VATER/VACTERL association: clinical variability and expanding phenotype including laryngeal stenosis.

Vertebral abnormalities and anorectal and tracheoesophageal defects are the main manifestations in the VATER/VACTERL association. Radial defects vary from radial aplasia to thumb duplication. Heart and renal defects are reported with lower frequency. Additional malformations, such as the laryngeal stenosis described in the present patient, may expand the phenotype of the association. The wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities confirms the high clinical variability of VATER/VACTERL association which seems to be due to a disruption of blastogenesis. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

IL RUOLO DELLA CHIRURGIA NEL TRATTAMENTO DEI TUMORI GERMINALI IN ETA' PEDIATRICA: Analisi dello Studio Cooperativo "AIEOP TCG-'91.

Authors analyze the preliminary results of the first multicentric cooperative study on Germ Celkl Tumors in childhood (TCG 91). The Authors discuss the role of primary surgical procedure on the treatment of benign forms and of resectable malignant tumors.

THE ROLE OF SURGERY (s) IN THE TREATMENT OF GERM CELL TUMORS (GCT) IN CHILDHOOD. A Report from an Italian Multi-Istitutional Study (TCG-91)

GCT account for about 3% of all solidi Neoplasms in children. Because of the confusion as to their classification, diagnostic apporoach and treatment, a multi-istitutional study was carried and a National Protocol for Diagnosis and treatment of CGT (TCG-91), approved by AIEOP, straded in January 1991.

VIRTUAL ELEMENT METHOD FOR COMPUTATIONAL HOMOGENIZATIONS OF UNIDIRECTIONAL FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS

The Virtual Element Method (VEM) is a generalization of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the treatment of general polygonal/polyhedral mesh elements. Despite its recent introduction, VEM has been applied to several problems in structural mechanics. Due to such capability of dealing with mesh elements of general shape and of naturally addressing the presence of hanging nodes, the VEM ensures a noticeable simplification in the data preparation stage of the analysis, allowing implementing a mesh generation process over complex multi-domain geometries in a fully automated way. Moreover, for the lowest order VEM used in this contribution,no numerical integration is required to compute the sys…
