Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused solely by loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which binds mRNAs to mediate transcript stability and trafficking, and acts as a negative regulator of translation (Laggerbauer et al., 2001; Li et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2001; Lu et al., 2004; Muddashetty et al., 2007; Tessier and Broadie, 2008). Both humans with FXS and animal models of the dis...

Les fentes faciales sont des malformations rares résultant d'une absence totale ou partielle de fusion des bourgeons faciaux. La classification des fentes faciales a été mise au point par le pionnier de la chirurgie crânio-faciale, Paul TESSIER, en 1976, et prend l'orbite pour référence anatomique. Elle est cotée de 0 à 14 et concerne en général les tissus mous et massifs osseux. Les fentes son...

Bilateral transverse facial cleft, Tessier no 7 also known as bilateral congenital macrostomia are very rare clefts. We present an eight months old female with bilateral transverse facial cleft, third child of three siblings in a monogamous setting born to parents of Delta origin who resides in effurun Delta state of Nigeria. Mother ingested postinor several times in an attempt to abort pregnan...

This paper illustrates the surgical principles employed in the management of a case of incomplete nasomaxillary dysplasia or Tessier Type 11 Cleft. All pre-operative work-up on this case was performed at The Adelaide Children’s Hospital by members of The South Australian Craniofacial Unit and hospital staff. The surgical treatment was planned and executed by Professor 1. C. van der Meulen who w...

In 1974 Briançon and Skoda, [Sko74], proved this theorem as a quite immediate consequence of Skoda’s L-theorem in [Sko72]. An algebraic proof was given by Lipman and Tessier in [Tes81]. Their paper also contains a historical summary. An account of the further development and an elementary algebraic proof of the result is found in Schoutens [Sch03]. Berenstein, Gay, Vidras and Yger [Yge93] prove...
