The development over several years of a computer system for hospital bacteriology reporting is described. The system was developed from a manual method to a punch-card batch processing system and finally to a real-time on-line system. The value of the system to the clinical departments and laboratory is discussed. Apart from minor defects the system has been of immense advantage to all who make...

Part of the design inputs for our strainers included the performance of plant-specific testing for behavior of coating debris. A proprietary description of this testing and the results is included in Attachment 2. Attachment 2 of the enclosed information is considered proprietary information by Duke Engineering and Services (DE&S). In accordance with 1OCFR2.790(b)(1), an affidavit attesting to ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the morphologic structures and developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland in human fetuses. METHODS This study performed in the Department of Anatomy, Meram Faculty of Medicine between February and April in 2002. Fetuses were obtained from the Gynecology Department of the Meram Faculty of Medicine, Selcuk University, and Dr. Faruk Sukan Maternity Hospital (Konya, Tu...

Emanuel syndrome (ES) is a rare anomaly characterized by a distinctive phenotype, consisting of characteristic facial dysmorphism, microcephaly, severe mental retardation, developmental delay, renal anomalies, congenital cardiac defects, and genital anomalies in boys. Here, we report a male neonate, with the classical features of Emanuel syndrome.

Developmental anomalies affecting the teeth are often seen in the oral cavity. Abnormalities in the physiological processes of tooth development lead to these anomolies. Talon cusp or dens evaginatus of anterior tooth is one of the dental anomalies affecting the shape of a tooth, in which an accessory cusp like structure projects from the cingulam area or cementoenamel junction.

The talon cusp is a developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp like structure projecting from the cingulum area of the anterior teeth. Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development. These developmental anomalies may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries and tooth crowding. Co-occ...

Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava are rare. Such anomalies pose great challenges to the surgeon in neuroblastoma surgery, especially when unrecognised preoperatively. We report the first case of an abdominal neuroblastoma detected in a child with a developmental anomaly of the left-sided inferior vena cava. The patient underwent surgical resection after good response to preoperativ...

A patient with multiple anomalies of the maxillary teeth, including shovel-shaped incisors, talon cusp, bilateral dens invaginatus and bilateral peg-shaped supernumerary incisors is reported. The patient also exhibited Carabelli's cusp on both maxillary first molars. No developmental syndrome was identified. This very unusual combination of anomalies has not been reported previously.

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies in a Turkish population according to the gender and age. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed using panoramic radiographs of 2025 patients (885 males and 1140 females) ranging in age from 9 to 35 (mean age 25.61±10.04) years attending Department of Oral Radiology, University of Ista...

Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a dominantly inherited, genetically heterogeneous and clinically variable syndrome with multiple congenital anomalies and developmental delay. Gastrointestinal anomalies are common and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. We report on a newborn with a molecularly confirmed Cornelia de Lange syndrome who had an imperforate anus. This is the third report of...
