The syndrome of visuospatial neglect is a common consequence of unilateral brain injury. It is most often associated with stroke and is more severe and persistent following right hemisphere damage, with reported frequencies in the acute stage of up to 80%. Neglect is primarily a disorder of attention whereby patients characteristically fail to orientate, to report or to respond to stimuli located on the contralesional side. Neglect is usually caused by large strokes in the middle cerebral artery territory and is heterogeneous, such that most patients do not manifest every feature of the syndrome. A number of treatments may improve neglect, but there is no widely accepted universal approach to therapy. Although most patients recover spontaneously, the evidence suggests that they continue to have significant cognitive impairments, particularly relating to attention.

Assessing the impact of Ghana's geology on gold mining using geospatial techniques.

School of Mines and Built Environment, University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Ghana.
As the largest gold producer in Africa, Ghana's spatial distribution of gold-bearing formations is still largely unexamined on a national scale. Previous studies have largely focused on specific mining regions, neglecting a holistic geospatial assessment of gold-bearing rocks across the country. This study employs geospatial techniques to evaluate the relationship between Ghana's geological formations and gold mineralization.

Studies of extinction typically focus on unintended losses of biodiversity and culture. This study, however, examines an attempt to induce extinction of a parasite: human hookworm ( and ). Our interdisciplinary approach integrates medical history and epidemiology using records created by the Jamaica Hookworm Commission of 1919-1936.

Neglect of one side of space, typically contralateral to a lesion of one cerebral hemisphere, is a multicomponent neurologic syndrome. In humans, left neglect after right brain damage is more frequent, severe, or both, than right neglect after left brain damage. Right neglect is behaviorally like left neglect.

Traffic flow prediction is a key challenge in intelligent transportation, and the ability to accurately forecast future traffic flow directly affects the efficiency of urban transportation systems. However, existing deep learning-based prediction models suffer from the following issues: First, CNN- or RNN-based models are limited by their architecture and unsuitable for modeling long-term sequences. Second, most Transformer-based methods focus solely on the traffic flow data itself during embedding, neglecting the implicit information behind the traffic data.
