Data from the Finnish Register of Congenital Malformations for the years 1965-73 were used in a search for associations between environmental influences and defects of the central nervous system (CNS). The material consisted of 710 cases of CNS defects and their matched-pair controls. Moreover, and 'internal' control group of 259 cases of polydactyly and their matched-pair controls were used. T...

this study assesses the air quality of two urban localities, fahaheel and al-rabia city, to assistlocal authorities to generate information supporting the planning of pollution control strategies to keeppollutants within safe limits in the long run. in terms of diurnal and seasonal variations, almost all measured pollutants exhibited two peaks: one in the morning and another in the afternoon. t...

abstract bachground: the main objective of this study was to define the clinical changes of facial deformity in patients older than 5 years with congenital torticollis treated by proximal and distal sternocleidomastoid tenotomy. methods: we retrospectively evaluated fifteen patients who had had an open tenotomy of the sternal and clavicular and mastoid origins of the sternocleidomastoid muscle ...

BACKGROUND Although the incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias associated with structural heart disease is highest in winter and during the daytime, seasonal and circadian variations among cardiac events in patients with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) remain unknown. The present study aims to determine seasonal and circadian cardiac events in patients with a congenital LQTS genotype. M...

OBJECTIVES In this observational study, we evaluated the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, and blood pressure of children with cyanotic congenital heart disease who were undergoing dental extraction. METHODS Forty-four patients between the ages of 6 and 12 years who underwent upper primary tooth extraction were included in the study. Of these, 20 patients were in the cyanotic c...

BACKGROUND/AIM Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect. Many studies have reported GATA4 mutations in patients with CHD, mainly septal defects. This study aimed to investigate the GATA4 exon 1 mutation in Egyptian patients with isolated congenital heart defects as a possible causative mutation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screening for mutations or any sequence variations in exon 1 ...

BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries (CAs) are rare and are often diagnosed incidentally during a conventional coronary angiography. Recently, the incidence of these congenital defects is on the rise particularly after the introduction of the electrocardiography (ECG) gated coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). This innovative radiological screening modality has ...

PATIENT Female, 50 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Double superior vena cava Symptoms: - MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Nephrology. OBJECTIVE Anatomical anomaly/variation. BACKGROUND Superior vena cava anomalies are caused by variations in the development of the embryonic thoracic venous system. Duplication of the superior vena cava is a rare anomaly with an incidence in the general popul...
