We describe two brothers born to consanguineous parents, who presented with hypotonia and hypoglycaemia in the neonatal period and later developed obesity and developmental delay. They had brachydactyly and similar facial features including a prominent forehead, low nasal bridge, midface hypoplasia,
The likelihood of a paternally expressing imprinted gene in chromosome region 6(q23-24) has been highlighted by cases of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) in which paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) for chromosome 6 or paternal duplication 6(q23-qter) was detected. We present the case of a
A 46-year-old man was diagnosed with descending colon cancer and was planned to undergo left hemicolectomy under general anesthesia. His body mass index was 42.6 and due to his small mouth and jaw, we anticipated difficult mask ventilation and tracheal intubation. To avoid 'can't ventilate, can't
We report on a 10-year-old boy presenting with obesity, moderate mental retardation, large anterior fontanelle at birth, mild physical anomalies including mid-face hypoplasia, deep-set eyes, long philtrum, and small mouth. He was found to carry a paracentric inversion inv(1)(p22p36.2) associated
Previous reports indicate that Prader-Willi syndrome may present various problems during anesthesia and the perioperative period. We retrospectively investigated anesthesia records of 10 patients (2 adults and 8 children) who were diagnosed to have Prader-Willi syndrome, and who had an operation
The 15q11-q13 PWS/AS critical region involves genes that are characterized by genomic imprinting. Multiple repeat elements within the region mediate rearrangements, including interstitial duplications, interstitial triplications, and supernumerary isodicentric marker chromosomes, as well as the
We describe a brother and sister with craniofacial dysmorphism, short stature, relative obesity, sensorineural deafness, multiple pigmented naevi and severe mental retardation. One sibling had keratoconus and the other had an iris coloboma. Dysmorphic features included brachycephaly, hypotelorism,
BACKGROUND
The cuffed oropharyngeal airway (COPA) is a device which has already been demonstrated to be suitable for anaesthetized adult patients undergoing either spontaneous or mechanical ventilation. There are few reports on the use of the COPA in children. In this study, the authors assessed the
BACKGROUND
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS, or Hughes' syndrome) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by antiphospholipid antibody positivity, which may lead to arterial and/or venous thrombosis. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), variously associated with 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate
Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic abnormality that can be challenging to diagnose early, but for which early interventions improve prognosis.
To improve understanding of Prader-Willi syndrome in neonates in Asia, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 20 affected newborns
Chromosome 15q24 microdeletion syndrome is a recently described rare microdeletion syndrome that has been reported in 19 individuals. It is characterized by growth retardation, intellectual disability, and distinct facial features including long face with high anterior hairline, hypertelorism,
We report on a 42-year old male with short stature, azoospermia and a wide deletion of long arm of Y chromosome. On physical examination, the patient showed height of 149 cm (< 1 degree centile) and reduced volume (3 ml) and consistency of the testes. On hormonal evaluation, he showed increased
