Here, we report a rare case of a 23-year-old term parturient with Eisenmenger syndrome due to Taussig-Bing anomaly presenting with gestational hypertension, oligohydramnios, and intrauterine growth retardation posted for elective cesarean section. Preoperatively, echocardiography of the patient was suggestive of double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) with large sub-pulmonic ventricular septal def...

Operative correction of a Taussig-Bing malformation was successfully accomplished in a 23-mo-old boy, weighing 6.8 kg. Associated coarctation of the aorta and reversed patent ductus arteriosus were corrected in a preliminary operation. The patient's management was complicated by severe preoperative thrombocytopenia which responded to multiple phlebotomies. Surgical repair of the Taussig-Bing ma...

In Part I of this article, which appeared in last month's AJOI', AOI'A President Robert K. Bing examined the founding principles of occupational therapy developed and published in 1925, and offered comments from some pioneering occupational therapists that helped determine how the principles were enacted in practice. This month in Part II Bing continues with more comments from the profession's ...

The notion of a Bing cell is introduced, and it is used to define invariants, link groups, of 4-manifolds. Bing cells combine some features of both surfaces and 4-dimensional handlebodies, and the link group λ(M) measures certain aspects of the handle structure of a 4-manifold M . This group is a quotient of the fundamental group, and examples of manifolds are given with π1(M) 6= λ(M). The main...

Taussig–Bing anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac malformation, first described in 1949 by Helen B. Taussig and Richard J. Bing. The second most common variant of double outlet right ventricle, the anomaly was originally distinguished by a transposed aorta arising entirely from the right ventricle, a pulmonary artery overriding a ventricular septal defect (VSD), side-by-side great vessels, and ...
