Natural vision typically involves making multiple eye movements to interpret complex visual scenes. Although previous work has shown that individual saccadic end points are modulated by cognitive context, whether and how contextual factors quantitatively influence the planning of sequential saccades is still unclear. We compared performance of subjects in a modified double-step task under different task instructions (FOLLOW vs. REDIRECT; Ray, Schall, & Murthy, 2004) as well as task structure (40% and 100% FOLLOW). The results support the idea of restricted concurrent preparation when the second saccade was part of the sequence as per task demands as opposed to being inadvertently made following an error. Also, increasing the probability of double-target trials in the task (100% vs. 40% FOLLOW) tended to enhance concurrent planning even when the serial order of saccades continued to remain important. Taken together, these data reveal how the concurrent planning of sequential saccades can be contextually regulated by means of task instruction and trial statistics.

Detection of alteration in carotid artery volumetry using standard-of-care computed tomography surveillance scans following unilateral radiation therapy for early-stage tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma survivors: a cross-sectional internally-matched carotid isodose analysis.
Clin Transl Radiat Oncol
March 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
Aim: This study leveraged standard-of-care CT scans of patients receiving unilateral radiotherapy (RT) for early tonsillar cancer to detect volumetric changes in the carotid arteries, and determine whether there is a dose-response relationship.
Methods: Disease-free cancer survivors (>3 months since therapy and age > 18 years) treated with intensity modulated RT for early (T1-2, N0-2b) tonsillar cancer with pre- and post-therapy contrast-enhanced CT scans available were included. Patients treated with definitive surgery, bilateral RT, or additional RT before the post-RT CT scan were excluded.
Unlabelled: ICANS is a common form of neurological immunotoxicity from CAR T-cell therapy (CAR-T). While high tumor burden, product type and cell dose are established risk factors, there are many unknowns. Our objective was to characterize novel neurological and non-neurological risk factors for the development of ICANS in subjects who received CAR-T.

Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neuroscience, School of Translational Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability, and the transition from hospital to home can be fraught with challenges. The HOME Rehab trial is designed to address if better health outcomes for stroke survivors can be achieved with a contextually relevant and tailored occupational therapy discharge planning and support intervention. Process evaluations inform clinical trial findings and future scale up, as well as how to implement a successful intervention effectively into policy and practice.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Bowen University Teaching Hospital, P. O. Box 15, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Purpose: To investigate the factors that prolonged the operative duration (OD) in patients who underwent single-stage locked intramedullary nailing of their multiple concurrent long-bone fractures (LBFs) using Surgical Implant Generation Network (SIGN) nails.
Methods: Forty-nine patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled prospectively over 8½ years. Data collected included age, sex, injury mechanism and severity, fracture characteristics, nail types and diameter, OD, fracture-to-fixation time, length of hospital stay (LOS), functional outcomes and complications.
Comparative analysis of machine learning approaches for predicting the risk of vaginal laxity.
Sci Rep
January 2025
School of Marine Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, 710072, People's Republic of China.
This study develops predictive models for Chinese female patients with VL utilizing machine learning techniques. The aim is to create an effective model that can assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment of vaginal relaxation, thereby enhancing women's pelvic floor health. In total, 1184 women with VL have been randomly selected and categorized into groups using the finger measurement method.
