The orthosis was withdrawn at age 12. After 11 years of observation, the patellar dislocation had evolved from reducible to permanent, inducing a femorotibial subluxation with tibia external rotation in flexion (Figure 1). [hindawi.com]

Young-Simpson syndrome is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by congenital hypothyroidism, congenital heart defects, facial dysmorphism, cryptorchidism in males, hypotonia, mental retardation, and postnatal growth retardation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Males with the SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome typically have undescended testes ( cryptorchidism ). Females with this condition have normal genitalia. [familydiagnosis.com]

The prognosis for patients with super vena cava syndrome can be affected by many factors. However, it is highly dependent on the effectiveness of methods used to treat underlying conditions. [docdoc.com]
The best treatment algorithm remains to be defined and the prognosis appears to be poor. Treatment Treatment and prognosis of airway disease in SS have yet to be defined. [em-consulte.com]
Each variable should correlate independently with the prognosis of COPD, should be easily measurable, and should serve as a surrogate for other potentially important variables. [nejm.org]

The mutations that cause the SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome likely prevent the production of functional histone acetyltransferase from one copy of the KAT6B gene in each cell. [medlineplus.gov]
This includes both screenings and preventative care. This is accomplished through weight checks, listening to your baby’s heartbeat, routine blood work, and more. [verywell.com]
Chemotherapy drugs work by killing cancer cells or preventing them from growing. If the tumour is not responding well to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, which uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells, is recommended. [docdoc.com]
