Epidemiology of uveitis in Switzerland.

During the period from January 1990 to December 1993, 558 new patients (250 female and 308 male, mean age 44 years; range 5-92) were seen at the Uveitis Clinic of the Hopital Jules Gonin. These 558 patients (740 eyes) were subdivided into anterior uveitis (343 patients-61%), intermediate uveitis (57 patients-10%), posterior uveitis (118 patients-21 %) and panuveitis (40 patients-7%). The incidence of uveitis for the referral area considered was calculated to be 17.5 per 100,000 inhabitants per year. A specific diagnosis was found in 386 cases (69%). The most frequently diagnosed entities were HLA-B27-associated acute anterior uveitis (89 cases-15.9%), uveitis associated with acute herpes zoster ophthalmicus (54 cases-9.7%), toxoplasmosis (53 cases-9.5%), sarcoidosis (33 cases-5.9%), typical pars planitis (31 cases-5.6%), Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (30 cases-5.4%), herpetic anterior uveitis (23 cases-4.1 %) and acute retinal necrosis (13 cases-2.3%). Incidence and distribution of most disease entities correspond to those of other European and American series.

Estructura del macizo ofiolítico de Moa (NE de Cuba) según la interpretación del levantamiento aeromagnético 1:50.000

La reducción al polo, los gradientes horizontales, los mapas de relieves sombreados y la continuación analítica ascendente (CAA) constituyen transformaciones del campo magnético ampliamente utilizadas durante el estudio de la estructura geológica de una región. En la región de Moa (NE de Cuba) estas transformaciones se emplean para resaltar alineaciones en los datos magnéticos que constituyen estructuras tectónicas disyuntivas o zonas de contactos abruptos, así como la estructura geológica en profundidad. Con el análisis de estas transformaciones del campo se comprobó que los principales sistemas de fallas de la región de estudio se manifiestan en el comportamiento del campo magnético, particularmente en los mapas de relieve sombreados a partir de zonas alineadas. En estos mismos mapas se repiten alineaciones con dirección noroeste y noreste que no coinciden con las estructuras descritas en los mapas morfotectónico y geológico, destacando zonas que pueden constituir contactos tectónicos o litológicos no citados en trabajos anteriores. Para la mayoría de las estructuras, los mapas analizados sugieren posiciones, longitudes e incluso formas algo distintas a las señaladas en los mapas morfotectónico y geológico. A partir del modelaje interactivo en los perfiles de interpretación trazados a través de las principales anomalías, se deduce que loscuerpos anómalos poseen formas de cuñas y de capas verticales o ligeramente inclinadas en algunos de sus extremos. Además, yacen a poca profundidad (0-400 m), con la excepción de algunos cuerpos que pueden alcanzar más de 1000 m de profundidad en su límite inferior (perfil III-III' y XII-XII'). Estos resultados corroboran el carácter alóctono de las unidades ofiolíticas en esta región.

Descriptive epidemiology of Cornelia de Lange syndrome in Europe.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation syndrome consisting of characteristic dysmorphic features, microcephaly, hypertrichosis, upper limb defects, growth retardation, developmental delay, and a variety of associated malformations. We present a population-based epidemiological study of the classical form of CdLS. The data were extracted from the database of European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) database, a European network of birth defect registries which follow a standard methodology. Based on 23 years of epidemiologic monitoring (8,558,346 births in the 1980-2002 period), we found the prevalence of the classical form of CdLS to be 1.24/100,000 births or 1:81,000 births and estimated the overall CdLS prevalence at 1.6-2.2/100,000. Live born children accounted for 91.5% (97/106) of cases, fetal deaths 2.8% (3/106), and terminations of pregnancy following prenatal diagnosis 5.7% (6/106). The most frequent associated congenital malformations were limb defects (73.1%), congenital heart defects (45.6%), central nervous system malformations (40.2%), and cleft palate (21.7%). In the last 11 years, as much as 68% of cases with major malformations were not detected by routine prenatal US. Live born infants with CdLS have a high first week survival (91.4%). All patients were sporadic. Maternal and paternal age did not seem to be risk factors for CdLS. Almost 70% of patients, born after the 37th week of gestation, weighed <or=2,500 g. Low birth weight correlated with a more severe phenotype. Severe limb anomalies were significantly more often present in males.
