. they most frequently originate in the sacral spine and can be asymptomatic. case presentation: we presented a 30-year-old woman who was referred to our clinic with an 8-month history of perianal paresthesia, slowly progressive lower back pa...

The concept of fluctuation-induced effective interactions is extended to systems driven out of equilibrium. We compute the forces experienced by macroscopic objects immersed in a soft material driven by external shaking sources. We show that, in contrast with equilibrium Casimir forces induced by thermal fluctuations, their sign, range, and amplitude depend on specifics of the shaking and can t...

Three children between the ages of 18 months and four years presented with a discharging sinus or sinuses at the wrist due to a 'sacred' thread (the Moli Dhaga) which had been tied around it. This thread had been forgotten by the parents and had become embedded in the soft tissues of the wrist. Plain radiographs showed a circumferential constriction in the soft tissue shadow in all three. In tw...

We consider a class of N=1 supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model in which the soft breaking sector is CP conserving at the GUT scale. We study the question of whether the presence of explicit CP violation in the Yukawa sector of the theory induces through renormalization effects CP violating phases in the soft terms, which could lead to observable effects. A clear pattern appears in t...

background and objective: chronic renal failure (crf) may have many effects on nervous system and manifest as headache, seizure, dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, uremic neuropathy, and some neurologic complications of transplantation. in this present study we investigate neurologic disorders in children with crf. methods: in this descriptive, c...

Tethered Space Robot (TSR), which is connected to a mother spacecraft through a peace of tether, is a new space system proposed in the previous work. Expected applications are satellite servicing, retrieval of debris, inspection of space structure, soft landing, and so on. TSR differs from the existing tethered systems. We envision the tethered subsatellite to be a multi-body system, whose atti...

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a serious disease and is one of the most important causes of early childhood mortality in developing countries. The neurologic manifestations can be propounded as primary symptoms of AGE. In order to determine the rate, clinical presentations, and outcome of patients with AGE who presented with neurologic manifestations and compare them with patients without ...
