How does a person make decisions across perceptual boundaries? Here, we test the account that confidence constitutes a common currency for perceptual decisions even in childhood by examining whether confidence can be compared across distinct perceptual dimensions. We conducted a strict test of domain-generality in confidence reasoning by asking 6- to 7-year-olds to compare their confidence in 2 decisions, either from the same perceptual dimension (e.g., number vs. number) or from two different perceptual dimensions (e.g., area vs. emotion). Not only could children compare their confidence across and within domains but there were no differences in their abilities to make within- and across-domain comparisons. Our findings support the idea that confidence is represented in a common format even in childhood, which could provide an account for perceptual integration in childhood that doesn't necessitate the use of language.

Purpose: Multigene assays guide treatment decisions in early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. OncoFREE, a next-generation sequencing assay using 179 genes, was developed for this purpose. This study aimed to evaluate the concordance between the Oncotype DX (ODX) Recurrence Score (RS) and the OncoFREE Decision Index (DI) and to compare their performance.

Aims: To compare the efficacy of adding imeglimin versus that of metformin dose escalation on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor plus low-dose metformin (500-1000 mg/day).

Materials And Methods: In this multicentre, open-labelled, prospective, randomized, parallel-group comparison study, the addition of imeglimin (2000 mg/day) or metformin escalation was applied for 24 weeks in eligible subjects. The primary endpoint was the mean change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 24 weeks.

Assessing the Risk of Kidney Stone Development in Patients With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treated With Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors.

J Neuroophthalmol

December 2024

College of Medicine (JM, AGL), Texas A&M University, Houston, Texas; Department of Ophthalmology (SAA, OAD, AGL), Blanton Eye Institute, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas; Department of Ophthalmology (SAA), The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan; Department of Ophthalmology (OAD), Hashemite University, Amman, Jordan; Department of Ophthalmology (AL, AGL), Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas; Departments of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery (AGL), Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York; Department of Ophthalmology (AGL), University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas; and Department of Ophthalmology (AGL), The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa.

Background: The prevalence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is rising with the global obesity epidemic. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs), such as acetazolamide, have been shown to be effective in IIH but can also lead to kidney stone formation. This study evaluates the risk of kidney stone development in patients with IIH treated with CAIs.

Purpose: To compare the analgesic efficacy, adverse effects, and long-term functional outcomes of perioperative naproxen alone versus naproxen with pregabalin for treating pain in ankle fractures.

Methods: This study included 70 patients who underwent operative fixation of rotatory ankle fractures. Group A received naproxen 500 mg only, and Group B received naproxen 500 mg with pregabalin 75 mg 2-hour before surgery and 12 hourly for 14 days thereafter.

Depressive symptoms after surgical and medical management of OSA: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sleep Breath

December 2024

Sleep Surgery Division, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, 135 Rutledge Avenue, MSC550, Charleston, SC, 29425, USA.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of CPAP and surgical alternatives for OSA on depression and compare the results of surgery to CPAP. ​METHODS: COCHRANE Library, CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched for English-language articles. Meta-analysis of continuous measures (mean), proportions (%), and mean difference (Δ) with 95% confidence interval was conducted for objective and subjective outcomes before and after treatment with CPAP or surgical interventions.
