The SNARC effect: a preregistered study on the interaction of horizontal, vertical, and sagittal spatial-numerical associations.

Small numbers are processed faster through left-sided than right-sided responses, whereas large numbers are processed faster through right-sided than left-sided responses [i.e., the Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect].

Surgical treatment of traumatic thoracolumbar fractures: a retrospective review of 101 cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of vertebral stabilisation after acute traumatic thoracolumbar fractures, correlating the outcome with patient clinical data, type and location of fracture, presence of neurological damage, timing of surgical intervention and number of instrumented levels. The results have been evaluated also through the AO classification and AOSIS score.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 101 patients with traumatic thoracolumbar injuries from T3 to L5 operated 2011-2016 by posterior or antero-posterior fixation.

Correction to: Order versus chaos: The impact of structure on number-space associations.

In the Results section (pp.1785, left column), please replace the sentences "In particular, RTs for the large-unstructured condition were significantly faster than RTs on the small-unstructured condition.

Numbers around Descartes: A preregistered study on the three-dimensional SNARC effect.

The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect suggests that numbers are represented along a horizontal left-to-right oriented, mental number line, with small numbers on the left and large numbers on the right. Much less evidence exists for vertical (down-to-up) and sagittal (near-to-far) SNARC effects. This might be due to the employment of different experimental paradigms among studies and to the, sometimes, inexact definition of the vertical and sagittal axes.

Order versus chaos: The impact of structure on number-space associations.

The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect has been observed with different stimuli, beside Arabic numerals, such as written/spoken number words, sequences of acoustic stimuli, and groups of elements. Here we investigated how the enumeration of sets of elements can be affected by the spatial configuration of the displayed stimuli with regard to the emergence of the SNARC effect. To this aim, we asked participants to perform a magnitude comparison task with structured (i.

Surgical treatment of osteoporotic thoraco-lumbar compressive fractures: the use of pedicle screw with augmentation PMMA.

Introduction: The osteoporosis prevalence in population is age related. The aim of this single-center observational study was evaluate the middle- to long-term performance of cement (PMMA) augmented fenestrated pedicle screws in elderly patients with thoraco-lumbar compressive fractures by osteoporosis.

Materials And Methods: From 2011 to 2015 we treated 52 patients (20 males and 32 females) suffering from somatic osteoporotic fractures (T10-L2).
