Sirenomelia is a rare congenital malformative disorder characterized by fusion of the lower limbs giving a characteristic mermaid-like appearance to the affected foetus. We report a case of sirenomelia occurring in a 19 year old Cameroonian woman following premature rupture of membranes and associated cord prolapse. This is the first documented case in this country. We highlight some of the cul...

Introduction Providing appropriate pressure support (PS) is a balance of avoiding over-support with risk of muscle atrophy and prolonged weaning, and under-support with risk of patient discomfort and stress. The Beacon Caresystem (Mermaid Care, Denmark) advises on PS using physiological models of lung mechanics, respiratory drive, acid-base status and muscle function and clinical preference fun...

Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring is currently the primary methodology for antenatal determination of fetal well-being. Currently, the FHR can be detected with ultrasonography, but the additional information from fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) is only available via an invasive scalp electrode. A cost effective noninvasive monitoring through standard ECG electrodes could be used on nearly every ...

A Wave Devouring Propulsion System (WDPS) is a device that generates thrust directly from wave power while simultaneously generating significant damping force. A relatively simple WDPS design consists of hydrofoils mounted below the bow of a vessel. If a WDPS is integrated with the hull of a vessel, it can power the vessel forward, even against the wave direction itself. One example of a succes...

INTRODUCTION Sirenomelia, also known as mermaid syndrome, is a very rare fatal congenital abnormality in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid's tail. It is commonly associated with abnormal kidney development, genital and rectal abnormalities. A handful of cases have been reported in other parts of the world, however, no cases have previously been reported ...

Sirenomelia, also known as "mermaid malformation/syndrome," is a rare, serious congenital anomaly characterized by variable degrees of fusion of the lower limbs and associated with severe malformations of vertebral, genitourinary, cardiovascular system and single umbilical artery. The first pregnancy of a 25-year-old woman resulted in one twin born by Cesarian section at 32 weeks' gestation, wh...
