Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic multisystem disorder characterised by distinctive facial features, developmental delay, learning difficulties, short stature, congenital heart disease, renal anomalies, bleeding difficulties and lymphatic malformations. Although lymphatic dysplasias are present in 20% of patients with NS, however pulmonary lymphangiectasia has rarely been described. In this present paper, we report a 24-year-old male who was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome and primary pulmonary lymphangiectasia by using chest imaging modalities. A brief overview of the current literature is also provided laying emphasis on the clinical, pathogenetic and diagnostic aspects of this uncommon Noonan syndrome complication.

The Feminine

Past research has shown that the gender typicality of applicants’ faces affects leadership selection irrespective of a candidate’s gender: A masculine facial appearance is congruent with masculine-typed leadership roles, thus masculine-looking applicants are hired more certainly than feminine-looking ones. In the present study, we extended this line of research by investigating hiring decisions for both masculine- and feminine-typed professional roles. Furthermore, we used eye tracking to examine the visual exploration of applicants’ portraits. Our results indicate that masculine-looking applicants were favored for the masculine-typed role (leader) and feminine-looking applicants for the feminine-typed role (team member). Eye movement patterns showed that information about gender category and facial appearance was integrated during first fixations of the portraits. Hiring decisions, however, were not based on this initial analysis, but occurred at a second stage, when the portrait was viewed in the context of considering the applicant for a specific job.
