[Preventative repair of postoperative ventral hernia considering the markers of connective tissue dysplasia].

Objective: To define the indication for preventive mesh implantation in patients scheduled for laparotomy.

Material And Methods: There were 108 patients divided into the control (52 patients without anterior abdominal wall hernia) and the main (56 patients with ventral hernia) groups.

Results: Predominance of collagen type III over type I was observed in patients older 60 years in the main group.

Automatic processing of unattended lexical information in visual oddball presentation: neurophysiological evidence.

Previous electrophysiological studies of automatic language processing revealed early (100-200 ms) reflections of access to lexical characteristics of speech signal using the so-called mismatch negativity (MMN), a negative ERP deflection elicited by infrequent irregularities in unattended repetitive auditory stimulation. In those studies, lexical processing of spoken stimuli became manifest as an enhanced ERP in response to unattended real words, as opposed to phonologically matched but meaningless pseudoword stimuli. This lexical ERP enhancement was explained by automatic activation of word memory traces realized as distributed strongly intra-connected neuronal circuits, whose robustness guarantees memory trace activation even in the absence of attention on spoken input.
