Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the histological effects of a 2,940 nm fractional Er:YAG laser during abdominoplasty, focusing on microthermal zones (MTZs) using light and confocal microscopy.
  • Three subjects received treatments at varying laser depths and coagulation levels, with biopsies taken immediately and up to two weeks post-treatment to assess collagen changes.
  • Results showed consistent collagen remodeling in the dermis, but the expected relationships between laser settings and ablation depths were not observed, suggesting tissue hydration may affect outcomes.

Although attentional deficits are frequently displayed by schizophrenia and spectrum patients, the precise nature of the impairment is unclear. The present study investigates attentional performance in 26 schizophrenia-spectrum outpatients and 24 healthy controls using the Attentional Network Task (ANT). We assessed the efficiency of the segregated alerting, orienting, and executive control networks by measuring how response latencies were influenced by alerting cues, spatial cues, and flanking stimuli.
