Italy
24 solved cases

I was born in a lovely city in Albania (Elbasan) and I live and work in Rome since 1997. I perform ultrasound in public and private outpatient services. I love ob-gyn ultrasound and my job is my main passion. I also love to go around the city and shop with my little-big daughter that I hope will become a doctor like me. I would like to teach her all the things I have learned and I learn every day on my favorite website TheFetus.net.
Albana is a big website supporter, she keeps sending us many great and very interesting cases. Thank you!

I honestly have no new information about me - either that I am happy to be a mum and a "mum-in-law". And as my boy-friend always says, I am TheFetus.net Junkie. I am very thankful to Philippe for creating this challenging site and I hope that we have many more interesting cases ahead of us.
Christa is a wonderful person and always the first one to answer the cases. She missed the only case this year and solved 24 cases!!!

Philippe Deblieck
Germany
24 solved cases

When I was 52, it was a very good year.... I am the oldest of 33 Cousins. And each of them has in average two or three children.(Re-)-count now ;-).Our oldest son (born in Africa in the time, where I worked in Burundi as a tropical doctor) has completed his education in Bioinformatics, our daughter studies Psychology and the last one, the 14- year-old David has reached puberty and we have to stay cool. He is a good cellist and plays Mendelssohn ,” a song without words”, on next Saturday. Count down before a white Christmas with Glühwein (hot wine punch ) and cookies… we can’t wait!!!
Philippe is a very interesting person, he travels all the time and we are always looking forward to his answers and very cute emails. He got 24 cases correct!!

Emmanuel Julien
France
24 solved cases
|
It was a real pleasure and sometimes a real headache to search some very tricky COWs after solving 22 cows in 2009 I hoped to do better. So it is a good year for me because I did better. I am a little disappointed to miss the first one which was not a very difficult case, perhaps I wasn't awake at the beginning of this year.
Emmanuel has a wife and two sons. He likes to ride his bike and paint.
He solved 24 cases which is more than last year. Great job!

Elena Andreeva,
Russia
23 solved cases

I am so glad to be among the winners of my favorite site again. For the past year I have been living and working in Moscow. It is very beautiful and diverse city. I am very lucky to live there. I have my little happiness, my daughter Arina. I love my job, I love to work for my boss who is a beautiful and intelligent woman. My friend from Belarus, a great specialist Odegova Natalia, came to help me. She is also a great friend of TheFetus. Every day we have around 5 to 8 pregnant women with fetal anomalies. Among them there are many of interesting genetic syndromes and pathologies of the first trimester. All of this is extremely interesting for me. And paradoxically, the more I know, the more I want to learn.
Elena send us very interesting cases and COWs again this year and we would like to thank her for all the website support. She solved 23 cases which is a great result!!!

My sons have grown up a lot since the last year, especially the older one, who will soon reach up to my shoulders. They are my best friends and devoted fans of the hunt for the correct COW answers on TheFetus.net. They are happy for me in case I get the answer correct and support me if I fail the case.
Thank you for this enthralling and endless studies, which allow us to improve our professional knowledge. I hope to participate successfully in the future as well.
Alexandra always writes a very nice answer with the detailed description of all the findings and possible differential diagnosis. We learn from her answers ourselves:)
