A second family with the condition first described by Frías et al. in 1975 is presented. Those authors examined a mother and her son affected with short stature, facial anomalies (epicanthic folds, downward palpebral fissures, hyperthelorism, and eyelid ptosis), cup-shaped and posteriorly rotated ears, hand and foot defects, and delayed bone age. In the family we are presenting here, a girl, her mother, the mother's brother, and the propositus' maternal grandmother, were affected. This supports autosomal dominant inheritance, as proposed by (Frías et al. [1975] BDOAS 11:30-33), although with variable expressivity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely applied to the automated detection of pipeline leaks. However, traditional AI methods still face significant challenges in effectively detecting the complete leak process. Furthermore, the deployment cost of such models has increased substantially due to the use of GPU-trained neural networks in recent years.

In recent decades, Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) have become crucial to the clean energy transition, yet they face significant safety challenges due to harsh marine conditions. Key issues include blade damage, material corrosion, and structural degradation, necessitating advanced materials and real-time monitoring systems for enhanced reliability. Carbon fiber has emerged as a preferred material for turbine blades due to its strength-to-weight ratio, although its high cost remains a barrier.
