Biologists are increasingly recognising that computational modelling is crucial for making sense of the vast quantities of complex experimental data that are now being collected. The systems biology field needs agreed-upon information standards if models are to be shared, evaluated and developed cooperatively. Over the last four years, our team has been developing the Systems Biology Markup Lan...

This study explored access to grammatical gender during naming in Hebrew. Studies of anomia and tip-of-the-tongue states (TOT) found that speakers of various languages (Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch) have information about the grammatical gender of words they fail to retrieve. In Hebrew, on the other hand, a TOT study found that Hebrew speakers could not provide gender information. To test ac...

Individuals with cleft palate, even those with adequate velopharyngeal function, are at high risk for disordered lingual articulation. This article attempts to summarize current knowledge of abnormal tongue-palate contact patterns derived from electropalatographic (EPG) data in speakers with cleft palate. These data, which have been reported in 23 articles published over the past 20 years, have...

Vitiligo is an acquired cutaneous depigmentation disorder which has a deleterious effect on the psychosexual function of many individuals; the genitalia are the common site for depigmentation. Here, the authors report two cases of focal vitiligo affecting the scrotum of the genital organs which were successfully treated by autologous cultured melanocyte transplantation. Autologous cultured mela...

^ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Managing lymphoedema of the male genitals is challenging, distressing and potentially life-threatening if not managed appropriately. Consideration is made of the classification, clinical presentation, lymphatic anatomy and management of genital lymphoedema in clinical practice. The article addresses the Issues raised when caring for patients suffering from this condition...

BACKGROUND Only few studies on tongue lesions considered sizable populations, and contemporary literature does not provide a valid report regarding the epidemiology of tongue lesions within the Italian population. In this report, the histopathological and clinical appearance of 1.106 tongue lesions from northern Italians are described and discussed. MATERIAL AND METHODS The case records of pa...

Robinow syndrome (RS) is an extremely rare condition. Characteristic craniofacial findings of RS include a fetal facial appearance, ear abnormalities and oral findings. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the oral findings of a 26-year-old man with RS and to describe the dental treatments performed. The patient had short stature, vertebral anomalies, short and broad fingers, a fetal fac...
