Abstract

We present the CT and MR features of a posttraumatic cutaneous meningioma of the face. We postulate that the patient9s trauma and associated skull fracture resulted in a trapping of extracranial meningeal tissue, which many years later gave rise to a secondary facial meningioma.

  • Research on interventions promoting healthy eating in adult women found that African Americans preferred a group approach over an individual approach.

    “Moreover, research on interventions promoting healthy eating in adult women [68, 69] found that African Americans preferred a group (versus individual) approach.”

    From LIBER8 design and methods: An integrative intervention for loss of control eating among African American and White adolescent girls (2013) · cites this paper as [69]

    The section “Overcoming Disparities with Communitybased Approaches” (page not provided) says some research suggests minority populations may respond better to interventions built on social support and community norms than to individual education and behavior change. It does not report that African American adult women preferred group-based healthy-eating interventions over individual ones; the citing sentence is more specific and more definite than the source.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
