This is a rare congenital disease. Adams Oliver syndrome first came to light back in 1945 and fortunately it is a somewhat rare condition. Individuals suffering from this condition will have several visible signs for example there could be things wrong with their fingers and toes or the arms and legs may not be normal. These physical signs will vary quite a bit amongst individual people.
Some will only have a mild case while others will be quite severe. In newborn infants with this condition, the scalp defects are noticeable right at birth. If the condition is really bad one might see that the bones are defected in the skull plus individuals with this disease will quite often have malformation of their hands, arms, feet and legs. These could be abnormalities such as short fingers and toes that are really noticeable or not having any hands or lower legs at all.
Along with theses, afflictions there are several other abnormalities that can be present with Adams Oliver syndrome. When it comes to treatment for this disease most of the emphasis is put on the specific symptoms that each individual person is suffering from.
It would seem that there is a high bit possibility of having congenital heart disease for those that are suffering from this condition. It is also been noticed that there is a lot of variation in the severity of the symptoms between families that are suffering or have family members suffering with it.
The major common occurrence as far as symptoms go is the variation in abnormalities and most often doesn't occur the same on both sides. It's the lower part of the legs that are affected as opposed to the upper. The symptoms could be very minor such as missing a toenail or can be very severe such as missing a whole limb. Other similar symptoms for Adams Oliver syndrome are webbing of the skin of the fingers and toes for example.
There have been many side effects noted to this condition such as vascular problems then there have been some reports of individual suffering from this syndrome are quite short in stature and in some extremely rare cases mental retardation has been reported as one of the side effects.
As was previously mentioned the treatment for this devastating affliction lies with treating the abnormalities that the condition causes. The purpose is to increase the quality of life by making every effort to lessen the effects of Adams Oliver syndrome and the restrictions it causes.

Abigail Adams $93.99 Abigail Adams (ne Smith) (November 11, 1744 October 28, 1818) was the wife of John Adams, who was the second President of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth. She was the first Second Lady of the United States. Adams is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John Adams frequently sought the advice of his wife on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. The letters are invaluable eyewitness accounts of the Revolutionary War home front as well as excellent sources of political commentary.

First Family: Abigail and John Adams $15.39 The Pulitzer Prize-winning, best-selling author of @lt;i@gt;Founding Brothers@lt;/i@gt; and @lt;i@gt;His Excellency @lt;/i@gt;brings America's preeminent first couple to life in a moving and illuminating narrative that sweeps through the American Revolution and the republic's tenuous early years.@lt;br@gt;John and Abigail Adams left an indelible and remarkably preserved portrait of their lives together in their personal correspondence: both Adamses were prolific letter writers (although John conceded that Abigail was clearly the more gifted of the two), and over the years they exchanged more than twelve hundred letters. Joseph J. Ellis distills this unprecedented and unsurpassed record to give us an account both intimate and panoramic; part biography, part political history, and part love story.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;Ellis describes the first meeting between the two as inauspicious--John was twenty-four, Abigail just fifteen, and each was entirely unimpressed with the other. But they soon began a passionate correspondence that resulted in their marriage five years later.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;Over the next decades, the couple were separated nearly as much as they were together. John's political career took him first to Philadelphia, where he became the boldest advocate for the measures that would lead to the Declaration of Independence. Yet in order to attend the Second Continental Congress, he left his wife and children in the middle of the war zone that had by then engulfed Massachusetts. Later he was sent to Paris, where he served as a minister to the court of France alongside Benjamin Franklin. These years apart stressed the Adamses' union almost beyond what it could bear: Abigail grew lonely, while the Adams children suffered from their father's absence.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;John was elected the nation's first vice president, but by the time of his reelection, Abigail's health prevented her from joining him in Philadelphia, the interim capital. She no doubt had further reservations about moving to the swamp on the Potomac when John became president, although this time he persuaded her. President Adams inherited a weak and bitterly divided country from George Washington. The political situation was perilous at best, and he needed his closest advisor by his side: "I can do nothing," John told Abigail after his election, "without you."@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;In Ellis's rich and striking new history, John and Abigail's relationship unfolds in the context of America's birth as a nation.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;i@gt;From the Hardcover edition.@lt;/i@gt; |

First Family: Abigail & John Adams $31.41 The prizewinning, best-selling author of "Founding Brothers "and "His Excellency "brings America's preeminent first couple to life in a moving and illuminating narrative that sweeps through the American Revolution and the Republic's tenuous early years. Joseph J. Ellis gives us a story both intimate and panoramic: equal parts biography, political history, and love story. In a fifty-plus-year political and personal partnership, John and Abigail strategized over civic and foreign affairs as often as they discussed their children and Abigail's loneliness during John's extended absences required by his work. Their remarkable connection is epitomized in words he wrote to her after his election to the presidency: "I can do nothing without you." The Adams marriage--in all its complexity, richness, triumph, and sorrow--is revealed as never before in this masterly and essential work of history. "From the Hardcover edition." |

John Adams $40 "In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds the adventurous life-journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot -- "the colossus of independence," as Thomas Jefferson called him -- who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who rose to become the second President of the United States and saved the country from blundering into an unnecessary war; who was learned beyond all but a few and regarded by some as "out of his senses"; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history.>Like his masterly, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography "Truman, " David McCullough's "John Adams" has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. It is both a riveting portrait of an abundantly human man and a vivid evocation of his time, much of it drawn from an outstanding collection of Adams family letters and diaries. In particular, the more than one thousand surviving letters between John and Abigail Adams, nearly half of which have never been published, provide extraordinary access to their private lives and make it possible to know John Adams as no other major American of his founding era.>As he has with stunning effect in his previous books, McCullough tells the story from within -- from the point of view of the amazing eighteenth century and of those who, caught up in events, had no sure way of knowing how things would turn out. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, the British spy Edward Bancroft, Madame Lafayette and Jefferson's Paris "interest" Maria Cosway, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, the scandalmonger James Callender, Sally Hemings, John Marshall, Talleyrand, and Aaron Burr all figure in this panoramic chronicle, as does, importantly, John Quincy Adams, the adored son whom Adams would live to see become President.>Crucial to the story, as it was to history, is the relationship between Adams and Jefferson, born opposites -- one a Massachusetts farmer's son, the other a Virginia aristocrat and slaveholder, one short and stout, the other tall and spare. Adams embraced conflict; Jefferson avoided it. Adams had great humor; Jefferson, very little. But they were alike in their devotion to their country.>At first they were ardent co-revolutionaries, then fellow diplomats and close friends. With the advent of the two political parties, they became archrivals, even enemies, in the intense struggle for the presidency in 1800, perhaps the most vicious election in history. Then, amazingly, they became friends again, and ultimately, incredibly, they died on the same day -- their day of days -- July 4, in the year 1826.>Much about John Adams's life will come as a surprise to many readers. His courageous voyage on the frigate "Boston" in the winter of 1778 and his later trek over the Pyrenees are exploits that few would have dared and that few readers will ever forget.>It is a life encompassing a huge arc -- Adams |

West Adams $21.55 By the turn of the 20th century, West Adams had become one of the first bedroom communities in fast-growing Los Angeles. Mansions and bungalows housed bankers and merchants who commuted to their businesses downtown, as well as moviemakers, debutantes, the social elite, and one or two scoundrels. Anchored by Adams Boulevard, this area just west of downtown has been through many changes. Today the neighborhood is one of the most racially and architecturally diverse in the country and contains the highest concentration of historic cultural monuments in Los Angeles. Residents and local archives, including the University of Southern California and the Automobile Club of Southern California, have contributed images to this volume illustrating life and architecture from Victorian times onward. |

Henry Adams $3.95 Henry Adams sought, late in life, to thwart prospective biographers by writing his own biography. Published soon after his death in 1918, The "Education of Henry Adams" was rightly greeted as a masterpiece. Not until thirty years later, with the appearance of the first volume of Ernest Samuels's biography, did it become apparent how much the story had been colored by Adams's singular philosophy of history and how great was the disparity between the protagonist of the Education and Adams as he actually was. Upon its completion in 1964, Samuels's life of Henry Adams was hailed as "one of the great biographical achievements of our time"; its laurels included a Pulitzer Prize. Ernest Samuels has now distilled his ample narrative into a single absorbing volume. We see Adams as a lively undergraduate, in contrast to the jaded young man of the Education; as budding writer, newspaper correspondent, eager participant in political maneuverings in Washington and at the American embassy in London; as teacher at Harvard and editor of the North American Review; settled in Washington, as scholar, biographer, historian, novelist; as insatiable traveler; as friend and adviser to statesmen; as elderly cosmopolite spending half of each year abroad; and always as witty chronicler of the social scene and trenchant commentator on the events of his time. We are drawn into the personal drama of Adams's middle years: his married life with Clover; the halcyon period in Washington in the early 1880s, catastrophically terminated by Clover's depression and suicide; his growing passion for Elizabeth Cameron; and his flight to the South Seas. Throughout the book we follow the genesis and progress of his writings, from his muckracking journalism in President Grant's Washington, through the social and political criticism of his novels, his biographies, and his great "History," to the classic "Mont Saint Michel and Chartres," the daring theories of the "Education," and his last essays. Few biographies have so broad a canvas--sixty years of American political, social, and intellectual life, from the pre-Civil War years to the First World War. And few offer so revealing a portrait of a complex human being and an extraordinary career. |
