The auditory sensory-memory mechanisms in the human brain were investigated using the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potential. MMNs were recorded to stimuli deviating from the repetitive standard stimuli simultaneously either in one or two features (frequency, intensity). If the processing of these two features is independent of each other, the MMN to the double deviant should equal the sum of the MMNs elicited by the corresponding single deviants. The double-deviant MMNs were found to be additive at the electrode sites below the Sylvian fissure but not at the frontal scalp areas. The results suggest that the temporal subcomponent of MMN is additive whereas the frontal is non-additive. The pattern of results was similar in ignore and attend conditions, suggesting that the components were not attentionally modulated.

Evidence suggests that attenuated mismatch negative (MMN) waves have a close link to auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) and their clinical outcomes, especially impaired neural oscillations such as θ, β representing attentional control. In current study, thirty patients with schizophrenia and AVH (SZ) and twenty-nine healthy controls (HC) underwent multi-feature MMN paradigm measurements including frequency and duration deviant stimuli (fMMN and dMMN). Clinical symptoms and MMN paradigm were followed up among SZ group after 8-week treatment.

Gastric cancer is a common type of gastrointestinal tract malignancy. It is characterized by a poor prognosis - median survival for metastatic disease is about 12 months. A small percentage of gastric cancer is characterized by high sensitivity to systemic treatment, resulting in deep and durable responses.

Research has demonstrated that POU3F4 is integral to various cancers, in addition to its significance in inner ear development, pancreatic differentiation, as well as neural stem cell differentiation. Nevertheless, comprehensive pan-cancer analyses focusing on POU3F4 remain limited. This study aims to assess the prognostic value of POU3F4 in thirty-three cancers and explore its immune-related functions.

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system plays a critical role in transplant immunology, influencing outcomes through various immune-mediated rejection mechanisms. Hyperacute rejection is driven by preformed donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) targeting HLAs, leading to complement activation and graft loss within hours to days. Acute rejection typically occurs within six months post-transplantation, involving cellular and humoral responses, including the formation of de novo DSAs.

The e-STROKE study is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to assess the impact of various CT parameters (including e-ASPECT, CT perfusion (CTP), collateral flow status, and the size and location of the ischemic lesion) on the clinical outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke, as evaluated by the modified Rankins Scale (mRS) three months post-stroke. This study also aims to investigate whether the use of multimodal CT imaging increases the number of patients eligible for recanalization therapy. The analysis will integrate data from the RES-Q registry and radiological data from the e-STROKE system provided by Brainomix Ltd.
