The genetic landscape and clinical implications of vertebral anomalies in VACTERL association
VACTERL association is a condition comprising multisystem congenital malformations, causing severe physical disability in affected individuals. It is typically defined by the concurrence of at least three of the following component features: vertebral anomalies (V), anal atresia (A), cardiac malformations (C), tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TE), renal dysplasia (R) and limb abnormalities (L). Ver...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF ANTERIOR DISCECTOMY AND INTERPOSITION AL IMPLANT UPON LUMBAR MOTION SEGMENT STABILITY
The cadaver spine motion segment behavior under torsional load was evaluated with the disc intact, with partial anterior discectomy and with spacer insertion. The results of this study explain how anterior lumbar discectomy and interbody fusion (ALIF) affects the torsional stability of the motion segment. The pseudarthrosis rate of the anterior lumbar discectomy and interbody fusion (ALIF)...
متن کاملEmbolization of arteriovenous malformations of the temporal lobe via the anterior choroidal artery.
The indications, technique, and results of embolization of arteriovenous malformations with liquid adhesive agents delivered through the anterior choroidal artery are reported. Arteriovenous malformations of the temporal lobe were found in four patients with intracerebral bleeding and two with intractable epilepsy. In five of the six, the dominant arterial feeder was the anterior choroidal arte...
متن کاملGenetics and Environmental Stress Factor Contributions to Anterior Segment Malformations and Glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide [1]. A gradual loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) result in degeneration of the optic nerve head and visual field loss. Glaucoma is an age-related disease with a strong genetic basis. The risk of developing glaucoma significantly increases after age 40 [2,3]. An estimated 79.6 million people worldwide will have glaucom...
متن کاملPITs and FOXes in ocular genetics: the Cogan lecture.
The overall goal of the research in my laboratory is to gain better understanding of the molecular biology of the anterior segment and, in particular, to identify genes that regulate the development and function of this tissue. We have concentrated on discovering and characterizing the genes that, when mutated, cause anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD). ASD encompasses a spectrum of inherited aut...
