“…For example, Wadsby et al (1989) reported that children with NF were more likely than their siblings to have difficulties with sleeping, disruptive behaviors, and distractibility. Although not conclusive, there are data to suggest a high incidence of ADHD in children with NF (cf., Moore et al, 1996;North et al, 1997b) and participants in our interviews frequently reported either a formal diagnosis of ADHD or symptoms consistent with this diagnosis.…”

PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR FORM TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS. Panama began its modern history as a semi-colonial appendage of the United States (US). Since gaining independence in 1903, Panama witnessed both elitist quasi-democratic governments and authoritarian populist governments. The oligarchic system in place throughout much of Panama's history was a significant hindrance to real democracy taking hold within the country. Democracy was further set back by the inordinate power exerted by US presence on the isthmus throughout the twentieth century. Many Panamanian leaders would practice duplicity over US and Panamanian relations that benefited their interests when necessary but would also denounce them in the same breath when it fit their local political interests. Through time, many Panamanians felt it created an imperial relationship that the people of Panama saw as overbearing and obtrusive. Today, Iraqis have the same concern as they feel that US intervention was due to imperialistic ambitions over oil. REPORT DATE (DD-MM-YYYY)In the summer and fall of 1989, while the United States had their eyes fixated on the events in Eastern Europe that ended the Cold War, a different kind of storm was brewing in Panama. Noriega's conflict with the US escalated from one crisis to another, gaining him some victories that strengthened his position inside Panama and motivated him to challenge the US even further. Operation Just Cause served as a harbinger of the changes to future conflicts that dawned from the post-Cold War era. The change that came about is the criticality of gaining understanding and knowledge of a region through the study of local interpretations regarding history, politics, and social issues. Initial research shows that very little literature available to American service members presents an adequate Panamanian narrative of the events surrounding Operation Just Cause. In this case, the insights of the crisis from General Noriega's vantage point. General Noriega's perspectives provide information for critical analysis of the motivations and interests behind the actions of foreign leaders. With this insight, one can properly frame the problem and achieve some predict...

“…Tariflenen bu lezyonların genel görüşte hamartom olduğu kabul edilmektedir ve çoğu puberte dönemine kadar kaybolur (11). NF1 hastalarda görülen öğrenme güçlüğü, dikkat eksikliği ve hiperaktivite, bilişsel bozukluk gibi bulguların hamartomatöz lezyonlar ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir (12)(13)(14).…”

Nörofibromatozis tip 1, multisistem tutulumu, benign ve malign tümörlerde normal popülasyona göre artmış görülme sıklığı ile karakterize en sık görülen nörokutanöz sendromdur. Çocuklarda kanser sıklığını artırması nedeniyle teşhisi ve takibi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı nörofibromatozis tip I tanısı ile takip edilen çocuk hastalarda beyin MRG bulgularını, beynin neoplastik ve neoplastik olmayan lezyonlarını, tanı kriterlerini ve tanı anındaki bulgularını incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Temmuz 2010 ile Mart 2019 tarihleri arasında nörofibromatozis tip 1 tanısı almış ve en az 1 defa kontrastlı beyin MRG yapılmış toplam 183 hasta değerlendirildi. On iki hasta kardeşti. Çalışmamızda ortalama yaşı 10 (1-18 yaş) olan 82 kız ve 101 erkek, toplam 183, çocuk hasta 9 yıl deneyimli bir radyolog tarafından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 183 hastadan; 37 hastada beyinde hamartomatöz lezyon yoktu, 24'ünde optik gliom veya optik sinir kalınlaşması (9 bilateral, 10 sağ, 5 sol taraf), 8'inde pleksiform nörofibrom (baş veya boyun yerleşimli), 9'unda subkutan nörofibrom vardı. Ek olarak 9 hastada intrakranial araknoid kist, 6 hastada düşük dereceli glial tümör, 1 hastada medulloblastom, 1 hastada glioblastom, 1 hastada nodüler heterotopi saptandı. İki hastada düşük dereceli glial tümör şüphesi vardı ve izlemlerinde boyutları ve görünümleri stabildi. Hamartomatöz lezyonların en sık yerleşim yeri globus pallidus, dentat nükleus, mezensefalon, talamus ve pons idi, en az yerleşim yeri ise putamendi. Ayrıca 3 hasta Noonan Sendromu ile takip ediliyordu. Bu hastaların ikisinde, hamartomatöz lezyonlara ek olarak intrakraniyal araknoid kistler gözlendi. Sonuç: Nörofibromatozis tip 1 hastalığı mortalite ve morbidite nedeni olan, malign ve benign tümörlerin görülme sıklığında artışa yol açan tümör yatkınlık sendromlarından biridir. Gliomlar en sık görülen intrakraniyal tümörlerdir ve nörofibromlardan sonra en sık görülen ikinci tümör tipidir. Tümörlerin erken tanı ve malignitenin tedavisi için düzenli takip önemlidir. Beyin MRG Nörofibromatozis tip 1 tanılı hastalarda beyin tutulumunun tanı ve takibinde yeterli ve gerekli görüntüleme yöntemidir.
