OBJECTIVE Developmental delay screening is essential in pediatric medicine. The purpose of this study was to estimate the developmental delay in apparently normal children at entry to kindergarten. MATERIALS & METHODS In this cross- sectional study conducted in 2013, the developmental status of a sample of children who entered to kindergarten at the age of 4-60 months were evaluated by the Pe...

DURING the last few years it has been found that many patients presumed to have normal binocular single vision after optical, orthoptic, and/or surgical treatment, have in fact a small angle of anomaly. From certain points of view this is not of great importance, as such cases are satisfactory cosmetically, and show good visual acuity in each eye with a limited degree of fusion detectable by ce...

We construct effective Hamiltonians which despite their apparently nonrelativistic form incorporate relativistic effects by involving parameters which depend on the relevant momentum. For some potentials the corresponding energy eigenvalues may be determined analytically. Applied to two-particle bound states, it turns out that in this way a nonrelativistic treatment may indeed be able to simula...

Diastolic murmurs have always been considered abnormal, but this report presents nine apparently normal children with high-frequency, early, diamond-shaped diastolic murmurs confirmed by intracavitary phonocardiography to arise within the left ventricle. Each child (aged 5 to 15 years) was referred for evaluation of a systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border, but an additional finding a...

Lipoprotein typing was carried out on 4385 apparently healthy male subjects at work in the Glasgow conurbation of the West of Scotland. Subjects werefasting and the investigations undertaken were cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoprotein paper electrophoresis, and preparative ultracentrifugation when necessary. 29*5 per cent of subjects were normal in terms of history, weight, blood pressure, elec...

Dear Editors, A 92 year-old man presented with a right zygomatic ulcerated lesion that deepened just above the periosteal plane. The lesion appeared 2 months before, rapidly reaching 21⋅4 cm2. No specialised evaluation was previously performed. A domestic cleaner with a generic alcoholic disinfectant was used. At the first physical examination by the general surgeon, the lesion was mildly exudi...
