VACTERL Association with Situs Inversus Totalis: A Unique Combination
Neonatal Network : NN
|August 31, 2019
Summary
This case report details the first North American occurrence of VACTERL association with situs inversus totalis (SIT) in an infant. It highlights the complex diagnosis of respiratory distress in newborns with rare congenital anomalies.
Area of Science:
- Medical Genetics
- Pediatric Surgery
- Neonatology
Background:
- VACTERL association is a rare, sporadic condition involving multiple congenital malformations.
- Situs inversus totalis (SIT) and esophageal malformations are infrequently associated with VACTERL.
- This report documents the first North American case of VACTERL association with SIT.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the first North American case of VACTERL association with Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT).
- To emphasize the diagnostic challenges and clinical considerations for respiratory distress in infants with complex congenital anomalies.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of an infant diagnosed with VACTERL association and SIT.
- Review of physical examination findings and imaging studies.
Main Results:
- The infant presented with a rare combination of VACTERL malformations and SIT.
- Physical exam and imaging revealed findings consistent with both conditions.
Conclusions:
- Respiratory distress in term infants necessitates thorough investigation due to potentially complex etiologies.
- Simultaneous occurrence of VACTERL association and SIT presents unique diagnostic and clinical challenges.

01:18Other Unique Bacteria
423
Magnetic bacteria exhibit a directed movement called magnetotaxis, driven by structures called magnetosomes. These magnetosomes consist of chains of magnetic particles made of either magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or greigite (Fe₃S₄) and are organized in a linear conformation by a protein scaffold within invaginations of the cell membrane. The bacteria align along the north–south magnetic field lines, much like a compass needle. They are typically microaerophilic or anaerobic...

01:16Second Uniqueness Theorem
2.6K
Consider a region consisting of several individual conductors with a definite charge density in the region between these conductors. The second uniqueness theorem states that if the total charge on each conductor and the charge density in the in-between region are known, then the electric field can be uniquely determined.
In contrast, consider that the electric field is non-unique and apply Gauss's law in divergence form in the region between the conductors and the integral form to the surface...

One of the core constructs in social psychology is the notion of an attitude toward an object or person. Traditionally, psychologists measured attitudes by simply asking people to self-report their beliefs, opinions, or feelings. This approach has limitations, however, when measuring socially sensitive attitudes, like racial prejudice, because people are often motivated to self-report unprejudiced, egalitarian beliefs (despite...

01:21Association Areas of the Cortex
9.0K
Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

01:27Associative Learning
1.3K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
