Facial occlusion with medical masks: Impacts on emotion recognition rates for emotion types and intensities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, mask-wearing became prominent or required worldwide as a predominant preventive strategy up until and even after vaccines became widely available. Because masks make emotion recognition more challenging for both the face and voice, medical and behavioural/mental health providers became aware of the disruptions this generated in practitioner-patient relationships. The current set of studies utilised two adult samples, first from United States college students ( = 516) and second from the U.

New Disability in a Cohort Study of Older Men-The Manitoba Follow-Up Study.

Background: There is a large literature on the prevalence of disability in older men, but less data on the incidence of new disability.

Objectives: 1. To determine the incidence of moderate-to-severe disability in a prospective cohort study of aging men; and 2.

A practical approach to the post esophagectomy CT: expected postoperative anatomy and anatomical approach to associated complication.

This pictorial review aims to provide a structured approach to the interpretation of post esophagectomy CT by reviewing the major esophagectomy surgeries and conduit reconstructions, along with their associated complications at key anatomical landmarks. This paper combines an image rich experience and evidence-based approach to common and rare complications. The paper begins with an overview of the conventional Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and the expected postoperative imaging appearance (with separate detailed tables on additional surgical reconstructions), followed by a focused review of various complications at specific anatomical sites in a systematic fashion.

Dosimetric comparison of hippocampal-sparing technologies in patients with low-grade glioma.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) plays an integral role in the management of low-grade gliomas (LGG). Late toxicity from RT can cause progressive neurocognitive dysfunction. Radiation-induced damage to the hippocampus (HCP) plays a considerable role in memory decline.
