Article Synopsis
- PKU is caused by a lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase, affecting the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine, and the study involved 74 patients averaging 21.7 years old, assessing their menstrual cycles and PMS symptoms.
- 82.4% of the participants had regular cycles, with 39.1% experiencing PMS symptoms, and issues like menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea were noted in a small percentage.
- However, the study found no significant link between the severity of PMS symptoms and blood phenylalanine levels, suggesting that better awareness and management of PMS could enhance the quality of life for women with PKU.

Objective: This study evaluates various craniospinal irradiation (CSI) techniques used in Turkish centers to understand their advantages, disadvantages and overall effectiveness, with a focus on enhancing dose distribution.
Methods: Anonymized CT scans of adult and pediatric patients, alongside target volumes and organ-at-risk (OAR) structures, were shared with 25 local radiotherapy centers. They were tasked to develop optimal treatment plans delivering 36 Gy in 20 fractions with 95% PTV coverage, while minimizing OAR exposure.
