OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of fetal bone dysplasias diagnosed at the Department of Maternal Fetal Medicine (UNIMEF) of the Instituto Nacional de Perinatologia (INPer); and to describe the most frequent skeletal dysplasias and... more
Purpose: The present study aimed to compare Musculoskeletal Discomforts (MSDs) among six different common postures while working with laptop in female students of University of Tehran, Tehran City, Iran. Methods: This was a crossover... more
Catedra Chirurgie, Ortopedie şi Anesteziologie Pediatrică, USMF „Nicolae Testemiţanu”Lucrarea este bazată pe studierea și tratamentul a 98 copii în vârstă de la 9 zile până la 15 ani, cu deformații congenitale multiple ale aparatului... more
We describe direct repair of congenital complete sternal cleft in a 35-year-old woman, using titanium plates fixed by pre-drilled screws to the manubrium and costal cartilages. This provided excellent protective and cosmetic results.
Background/Aim. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, congenital anomalies are all disorders of the organs or tissues, regardless of whether they are visible at birth or manifest in life, and are registered in the... more
Angelman's syndrome (AS) is a genetic neurodevelopment disorder. The cause is a known abnormality involving the maternal inherited ubiquitin-protein ligase (UBE3A) gene. Clinical characteristics universal to the disorder are well... more
Hypomorphic mutation in one allele of ribosomal protein l24 gene (Rpl24) is responsible for the Belly Spot and Tail (Bst) mouse, which suffers from defects of the eye, skeleton, and coat pigmentation. It has been hypothesized that these... more
There are more than 450 well-characterized skeletal dysplasias classified primarily on the basis of clinical, radiographic, and molecular criteria. In the latest 2010 revision of the Nosology and Classification of Genetic Skeletal... more
We report a neonate with prenatal ultrasound imaging features suggestive of CLOVES syndrome, confirmed postnatally by clinical and imaging findings of the constellation of truncal overgrowth, cutaneous capillary malformations, lymphatic... more
Congenital lipomatous asymmetric overgrowth of the trunk, lymphatic, capillary, venous, and combined-type vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, skeletal and spinal anomalies (CLOVES) syndrome, a segmental overgrowth syndrome, is caused... more
BackgroundCongenital anomalies are the consequence of a complex interaction between genetic predisposition and fetal environment. Based on the Congenital Anomalies Surveillance in Canada Report, between 1998 and 2007 the rate of... more
Noncardiac components of genetic disorders can complicate the operative and postoperative courses of pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Prolonged hospital stay, increased treatment cost, morbidity, and death are more likely in this... more
Pediatric temporomandibular joint dysfunction, resulting from either soft-tissue or skeletal disorders, may be congenital or acquired. Congenital temporomandibular joint disorders are uncommon. The authors review their experience with... more
Birth defects (BD) constitute an important public health issue as they are the main cause of infant death. Their prevalence in Europe for 2008-2012 was 25.6 per 1000 newborns. To date, there are no population-based studies for the Russian... more
Netobimin (NTB) is a prodrug of albendazole (ABZ) and is used as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic both in human and veterinary medicine. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were treated po with 50, 59.5 and 70.7 mg/kg of NTB on Gestational Day (GD)... more
Structural defects of the posterior arch of the atlas are rare, and range from clefts of variable location and size to more extensive defects such as complete agenesis. These abnormalities are usually incidental radiological findings. We... more
Mutations in ROR2 result in a spectrum of genetic disorders in humans that are classified, depending on the nature of the mutation and the clinical phenotype, as either autosomal dominant brachydactyly type B (BDB,MIM 113000) or recessive... more
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is an alternative to open thoracotomy. We analyzed our experience during a consecutive series of 100 patients who had this procedure and who were available for study at 3-year followup. Video-assisted... more
Hypomorphic mutation in one allele of ribosomal protein l24 gene (Rpl24) is responsible for the Belly Spot and Tail (Bst) mouse, which suffers from defects of the eye, skeleton, and coat pigmentation. It has been hypothesized that these... more
We evaluated the results of arthroscopic meniscectomy in patients with discoid lateral menisci of the knee. Discoid lateral menisci were detected in 308 patients, of whom 197 (124 males, 73 females; mean age 34.5 years, range 6-67) were... more
This paper highlights the hemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy (HPHA) syndrome as a unique presentation of the parkinsonian state. Clinically relevant diagnostic and treatment aspects are reviewed. We report a case of HPHA, in a 21-year-old,... more
