Extractions: 2 Year Old Boy Needs Adoption. Code: WCA-AIAA102637 Birthdate 05-02-02 11-19-04 UPDATE: This little guy continues to do better and better. He is now living in a rehabilitation center and receiving speech therapy on a regular basis. Recently some of his favorite things to do are to play outside in the sand and dirt, slide down the slide and play on the other outside equipment. His favorite past time however is water play. With the help of weekly speech therapy, his vocabulary is increasing and he is using two syllable words. He understands the parts of the body almost perfectly and all age appropriate conversation. This is a little one who spends a good deal of time putting toys together and building things. He has an excellent attention span. He feeds himself, dresses himself, with needing only a little help, and he puts his shoes and socks on by himself. His development is seen as age appropriate with some delays in language skills. 5/04 UPDATE: This little one has jut left his foster home and will be living in a rehabilitation center. His foster mother feels that although he is showing delays in his language acquisition, that his physical development is age appropriate and that he can follow simple instructions. Foster Mom describes this little one as "as very smart" and says that he is always interested in toys and looking at books and loves being read to. At this report (last month's visit) he was only using 5 or 6 words with meaning but was babbling a great deal to his foster family. This active and happy boy runs, uses stairs, kicks a ball, responds to praise, nurtures dolls and imitates adults actions.

Hell And The High Schools, By T.T. Martin 1923 Take as another example their word for longheadedness is dolicocephaly, andtheir word for round-headedness is brachycephaly ! http://www.creationism.org/books/MartinHellSchools/MartinHellSchoolsCh03.htm
Extractions: THE cry is raised, "Why disturb the common people about this? They don't know about Evolution; they cannot understand it." They can't? The Evolutionists do use high-sounding big words apparently to befog the people, and keep them in the dark. Philip Mauro, the New York lawyer, puts it pungently: "The exponents of science and philosophy usually adopt a style and vocabulary which effectually hide their meaning from 'the common people,' and which are well calculated to produce the impression that the subjects they discuss are too mysterious and profound to be understood by any but the few who (like themselves) are gifted with intellects of a superior order and possessed of knowledge unattainable by the ordinary man." Here is a sample: Herbert Spencer tells us what Evolution is: "Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant dissipation of motion, during which the matter passes from a relatively indefinite incoherent homogeneity to a relatively definite coherent heterogeneity and during which the retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." Take as another example: their word for long-headedness is "dolicocephaly," and their word for round-headedness is "brachycephaly"!

Extractions: by Beth A. Pletcher, MD, May 1999 Even though the majority of individuals with BWS represent new mutations or genetic event in the family, there are a number of reports of autosomal dominant transmission of this disorder. Because chromosomal duplications, cytogenetic translocations as well as monozygotic twins discordant for BWS have all been seen, it is clear that this is genetically heterogeneous and can occur post-zygotically resulting in somatic mosaicism (some cells with the BWS mutation and some without). In fully 10-20% of patients with BWS, molecular studies demonstrate paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) which suggests that there are two paternal #11 chromosomes and no maternal contribution. In all of these cases identified thus far mosaicism has been seen which suggests a post-zygotic error during cell division. Point mutations in three genes so far have been shown to cause BWS. First, mutations in p57kip2, a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, have been seen in: sporadic cases, many maternally transmitted BWS and a much smaller percentage of paternally transmitted BWS. This gene in particular has a high association with omphalocele and cleft palate.

A syndrome of excessive growth during the first 4 to 5 years of life, with cerebral gigantism and generalised large muscles in childhood, acromegalic features, and a nonprogressive cerebral disorder with nonprogressive mild mental retardation and defective coordination. After early childhood growth seems to approach normal, remaining, however, two standard deviations above means for chronological age. Birth weight and length greater than normal. Other principal features are dolicocephaly, macrocrania, hypertelorism, antimongoloid palpebral slant, high-arched palate, frontal bossing, mandibular prognathism, and precocious dentition. Occasionally, obesity, convulsions, abnormal dermatoglyphic pattern. Both sexes. Most cases are sporadic but some are transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.

If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor. A syndrome of severe developmental anomalies, marked by short-limbed dwarfism affecting the lower extremities, bowing of the lower limbs, genua vara, occasional genua valga, costochondral beading, enlarged wrists and ankles, enamel hypoplasia, delayed dentition, and premature loss of permanent dentition. Associated disorders include waddling gait, protuberant abdomen and, less commonly, dolicocephaly and craniosynostosis. It is a metabolic disturbance of hypophosphatemia, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, diminished tubular reabsorption of phosphate with resulting hyperphosphaturia, and faulty intestinal absorption of calcium. It is resistant to Vitamin-D therapy. Onset usually takes place after 6 months of age. Inheritance is X-linked.

MFS Glossary Marfan Syndrome (MIM 154700) is an autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissue, mainly affecting cardiovascular, ocular, skeletal and nervous system. Its prevalence is estimated to be 1:5.000. MFS is caused by mutations of the FBN1 gene ( MIM 134797) in more than 90% of cases, and by mutations of the gene (MIM 154705) in a minority of cases with prevalent cardio-skeletal involvement.

Extractions: Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with highly variable expression. It is characterized by craniofacial, cervical, auricular, ophthalmologic and oral anomalies. Extracraniofacial malformations are uncommon. Atrial Septal defect and Tetralogy of Fallots have been described in association with BOFS(1,2). Neuro-development is normal; cases of moderate to severe retardation with hypotonia, visual, hearing and speech problems have been reported. The molecular basis of the disorder has not been elucidated. The nipples were normally spaced. There was a grade II/VI systolic murmur heard at the pulmonic area. An umbilical hernia was present. Left postaxial polydactyly, bilateral single transverse palmar creases were present with absent interphalangeal creases on both thumbs. She had syndactyly of the left 4th and 5th toes. Dentition was normal and hair were sparse. Ultrasound abdomen revealed normal kidneys. Echocardiography demonstrated valvular pulmonic stenosis with no evidence of chamber hypertrophy. Puretone audiometry revealed severe sensorineural hearing loss. Karyotype was normal.
Neurological Examination Of Newborns And Infants Much attention should be paid to the head shape dolicocephaly, brachiocephaly,towerlike skull, left or right inclination are all variants of normal skull http://www.russianadoption.org/Neurologicalexaminationnewbornsandinfants.htm
Extractions: Meningeal signs It should be noted that neurological status of the newborns has some special features. The mainstay of investigation is the analysis of congenital reflexes which reflect the maturity if CNS, viability of the newborn and adaptation potential. The following conditions should be fulfilled during examination: comfortable room T (25-26), and it is not recommended to examine the child immediately postprandial or before feeding because feeding determinant can change the level of his congenital reflexes. It should be noted that congenital reflexes of newborns are very labile and are easily fatigued. One should elicit reflexes quickly and turn the child only after cranial and facial skeleton and cranial nerves have been already tested. It is important to look for dysembryological stigmata, which can be frequently encountered: abnormal earlobes (low amount of helixes, absence of earlobes, elongated upper part rabbit's ear, low set ears), wide nose bridge (hypertelorism), prognatism, low hair border.
