Foehn wind environment with strong and gusty winds. Explanations of the foehn warming and drying effect in popular literature or on the web often single out just one causal mechanism (#1 - Condensation and Precipitation - in the below), but there are in fact four known causes (illustrated in the schematic at top right of this page). These mechanisms often act together, with their contributions varying depending on the size and shape of the mountain barrier and on the meteorological conditions, for example the upstream wind speed, temperature and humidity. 1) Condensation and precipitation: When air is forced upwards over elevated terrain,
Atelosteogenesis type I include Cardiorespiratory failure is due to pulmonary hypoplasia or tracheobronchial hypoplasia. This condition is evident at birth and may be diagnosed antenatally with ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. The infants may be still born. Those that are live born do not survive long. Radiological findings include This includes There is currently no curative treatment for this condition. Supportive management is all that is currently available. This condition was first described by Maroteaux et al. in 1982. Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I is a rare autosomal dominant condition. This condition is evident at birth and is associated with a very
