Trend differences in cervical spinal cord injuries before and after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: To investigate the changes in the characteristics of cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI) before and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic among patients transported to our hospital in Japan.

Setting: Hospital with an emergency center in Chiba, Japan.

Ganglion Cysts in the Hallux: A Report of Two Cases.

We experienced two cases of intractable hallux ganglion. Case 1 was a 70-year-old woman with a recurrent ganglion and severe pain on the plantar aspect of the hallux. The continuity between the mass and the distal flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon sheath was confirmed.

Comparative efficacy of quetiapine by dose and formulation for psychosis in schizophrenia: A systematic review and dose-response model-based network meta-analysis.

Background: Quetiapine has varied dose ranges and immediate-(QTP-IR) and extended-release (QTP-ER) formulations.

Aims: We hypothesized that QTP-IR is inferior to QTP-ER at any dose in efficacy for the acute treatment in schizophrenia and tested using a dose-response model-based network meta-analysis (NMA).

Methods: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINHAL, and ClinicalTrials.

Auditory ERPs to stimulus deviance in an awake chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes): towards hominid cognitive neurosciences.

Background: For decades, the chimpanzee, phylogenetically closest to humans, has been analyzed intensively in comparative cognitive studies. Other than the accumulation of behavioral data, the neural basis for cognitive processing in the chimpanzee remains to be clarified. To increase our knowledge on the evolutionary and neural basis of human cognition, comparative neurophysiological studies exploring endogenous neural activities in the awake state are needed.
