Application of negative pressure wound therapy to partially closed median sternotomy in a dog.

A 6-year-old Labrador retriever dog with a history of pneumonia was presented because of an acute onset of dull mentation and coughing. Diagnostic imaging and cytology revealed a pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pleural effusion, consistent with pyothorax. The dog underwent exploratory sternotomy for lung lobectomy of the right cranial and middle lung lobes.

Computational modeling of selective attention differentiates subtypes of amnestic mild cognitive impairment.

Individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, show inhibition deficits in addition to episodic memory. How the latent processes of selective attention (i.e.

Partial or Focal Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Recent advances in image-guided brachytherapy have allowed for treatment volume reduction in the treatment of prostate cancer, with the aim to optimize disease control and reduce toxicities. This systematic review reports on the efficacy and safety of focal brachytherapy for treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer.

Methods: Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane were searched from inception to July 2023.

Mismatch negativity predicts age-related declines in memory precision.

Does precision in auditory perception predict precision in subsequent memory (i.e., mnemonic discrimination) in aging? This study examined if the mismatch negativity (MMN), an electrophysiological marker of change detection and encoding, relates to age differences in mnemonic discrimination.
