Phonology facilitates deeply opaque logographic writing.

Phonological knowledge plays a pivotal role in many aspects of language processing, but it remains controversial whether it is required for writing. In the present study, we examined the issue by focusing on written production in an opaque logographic script (kanji) with highly irregular pronunciation rules, which allowed for a rigorous test of whether or not phonology contributes to writing. Using a phonological priming paradigm in two experiments, we measured response latency while participants orally named target pictures or wrote down their names in kanji.

Meningitis retention syndrome associated with complicated mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion in a young adult patient: a case report.

Meningitis retention syndrome (MRS), comprising aseptic meningitis and urinary retention, is a self-limiting disease that resolves within a few weeks. Refractory urinary retention and encephalitic syndromes are rare. A 32-year-old man presented with acute fever and headache followed by acute urinary retention (UT).

T2*-Weighted MRI Detected Dilated Cerebral Veins in a Patient with Acute-Phase Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis-A Case Report.

We describe a 45-year-old man who presented with nausea, vomiting, and strong occipital headache on the right side. Although no abnormalities on neurological examination or computed tomography imaging were found on admission, peripheral blood cell counts showed polycythemia (hemoglobin 20.6 g/dL) and electrocardiography demonstrated atrial fibrillation.

[Repeated Cerebellar Hemorrhage Related to Rivaroxaban and Apixaban: A Case Report].

We report a case of repeated cerebral hemorrhage associated with administration of rivaroxaban and apixaban. A 74-year-old man had undergone catheter ablation for non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in 2 years prior. Warfarin treatment was continued after successful catheter ablation, and was then changed to rivaroxaban in 1 year prior.
