Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) of the scalp and variable degrees of terminal transverse limb defects. In this article, a newborn infant diagnosed as AOS for a large scalp defect, acrania, and finger malformations is presented. The patient was hospitalized and the scalp defect was successfully repaired with several surgic...

In the literature, various types of parallel methods for integrating nonsti initial-value problems for rst-order ordinary di erential equation have been proposed. The greater part of them are based on an implicit multistage method in which the implicit relations are solved by the predictor–corrector (or xed point iteration) method. In the predictor–corrector approach the computation of the comp...

at the Bristol Grammar School and the University of Bristol. He entered the Science Faculty in 1922 and graduated B.Sc. with 1st Class Honours in Zoology in 1925. He continued his work in the Department of Zoology and in 1928 was awarded his Ph.D. for a thesis on " The Cervical Nerves of the Platysma in Marsupials." He now realized that his real interest lay in medicine and he entered the Facul...

Semi-implicit multistep methods are an efficient tool for solving large-scale ODE systems. This recently emerged technique is based on modified Adams–Bashforth–Moulton (ABM) methods. In this paper, we introduce new semi-explicit and semi-implicit predictor–corrector the backward differentiation formula Adams–Bashforth We provide a thorough study of numerical stability performance compare their ...

The original goal of implantable pacemakers was to prevent syncope and death due to prolonged periods of asystole from Stokes-Adams attacks and complete heart block (1). Subsequently, devices that were increasingly complex were developed to maintain atrioventricular (AV) sequential activation and to provide a better chronotropic response to exercise. Atrial based pacing (either AAI or DDD) has ...

We report a case of a premature neonate girl with scalp and skull defects and brachydactyly of the feet consistent with an Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The patient had central nervous system abnormalities, such as periventricular calcifications, hypoplastic corpus callosum, and bilateral hemispheric corticosubcortical hemorrhagic lesions. A muscular ventricular septal defect and a portosystemic...

R.A. Adams and S.C. Pedersen (eds.), Bat Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-7397-8_20, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract In the winter of 2006–2007, thousands of dead bats were found at a single cave in New York. When mortality spread to nearby hibernacula in the winter of 2007–2008, this emerging infectious disease was dubbed “white-nose syndrom...
