Recognition potential (RP) is an electrical brain response that has proved its usefulness for studying semantic processing of isolated words, and appears when subjects view meaningful stimuli embedded in a stream of background images at a high rate of presentation: the rapid stream stimulation paradigm (RSS). The present technical study is aimed at testing the validity of this procedure in the study of words within sentences. For this purpose, we varied word and background probability of appearance, the number of background stimuli preceding each word, and stimulus onset asynchrony. Probability did not have significant effects on RP, but it was found that a minimum number of two background stimuli preceding each word and a high rate (250 ms) of presentation are preferable for enhancing RP amplitude. The RSS paradigm would therefore improve the visibility-and, hence, refine the analysis-of a component that can nevertheless be obtained with more standard paradigms, such as rapid serial visual presentation, devoid of interspersed background stimuli.

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) relies on the remodeling of periodontal tissues, including the periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone. Collagen remodeling plays a crucial role during this process, allowing for the necessary changes in the PDL's structure and function. Endo180, an urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein, is a transmembrane receptor regulated collagen remodeling.

Background: Multisensory birthing rooms are specially designed and integrate elements such as sound, light, and visual stimuli to create an immersive atmosphere.
Aim: To investigate how implementing multisensory birthing rooms affect midwives' perceptions of their working environment.
Methods: The data material consisted of 16 semi-structured interviews.

Background: There are important inter-relationships between miRNAs and metabolites: alterations in miRNA expression can be induced by various metabolic stimuli, and miRNAs play a regulatory role in numerous cellular processes, impacting metabolism. While both specific miRNAs and metabolites have been identified for their role in childhood asthma, there has been no global assessment of the combined effect of miRNAs and the metabolome in childhood asthma.
Methods: We performed miRNAome-metabolome-wide association studies ('miR-metabo-WAS') in two childhood cohorts of asthma to evaluate the contemporaneous and persistent miRNA-metabolite associations: 1) Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS) (N = 1121); 2) the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) (N = 312 and N = 454).

Background: The aim of this review is to synthesize the existing knowledge regarding headaches attributed to external physical stimuli, as classified by the ICHD-3 (Group 4.6). Two forms can be distinguished in this group: (1) headache attributed to external compression and (2) headache attributed to external traction.

Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) have the potential to facilitate auditory restoration in deaf children and contribute to the maturation of the auditory cortex. The type of CI may impact hearing rehabilitation in children with CI. We aimed to study central auditory processing activation patterns during speech perception in Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI recipients with different device characteristics.
