Article Synopsis
- Kryptolebias marmoratus (Kmar) is a unique fish species known for its diverse and flexible phenotypes, making it a valuable model for studying sexual development and genetics.
- Research on Kmar has shown that frequent egg collection and protease treatment can significantly increase embryo yield and hatching success, which is crucial for experimental work.
- New mutant lines, particularly the kissylips mutant, enhance reproduction rates and enable targeted genetic modifications using CRISPR/Cas9, paving the way for future studies in developmental genetics.

October 2011
Posterior fossa syndrome (PFS), or cerebellar affective syndrome, is a severe and distressing complication that may occur in up to 40% of children following posterior fossa brain tumour resection. Depending on the type, size and location of the tumour, clinical presentations of PFS can vary widely. Patients may exhibit mutism, emotional lability, high-pitched crying (sole form of vocalization), poor oral intake, extreme irritability, decreased motor movements and urinary retention.

Case: A 36-year-old primigravida with known Fabry disease manifest with acroparesthesias, tinnitus, and hearing loss delivered a healthy unaffected infant at term.
Conclusion: A symptomatic Fabry carrier may experience an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy in the absence of vital organ involvement.
