CHARGE association is a heterogeneous condition that affects several organ systems, including the eye, ear, nose, heart, and genitals. Hearing loss is a common finding in CHARGE association; therefore, audiologists and otolaryngologists need to be familiar with this relatively common entity.

CHARGE syndrome was initially defined as a non-random association of anomalies (Coloboma, Heart defect, Atresia choanae, Retarded growth and development, Genital hypoplasia, Ear anomalies/deafness). In 1998, an expert group defined the major (the classical 4C's: Choanal atresia, Coloboma, Characteristic ears and Cranial nerve anomalies) and minor criteria of CHARGE syndrome. Individuals with al...

Low-temperature single-crystal neutron and X-ray diffraction data were collected for bullvalene (Figure 1). X —N Fourier and multipole static deformation electron density maps were calculated and compared. Atomic mean-square-displacement parameters were analysed in the framework of the rigid-body motion model and the residual amplitudes (UOBS — t/TLS) were graphically interpreted. The prelimina...

We study the Euclidean two-point correlation function Gq(x) of the topological charge density in QCD. A general statement based on reflection positivity tells us that Gq(x) < 0 for x 6= 0. On the other hand the topological susceptibility χq = ∫ dxGq(x) is a positive quantity. This indicates that Gq(x) developes a positive contact term at x = 0, that contributes to the determination of the physi...

The possibility of "orbitally selective Mott transitions" within a multiband Hubbard model, in which one orbital with large on-site electron-electron repulsion $U_1$ is insulating and another orbital, to it hybridized, small $U_{-1}$, metallic, problem long-standing debate investigation. In this paper we study an analogous phenomenon, the co-existence metallic bands system orbitals different el...
