The attentional functioning of nondysphoric, mildly dysphoric, and moderately to severely dysphoric college students was tested using the attentional blink (AB) paradigm. These groups performed equally well at reporting a single target appearing in a rapidly presented stream of stimuli. All groups showed an AB, with report sensitivity for a 2nd target being reduced when the 2 targets were presented less than 0.5 s apart. Nondysphoric and mildly dysphoric participants showed the same size ABs, but the ABs for moderately to severely dysphoric participants were larger and longer. As predicted, the results showed that moderately to severely dysphoric individuals have attentional impairments. These impairments, however, were evident only in the more demanding dual-task condition.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk factors that may delay enhanced recovery in the ablation of liver tumors.
Methods: A total of 310 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided ablation of liver tumors under general anesthesia were prospectively enrolled. Baseline data, intraoperative parameters, and postoperative events were evaluated.

Importance: Data characterizing the severity and changing prevalence of bone mineral density (BMD) deficits and associated nonfracture consequences among childhood cancer survivors decades after treatment are lacking.
Objective: To evaluate risk for moderate and severe BMD deficits in survivors and to identify long-term consequences of BMD deficits.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the St Jude Lifetime (SJLIFE) cohort, a retrospectively constructed cohort with prospective follow-up.

Background And Aims: Increased intestinal permeability exacerbates the development of metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Autophagy is important for maintaining normal intestinal permeability. Here, we investigated the impact of intestinal transcription factor EB (TFEB), a key regulator of autophagy, in intestinal permeability and MASH progression.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of nocturnal chronic hypoxia on the thickness changes of the corneal limbal epithelial area that provides regeneration of the corneal epithelium and ocular surface evaluation parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: All patients diagnosed with OSA and the control group underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including slit-lamp examination and funduscopy. Tear break-up time, Schirmer test-I, Ocular Surface Disease Index Questionnaire, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography were performed with fluorescein sterile strip for ocular surface evaluation.

Objectives: Motorcycle helmets save lives and reduce serious injury after motorcycle collisions (MCC). In 2022, 18 states had laws requiring helmet use by motorcyclists aged ≥21 years. Our objective was to compare helmet use and head trauma in emergency medical services (EMS) patients involved in MCC in states with and without helmet use laws.
