Sugammadex is associated with better respiratory recovery than neostigmine following reversal of anaesthesia-associated neuromuscular blockade in the morbidly obese patients following elective laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery, 2018
Complete and reliable neuromuscular reversal is important to successful anaesthetic recovery in the morbidly obese patient undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Our goal was to determine whether sugammadex, a selective reversal agent is associated with better

Absence of Syndactyly Associated With the Common Apert FGFR2 S252W Mutation: A Clinical Report and Likely Molecular Explanation

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apert syndrome is a recognizable craniofacial condition characterized by craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, exorbitism, midface hypoplasia, and complex symmetrical bony and cutaneous ‘mitten’ syndactyly of all four limbs. Around 98% of affected patients have one of two heterozygous missense variants in the FGFR2 gene, encoding either p ...

Case Series of Nizon‐Isidor Syndrome by Heterozygous Variants in MED12L With Further Evidence of Mitotic Instability in One Case With Diploid–Triploid Mosaicism

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nizon‐Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7‐year‐old female who presented with developmental delay, right‐leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin ...
