In this work we revisit the important and controversial concept of quantum weak values, aiming to provide a simplified understanding to its associated physics and the origin of anomaly. Taking the Stern-Gerlach setup as a working system, we base our analysis on an exact treatment in terms of quantum Bayesian approach. We also make particular connection with a very recent work, where the anomaly...

We investigated the impact of administration and inquiry skills on Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS; Exner, 1974, 1991, 1993) protocols collected for the Italian adult nonpatient reference sample. The same research team collected CS protocols on two occasions. The initial reference sample (N = 212; Lis, Rossi, & Priha, 1998) was collected under the supervision of experienced psychologists who...

AIM To describe the clinical phenotype in infants with ARC syndrome, the association of arthrogryposis, renal tubular acidosis, and cholestasis. METHODS The medical records for six patients with ARC syndrome were reviewed, presenting over 10 years to three paediatric referral centres. RESULTS All patients had the typical pattern of arthrogryposis. Renal Fanconi syndrome was present in all b...

Arthrogryposis is the name given to a group of musculoskeletal disorders characterized by multiple joint contractures through the body that are present at birth. There are many causes for congenital limitations of the range of motion of a joint. However, the most common form of arthrogryposis, present in 40% of cases, is a condition called amyoplasia. In many cases, abnormal nerve, muscle, and ...

INTRODUCTION This short paper presents a personal view of the thinking processes around the assessment and development of individualised management plans for dealing with the problems of the upper limb in Arthrogryposis in children. BACKGROUND The paper will offer a definition of arthrogryposis, its incidence and the range of anomalies. The problems associated with joint contractures are defi...

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a syndrome characterized by the presence of congenital contractures involving multiple joints usually with flexion deformities, with or without pterygia or webbing at the joints. The aim of this case report was to highlight the challenges of management of severe knee contractures in AMC and possible solutions in a resource-limited setting like ours. We pres...

Arthrogryposis has been the term used to describe multiple congenital contractures for over a century. It is a descriptive term and present in over 400 specific conditions. Responsible gene abnormalities have been found for more than 150 specific types of arthrogryposis. Decreased fetal movement is present in all affected individuals which leads to a variety of secondary deformations. Decreased...

We describe the first family report of ARC syndrome (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis) diagnosed in Turkey. ARC syndrome is a rare cause of cholestatic jaundice and skeletal abnormalities in the neonatal period. Fanconi-like renal tubular dysfunction completed the clinical picture. Consanguinity and affected membership are the other typical components of th...
