Horner syndrome is a combination of clinical signs, classically of ipsilateral ptosis, pupillary miosis and facial anhydrosis, secondary to the interruption of the oculosympathetic pathway. The causes include tumour infiltration, compression by a lesion such as an aneurysm, iatrogenic causes and traumatic injuries. This paper presents a case of Horner Syndrome due to a rare cause, a congenital ...

face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. in this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. the analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (ffp) in frontal image sequences. selected facial feature poi...

Here we describe a rare case of an abnormal karyotype with supernumerary derivative chromosome der(22)t(11;22), associated Emanuel syndrome, in boy aged 1 year. Familial cytogenetic analysis revealed the maternal origin anomaly from reciprocal translocation t(11;22) (q23;q11.2). At time examination, child had numerous anomalies development, facial dysmorphia, and small size external genitalia. ...

We show that the Standard Model Lagrangian, including small neutrino masses, has an anomaly-free discrete Z6 symmetry. This symmetry can emerge naturally from (I3 R + Li + Lj − 2Lk) gauge symmetry (Li is the ith lepton number) and ensure the stability of the nucleon even when the threshold of new physics Λ is low. All ∆B = 1 and ∆B = 2 (B is the baryon number) effective operators are forbidden ...

We construct a generalization of the two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a 2n-dimensional Kähler manifold as a group-valued non-linear sigma model with an anomaly term containing the Kähler form. The model is shown to have an infinitedimensional symmetry which generates an n-toroidal Lie algebra. The classical equation of motion turns out to be the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau equation, whic...

Introduction On July 11, 2012, New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) Communicable Disease Service (CDS) surveillance staff received email notification of a statewide anomaly in EpiCenter for Paralysis. Two additional anomalies followed within three hours. Since Paralysis Anomalies are uncommon, staff initiated an investigation to determine if there was an outbreak or other event of concern taki...

introduCtion: In shared decision-making (SDM) clinicians and patients arrive at a joint treatment decision, by incorporating best available evidence and the patients’ personal values and preferences. Little is known about the role of SDM in (paediatric) plastic surgery. For patients with congenital vascular malformations, many therapeutic options exist, ranging from surgery to compression stock...

BACKGROUND Clefts of the lip and palate are the most common significant congenital birth anomaly of the orofacial region. The condition may vary from a minor easily correctable cleft to a significant functional and cosmetic incapacitation. This is the first epidemiological study of orofacial clefts in the Negev region in Israel. OBJECTIVES To establish the frequency of cleft lip and palate in...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In most children with conductive hearing loss, acquired otitis media and/or middle ear effusion are ultimately diagnosed. Congenital conductive hearing loss is a rare condition; absence of the oval window is an unusual pathogenesis for this type of hearing impairment and can be associated with an anomalous horizontal facial nerve canal. Our goal was to describe the imagin...
