Inflammatory Markers and Measures of Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and inflammation predict more severe outcomes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the link between CAN and inflammation in T1D remains unclear. We examined associations between CAN measures and inflammatory biomarkers in individuals with T1D.

A Working Memory Model of Sentence Processing as Binding Morphemes to Syntactic Positions.

As they process complex linguistic input, language comprehenders must maintain a mapping between lexical items (e.g., morphemes) and their syntactic position in the sentence.

Intraoperative Cholangiogram Facilitates Single-Session Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Intraoperative Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: Case Reports and Review of the Literature.

Choledocholithiasis is reported in up to 20% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. It is recommended to remove common bile duct gallstones due to the risk of complications. A common approach to the management of choledocholithiasis is to combine laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which is typically completed during two separate sessions.

A qualitative exploration of the assessment process to cochlear implantation for children with hearing loss.

Objective: To explore the process of paediatric cochlear implant assessment, from referral to implantation, from the perspective of parents, cochlear implant professionals, and through observations of clinics.

Design: Qualitative approach, using grounded theory methodology.

Study Sample: Twelve families with children under 5 years with permanent hearing loss referred for a cochlear implant or received an implant in the past year, and six professionals who refer or assess children for cochlear implants.
