Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of hereditary diseases characterized by accumulation of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) due to deficiency or malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes. Difficult intubation is anticipated in these patients because of a variety of anatomical and functional abnormalities. We report the successful use of sevoflurane and laryngeal mask for airway management of a 15 year...

Dialogic approaches based on active student participation, open, respectful discussion, exploring and critiquing different perspectives are increasingly found to support learning. However, the specific productive forms of teacher-student interaction have rarely been studied systematically. A recent large-scale project explored relationship between dialogic learning outcomes for students aged 10...

Large volumes of genomic data have been generated for several plant species over the past decade, including structural sequence data and functional annotation at the genome level. Various technologies such as expressed sequence tags (ESTs), massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) and microarrays have been used to study gene expression and to provide functional data for many genes simulta...

Although it is well documented that children undergo a productive vocabulary spurt late in the second year, it is unclear whether this development is accompanied by equally significant advances in receptive word processing. In the present study, we tested an electrophysiological procedure for assessing receptive word learning in young children, and the impact of productive vocabulary size for p...
