Cystic hygroma or cystic lymphangioma is a rare d e v e l o p m e n t a l c o n g e n i t a l l y m p h a t i c malformation. It is most commonly related to thorax and neck region but it can also involve axilla, mediastinum, limbs and face. It is characterized by multiloculated cystic lesion of variable sizes. Ultrasound is very important in the diagnosis of prenatal cystic hygroma but it is also important in the characterization and differential diagnosis of cystic hygroma postnatally. In radiology department CT and MRI is done for the differentiation of cystic hygroma from other cystic lesions but due to the hazardous effects of these modalities it is important to give preference to ultr a s ound i n t h e di a g n o s i s o f c y s ti c lymphangioma. Some international studies are available on the cystic hygroma of the axillary region in infants but no local studies are published on the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of cystic  hygroma in infants.

Intracardiac Defect

We report the prenatal diagnosis of Cantrell syndrome in the first trimester. During a routine transabdominal ultrasonographic examination, a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect including herniated liver and ectopia cordis with a large omphalocele containing the intestines and cystic hygroma was incidentally identified at the 12th week of gestation. A transvaginal sonography examination revealed a severe lumbosacral scoliosis in addition to the inability to visualize the abdominal aorta which was indicative of a severe intracardiac defect. The parents opted for pregnancy to be terminated. In this case report, we discuss the complementary role of transvaginal sonography and Doppler imaging in the diagnosis of Cantrell syndrome in early pregnancy.

Group Members

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.
