Foehn wind means "hairdryer," and the form "phon" is used in French-speaking parts of Switzerland as well as in Italy. The form "fen" is used in Croatia and Slovenia. Regionally, these winds are known by many different names. These include: Foehn wind A föhn or foehn (, ) is a type of dry, warm, down-slope wind that occurs in the lee (downwind side) of a mountain range. It is a rain shadow wind that results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air that has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes ("see" orographic lift). As a consequence of the different adiabatic
Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I is a rare autosomal dominant condition. This condition is evident at birth and is associated with a very poor prognosis for the baby. It may be diagnosed antenatally. This condition is caused by mutations in the filamin B (FLNB) gene. This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p14). Filamin B forms part of the actin cytoskeleton. How these mutations produce the clinical picture is not yet clear. This is a rare condition with a prevalence of < 1/10. The total number of cases reported to date is <20. Clinical features
