Young and old adults were shown pictured or written verbs and asked to name them as quickly as possible. Simultaneous multiple regression was used to investigate which of a set of potential variables predicted naming speed. Age of acquisition was found to be an important predictor of naming speed in both young and old adults, and for both word and picture naming. Word frequency predicted picture-naming speed only in older adults and failed to make any significant contribution to word-naming speeds for either group of participants. The respective loci and roles of age of acquisition and frequency in lexical processing are discussed in the light of these findings.

Optimizing hip MRI: enhancing image quality and elevating inter-observer consistency using deep learning-powered reconstruction.

BMC Med Imaging

January 2025

Department of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450052, China.

Background: Conventional hip joint MRI scans necessitate lengthy scan durations, posing challenges for patient comfort and clinical efficiency. Previously, accelerated imaging techniques were constrained by a trade-off between noise and resolution. Leveraging deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) holds the potential to mitigate scan time without compromising image quality.

Audiovisual Breathing Guidance for Improved Image Quality and Scan Efficiency of T2- and Diffusion-Weighted Liver MRI.

Invest Radiol

January 2025

From the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany (N.M., A.I., A.L., L.B., T.D., D. Kravchenko, D. Kuetting, C.C.P., J.A.L.); Quantitative Imaging Lab Bonn (QILaB), Bonn, Germany (N.M., A.I., L.B., D. Kravchenko, D. Kuetting, J.A.L.); Philips Healthcare, Hamburg, Germany (C.K.); Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, the Netherlands (A.H.-M.); and Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Aachen, Aachen, Germany (C.Y.).

Objectives: Impaired image quality and long scan times frequently occur in respiratory-triggered sequences in liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We evaluated the impact of an in-bore active breathing guidance (BG) application on image quality and scan time of respiratory-triggered T2-weighted (T2) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) by comparing sequences with standard triggering (T2S and DWIS) and with BG (T2BG and DWIBG).

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, random patients with clinical indications for liver MRI underwent 3 T MRI with standard and BG acquisitions.

Background: This study was done with objectives of determining the predictors of mortality in patients with Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB) Blood stream Infection (BSI) along with estimating mortality attributable to carbapenem resistance (CR).

Methods: In this prospective cohort study (January 2023-September 2024), done in 3 tertiary care centres in India, patients found to have mono-microbial GNB BSI were included. Primary outcome was crude mortality at day 30 of onset of BSI.

The Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (SST) posits that older and younger adults have different life goals due to differences in perceived remaining lifetime. Younger adults focus more on future-oriented knowledge exploration and forming new friendships, while older adults prioritize present-focused emotional regulation and maintaining close relationships. While previous research has found these age differences manifest in autobiographical textual expressions, their presence in verbal communication remains unexplored.
