Marshall-Smith syndrome (MSS) is a rare clinical disorder, characterized by accelerated skeletal maturation, facial anomalies, failure to thrive and death in early infancy due to respiratory complications. We experienced the difficult airway case with MSS. A 4-year-old boy underwent tenosynovectomy for the snapping finger. Although his upper airway was diagnosed as almost normal on the fiber-op...

ABSTRACf The National Agricultural Statistics Service used LANDSAT multispectral scanner (MSS) data to aid regression estimates of acreage for major crops during 1980-1987. Future LANDSAT satellites will not have the MSS scanner, but will have a thematic mapper (TM) scanner. TM data is more expensive to purchase and process for large areas because of its higher spatial and spectral resolution. ...

BACKGROUND Although colon cancer (CC) with microsatellite instability (MSI) has a more favorable prognosis than microsatellite stable (MSS) CC, the impact varies according to clinicopathological parameters. We studied how MSI status affects prognosis in a trial-based cohort of stage II and III CC patients treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin or FOLFIRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue s...

To evaluate the interactions between hydrogen and mechanical behavior of additively manufactured (AM) 17-4PH martensitic stainless steel (MSS), stress-relaxation tests were performed for both non-charged hydrogen-charged samples. Similar conventional MSS counterpart (CM). The results clearly indicated significant differences in relaxation properties CM AM MSSs H900 state, which attributed to hi...
