Anhidrotic cctodcrmal dysplasia (AED) is a rare disorder characterised by a constellation ofdefect' involving the teeth. skin and appendageal structures. We report a child who had typical lealllrcs of this disorder.

The two mean responses after the stimulus differ for the two conditions as expected. As can be seen however, the mean EDA preceding the exposure of an extreme picture also significantly differs from the mean EDA preceding a calm picture. Several hypotheses for this anomaly have been explored. For example, the composition of a sequence of calm and extreme pictures preceding a particular stimulus...

Dentin dysplasia is an exceptionally rare, autosomal-dominant, hereditary condition, primarily characterized by defective dentin formation affecting both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. The etiology remains imprecise to date, in spite of the numerous hypotheses put forward and the constant updates on this condition. This case report of type I dentin dysplasia exhibits radiographic findi...

Patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and Tabby (Ta) mice lack sweat glands and there is compelling evidence that these phenotypes are caused by mutations in the same highly conserved but unidentified X-linked gene. Previous studies showed that exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) reversed the Ta phenotype but the EGF status in HED patients has not been studied at all. Studie...

We report the case of a 28-year-old female with progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, who presented with history of a similar neuromuscular condition. Clinical, radiological and molecular data confirmed Camurati-Engelmann Disease (CED). This is the first Romanian family who was diagnosed with CED.

Across industries, a shift from business-to-business exchanges operated by independent agents to companyor consortia-run exchanges can be observed. Procurement platforms represent a major share of these exchanges. However, the design of these platforms remains a difficult task since interests of both the buyer and supplier side have to be considered. In this paper, we introduce the case of clic...

We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who had a bone marrow examination performed to investigate marked thrombocytopenia in the context of a recent history of metastatic glucagonoma. Surprisingly this identified marked dysmegakaryopoiesis and fulfilled diagnostic criteria for refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, with a relatively uncommon associated cytogenetic lesion t(1;7). ...
