Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Les fentes faciales sont des malformations rares résultant d'une absence totale ou partielle de fusion des bourgeons faciaux. La classification des fentes faciales a été mise au point par le pionnier de la chirurgie crânio-faciale, Paul TESSIER, en 1976, et prend l'orbite pour référence anatomique. Elle est cotée de 0 à 14 et concerne en général les tissus mous et massifs osseux. Les fentes son...

Oblique facial clefts are extremely rare congenital deformities. Partial duplication of maxilla is a rare isolated anomaly. The concurrent existence of maxillary duplication and Tessier clefts has been described previously, specially the Tessier 7 clefts. In presented case, partial duplication of maxilla has occurred associated with Tessier 3 and incomplete Tessier 6 cleft along with cleft pala...

Scyphomedusae undergo a predictable ontogenetic transition from a conserved, universal larval form to a diverse array of adult morphologies. This transition entails a change in bell morphology from a highly discontinuous ephyral form, with deep clefts separating eight discrete lappets, to a continuous solid umbrella-like adult form. We used a combination of kinematic, modeling, and flow visuali...

Et Tu, Torsten? This critique of my Economic Policy paper generates many emotions. It is certainly an honor for my research to be taken seriously by such an eminent scholar as my friend Torsten Persson. And while any publicity is good, a negative citation dominates a positive one. There is irony; I came up with the original idea in a hallway conversation with Harry Flam a few feet from Persson’...
