Brain and Language Lab, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Education Science, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.

This paper introduces the "NEBULA101 - Neuro-behavioural Understanding of Language Aptitude" dataset, which comprises behavioural and brain imaging data from 101 healthy adults to examine individual differences in language and cognition. Human language, a multifaceted behaviour, varies significantly among individuals, at different processing levels. Recent advances in cognitive science have embraced an integrated approach, combining behavioural and brain studies to explore these differences comprehensively.

Background: The prevalence of burnout among United States (US) dermatologists has surged, reaching 49% in 2023, with a growing volume of bureaucratic tasks (eg, charting, paperwork) the leading factor behind professional fatigue. We seek to explore the competitive landscape and efficacy of AI-powered patient documentation to alleviate burnout among dermatologists by optimizing documentation practices while maintaining accuracy.

Methods: We conducted a review of eighteen AI-powered automated documentation products available in the current healthcare landscape, focusing on their integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems, HIPAA compliance, language support, mobile accessibility, and consumer type.

Introduction: Laryngeal muscle physiology is integral to many speech, voice, swallowing, and respiratory functions. A key determinant of a muscle's contractile properties, including its fatigue profile and capacity for force production, is the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform that predominates in the muscle. This study surveys literature on the MyHC compositions of mammalian intrinsic laryngeal skeletal muscle to illustrate trends and gaps in laryngeal muscle fiber typing techniques, models, and concepts.
