Segmental neurofibromatosis (SNF) is a rare type of neurofibromatosis (NF-1) resulting from post-zygotic somatic mutations in the neurofibromin gene that leads to mosaicism. Reported manifestations of SNF include neurofibromas, freckling, or café-au-lait spots limited to a single body region or limb. We present a 5-month-old male referred to our clinic for evaluation of congenital excessive ski...

PURPOSE To present the surgical technique of ventral phalloplasty as an adjunct procedure to the classic prosthetic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this video we demonstrate how to perform a ventral phalloplasty in a patient that has undergone a penile prosthesis implantation. Our technique consists of: delineation of the penile scrotal web, excision of this redundant skin, and re-approxima...

This paper introduces a novel method for complex number representation. The proposed Redundant Complex Binary Number System (RCBNS) is developed by combining a Redundant Binary Number and a complex number in base (-1+j). Donald [1] and Walter Penny [2,3] represented complex numbers using base –j and (-1+j) in the classified algorithmic models. A Redundant Complex Binary Number System consists o...

Firewalls are safety-critical systems that secure most private networks. The function of a firewall is to examine each incoming and outgoing packet and decide whether to accept or to discard the packet. This decision is made according to a sequence of rules, where some rules may be redundant. Redundant rules significantly degrade the performance of firewalls. Previous work detects only two spec...
