Delayed Burr Hole Evacuation Compared With Acute Craniotomy for Acute Subdural Hematoma in Older Patients With Low-Energy Trauma.

Background Acute subdural hematomas commonly require emergent surgical decompression by craniotomy. There is currently limited research on alternative surgical strategies in the elderly population. This study investigates delayed surgical intervention for stable patients with low-energy trauma presenting with acute subdural hematomas.

Simple and Efficient? Evaluation of Transitions for Task-Driven Cross-Reality Experiences.

The inquiry into the impact of diverse transitions between cross-reality environments on user experience remains a compelling research endeavor. Existing work often offers fragmented perspectives on various techniques or confines itself to a singular segment of the reality-virtuality spectrum, be it virtual reality or augmented reality. This study embarks on bridging this knowledge gap by systematically assessing the effects of six prevalent transitions while users remain immersed in tasks spanning both virtual and physical domains.

Glioma-induced peritumoral hyperexcitability in a pediatric glioma model.

Epileptic seizures are among the most common presenting symptom in patients with glioma. The etiology of glioma-related seizures is complex and not completely understood. Studies using adult glioma patient tissue and adult glioma mouse models, show that neurons adjacent to the tumor mass, peritumoral neurons, are hyperexcitable and contribute to seizures.

Contribution of orosensory stimulation to strain differences in oil intake by mice.

Little is known about why animals differ in daily intake of oils. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the oral acceptability of oil is a key determinant of daily intake. To this end, we examined short- and long-term ingestive responses of eight mouse strains (FVB/NJ, SWR/J, SM/J, C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, 129P3/J, DBA/2J and AKR/J) to Intralipid, a stable emulsion of soybean oil.

The effects, costs and benefits of Salmonella control in the Danish table-egg sector.

A public plan for eradicating Salmonella in Danish table-egg production was implemented in 1996. During 2002, the poultry industry took over the responsibility of the programme. The proportion of infected layer flocks was reduced from 13.
