We describe additional phenotypic features in a boy and his mother. Both manifested the phenotypic/genotypic correlation of oto-palato-digital syndrome type II. The mother's radiographs showed wormian bones of the skull, and paranasal bossing, her feet showed bilateral fusion of the cuboid with the lateral cuneiform bone with subsequent development of metatarsus varus associated with dysplastic...

uterine growth retardation, breech presentation, failure to thrive, vomiting in infancy, microcephaly, mental deficiency, blepharoptosis, short nose with a broad bridge and anteverted nares, broad maxillary alveolus, micrognathia, short neck, hypospadias and cryptorchidism (in males), simian palmar creases, metatarsus adductus, pedal syndactyly, and abnormal dermatoglyphic patterns. Additional ...

We reviewed 22 children with cubitus varus who had been treated by a reverse V osteotomy and fixation by cross-pinning and wiring. The mean pre-operative humeral-elbow-wrist angle was -16.9 degrees (-25 degrees to +9 degrees ) and at the latest follow-up it was +7.3 degrees (-2 degrees to +14 degrees ). No child had a lateral prominence greater than 5 mm after correction. An excellent result wa...

The olenelloid trilobite genus Laudonia Harrington, 1956 was thought to occur widely along the Cordilleran margin of Laurentia in lowermost Dyeran strata (Cambrian Series 2). However, supposed occurrences in the Rosella Formation (Cassiar Mountains, northern British Columbia), the Mural Formation (Cariboo Mountains, east-central British Columbia) and the Poleta Formation (Nevada)--re-examined, ...

The role of the coronoid process in varus osteoarticular stability of the elbow was investigated in 10 cadaveric elbows. Testing was performed at multiple flexion angles after incremental removal of the coronoid. At each flexion angle, removal of more than 50% of the coronoid produced a statistically significant decrease in the load resisting varus displacement compared with all lesser resectio...

sternum, spine, ilium, carpus, metacarpus, phalanges of fingers, tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges of toes. Tubercular affections of the skin.?Such as lupus. Tubercular disease of membranes.?Such as pleurisy, peritonitis, and meningitis. Tubercular disease of certain organs.?Such as the kidneys, testis, tonsils, larynx and even tubercle of lung, considering that the best treatment for it at one...

When extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) was administered to the equine metacarpus/ metatarsus, there was subperiosteal and subendosteal hemorrhage, but no microfractures were detected. No damage to the surrounding soft tissues was detected. The principle of ESWT and the acute effects of ESWT on equine bone and soft tissue are explained.
