Pulmonary agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is absence of pulmonary parenchyma as well as its bold vessels. It is an unusual cause of respiratory distress in newborn. Unilateral agenesis of lung is often associated with other congenital anomalies. The condition may lead to diagnostic difficulties.   Right pulmonary agenesis has poor prognosis.

Cryptophthalmos is the congenital absence of eyelid with skin passing continuously from the head to the cheeks over a malformed eye.

(1.2) the ranges of f and g are identical on almost all OK/p. The most trivial cases are where g(x) = f(ax + b) for some a, b ∈ Q̄, the algebraic numbers. When K = Q, mostly that relation forces a, b∈K. For example this holds when f is indecomposable (not a composite of lower degree polynomials). With the indecomposability assumption, solutions to Davenport’s and Schinzel’s problems were essenti...
