Baker-Miller Pink	$The Bakwin-Eiger syndrome is named for Harry Bakwin who identified the syndrome in 1956. It consists of hereditary skeletal dysplasia affecting both sexes with characteristic cortical hyperplasia, macrocrania and hyperphosphatasis. Also elevated uric acid, and aminopeptidase, and urinary peptide-bound hydroxyproline and uric acid. The symptoms appear in late infancy and consist of growth deficiency, enlarging of head, hearing loss due to nerve compression, angioid streaks of the retina, optic atrophy, hypertension, blue sclerae, dental caries, fusiform swelling and bowing of the tubular bones and, occasionally, multiple fractures. Demineralisation and osteoporosis may be very severe in some cases and mild in others. Usually, normal intelligence. Autosomal recessively inheritable disturbance with considerable intrafamilial variability of expression.$ Bakwin Eiger Syndrome	Harry Bakwin	$Bakwin Krida Syndrome, also known as Metaphyseal dysplasia, or Pyle disease, is a disorder of the bones. It is a rare disease in which the outer part of the shafts of long bones is thinner than normal and there is an increased chance of fractures. Its hallmark feature is an abnormality of the long bones in the arms and legs in which the ends (metaphyses) of the bones are abnormally broad; the shape of the bones resembles a boat oar or paddle. The broad metaphyses are due to enlargement of the spongy inner layer of bone (trabecular bone). Although trabecular bone is expanded, the dense outermost layer of bone (cortical bone) is thinner than normal. As a result, the bones are fragile and fracture easily. The bone abnormalities in the legs commonly cause knock knees (genu valgum) in affected individuals. It was first identified by Harry Bakwin while he was a professor at New York University.$ Bakwin Krida Syndrome	Balbiani Bodies	Balbiani's Vesicles
