Eighteen percent of heart specimens with isolated ventricular septal defect also had a floppy mitral valve. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of floppy mitral valve in the three age groups considered (less than 1 year, 1 to 16 years and 17 to 91 years). In no patient was a floppy mitral valve considered to be the cause of death. Complications of floppy mitral valve (ruptured ...

Little has been added to the knowledge of the treatment of renal rickets since the paper by Graham and Oakley (1938), and the reader is referred to their work for a summary of the previous literature of this condition. Whether or not in fact rickets is the principal bony lesion has been questioned by Langmead and Orr (1933). From a morbid anatomical study, they concluded that osteitis fibrosa w...

Virgin females of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma turkestanica produce minute amounts of a sex pheromone, the identity of which has not been fully established. The enantioselective synthesis of a putative component of this pheromone, (6S,8S,10S)-4,6,8,10-tetramethyltrideca-2E,4E-dien-1-ol (2), is reported as a contribution to this identification. Catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of meth...

Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...

in this report we explain a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 45 years old diabetic woman that was initially presented with recurrent nephrolithiasis of more than 10 years duration leading to right complete and left partial nephrectomy and complicated by end-stage renal failure. after diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid adenectomy, she developed severe hypocalcaemia ...
