Butterfly vertebra is a rare congenital malformation of the spine, which is usually reported in the literature as an isolated finding. We describe a 40-year-old woman that presented to our emergency department with back pain and sciatica. Initial radiological evaluation revealed an incidental finding of a L4 butterfly vertebra in the anteroposterior and lateral view radiographs. The patient pre...

through spinal defect and histopathological fi ndings.[2] Majority of NTDs are isolated/non-syndromic and are not associated with other congenital malformations. However in about 10% of the cases, NTD can be a part of genetic syndrome hence may follow Mendelian inheritance. The syndromes associated with neural tube defects include Walker-Warburg syndrome, Jarcho-Levin syndrome, Robert syndrome ...

In comparison with the previous refinement of tetra-potassium di-μ-chlorido-bis-[tetra-chloridobismuthate(III)] tetra-hydrate [Volkova, Udovenko, Levin & Shevchenko (1983). Koord. Khim.9, 356-360], the current redetermination reveals anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms, localization of the H atoms, and higher precision of lattice parameters and inter-atomic distances. The cr...

Higher twist corrections to hadronic interactions become increasingly important at high energies. An effective way to resum all these contributions is the color glass condensate picture. We review the Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi (KLN)[1] approach to heavy ion collisions, which has successfully been applied to RHIC physics, and extrapolate this model to Iron-air collisions at energies up to the GZK (≈ ...
