We report on nine unrelated children fitting a diagnosis of Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome (CFZS). All children presented with Möbius sequence, Pierre Robin complex (6/9) or micrognathia, and hypotonia. Some had primary hypoventilation, delayed development, and acral anomalies. The neuropathological
We recently showed that the antiapoptotic function of insulin requires nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation (Bertrand, F., Atfi, A., Cadoret, A., L'Allemain, G., Robin, H., Lascols, O., Capeau, J., and Cherqui, G. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 2931-2938). Here we sought to identify the
METHODS
A 4-year-old 26-kg (57.2-lb) spayed female Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix was evaluated because of a 24-hour history of cluster seizures.
RESULTS
Neurologic examination revealed altered mentation and multifocal intracranial signs; MRI was performed. The MRI findings included multifocal,
OBJECTIVE
Distraction osteogenesis is an effective treatment modality for the correction of craniofacial deformities. The cost of these devices is significant and may preclude routine use of these distractors in developing countries. Hence, distraction osteogenesis was performed using medical
Morphologic features of the autopsied specimen of 22 cases with supratentorial gliomas treated by surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy were analysed, and the characteristics of recurrence of gliomas were searched for. The cases consisted of anaplastic 12 astrocytoma and 10 glioblastoma. The
Although cobra envenomation continues to pose a threat to life and therefore constitutes a major cause of death in Africa, India, and Sri Lanka, the forensic pathology reports are not always histologically well documented or illustrated. The reports in the literature, although providing graphic
In two patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) of 10 and 25 months duration we demonstrated by immunohistochemistry the presence of measles-virus nucleocapsid antigen (MVNA) in CD68+ cells and astrocytes of brain tissues. In both cases, CD68+ hematogenous monocyte/ macrophages and
Watershed zone infarcts of the human cerebral cortex at the overlapping junctions of the anterior and middle cerebral arterial territories are well known. Another watershed zone exists in the brainstem tegmentum, between the terminal perfusion zones of the paramedian penetrating and long
Seventy-five children aged 6-17 years (mean age 9.8±4.1 years) that received mandible distraction (MD) at the age of 0-17 years (mean age at MD 6.1±4.3) were included in the study. Indication for MD were hemifacial microsomia (n=41), Goldenhar syndrome (n=4), Robin sequence (n=10), Treacher, Collins
Disseminated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy was found upon autopsy of a 32-year-old man with acute lymphocytic leukemia. He had been treated with intrathecal methotrexate for CNS involvement; no radiation therapy had been given. Autopsy findings revealed that in the white matter of the temporal
A Japanese patient with Gaucher disease type 2 was treated with enzyme therapy, alglucerase, from 7 to 22 months of age. Whereas hematologic parameters were normalized and hepatosplenomegaly was alleviated, no improvement in neurologic symptoms occurred, and the patient died of respiratory failure
We report a histological and genetic study of concurrent oligodendroglioma and a microscopic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA)-like lesion in a 48-year-old male. He presented with generalized seizure, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nonenhanced left frontal lobe mass suggesting low-grade
The Tri-State Mining District (Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri) is contaminated with Pb, Cd, and Zn from mining, milling and smelting. Metals have been dispersed heterogeneously throughout the District in the form of milled mine waste ("chat"), as flotation tailings and from smelters as aerial
From 2006 to 2008, several similar Phytophthora isolates were obtained from roots of mature Quercus robur and other tree species (Acer platanoides, Fraxinus excelsior, Q. rubra, and Tilia cordata) in forests and parks in several areas in the Czech Republic. The trees were characterized by chlorotic
Administration of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) to male Fischer-344 rats produced ataxia after 6 or 7 oral doses (71 mg/kg). Light microscopic examination after 10 days revealed petechial hemorrhages in the brain stem and cerebellum and bilaterally symmetric degeneration and necrosis (malacia) with
