Abstract
We describe a technique of correction of a severe pouter pigeon breast. Three osteotomies were performed on the sternum, one resecting the curved fused angle of Louis. Multiples chondrotomies allowed to flatten the cartilage part. The reconstruction was firmly hardened with a STRATOS titanium device...

Prenatal developmental toxicity of gavage or feeding doses of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol in rats.
Abstract
This study evaluated the prenatal developmental toxicity of the pesticide 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (dinoseb). Pregnant rats were given dinoseb by gavage at 0, 8.0 or 10 mg/kg bw/day on days 6-15 of gestation, or in the diet at 0, 120 or 200 ppm (0, 6.52 or 8.50 mg/kg bw/day) on days 6-16 of ges...

We found many amphibians with bizarre appearances, known as malformations in Pingtung County southern Taiwan. For this investigation we collected frogs inhabiting the Kaoping and Tungkang river watersheds between February 2006 and June 2007. Among the total number of 10,909 normal frogs (i.e., anura...

Abstract
Kimmerle's anomaly also known as ponticulus posticus is a common anatomical variation of the atlas, the first cervical vertebra. It is the product of the complete or incomplete ossification of the posterior atlanto-occipital membrane over the vertebral artery groove resulting in the formation of a f...

Abstract
Chest pain and chest wall deformities are common in children. Although most children with chest pain have a benign diagnosis, some have a serious etiology for pain, so the complaint must be addressed carefully. Unfortunately, there are few prospective studies to evaluate this complaint in children....

We show the control over hydrogel degradation, both in the bulk and locally to cells to control both the distribution of extracellular matrix by cells and whether or not a cell spreads in the hydrogels. These signals are important in the final structure and mechanical properties of engineered tissue...

Abstract
Mutations in ROR2 result in a spectrum of genetic disorders in humans that are classified, depending on the nature of the mutation and the clinical phenotype, as either autosomal dominant brachydactyly type B (BDB, MIM 113000) or recessive Robinow syndrome (RRS, MIM 268310). In an attempt to model B...
