apert syndrome is a congenital craniosynostosis syndrome comprising of bilateral coronal synostosis , symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet and midface hypoplasia. we present an atypical phenotype of this syndrome with right sided unilateral coronal synostosis. however, type i apert hand and other clinical and radiological features suggestthe diagnosis. genetic analysis revealed an absence of ...

A simple, yet powerful, algorithm for computed tomography of the solar corona is demonstrated using synthetic EUV data. A minimum of three perspectives are required. These may be obtained from STEREO/EUVI plus an instrument near Earth, e.g. TRACE or SOHO/EIT. Subject headings: methods: data analysis — Sun: corona — techniques: image processing

PURPOSE To assess and compare the incidence of abnormal findings detected during non-contrast-enhanced whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) in the general population in two age groups: (1) 50 years old and younger; and (2) over 50 years old. MATERIALS AND METHODS The analysis included 666 non-contrast-enhanced WB-MRIs performed on a 1.5-T scanner between December 2009 and June 2013 ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early hematoma growth is one of the main determinants of mortality in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Transcranial duplex sonography (TDS) might represent a useful tool for the bedside monitoring of early ICH enlargement. We aimed to correlate ICH volumes measured by TDS and CT scan in patients with ICH evaluated <3 hours of symptom onset. METHODS We prospe...

An 820 g, 28 week , small-for-gestational-age boy was born after an uneventful but shortened pregnancy. At birth , the circumference of the infant's head (23 cm) was well below the third percentile. Transillumination of the skull was increased over the parietotemporal areas bilaterally. Initially, he had minimal spontaneous movements, little response to stimulation, absent suck reflex , minimal...

The basicranium is the keystone of the primate skull, and understanding its morphological interdependence on surrounding soft-tissue structures, such as the brain, can reveal important mechanisms of skull development and evolution. In particular, several extensive investigations have shown that, across extant adult primates, the degree of basicranial flexion and petrous orientation are closely ...

BACKGROUND The authors describe a new computerized tomography (CT) myelography technique with coronal and oblique coronal view to demonstrate the status of the cervical nerve rootlets involved in brachial plexus injury. They discuss the value of this technique for diagnosis of nerve root avulsion compared with CT myelography with axial view. METHODS CT myelography was performed with penetrati...

Dental materials in general are tested in different animal models prior to the clinical use in humans, except for bleaching agents. Objectives To evaluate an experimental rat model for comparative studies of bleaching agents, by investigating the influence of different concentrations and application times of H2O2 gel in the pulp tissue during in-office bleaching of rats' vital teeth. Material a...

This paper proposes a Bayesian account of asymmetries found in speech perception: In many languages, listeners show greater sensitivity if a non-coronal sound (/b/, /p/, /g/, /k/) is changed to coronal sounds (/d/, /t/) than vice versa. The currently predominant explanation for these asymmetries is that they reflect innate constraints from Universal Grammar. Alternatively, we propose that the a...
