High-level visual functions such as reading and face recognition rely on global processes, which are often insensitive to high spatial frequencies. However, it is unknown whether a sharp cone signal is necessary for the development of these skills or whether a blurry rod signal is sufficient. CNGA3/B3-achromatopsia is a congenital disease stemming from cone dysfunction, leading to rod-only vision characterized by nystagmus, impaired acuity, and complete color blindness.

- Cardiac arrest affects over 600,000 people each year in the U.S., and survival rates have not improved. REBOA, typically used for severe trauma cases, is being explored for use in refractory non-traumatic cardiac arrest to improve blood flow to the heart and brain.
- The study outlined a training program for emergency medicine physicians to perform REBOA in the emergency department, detailing the training and clinical outcomes from their first eight cases, all of which were successfully catheterized on the first attempt.
- While REBOA placement showed a 37.5% rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) among patients, none survived to hospital discharge, indicating the need for further
