Evidence is steadily mounting that attribute-based models offer a more accurate description of intertemporal choices than traditional alternative-based models. Among the attribute-based models, the tradeoff model offers the broadest coverage of research findings, but at the cost of considerable complexity: There now are various instantiations of the model dealing with partially overlapping universes of choice options and preference patterns. Moreover, there are reports of preference patterns in intertemporal decisions about monetary losses that contradict all attribute-based models proposed so far.

The two centrosymmetric cationic complexes have been structurally characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shown to contain a CuX (X = Br or Cl) unit suspended between two Au(I) centers without the involvement of bridging ligands. These colorless crystals display green luminescence (λ = 527 nm) for () and teal luminescence (λ = 464 nm) for ().

Recent Findings: There have been tremendous advances in the care of STEMI patients over the past two decades with primary (PCI) being the standard of care. However, many hospitals do not have interventional cardiology services available, and either have to expeditiously transfer patients for primary PCI, or use the strategy of fibrinolysis therapy with facilitated or rescue PCI.

We document a memory-based mechanism associated with investor overconfidence. In Studies 1 and 2, investors were asked to recall their most important trades in the recent past and then reported investing confidence and trading frequency. After the study, they looked up and reported the actual returns of these trades.

However, there are limited data on the feasibility of chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization via the R-PCI approach.
Methods: Ten consecutive patients undergoing R-PCI for a coronary CTO at a single tertiary academic center were analyzed.

SVG aneurysms are relatively rare clinical entities most often encountered discovered as an incidental finding in patients with prior CABG surgery. There is a substantial risk of complications including rupture and death, thus surgical or percutaneous management may be considered in particular in symptomatic patients. Here, three cases are presented highlighting various percutaneous management options and considerations, including covered stent placement, coil occlusion, and a combined approach with the use of a peripheral covered stent.

Objectives: To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of robotic percutaneous coronary revascularization for use in complex coronary lesions.
Background: Robotically assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is safe and feasible in simple coronary lesions and has excellent short-term procedural and clinical outcomes for complex lesions; however, long-term safety and efficacy outcomes are unknown.
Methods: A total of 103 consecutive patients underwent a total of 108 robotic (R)-PCI procedures (age 68.
Luminescent gold(I) complexes ([Au(Triphos)Cl](PF)·2(CHCH), [Au(Triphos)Cl](AsF)·8(CHCH), and [Au(Triphos)Cl](SbF)·7(CHCH) where Triphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine) with a boxlike architecture have been prepared and crystallographically characterized. A chloride ion resides at the center of the box with two of the six gold(I) ions nearby. Mechanical grinding of blue luminescent crystals containing the cation, [Au(Triphos)Cl], results in their conversion into amorphous solids with green emission that contain the bridged helicate cation, [μ-Cl{Au(Triphos)}].

Purpose: The optical-coherence tomography guided Ocelot catheter has previously been shown to be a safe and effective tool for crossing peripheral chronic total occlusions. However, the existing literature focuses mostly on the superficial femoral artery, without prior evidence of use within the suprainguinal vasculature.
Case Series: We present the first known cases of the Ocelot catheter for revascularization of chronic total occlusions in the iliac vasculature.

The feasibility, safety, and high technical success of robotically assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of both simple and complex coronary disease has been demonstrated. As the current generation robotic platform is limited to a rapid exchange system, orbital or rotational atherectomy cannot be performed robotically. However, excimer laser coronary atherectomy is performed with a rapid exchange catheter but its feasibility during robotically assisted PCI is unknown.

The system is able to update firing based on internally derived information about self-motion, a process known as path integration. Of particular interest is how path integration might maintain concordance between true HD and internally represented HD.

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a prevalent cause of secondary hypertension. Elderly patients with atherosclerosis and young women with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) are particularly at risk. Blood pressure screening is often key to this diagnosis, although the reliability of clinical screening has been questioned, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) likely offers superior ability to diagnose poorly controlled hypertension.

The red-violet compound originally formulated as a cationic π-CS2 complex, [RuCl(π-CS2)(PPh3)3]Cl, has been identified as a neutral molecule, RuCl2(S2CPPh3)(PPh3)2, which contains the unstable zwitterion S2CPPh3. In the absence of RuCl2(PPh3)3, there is no sign of a reaction between triphenylphosphine and carbon disulfide, although more basic trialkylphosphines form red adducts, S2CPR3.

They are able to track head direction using only internally-derived information (path integration)In this simulation study we investigate the factors that affect path integration accuracy. Specifically, two major limiting factors are identified: rise time, the time after stimulation it takes for a neuron to start firing, and the presence of symmetric non-offset within-layer recurrent collateral connectivity.

UV-visible stopped-flow and rapid-freeze-quench electron paramagnetic resonance data, along with product analysis, showed that the equilibrium between hydroxylamine and nitrite is fairly rapidly established in the presence of high initial concentrations of hydroxylamine, despite said equilibrium lying far to the left. By contrast, reduction of hydroxylamine to ammonia did not occur, even though disproportionation of hydroxylamine to yield both nitrite and ammonia is strongly thermodynamically favored.

Head direction (HD) cell responses are thought to be derived from a combination of internal (or idiothetic) and external (or allothetic) sources of information. Recent work from the Jeffery laboratory shows that the relative influence of visual versus vestibular inputs upon the HD cell response depends on the disparity between these sources. In this paper, we present simulation results from a model designed to explain these observations.
