Introduction: Marcus Gunn jaw winking syndrome (MGJWS) is a rare congenital disorder belonging to the synkinetic eye movement group of disorders observed in children. It occurrence in adults and patients with diabetes has not been reported. Material and Methods: A 64-year man with poorly controlled diabetes of 18 years presented with 3-month history of jaw winking on the left side along with gu...

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system whose clinical manifestations include animportant group of ocular pathologies, e.g., unilateral retrobulbar neuritis, uveitis, decreased visual function, nystagmus, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, diplopia, optic papillitis and Marcus Gunn pupil. Additionally, it is not generally appreciated that bitemporal hemianopia, usually associat...

Marcus (2001) argues that only those connectionist models that incorporate (classical) rules can account for the phenomenon of transfer of learning in infants. Seidenberg and Elman (1999) have tried to counter to Marcus by means of a simple recurrent network (SRN) trained on a categorization task. In this paper we show how a prediction-SRN, trained on a simple but structured pre-training set, c...

Understanding the mechanisms of learning is one of the central questions of Cognitive Science. Recently Marcus et al. showed that seven-month-old infants can learn to recognize regularities in simple language-like stimuli. Marcus proposed that these results could not be modeled via existing connectionist systems, and that such learning requires infants to be constructing rules containing algebr...

The halcyon days of Marcus Welby, when a doctor could simply “hang up a shingle” and be assured of a good living, are long passed. Physicians today must advertise, use lean management business practices, and, most importantly, code and bill effectively to have a financially healthy practice. This is particularly true for primary care physicians due to narrow margins and reliance on outpatient v...

Gunn rats lack UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity toward bilirubin. 4-Nitrophenol glucuronidation is mediated by several UDPGT isoforms that are distinct from bilirubin-UDPGT, one of which is induced after 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) administration in normal, but not in Gunn rats. In normal rats, 3-MC-inducible UDPGT mRNA concentration increased 15-fold in the liver and 3-fold in kidn...
