The decrease in the incidence of MAS in the period of a decade has been attributed to the reduction in post-term delivery, aggressive management of abnormal heart rate monitoring, and decreased number of infants with a low Apgar score. [4]Elective induction of labour for pregnancies at or beyond 41 weeks has been shown to be associated with significant reduction in the incidence of MAS and fewe...

We survey some recent mathematical works we have contributed to that are related to the modeling of defects in materials science at different scales. We emphasize the similarities (need of a reference, often periodic system; renormalization procedure; etc) shared by models arising in different contexts. Our illustrative examples are taken from electronic structure models, atomistic models, homo...

We study geometric quantization of moduli spaces of vector bundles on an algebraic curve X, and its relation to theta functions. In limits when the complex structure of X degenerates, we describe vector spaces of distributions with Verlinde dimension, associated to the quantization of some of these moduli spaces in real polarizations. We show that special bases on these spaces, defined using a ...

BACKGROUND clinical and biochemical picture of hyperthyroidism in children may significantly change according to its etiologies. OBJECTIVES to report the most recent views about epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical and biochemical course, diagnostic procedures and management of hyperthyroid syndrome in childhood, according to its different etiologies. DESIGN Graves' disease and Hashimoto...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is usually characterized by the triad of precocious puberty (PP), fibrous dysplasia, and café au lait spots. Previous treatments investigated for PP have included aromatase inhibitors and the estrogen receptor modulator, tamoxifen. Although some agents have been partially effective, the optimal pharmacologic treatment of PP in girls with M...
