HUTCHINSON-GILFORD SYNDROME
Recent studies suggest that, as in other aging syndromes, the Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome is due to a defect in the mechanism of DNA repair. Mutations have been found in the Lamin A gene (LMNA) situated on chromosome 1.

Galaxy-Quasar Associations: Is the Big Bang Bung?
When we see a galaxy and a quasar near each other in the sky, it might be because they are really near each other, or it might be that they are far apart and just along the same line of sight. Tests performed by Alan Stockton (Astrophysical Journal 223:747-757, "The Nature of QSO Redshifts", 1978) on a sample of such pairs have shown that some galaxy-quasar pairs have the same redshift and so are accepted as being at the same distance. Other pairs with very different redshifts however have been

BiogerontologÃa (2011)
El objetivo de esta asignatura es introducir al estudiante-visitante de esta materia en el apasionante mundo del envejecimiento abordado desde un punto de vista Bio-Psico-Social sin que esta gradación suponga domino de un componente sobre los otros. Por necesidades formativas, nosotros nos centraremos de forma más especÃfica en el área biológica del envejecimiento, es decir en la biogerontologÃa, pero no perderemos el contexto general que nos enmarca y también abordaremos aspectos psicolÃ

PediNeuroLogic Exam: 3 Month Old: Normal: Motor - Upper Extremity Tone
In the newborn, flexor tone is predominate. After the first few weeks, the flexor tone is less. Passive range of motion is still met with resistance but with the appropriate amount. The hand pulled across the body to the opposite shoulder still does not extend beyond the shoulder. A neuroscience tutorial focusing on those aspects of the pediatric neurological examination that are unique to the child's nervous system, with an emphasis on important neurodevelopmental milestones.
PediNeuroLogic Exam: 6 Month Old: Normal: Postural Reflexes - Positive Support Reflex
Some consider the positive support reflex as a primitive reflex, but others consider it a postural reflex. I think it is a postural reflex because it is necessary for erect posture and blends into volitional standing. Infants with prenatal or perinatal corticospinal tract disease will often refuse to support their weight on their feet. The positive support reflex is the first postural reflex to develop and is present by 3 to 4 months of age. When the baby is placed in vertical suspension with th
PediNeuroLogic Exam: Newborn: Abnormal: Positions - Ventral Suspension
In ventral suspension the baby is draped over the supporting hand. His head is on his chest and is not kept in the same plane as the trunk. The trunk is too rounded and the extremities are extended. The baby makes some effort to straighten his back so there is some strength, but the effort is less than it should be.

Cranial Nerve Exam: Anatomy: Cranial Nerve 5
The entry zone for this cranial nerve is at the mid pons with the motor and main sensory (discriminatory touch) nucleus located at the same level. The axons for the descending tract of the 5th nerve (pain and temperature) descend to the level of the upper cervical spinal cord before they synapse with neurons of the nucleus of the descending tract of the 5th nerve. Second order neurons then cross over and ascend to the VPM of the thalamus. The first principle of neurologic diagnosis is regional o
