Treacher Collins syndrome is characterized by the congenital hypoplasia of the zygomatic and mandible bones. It is a syndrome with a concise clinical presentation and mostly surgical treatment.

The following problem is considered: when can the action of a cancellative semigroup S on a set be extended to a simply transitive action of the universal group of S on a larger set.

No doubt in institutions these days it takes more than brandishing the psychoanalytical referent, all be it Lacanian, in order to be heard.
