Early visual selection in near and far space: an event-related potential study.

Neuroreport

Faculty of Education, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

Published: June 2008

Earlier behavioral studies have shown that near space (within reaching distance) is represented in the brain separately from far space (out of reaching distance), and the relationship between the different spatial coordinates and spatial attention is unclear. The typical event-related potentials of P1 and N1 in the near (viewing distance of 30 cm) and far (140 cm) conditions, with stimuli at a constant visual angle are examined in this study. An early P1 (100-130 ms poststimulus) attention effect at occipital parietal sites increased in response to stimuli at the left visual field only in near space. This suggests that near and far spatial representations are involved in early visual selection.

Introduction: Ultrasonography is increasingly used to diagnose the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Most frequently, the enlargement of the nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) at the tunnel inlet serves to confirm the diagnosis. Recent research has shown that the nerve diameter is decreased within the tunnel, when measured at the level of pisiforme or capitatum.

Excessive cholesterol absorption from intestinal lumen contributes to the pathogenesis of hypercholesterolemia, which is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is a major membrane protein responsible for cholesterol absorption, in which the physiological role of vesicular endocytosis is still controversial, and it lacks a feasible tool to visualize and evaluate the endocytosis of NPC1L1 vesicles . Here, we genetically labeled endogenous NPC1L1 protein with EGFP in a knock-in mouse model, and demonstrated fluorescent visualization and evaluation of the endocytic vesicles of NPC1L1-cago during intestinal cholesterol absorption.

Bibliometric Analysis of Global Pediatric Research on Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.

J Asthma Allergy

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Fuzhou Children's Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, Fujian, People's Republic of China.

Background: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a prevalent food allergy in early childhood, significantly impacting the quality of life for affected children. Current palliative measures, such as specialized formula milk, offer temporary relief but are costly and fail to address the underlying issue. Thus, there is a critical need to better understand CMPA and explore new treatment options.

Use of Magnetic Resonance Neurography for Sensory Nerve Injuries of the Head and Neck.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

January 2025

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY.

Background: Identification of peripheral nerve injuries of the head and neck can be challenging due to a broad spectrum of symptoms from neuropathic pain to headaches and migraine. This article aimed to present the clinical features and diagnostic workup of patients with acute and chronic peripheral nerve injuries of the head and neck using magnetic resonance neurography (MRN), to demonstrate potential advantages compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: Patients who presented with suspected peripheral nerve injury were either referred for a conventional MRI or MRN.

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes and a primary cause of visual impairment amongst working-age individuals. DR is a degenerative condition in which hyperglycaemia results in morphological and functional changes in certain retinal cells. Existing treatments mainly address the advanced stages of the disease, which involve vascular defects or neovascularization.
