Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Linear risk tolerance and mean-variance preferences [PDF]
We translate the property of linear risk tolerance (hyperbolical Arrow-Pratt index of risk aversion) from the expected-utility framework into a condition on the marginal rate of substitution between return and risk in the mean-variance approach.
