Extractions: Thalidomide malformations are almost all bilateral/symmetrical. That means both sides of the body are affected in the same way (both arms, both legs, all four). When taken during pregnancy (particularly the first trimester) thalidomide causes malformations to almost any part of the body that is developing at the time the drug is taken. These are just some resulting malformations: Missing or malformed limbs (bilateral) No ears or deafness Missing or extra fingers or toes Partial or total loss of sight Improper formation of the heart, kidney and other internal organs
Extractions: Síndrome de Trombocitopenia com Ausência de Radio (TAR) Josefina Aparecida Pellegrini Braga* Claudia Gonçalves Paiva Yona** *Professora Adjunta **Especializanda em Hematologia Pediatrica Disciplina de Especialidades Pediátricas/Departamento de Pediatria Setor de Hematologia Pediátrica E-mail: pellegrinibraga@aol.com.br Introdução: A Síndrome de Trombocitopenia com Ausência de Rádio (TAR) é uma desordem congênita rara que cursa com malformações esqueléticas e anormalidades hematológicas. A trombocitopenia pode estar presente ao nascimento ou durante o período neonatal e sua intensidade varia, sendo sua causa não bem esclarecida. A evolução geralmente é benigna e o risco de mortalidade é maior no primeiro ano de vida. Objetivo: Descrever um caso de uma paciente com Síndrome de TAR, uma desordem hematológica rara. Método e Resultados: Relato de caso de uma paciente com Síndrome de TAR que dentre as anormalidades esqueléticas apresenta agenesia de úmero, ulna e rádio bilateral com a presença de polegares, hipoplasia falangeana dos quintos quirodáctilos, cavalgamento dos quintos sobre os quartos pododáctilos.Apresenta também trombocitopenia a desde o primeiro mês de vida, necessitando de transfusão de plaquetas aos 7 e 9 meses devido a sangramento mucoso ativo. Dentre os exames complementares, apresenta um DEB teste negativo, mielograma com hipoplasia megacariocítica acentuada e sorologias negativas. Conclusão: Apesar de ser uma desordem hematológica rara, a Síndrome de TAR deve ser incluída no diagnóstico diferencial de trombocitopenias no período neonatal.

Extractions: Evangeline an infinitely precious person Evangeline Edwards (pictured with her sister and brothers) was born with a very rare condition called Thrombocytopenia Absent Radius (TAR) syndrome in December 1994. People with TAR syndrome have a blood clotting deficiency, shortened arms and bowed legs. Evangelines parents found out that she had a disability during a routine scan half way through the pregnancy. They were strongly encouraged to consider abortion, which they refused. Evangeline is now doing very well in a mainstream school. She walks short distances with callipers, and also uses a wheelchair. Life is not always easy for her but she has a lot of friends and enjoys many activities. She is a very bright child, who has always had an inquisitive and determined nature. Sue, her mother, says, Words will never describe how much we love her. Membership form

Extractions: Duke University Commercially available tricycles for individuals with disabilities are relatively uncommon. Those tricycles that do exist cater toward a broader range of people and therefore do not address the specific needs of an individual. Such vehicles can also become very costly. The aim of this project is to modify an existing tricycle to allow a child with Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radii (TAR) syndrome to independently maneuver the vehicle. Designs for three major systemssteering, mounting/dismounting, and pedalingwere developed and implemented. A final evaluation was performed to assess the credibility of the project.

Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by low levels of platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia), resulting in potentially severe bleeding episodes (hemorrhaging) primarily during infancy. Other characteristic findings include absence (aplasia) of the bone on the thumb side of the forearms (radii) and underdevelopment (hypoplasia) or absence of the bone on the "pinky" side of the forearms (ulnae). Other abnormalities may also be present, such as structural malformations of the heart (congenital heart defects), kidney (renal) defects, and/or mental retardation that may be secondary to bleeding episodes in the skull (intracranial hemorrhages) during infancy. TAR syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
