Temporal characteristics of facial ensemble in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: examination from arousal and attentional allocation.

Introduction: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show atypical recognition of facial emotions, which has been suggested to stem from arousal and attention allocation. Recent studies have focused on the ability to perceive an average expression from multiple spatially different expressions. This study investigated the effect of autistic traits on temporal ensemble, that is, the perception of the average expression from multiple changing expressions.

Safety and effectiveness of vocal fold injection laryngoplasty in infants less than one year of age.

Introduction: Injection laryngoplasty (IL) is commonly performed for unilateral vocal fold immobility (UVFI). However, the safety and efficacy in patients <1 year of age are not widely recognized. This study analyzes the safety and swallow outcomes in a cohort of patients <1 year who underwent IL.

Study of heart rate recovery and cardiovascular autonomic modulation in healthy participants after submaximal exercise.

Heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure variability (BPV), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) provide important information on cardiovascular autonomic control. However, little is known about the reorganization of HRV, BPV, and BRS after aerobic exercise. While there is a positive relationship between heart rate (HR) recovery rate and cardiorespiratory fitness, it is unclear whether there is a relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and reorganization of cardiovascular autonomic modulation during recovery.

Laparoscopic decision-making concerning the repair area for traumatic abdominal wall pseudohernia: A case report.

Laparoscopic decision-making may be useful for accurately determining the repair area when treating abdominal wall pseudohernia. A 31-year-old man was admitted with a pelvic ring fracture after a traffic accident and underwent orthopedic surgery. Five months after surgery, the patient developed a lower abdominal protrusion.
