Neurofibromatoses in Clinical Practice

By: Rosalie E Ferner,Susan Huson,D. Gareth R. Evans

Neurofibromatoses in Clinical Practice provides a succinct, accessible guide to the neurofibromatoses including diagnosis, management protocols and indications for referral to specialist centers. Neurocutaneous diseases are complex to diagnose and treat and many patients require specialist multidisciplinary management and surveillance. Due to multiple disease manifestations, patients can present to different clinicians without specialist expertise - general practitioners, pediatricians, neurologists, geneticists, surgeons and ophthalmologists. The clinically focused format will enable rapid consultation during clinics, facilitate disease pattern recognition, and indicate care pathways. The clinical quiz highlights common pitfalls in diagnosis and management and a glossary and reference section provide details for access to specialist NF clinics throughout the UK and internationally. Written by experts in the field Neurofibromatoses in Clinical Practice is a succinct and practical guide for consultants in training and practice, general practitioners and specialist nurses.

Peripheral Nerve Disorders

Chapter 53. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1): diagnosis and management

By: Rosalie E. Ferner,David H. Gutmann

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an inherited neurocutaneous disease that has a major impact on the nervous system, eye, skin, and bone. Individuals with NF1 have a predisposition to benign and malignant tumor formation and the hallmark lesion is the neurofibroma, a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The gene for NF1 was cloned on chromosome 17q11.2 and neurofibromin, the NF1 protein, controls cell growth and proliferation by regulating the proto-oncogene Ras and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Advances in molecular biology and mouse models of disease have enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis of NF1 complications and facilitated targeted therapy. Progress has been made in developing robust clinical and radiological outcome measures and clinical trials are underway for children with learning difficulties and for individuals with symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas.

Considering Marijuana Legalization

Insights for Vermont and Other Jurisdictions

By: Jonathan P. Caulkins,Beau Kilmer,Mark Kleiman,Robert J. MacCoun,Gregory Midgette,Pat Oglesby,Rosalie Liccardo Pacula,Peter H. Reuter

Marijuana legalization is a controversial and multifaceted issue that is now the subject of serious debate. In May 2014, Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin signed a bill requiring the Secretary of Administration to produce a report about various consequences of legalizing marijuana. This resulting report provides a foundation for thinking about the various consequences of different policy options while being explicit about the uncertainties involved.
