Background: Plagiocephaly is a condition where the cranium has been malformed because of external forces or premature cranial suture fusion. This study’s objective was to gather and examine data regarding parent caregiver awareness plagiocephaly its potential impact on development as well determine their rate concern for positional flattening.

The Italian National Centre for Information Technology in Public Administration (CNIPA) introduced the concept of Local Alliances for Innovation (ALI) as the tool for the inclusion of small municipalities in the spread of E-Government in Italy. Based on the CNIPA’s definition, the paper discusses the concept of ALI as an organizational model that can be resorted to in order to reduce the admini...

Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), have high mortality rates with few treatment options. A crucial factor in the pathology observed in ALI/ARDS is a disruption of the pulmonary endothelial barrier which causes leakage of fluid, protein and cells into lung airspaces. Degradation of the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) by hyaluronidase e...

The hypothesis of inherent motility of the cranium has been supported by palpation of the living head. The hypothesis that a rhythm synchronous with the arterial pulse and another associated with thoracic respiration might be detected is in accord with known physiologic phenomena. The report of a third palpable rhythm, slower than either pulse or respiration, required more study. This article r...

We discuss the current implementation of the ALI method into our HYDrodynamical RAdiation (Hydra) code for rapidly expanding, low density envelopes commonly found in core collapse and thermonuclear supernovae, novae and WR stars. Due to the low densities, non-thermal excitation by high energy photons (e.g. from radioactive decays) and the time dependence of the problem, significant departures f...

Gunshot wounds to the cranium are one of the leading cause of death and disability in young adults. Stray bullets are also being increasingly seen in clinical setting. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy who sustained a stray bullet to the cranium during election festivities. He arrived at the health care facility institution nearly 24 hours after the event in good neurological condition. He ...
