• 1.   A case of ADHD and a major Y chromosome abnormality

  This case report discusses a male child with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity and a major de-novo Y chromosome abnormality consisting of deletion of the long arm and duplication of the short arm

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND: ADHD is a common, heritable disorder of childhood. Sex chromosome abnormalities are relatively rare conditions that are sometimes associated with behavioral disorders. METHOD: The authors present a male child with ADHD and a major de-novo Y chromosome abnormality consisting of deletion of the long arm and duplication of the short arm. It is possible that the Y chromosomal more...

  Hairy polyps or dermoids are rare, benign congenital tumours of the oronasopharynx containing elements of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. They occur most commonly in young infants and can cause respiratory distress or failure to thrive due to feeding difficulties. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and barium video fluoroscopy can be useful in delineating the origin more...

  This case report discusses a case of autoimmune progesterone dermatitis in a parturient who required emergency caesarean section

  

  Abstract:

  A parturient with a 14-year history of autoimmune progesterone dermatitis presented in labour at 36 weeks' gestation. She had suffered recurrent episodes of angioedema over a long period and had been scheduled for elective caesarean hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy at 37 weeks' gestation. In most cases surgical oophorectomy provides prolonged relief from the recurrent angioedema more...

  Abstract:

  Terminal deletion of chromosome 4q is a genetic abnormality associated predominantly with cardiac abnormalities, abnormal facial features, and developmental delay. A specific clinical clue to this infrequently diagnosed disorder is hypoplasia of the terminal phalanx of the fifth finger with an abnormal nail, occasionally extending onto the volar surface. Ocular manifestations of the more...

  These case reports discuss the cases of 2 related Irish families with clinically severe carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome deficiency in whom the gene mutation has been fully elucidated

  

  Abstract:

  Carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), found in renal tubules, brain, and osteoclasts, is critical in acid-base homeostasis and bone remodeling. Deficiency of CAII gives rise to a syndrome of osteopetrosis, renal tubular acidosis (RTA), and cerebral calcification with associated developmental delay. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and found most frequently in the Mediterranean more...

  This case report discusses a selection of cases managed with botulinum toxin and review the current data on use of the toxin to treat salivary gland disorders - Frey's syndrome, excessive salivation, hyperhidrosis, lacrimation and chronic rhinitis.

  

  Abstract:

  SUMMARY: The use of botulinum toxin to treat disorders of the salivary glands is increasing in popularity in recent years. Recent reports of the use of botulinum toxin in glandular hypersecretion suggest overall favourable results with minimal side-effects. However, few randomised clinical trials means that data are limited with respect to candidate suitability, treatment dosages, more...

  Abstract:

  Lobar atelectasis is a common complication of cystic fibrosis. The majority of cases respond to intravenous antibiotics and chest physiotherapy. In a subgroup of patients, atelectasis is resistant to medical therapy, and its persistence in the pediatric population is associated with a poor prognosis. Bronchoscopic instillation of human recombinant DNase expanded atelectatic lobes in more...

  Abstract:

  We report the case of a 14-year-old boy who developed Kawasaki disease at 5 months of age. The patient developed severe aneurysmal disease of both the left and right coronary arteries. He eventually developed total calcified occlusion of the right coronary artery despite long-term treatment with aspirin.

  BACKGROUND: Classic metaphyseal lesion (CML) is the term given to a fracture that most often occurs in the posteromedial aspect of the distal femur, proximal tibia, distal tibia, and proximal humerus in infants; this finding is strongly associated with non-accidental injury. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that the CML may occur following simple lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). more...

  Abstract:

  Congenital cardiac diverticula are rare abnormalities that may occur as isolated malformations. They are often associated with pericardial effusions, which may cause both pulmonary hypoplasia and progressive fetal hydrops. Few cases are reported in fetal life. Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, has previously reported two cases of cardiac diverticula complicated with pericardial effusion more...
