Case: An 8-year-old girl with NF1 and congenital tibial dysplasia with significant bilateral tibial bowing underwent McFarland procedures. Now age 22 with 14-year follow-up indicating sustained correction and healing of her bilateral limb deformities.
Conclusion: This case illustrates the McFarland procedure provided adequate corrective treatment of this deformity and remains a success at long-term follow-up.
Background: The Amyloid-Tau-Neurodegeneration (ATN) biomarker framework for Alzheimer's disease (AD) indicates binary (presence/absence) designations for each type of pathology, without regard for anatomical distribution. Neurodegeneration is designated as positive if atrophy or hypometabolism are found on imaging. However, Clifford Jack et al.

Background: Normative models (NM) of brain metrics based on large, diverse populations offer novel strategies to detect individual brain abnormalities. To create an age-dependent statistical model of brain microstructure over the human lifespan, we built the largest multi-site NM of white matter (WM) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics based on 54,591 subjects. We used state-of-the-art tools to adjust for site-dependent effects.

Introduction: Lymphedema, a debilitating characterized by localized fluid retention and tissue swelling, results from abnormalities in the lymphatic system. In the case of primary lymphedema, this condition is attributed to malformations in lymphatic vessels or nodes, and it is marked by a relentless progression leading to irreversible tissue fibrosis after repetitive inflammation. Many questions regarding its treatment, such as the choice of the type of intervention and the timing, still remain unanswered.
