Bilateral renal agenesis leads to anhydramnios and other sequelae including pulmonary hypoplasia. There have been rare case reports of normal pulmonary function in the presence of bilateral renal agenesis in monoamniotic discordant twins, but this has never been reported in a singleton pregnancy. The few reported cases in twins have all been fatal in the neonatal period with no reported cases o...

A qualitative diagnosis of infertility requires attention to female and male physical abnormalities, endocrine anomalies and genetic conditions that interfere with reproduction. Many genes are likely to be involved in the complex process of reproduction. Cystic fibrosis (CF) incidence varies in different White people populations (a higher incidence of CF is observed in northern–western European...

Results: Our model predicts that there are plausible conditions under which serial amnioinfusion is cost effective for bilateral renal agenesis. Threshold analysis revealed that serial amnioinfusion must achieve gestational-age appropriate lung function in 12% of cases for intervention to be cost-effective. Time on dialysis, probability of survival to transplant, overall life expectancy and qua...

A detailed quantitative analysis was made of the lungs from 8 infants dying with bilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia. Total lung volume was reduced in all cases, particularly in those with renal agenesis. In both groups there was a reduction in number of airway generations, indicating interference with development at between 12 and 16 weeks' gestation. The alveoli in each acinus were reduced ...

Title: Prenatal diagnosis of fetal unilateral lung agenesis complicated with cardiac malposition

A non-commutative version of the Bernštĕın-GelfandGelfand (BGG) correspondence is set up, and a sample application is given to periodic injective resolutions. 0. Introduction The Bernštĕın-Gelfand-Gelfand correspondence is surprising. It gives an equivalence of categories gr(E) ≃ D(coh P). This was proved in [4, thm. 2] and as always, to explain such a formula requires lots of words. On the lef...
