Short umbilical cord syndrome, also known as the limb-body wall malformation complex and the body stalk anomaly, is a poorly defined sporadic group of congenital anomaly charaterized by a complex set of disruptive abnormalities having in common the failured closure of the ventral body wall. This disorder is charaterized by a short or absent umbilical cord and disruption of the lateral body wall, spine, limbs, face, and cranium, isolated or in combination. Recently, we present a case of short umbilical cord syndrome which found in a term baby, so we report a case of short umbilical cord syndrome with brief review of literature.

OBJECTIVES: It has been constantly reported that mismatch negativity (MMN) is impaired in patients with schizophrenia. However, the mechanism which relates impaired MMN and schizophrenia is not clear yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between MMN and clinical variables including functional status in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS: The present study assessed MMN using passive auditory oddball task in 26 patients with schizophrenia and 48 healthy controls. Repeated measures Analysis of Variance with age as a covariate was carried out for comparing peak amplitude and latency of MMN at 8 central line electrodes (FPz, Fz, FCz, Cz, CPz, Pz, POz, Oz) across groups. Pearson's correlation was performed to reveal the relationship between MMN and clinical variables including neurocognitive test results and the Global Assessment of Functioning score. RESULTS: MMN amplitude was significantly reduced in patients with schizophrenia compared with healthy controls. Pearson's correlation showed that subsets of short form of Korean Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale scores and GAF scores were associated with MMN amplitude in patients with schizophrenia. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that MMN amplitude is associated with current functional status including cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia.

A 5-month-old male infantshowed greasy sealy papules on the scalp, dirty scaly papules on the trunk and scaly petechial papules on both the palms and soles since birth. When admitted to the hospital, the patient exhibited lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, abdominal distension, mild fever and skin eruption. The biopsy specimens from the skin and lymph node showed an infiltrate composed almost entirely of histiocytic cells with irregularly shaped nuclei and abundant, well demarcated cytoplasm. The histiocytic cells of the infiltrate were proved as Langerhans cells by electron microscopic examination and S-100 protein study. He was treated with methotrexate 30mg/m twice a week and prednisolone 40mg/m daily. Initially skin lesions and general condition were improved, but the patient expired. due to septicemia after 3 months.
