In an era marked by an abundance of news sources, access to information significantly influences public opinion. Notably, the bias of news sources often serves as an indicator of individuals' political leanings. This study explores this hypothesis by examining the news sharing behavior of politically active social media users, whose political ideologies were identified in a previous study.

Previous research directly comparing these designs has been limited to Chinese participants and 1-year follow-up. The prevalence of myopia in European child/adolescent has been estimated at 22.

- Endolymphatic hydrops, an increase in fluid within the cochlea, is a key feature of Meniere's disease, which causes symptoms like vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, and tinnitus.
- The study explored the relationship between endolymphatic hydrops and cochlear synaptopathy (a type of hearing loss) using imaging techniques on transgenic mice subjected to blast noise and osmotic changes.
- Findings indicated that while both conditions can occur after noise exposure, endolymphatic hydrops does not cause cochlear synaptopathy; instead, they are independent effects resulting from damage to hair cell structures.
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease, and several scores aim to assess its prognosis. Our study aims to automatically recognize mild AP from computed tomography (CT) images in patients with acute abdominal pain but uncertain diagnosis from clinical and serological data through Radiomic model based on formal methods (FMs).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the CT scans acquired with Dual Source 256-slice CT scanner (Somatom Definition Flash; Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) of 80 patients admitted to the radiology unit of Antonio Cardarelli hospital (Naples) with acute abdominal pain.
Relation between binocular vision alteration and prehension movements in children: a scoping review.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the relationship between changes in binocular vision and fine motor skills in children.
- A systematic review of 16 research papers revealed that strabismus (a condition where the eyes do not properly align) has a significant impact on fine motor abilities, with various testing methods used across the studies.
- The conclusion underscores the importance of good vision for children's development, highlighting that vision problems can hinder fine motor skills, particularly in cases like amblyopia and strabismus.
