Surgical treatment of type I neuritis in a teenage boy with borderline tuberculoid leprosy

Exacerbation of the immune response against Mycobacterium leprae can lead to neuritis, which is commonly treated via immunosuppression with corticosteroids. Early neurolysis may be performed concurrently, especially in young patients with a risk of functional sequelae. We report the case of a young patient experienced intense pain in the left elbow one year after the treatment of tuberculoid-tuberculoid leprosy. The pain was associated with paresthesias in the ulnar edge and left ulnar claw. After evaluation, the diagnosis was changed to borderline tuberculoid leprosy accompanied with neuritis of the left ulnar nerve. Early neurolysis resulted in rapid reduction of the pain and recovery of motor function.

Insertional translocation of 15q25-q26 into 11p13 and duplication at 8p23.1 characterized by high resolution arrays in a boy with congenital malformations and aniridia

We report on a boy presenting submucous cleft palate, hydronephrosis, ventriculoseptal defect, aniridia, and developmental delay. Additional material on 11p13 was cytogenetically visible and array analyses identified a duplicated segment on 15q25-26 chromosome region; further, array analyses revealed a small deletion (49?kb) at 11p13 region involving the ELP4 gene and a duplication at 8p23.1. Results were confirmed with both molecular and molecular cytogenetics techniques. Possibilities for etiological basis of clinical phenotype are discussed. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It rhymes! proposta di sottotitoli del cortometraggio animato "The Boy in the bubble" di Kealan O'Rourke

Questa tesi nasce innanzitutto dalla mia esperienza di tirocinio curriculare, durante la quale ho sottotitolato un cortometraggio irlandese di animazione narrato in rima (oltre che dalla mia passione antica per il cinema in lingua originale e più recente per il doppiaggio). La tesi si compone di tre capitoli. Inizia con l'analisi di una parte della teoria del sottotitolaggio, poi presenta il filmato, alcuni suoi autori, il testo originale e i miei sottotitoli, e si conclude con la spiegazione del metodo usato per realizzare concretamente l'adattamento.

Shyam Selvadurai's Funny Boy: a critical analysis

In this work, I will try to provide an insightful and accessible analysis of Funny Boy, a coming-of-age novel by Sri Lankan Canadian author Shyam Selvadurai. I will provide a brief biography of the author and a concise outline of the historical context. Subsequently, after discussing the novel's structure and its main characteristics, I will proceed to analyze the significance of the novel's title and the role played by ethnicity and sexuality as equivalent sources of alienation, both individually and through their combined agency. To that end, I will focus on what I consider to be the most salient episodes of the novel that, in my opinion, best exemplify the sense of alienation that any individual belonging to a minority group experiences at some point in their lives in mainstream society.

La superficie di Boy: una immersione del piano proiettivo nello spazio ordinario

È ben noto che non è possibile definire un embedding dello spazio proiettivo P^2(R) in R^3. Werner Boy nel 1901 provò per via teorica l’esistenza di un’immersione di P^2 in R^3: l’immagine di tale immersione è nota come superficie di Boy. Successivamente tale immersione venne fornita esplicitamente e si dimostrò che la superficie di Boy poteva essere ottenuta deformando la superficie romana di Steiner. Quest’ultima è una rappresentazione di P^2(R) in R^3 che non è tuttavia un’immersione, per la presenza di punti singolari detti pinch points.

[Follow-up in a boy with Leydig cell tumor after selective surgery]

A 8(6/12) year-old-boy presented with precocious puberty and a slightly enlarged left testis. After a detailed examination a Leydig cell tumour was diagnosed. Surgical exploration revealed an encapsulated tumour, 2.7 cm in length, which was selectively removed without orchidectomy. Within one year the clinical signs of pubertal precocity disappeared, the bone age did not further advance and height velocity declined from 8.2 cm / year (+3.9 SDS) to 4.1 cm/year (-1.0 SDS). Physiologically, he entered puberty at the chronological age of twelve years, presenting at that age, in comparison to his peer group, a slightly decreased pubertal growth spurt. However, bearing in mind that being precocious in puberty he started in fact his pubertal growth spurt at a far earlier age, therefore, this acceleration of height before operation has to be added to the centimetres gained during pubertal development thereafter resuiting consequently in an absolute normal pubertal growth spurt. This underlines the fact that the individual growth spurt and, therefore, the total amount of centimetres gained is very much robust. Ten years later, the patient ended up well within his familial target height and remained free of disease. We report on a long-term follow-up of a prepubertal boy after testis-sparing surgery for Leydig-cell-tumour.

Aromatase deficiency caused by a novel P450arom gene mutation: impact of absent estrogen production on serum gonadotropin concentration in a boy.

We identified a new point mutation in the CYP19 gene responsible for aromatase (P450arom) deficiency in a 46,XY male infant with unremarkable clinical findings at birth. This boy is homozygote for a 1-bp (C) deletion in exon 5 of the aromatase gene causing a frame-shift mutation. The frame-shift results in a prematurely terminated protein that is inactive due to the absence of the functional regions of the enzyme. Aromatase deficiency was suspected prenatally because of the severe virilization of the mother during the early pregnancy, and the diagnosis was confirmed shortly after birth. Four weeks after birth, the baby boy showed extremely low levels of serum estrogens, but had a normal level of serum free testosterone; in comparison with the high serum concentration of androstenedione at birth, a striking decrease occurred by 4 weeks postnatally. We previously reported elevated basal and stimulated FSH levels in a female infant with aromatase deficiency in the first year of life. In contrast, in the male infant, basal FSH and peak FSH levels after standard GnRH stimulation tests were normal. This finding suggests that the contribution of estrogen to the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadotropin-gonadal feedback mechanism is different in boys and girls during infancy and early childhood. In normal girls, serum estradiol concentrations strongly correlate with circulating inhibin levels, and thus, low inhibin levels may contribute to the striking elevation of FSH in young girls with aromatase deficiency. In contrast, estradiol levels are physiologically about a 7-fold lower in boys than in girls, and serum inhibin levels remain elevated even though levels of FSH, LH, and testosterone are decreased.

Old-Boy Network: Militärdienst und ziviler Berufserfolg in der Schweiz

Eine zumindest bis vor kurzem in der Schweiz noch populäre Ansicht lautet, dass eine Karriere in der Armee den beruflichen Erfolg im zivilen Leben stark befördert. Obwohl militärische und berufliche Karriere als Besonderheit des schweizerischen Milizsystems im biografischen Verlauf miteinander verschränkt sind, bleibt aber der tatsächliche Einfluss der militärischen Karriere auf den Berufserfolg empirisch noch nachzuweisen. Zudem ist auch die Frage nach den möglichen Gründen zu stellen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist also erstens die empirische Prüfung des positiven Effekts der militärischen auf die zivile Karriere. Zweitens sollen mögliche Ursachen gegenübergestellt werden. Als solche werden insbesondere Selbstselektion, der Erwerb von Humankapital (Führungskompetenzen) und der Aufbau eines wirkungsvollen Beziehungsnetzes in Betracht gezogen. Die Analysen anhand der Daten des Schweizer Arbeitsmarktsurveys 1998 zeigen erstens, dass höhere militärische Ränge auch bei Kontrolle von Bildung und Berufserfahrung mit erhöhtem Erwerbseinkommen einhergehen. Zweitens zeigt sich, dass dieser Einkommensbonus allem Anschein nach weder auf Mechanismen der Selbstselektion noch auf dem Erwerb von besonders gewinnbringendem Humankapital beruht. Vielmehr ist zu vermuten, dass der größere Berufserfolg von Milizoffizieren mit ihrem an "wertvollen" Beziehungen reichen sozialen Netzwerk zusammenhängt.
