Adaptive behavior and psychological well-being of African Americans can be affected by prejudice and discrimination. Encountering repeated racial slights can create "psychological invisibility." The invisibility syndrome is presented as a conceptual model for understanding the inner evaluative processes and adaptive behavior of African Americans in managing experiences of racism.

The multiple cognitive, somatic, and behavioral changes following head injuries can result in expressive language difficulties that may not be resolved quickly. This paper explores the traumatic brain injury and post-concussive syndrome artwork created by an art therapist and the child of an art therapist, making the invisible neurological consequences of head injuries visible. Our first-person and caregiver perspectives offer examples of visual arts-based communication between patients, health professionals, and family members.

Article Synopsis
- Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS) is when one fetus in a multiple pregnancy disappears, often discovered through ultrasounds, but its genetic causes are not well understood.
- A case study of a 39-year-old woman who conceived twins via IVF showed that one twin's heartbeat stopped at 11 weeks, confirming VTS while the other developed normally.
- Genetic testing revealed that both fetuses were identical twins with a normal genetic make-up, but the vanished twin exhibited a unique genetic pattern, demonstrating the potential for genetic investigation in cases of VTS.
Cranial venous outflow insufficiency; rendered almost invisible to radiological imaging by circular reasoning. Rethinking normal craniocervical venous anatomy.

Article Synopsis
- * Critics argue that symptoms are mainly non-organic and the observed anatomical variations are just normal anatomical features, but this view overlooks that understanding venous anatomy often comes from studying symptomatic patients rather than healthy ones.
- * In a study of 100 patients with normal MRI scans, 26% reported headaches and 25% had neurological symptoms, highlighting that a significant portion of patients experienced symptoms despite having normal imaging results.
Clinical parameters and postoperative outcomes of pituitary adenomas in children: Analysis according to size of adenomas and adopted surgical procedures.

Department of Pediatrics, Yichang Central People's Hospital, Yichang, Hubei 443003, P.R. China.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric pituitary adenomas are rare and difficult to diagnose, often leading to significant health issues in children due to mass effects and neurological disturbances.
- A study involving 135 children (ages around 12) with pituitary adenomas at Yichang Central People's Hospital classified the adenomas by size and type, noting that most were microadenomas and more than half were functional.
- Post-surgery complications, such as diabetes insipidus and adrenal insufficiency, were common, and the research also looked at how different surgical approaches affected remission rates and overall outcomes.
