The Concise Language Paradigm (CLaP), a framework for studying the intersection of comprehension and production: electrophysiological properties.

Studies investigating language commonly isolate one modality or process, focusing on comprehension or production. Here, we present a framework for a paradigm that combines both: the Concise Language Paradigm (CLaP), tapping into comprehension and production within one trial. The trial structure is identical across conditions, presenting a sentence followed by a picture to be named.

A flexible class of generalized joint frailty models for the analysis of survival endpoints.

This article focuses on shared frailty models for correlated failure times, as well as joint frailty models for the simultaneous analysis of recurrent events (eg, appearance of new cancerous lesions or hospital readmissions) and a major terminal event (typically, death). As extensions of the Cox model, these joint models usually assume a frailty proportional hazards model for each of the recurrent and terminal event processes. In order to extend these models beyond the proportional hazards assumption, our proposal is to replace these proportional hazards models with generalized survival models, for which the survival function is modeled as a linear predictor through a link function.

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Patients Treated With Milrinone for Cerebral Vasospasm: Case Report and Literature Review.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and cerebral arterial vasospasm is one of its main complications that determines neurological prognosis. The use of intravenous milrinone is becoming more common in the treatment of vasospasm. This molecule has positive inotropic and vasodilating properties by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-3.

Sensitivity of Capillary Electrophoresis to Detect Monoclonal Immunoglobulins: a Report of Two Cases and a Systematic Review.

Background: The detection of monoclonal immunoglobulins (MIg) is a key element in the diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies.

Methods: Here we report two cases of high concentration serum IgM-kappa MIgs (6.4 g/L and 6.
