The Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) results from an insult to the growing brain in utero or early infancy, which lead to loss of neurons compromising the growth of the brain. Clinical presentation includes seizures, hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, and learning disability. Radiological findings include cerebral atrophy on one side. Here, we present a case with status epilepticus who had unde...

A low-blank, high sensitivity isotope dilution, ICP-MS analytical technique has been used to obtain REE abundance data from single conodont elements weighing as little as 5 mg. Sr isotopes can also be measured from the column eluants enabling Sr isotope ratios and REE abundance to be determined from the same dissolution. Results are comparable to published analyses comprising tens to hundreds o...

The investigations of ultimobranchial tissue still remain to be some contradictory questions on its fate and function. Some investigators insist the contribution of ultimobranchial tissue to formation of thyroid tissue and some others deny it. Autoradiographic studies using radioiodine (Gorbman, '47) elucidated a fact in mice that the follicles of ultimobranchial origin are not able to collect ...

Different Holocene sea-ice drift patterns in the Arctic Ocean have been hypothesized by Dyke et al. from radiometric analyses of driftwood collected in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. A dynamic-thermodynamic sea-ice model is used to simulate the modes of Arctic Ocean ice circulation for different atmospheric forcings, and hence determine the atmospheric circulations which may have accounted fo...
