Language processing in breastfed infants at risk of thiamine deficiency benefits from maternal thiamine supplementation.

In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we investigated relationships between infants' exposure to thiamine and their language-processing ability. Three hundred thirty-five lactating Cambodian mothers of 161 female/174 male infants received either 0, 1.2, 2.

Collection of Multiple Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (CRAM-PROMs) in orthopaedic trauma: a randomized trial to assess the impact of quantity on quality.

Background: We rely on sound clinical research to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical interventions. We are nowadays experiencing an increased utilization of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in research, for which there is good evidence on validity and reliability. However, these measures are often validated in isolation and not in a real-life setting where they are used in conjunction with other questionnaires and measures.

Tenascin-C potentiates Wnt signaling in thyroid cancer.

Tenascin-C (TNC) is a secreted extracellular matrix protein that is highly expressed during embryonic development and re-expressed during wound healing, inflammation, and neoplasia. Studies in developmental models suggest that TNC may regulate the Wnt signaling pathway. Our lab has shown high levels of Wnt signaling and TNC expression in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), a highly lethal cancer with an abysmal ~3-5 month median survival.

Consideration of Antifungal Coverage in Treating Infections Related to Delayed Esophageal Perforation from Anterior Cervical Spine Hardware.

(1) Background/Objectives: Delayed esophageal perforation following anterior cervical (spine) discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is rare but can lead to serious infectious complications. The treatment usually involves hardware explanation and prolonged intravenous antibiotics; however, there are scarce reports about the microbiology of these infections and corresponding targeted therapy. (2) Methods: Patients diagnosed or treated for delayed esophageal perforation after anterior cervical fusion between 2000-2020 at a tertiary medical center were studied.

Semantic access to ambiguous word roots cannot be stopped by affixation-Not even in sentence contexts: Evidence from eye-tracking and the maze task.

How does the language comprehension system identify and interpret word constituents-or morphemes-during sentence reading? We investigated this question by employing words containing semantically ambiguous roots (e.g., , with meanings related to both "dog" and "tree") which are disambiguated when affixed by - (e.
