They describe a unique case of the two syndromes occurring concurrently though apparently independently in a girl with Van der Woude syndrome and pituitary insufficiency associated with clefts before correctly diagnosing Turner syndrome [2]. Typical blind fistulas of the lower lip,...

Whether Van Gogh (1853–1890) had epilepsy has been subject to doubt and conjecture in the fields of art and medicine. Even epileptologists have had divergent views. Gastaut admitted that Van Gogh had epilepsy, but considered that his seizures were triggered by alcohol [1–3], whereas according to Hughes, Van Gogh more likely suffered from fainting fits [4]. The recent edition of Van Gogh's corre...

417 Human auditory localization is remarkably accurate, even in complete darkness under open-loop conditions1–4 (Fig. 2; see also Methods). This performance may rival that of the barn owl, a well studied nocturnal hunter that relies heavily on its auditory system to capture prey. Yet, quite different localization mechanisms are used by each species. In barn owls, sound azimuth (horizontal direc...

A sequence of throws of a die will look very irregular and chaotic to us; even if we already observed the outcomes of a thousand throws, we are not in a position to predict the outcome of the next throw. We might call this phenomenon local irregularity, or disorder. However, even though we cannot predict the outcome of the next throw, we feel confident that in the long run, the relative frequen...

We are interested in the special Heun equation, " special " means that all exponent differences are odd multiples of 1/2. Heun means 4 regular singularities.

W, Connolly R. Concerns with the use of a toxic equivalency factor (TEF) approach for risk assessment of "dioxin-like" compounds. In our paper, "Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs) for PCBs, PCDDs, PCDFs for Humans and Wildlife" (1), we described the results of a World Health Organization (WHO) working group that evaluated the existing TEFs for human risk assessment and derived consensus TEFs for ...

On December 24, 1888, a patient was admitted to the Hotel Dieu Hospital in Arles, France, brought in by the police because of reports that he had cut off his ear and given it to a woman. The patient was the Dutch painter, Vincent Van Gogh. The doctor on call was Dr. Felix Rey, a young “interne en medicine,” age 21 (Figure 1). Van Gogh had mutilated the lower part of his ear. Dr. Rey had earlier...

In pursuing policies of trade liberalisation and growth promotion within the framework of regional economic integration, WTO membership and globalisation, major Asian developing economies and China in particular had achieved economic ‘miracles’ in the past decades. Recently however, they face many challenges, economically and politically (Tran Van Hoa, 2002), compounded by a global (especially ...

In 1992, experts at the National Science Foundation Workshop titled "Low-Frequency Electrical Precursors to Earthquakes: Fact or Fiction?" concluded that "seismic electric signals observed in Greece are generated in the Earth, and the apparent correlation with earthquakes is promising" [Park, 1992]. On March 5 and 26,1993, strong earthquakes hit Pirgos City, Greece. Despite heavy damage, there ...
