Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) using whole-body MRI (WBMRI) to determine the occurrence of plexiform neurofibromas (pNFs), diffuse neurofibromas (dNFs), and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs).
- A total of 83 NF1 patients underwent 110 WBMRI screenings from 2015 to 2023, with findings categorized and confirmed by histopathology, revealing that 9.6% were diagnosed with MPNSTs.
- The results indicate that pNFs and dNFs do not significantly increase the risk of developing MPNSTs in NF1 patients, meaning they
Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) provide crucial auditory information. If FM is encoded as AM, it should be possible to give a unified account of AM and FM perception both in terms of response consistency and performance. These two aspects of behavior were estimated for normal-hearing participants using a constant-stimuli, forced-choice detection task repeated twice with the same stimuli (double pass).

Background: Although the role of nasalis muscle in the establishment of nasal deformity is well recognized; its abnormal anatomy and role in the correction of alar deformity in cleft lip patients have not been adequately studied. This work aimed to study the effect of nasalis muscle repair on the postoperative nasal symmetry.
Patients And Methods: A controlled prospective randomized study was conducted on 45 cases of unilateral complete pre-alveolar cleft.
Background: In three previous studies, we have shown that pregnant women were still being exposed to isotretinoin and that compliance with recommendations was incomplete. The relaxation of these recommendations (summary of product characteristics 2004), combined with the release of generic brands, encouraged us to carry out a fourth study.
Objective: To assess isotretinoin exposure during pregnancy following the application of less stringent recommendations and the marketing of generic isotretinoin brands.
