Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis in male sibs

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL GENETICS, Issue 4 2002
D. Ross McLeod
Abstract Male siblings developed acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHL) at age five months and eight months, respectively. This rare condition has not been reported in individuals less than two years of age or with a recurrence in the family. The diagnosis was based on neuropathologic features after ruling out potentially mimicking conditions. Genetic counseling of early onset AHL should include the possibility of recurrence in siblings. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

Problems for Linguistic Solutions to the Paradox of Analysis

METAPHILOSOPHY, Issue 4 2001
Jeffrey Cobb
G. E. Moore opined that the paradox of analysis might be avoided if it could be shown that sentences expressing conceptual analyses convey information not only about concepts, but also about the expressions they use. If so, "to be a brother is to be a male sibling" and "to be a brother is to be a brother" might express the same proposition, and yet not be identical in information value as the paradox suggests. How sentences might do this, Moore could not see. Many philosophers have pointed out an obvious way in which sentences might be said to convey information about the expressions they use. Some have suggested this information might be used to develop Moore's intuition and resolve the paradox of analysis. I argue that this approach fails. I present a version of the paradox of analysis that resists this sort of solution. [source]

Enlarged vestibular aqueduct in two male siblings

DEVELOPMENTAL MEDICINE & CHILD NEUROLOGY, Issue 10 2002
C M Varghese MSc MRCP FRCPCH
This report describes the case history of two male siblings with sensorineural hearing loss and an enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). Sibling 1 presented with a history of intermittent self-limiting ataxia and hearing loss at the age of 25 months and sibling 2 presented with a similar history at the age of 18 months. MRI showed an enlarged endolymphatic duct and sac bilaterally in both children. Perchlorate discharge tests were positive in both infants leading to a diagnosis of Pendred syndrome. A number of conditions associated with EVA are discussed with a view to devising management strategies. [source]

A new report of mesomelic camptomelia, polydactyly and Dandy,Walker complex in siblings

PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS, Issue 5 2003
S. Planas
Abstract Two male siblings with several malformations are reported. The anomalies detected in both fetuses were mesomelic camptomelia, postaxial hexadactyly and Dandy,Walker complex. There was only one similar previous report in the literature. This combination could represent a specific pattern of malformation or a new syndrome, with different variants. The parents' consanguinity and the recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy suggest an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
