A faunal overview is presented of the molluscan families Amphibulimidae, Megaspiridae, Odontostomidae, Orthalicidae, Simpulopsidae in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. These Central Andean countries are known for their biodiverse malacofauna, of which the superfamily Orthalicoidea takes relatively a large share. In this paper the five families containing 103 (sub)species, for which systematic informa...

Background: aspects of language development in craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the cranial sutures) has an incidence of 0.4 to 1/1.000 newborns. Etiology for this congenital anomaly includes environmental and genetic factors. Regarding the form of presentation, it can occur in its isolated form or associated to other congenital anomalies. For this last group, acrocephalo...

There have been numerous studies on the distribution of endogenous histamine (1-5). Many mammalian tissues contain large to small amounts of histamine preformed. Amongst them skin, stomach and lung contain extremely high concentration of histamine. These organs are exposed to the outside directly or indirectly and prone to traumatic injury. The tissue level of histamine has been estimated with ...

The pharmacological treatment of Huntington's chorea has been based on the use of neuroleptic drugs, on the hypothesis that there is a functional dopaminergic hyperactivity in this illness (Agid, 1975). More recently, after the observation of reduced cholinergic and GABAminergic activity at the striatal level in brains of choreic subjects (McGeer et al., 1973; Stahl and Swanson, 1974; Bird and ...

In order to elaborate a planorbid chart of the State of Rio de Janeiro a survey of freshwater gastropods in the Metropolitan Mesoregion of this State was performed and revealed the occurrence of 20 species: Antillorbis nordestensis (Lucena, 1954); Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818); Biomphalaria schrammi (Crosse, 1864); Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848); Biomphalaria tenagophila (Orbigny, 18...

Repair of unilateral cleft lip is a fascinating and challenging procedure. Although a great number of operations have been described for the unilateral cleft lip repair, none fulfill all the plastic surgical criteria, and in most cases, cleft lip repairs require secondary operations in an attempt to achieve described goals of primary cheiloplasty. The Afroze incision is a combination 2 incision...

In the recent fabrication of semiconductor devices, quite various devices are produced while most of them result in small production volumes. A small production volume of ICs leads to a rise of the price of an IC because the expensive investment made in its photomask set must be redeemed by passing on the price. The price of photomasks increases rapidly as the transistor integration advances. T...

A family study was based on 184 consecutive patients who had undergone surgery for craniosynostosis at The Hospital for Sick Children, London, between 1953 and 1976. Of these, 127 were traced and visited and are the probands for this study. Crouzon syndrome was recognised in 16, Apert in 11, Saethre-Chotzen in nine, and Pfeiffer in two. In addition, two probands had Saethre-Chotzen-like facies ...
