Cognition relies on transforming sensory inputs into a generalizable understanding of the world. Mirror neurons have been proposed to underlie this process, mapping visual representations of others' actions and sensations onto neurons that mediate our own, providing a conduit for understanding. However, this theory has limitations.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by intense central inflammation, leading to substantial post-hemorrhagic complications such as vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. Given the anti-inflammatory effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and its ability to promote brain plasticity, taVNS has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for SAH patients. However, the effects of taVNS on cardiovascular dynamics in critically ill patients, like those with SAH, have not yet been investigated.

Background: Despite its obvious relevance for clinical practice and research, it is surprising that presently no hope measure is available for use among Arabic-speaking populations, especially the most vulnerable ones who have been going through major humanitarian crises. This paper aimed to provide novel insights into psychometric information on the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the Perceived Hope Scale (PHS) in Palestinians living in Gaza who have endured several months of suffering since the war began in October 2023.
Method: This study had a cross-sectional design and applied a quantitative research approach.

Purpose: Proximal femoral fractures are common within the elderly population and are associated with a high risk of mortality and reduced quality of life. Hemiarthroplasty or osteosynthesis (extramedullary or intramedullary) is the primary treatment option for these fractures. However, within this fragile patient population many comorbidities, among others dementia, are seen.

Purpose: Lumbar disc herniation, canal stenosis and cervicarthrosis are degenerative spinal pathologies frequently observed in the aging population of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD). Spinal surgery in PD patients remains risky with uncertain functional results. The main issue is to determine whether a surgical procedure should be performed on PD patients with common degenerative spinal pathologies (CDSP).
