It is the author's contention that modem neurophysiology is based upon the operations ofless than half of the brain and that the anatomical and functional existence of more than half of the cells constituting the nelVOW system are ignored. The author argues that the neurone doctrine, which holds that all functions of the nervow system are the result of operations of the neurons alone, is incomp...

cornelia de lange syndrome (cdls) is an uncommon multiple congenital anomaly with unknown cause and recurrent risk and may be the result of an inheritance metabolic error. in classical form of the syndrome there is a recognizable facial appearance at birth although in children with mild disease this may be less obvious at birth but become more noticeable over the first three years of life. in t...

This paper explores ways by which inheritance can be defined for and used in specification languages, especially ADLs and CDLs that are now widely used in software engineering for specifying software architectures and components. The fact that most specification languages share many properties with object oriented languages – which use inheritance for variety of purposes – is the main motivatio...

This article proposes to investigate perceptions on how migration is contributing to the rise of overweight and obesity mainly among female staff and students of Zulu ethnicity at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), Durban. Through a cultural anthropology lens, this article interrogates the perceptions against the backdrop of rural-urban migration, and vice versa. From a public health persp...

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rarely seen multisystem developmental disorder syndrome characterized by facial dysmorphia (arched eyebrows, synophrys, depressed nasal bridge, long philtrum, down-turned angles of the mouth), upper-extremity malformations, hirsutism, cardiac defects, growth and cognitive retardation, and gastrointestinal abnormalities. We present here a case of newborn ma...

Many parents and family members of children and adults with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) have experienced and observed similar phenomena: The affected individual seems to have an apparent indifference to pain or a high pain threshold, or vice versa there may be unexplained bouts of pain or discomfort that is hard to localize. Or the skin in the extremities is overly blotchy and there may b...

Partial duplication of chromosome 3q is a recognizable syndrome with characteristic facial features, microcephaly, digital anomalies, genitourinary and cardiac defects as well as growth retardation and developmental delays. While there is clinical overlap with the unrelated Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS), there are distinguishing features and molecular etiologies. Most cases of 3q duplicatio...

Anlar BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Myelin instability and citrullinated myelin basic protein have been demonstrated in the brains of patients with chronic and fulminating forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Our aim was to trace citrulline in the brains of patients with early-onset MS by using proton MR s...

Regulated adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to endothelium and subendothelial matrix is a critical event for PMN localization at and migration into inflammatory sites. We previously reported that human PMNs stimulated in vitro adhere to laminin, the major glycoprotein of mammalian basement membrane, by both C D l l /CD18 (pz integrin)-dependent and CD11 /CD18-independent mechanis...
