maternal hyperglycemia during early gestation is associated with an increased incidence of congenital anomalies. a case of mater­nal diabetes syndrome is presented here with a rare constellation of congenital anomalies, i.e., bifurcated distal pha­lanx of the thumb, patent ductus arteriosus and cleft lip.

this case report presents a case of fanconi’s anemia with an unusual thumb polydactyly in a 2-year old boy. the extra thumb had no nail, nail bed and distal phalanx. the extra thumb had no active motion.the duplication of the thumb occurred at the carpometacarpal joint but its morphology did not match with any classification described for thumb polydactyly. although his thumb polydactyly was ap...

stroke is one of the most common diseases among the elderly with high personal and societal costs. in recent years, robotic rehabilitation for stroke has become an active area of research for assistance, monitoring and qualifying the rehabilitation treatments. the key issue needed for improving rehabilitation system is that patient feedback should be taken into account by the robotic rehabilita...

The Sn atom in the title mol-ecule, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(16)H(10)NO(3))(C(2)H(6)O)], shows a trans-C(3)SnO(2) trigonal bipyramidal coord-in-ation. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional array parallel to (100). The ethanol ligand is disordered, with two sites of equal occupancy being resolved for the ethyl group.

radial polydactyly, the most common digital duplication in asian and white populations, has a wide range of manifestations. its classification is useful for planning and assessing surgical treatment. our patient had four thumbs, duplicated radial carpal bones, and a bifurcated radius. this presentation is not covered by any of the current classifications. to the best of our knowledge, this is t...

this deformity is often reffered to as thumbclutched hand, but a better term is the congenital clasped thumb. the congenital clasped thumb is associated with several well-de-fined syndromes, although it may also present as an isolated abnormality. weckesser, reac, and heiple called it a syndrome and divided the syndrome in to four groups. in group i, the thumb is deficient in extention only. in...

In this study, removal of a transitional object (pillow) was applied as the sole intervention for one of two siblings who sucked their thumbs. The intervention was applied only to the older sibling, whereas data were collected on the thumb sucking of both participants. Results indicated that removal of the transitional object for the older sibling reduced thumb sucking in both siblings and incr...
