A known case of Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome was scheduled for emergency repair of obstructed paraumblical hernia. We describe the anaesthetic management of the case with special reference to the classic physical and physiological manifestations of this syndrome present in our patient.

We describe an infant with multiple dysmorphic features who is mosaic for duplication 17q21.1----qter, owing to a direct tandem duplication. He is the first case with mosaicism for a 17q duplication to be reported. His features are strikingly suggestive of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.

We study to what extent dielectric nanoparticles prefer to self-assemble into linear chains or into more compact structures. To calculate the Van der Waals (VdW) attraction between the clusters we use the Coupled Dipole Method (CDM), which treats each atom in the nanoparticle as an inducible oscillating point dipole. The VdW attraction then results from the full many-body interactions between t...

The aim of this study was to assess whether age-related differences in reaction time can be explained satisfactorily in terms of a global age-related differences in processing speed alone. We investigated the age-related differences in simple, discrimination and choice reaction time in 4to 6-year-old children and young adults using approach proposed by Madden et al. and Ridderinkhoff & van der ...
