Objective: To explore the effects of acupuncture in comparison with sham acupuncture on cognitive functions in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Introduction: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are a group of rare soft tissue sarcomas of mesenchymal origin. These tumors generally require extensive local excision owing to their aggressive potential. Though the role of radiotherapy is controversial, in this report, we present the case of an MPNST in the forearm that was treated with microsurgery followed by image-guided radiation therapy to achieve complete tumor disappearance at the 18-month follow-up.
