Gorham–Stout Disease Affecting Both Hands: Stabilisation during Biphosphonate Treatment

Gorham-Stout disease affecting both hands: stabilisation during biphosphonate treatment.

The Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. The aetiology is poorly understood. We report a patient with osteolysis of the metacarpal bones in both hands due to an increased number of stimulated osteoclasts. This suggests that early potent antiresorptive therapy with bisphosphonates may prevent local progressive osteolysis.

Some Virtues of Modeling With Both Hands

Webb distinguishes two endeavors she calls animal modeling and animat modeling and advocates for the former. I share her preference and point to additional virtues of modeling actual biological mechanisms (animal modeling). As Webb argues, animat modeling should be regarded as modeling of specific, but madeup, biological mechanisms. I contend that modeling made-up mechanisms in situations in wh...

TCP Inigo Fighting Congestion With Both Hands

The Land of Net is always in peril from unscrupulous “princes” and six-fingered apps. TCP Inigo is the hero of this story. He functions surprisingly well, considering he has a drinking problem or two and prefers to fight with his left hand even though he’s right handed. Join TCP Inigo as he overcomes his faults and defeats the six-fingered apps who killed his buffer.

Accidental Adhesion of Both Hands with Super Glue: A Case Report

Postural sway during retinal image stabilisation.

Posturographic measurements using a piezoelectric platform were made in normal subjects while wearing a combination of spectacle and contact lens providing partial stabilisation of the retinal image (RIS). The amount of postural sway seen while wearing the device at rest is intermediate between the "normal vision" and "eyes closed" conditions, and increases with increasing amounts of RIS. Howev...
