A new syndrome of short stature, Joint Limitation and muscle hypertrophy.
Clinical genetics, 2008Co-Authors: Michael Soljak, Salim Aftimos, Peter D. GluckmanAbstract:A further case is presented of a new growth deficiency syndrome first reported by Myre et al. in 1981. The major clinical features are mental retardation, growth deficiency, muscular hypertrophy, Joint Limitation and abnormal skeletal radiography.

Optimal Synthesis of a Surgical Robot Manipulators for Lumbar Stenosis
2006 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2006Co-Authors: Yi Cao, Girard FabianAbstract:The paper presents a novel mechanism of a surgical robot for lumbar stenosis, LSRobot. To optimize the mechanism of the robot arm, optimum design method based on multi-factor model, including maximum dexterity, workspace, Joint Limitation, and configuration orientation of Joint variable (COJV), is proposed. The results are useful for the optimum design of the robot manipulator, and provided some helpful revelation to hatch other robots as well. Compared with other approaches, the optimal synthesis method considered more comprehensive and was more readily available. Preliminary experiments show that the proposed surgical robot can be operated with an acceptable degree of positional error.

hemizygosity at the elastin locus and clinical features of williams syndrome
American Journal of Human Genetics, 1994Co-Authors: Y. Morimoto, Akira Kuwano, Katsuko KuwajimaAbstract:Williams syndrome is a recognizable syndrome characterized by distinctive facial appearance, gregarious personality, mental retardation, congenital heart defect, particularly supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), and Joint Limitation. SVAS is an autosomal vascular disorder and the elastin gene was disrupted in patients with SVAS. Ewat et al. reported that hemizygosity at the elastin locus was detected in four familial and five sporadic cases of Williams syndrome. However, three patients did not have SVAS. We reconfirmed hemizygosity at the elastin locus in five patients with typical clinical features of Williams syndrome. Hemizygosity was detected in four cases with SVAS. However, one patient with distinctive facial appearance and typical Williams syndrome personality had two alleles of the elastin gene, but he did not have the congenital heart anomaly. Williams syndrome is thought to be a contiguous gene disorder. Thus, our data suggest that the elastin gene is responsible for the vascular defect in patients with Williams syndrome, and flanking genes are responsible for characteristic facial appearance and personality.
