NonImmune hemolytic anemia secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency-A case report.

This case report emphasizes the crucial need to include vitamin B12 deficiency in the differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia, despite its rarity as a presentation. The case illustrates that non-immune hemolytic anemia can occur secondary to severe vitamin B12 deficiency, which can be effectively treated with vitamin B12 supplementation. Early recognition and comprehensive evaluation are essential for identifying this uncommon yet significant cause of hemolysis, ensuring prompt and appropriate treatment to improve patient outcomes.

Intention offloading: Domain-general versus task-specific confidence signals.

Intention offloading refers to the use of external reminders to help remember delayed intentions (e.g., setting an alert to help you remember when you need to take your medication).

Fetus papyraceous disguised as compound presentation: A case report.

Introduction: and importance: Fetus papyraceous (FP) is a rare condition that describes a mummified fetus in a multiple gestation pregnancy in which one fetus dies and becomes flattened between the membranes of the other fetus and uterine wall. Compound presentation occurs when the fetus's arm or leg is next to the main presenting part, very often the vertex is combined with arm presentation. A severe complication can occur in mother and child in such cases.

Outsourcing Memory to External Tools: A Review of 'Intention Offloading'.

How do we remember delayed intentions? Three decades of research into prospective memory have provided insight into the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in this form of memory. However, we depend on more than just our brains to remember intentions. We also use external props and tools such as calendars and diaries, strategically placed objects, and technologies such as smartphone alerts.

Excessive use of reminders: Metacognition and effort-minimisation in cognitive offloading.

People often use external reminders to help remember delayed intentions. This is a form of "cognitive offloading". Individuals sometimes offload more often than would be optimal (Gilbert et al.

Optimal use of reminders: Metacognition, effort, and cognitive offloading.

Individuals frequently choose between accomplishing goals using unaided cognitive abilities or offloading cognitive demands onto external tools and resources. For example, in order to remember an upcoming appointment one might rely on unaided memory or create a reminder by setting a smartphone alert. Setting a reminder incurs both a cost (the time/effort to set it up) and a benefit (increased likelihood of remembering).
