We report a rare case of multiple hereditary exostosis where patient presented with bilateral base of neck exostoses with concurrent compression of brachial plexus and subclavian artery and vein. The patient was a young 26-year-old woman with chief complaints of pain in the left upper extremity, paresthesia in the left ring and little finger, and weakness in hand movement and grip. On referral,...

BACKGROUND Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO), previously named hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the growth of multiple osteochondromas and is associated with bony deformity, skeletal growth reduction, nerve compression, restriction of joint motion, and premature osteoarthrosis. HMO is genetically heterogeneous, localized on...

In this paper, we extend the Hierarchical Mixture of Experts (HME) to temporal processing and explore it for a substantial problem, that of text-dependent speaker identification. For a specific multiway classification, we propose a generalized Bernoulli density instead of the multinomial logit density to avoid the instability during training. Time-delay technique is applied for spatio-temporal ...

Multiple osteochondromas (MO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), is one of the most common hereditary musculoskeletal diseases in Caucasians (1/50,000) with wide clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. Two genes have thus far been identified as causing the disease, namely EXT1 and EXT2. Various methods to detect mutations in the EXT genes have been used. Here a cohort o...

Background: Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) is an inherited disorder of bone growth. People who have MHE grow or boney bumps on their bones that vary in size, location and number. Some localizations are rare but potentially serious such as ribs, spine pelvis due to proximity important structures. Objectives: The aim this case report was illustrate the clinical radiographic features some MHE...

BACKGROUND Coxa valga is a common clinical feature of hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). The current study aimed to determine the unique developmental pattern of the hip in patients with HME and evaluate the factors that influence its progression. METHODS Thirty patients (57 hips) with HME were divided into two groups according to the Hilgenreiner epiphyseal angle (HEA). Twenty-two patients...
