Thyroid underactivity in the newborn(neonatal hypothyroidism). Thyroid failure in the newborn, if unrecognized, can be disastrous because delay in treatments results in permanent mental deficiency(cretinism). In the developed world the most common cause of congenital hypothyroidism is poor development or incomplete descent of the thyroid gland from its original site at the base of the tongue. 2, record 1, English, - neonatal%20hypothyroidism

Miscellaneous Aspects of Geomembranes. Seams.... The topic can... be viewed from the aspect of factory seams. The individual geomembrane sheets are usually made into larger sheets by factory seaming them together. These seams are generally quite good, having been made in a controlled and clean environment with good quality control. The resulting panels are then brought to the project site and now field seamed to their final configuration. It is the field seams that are particularly vulnerable to problems. When quality control is poor leaks invariably arise. 1, record 2, English, - field%20seam
