In cases of intractable epilepsy, language and memory functioning in the hemisphere contralateral to the lesion is determined prior to unilateral temporal surgery. Patients with unilateral temporal lobe lesions were assessed using the intracarotid sodium amytal (Wada) procedure to determine the lateralisation of language and memory functioning. They also performed a divided visual field task in which letters were presented in pairs for brief durations on a computer screen in a phonemic matching task. The results showed only moderate agreement between the two methods with regard to identification of the speech-dominant hemisphere, indicating the divided visual field matching paradigm to be unsuitable as a basis for surgical decision-making.

Department of Marine Design Convergence Engineering, Pukyong National University, Korea.
This study aims to explore the distribution of visual attention on sustainability graphics when viewing an eco-friendly product and the recall of sustainability information afterward. Twenty-five students majoring in environmental studies and twenty-five students from non-environmental majors participated in the study. They were further divided into a higher group and a lower group based on their sustainability level.

Background: To accurately identify spread through air spaces (STAS) in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, our study developed a non-invasive and interpretable biomarker combining clinical and radiomics features using preoperative CT.
Methods: The study included a cohort of 1,325 lung adenocarcinoma patients from three centers, which was divided into four groups: a training cohort ( = 930), a testing cohort ( = 238), an external validation 1 cohort ( = 93), and 2 cohort ( = 64). We collected clinical characteristics and semantic features, and extracted radiomics features.
Acute effects of tissue flossing on boxers with chronic knee pain.

January 2025
School of Athletic Performance, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai, China.
Objectives: To explore the acute intervention effects of tissue flossing on chronic knee pain (CKP) in boxers.
Methods: Eighteen boxers with CKP (12 male/6 female) were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) with tissue flossing (n = 9) and a control group (CG) (n = 9). The visual analog scale (VAS), Lysholm knee function score, flexion range of motion (ROM), maximal isometric extensor muscle strength, and stability of the knee were measured pre- and post-intervention (EG: 3-minute tissue flossing, CG: rest).
Establishment and validation of a nomogram for coronary artery lesions in children with Kawasaki disease.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Clinical Laboratory, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Background: The nomogram is a powerful and robust tool in disease risk prediction that summarizes complex variables into a visual model that is interpretable with a quantified risk probability. In the current study, a nomogram was developed to predict the occurrence of coronary artery lesions (CALs) among patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). This is especially valuable in the early identification of the risk of CALs, which will lead to proper diagnosis and treatment to reduce their associated complications.

Introduction: Intramedullary tibial nailing is a standard treatment for tibial shaft fractures. Postoperative knee pain significantly impacts functional recovery; however, studies on this issue are limited. This study evaluated the effect of the parapatellar approach for intramedullary nailing on postoperative knee pain.
