Conventional false memories recount events that either did not happen (item errors) or that happened in a different context (source errors). Fuzzy-trace theory predicts deeper anomalies that lie behind conventional false memories. These deep distortions are structural irregularities in the ways that specific recountings are related to each other or to some objective standard (e.g., the 0 and 1 limits of probability). I discuss five deep distortions for which substantial data have accumulated: overdistribution, non-additivity, conjunction illusions, non-compensation, and super-overdistribution. Together, these phenomena violate the disjunction and additivity axioms of probability, as well as the law of the excluded middle. The theoretical problem they pose is to explain how valid representations of our experience produce memory regularities that violate our experience in the most fundamental ways.

Population-based, first-tier genomic newborn screening in the maternity ward.
Nat Med
January 2025
Division of Child Neurology, Reference Center for Neuromuscular Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, CHU Liege, University of Liege, Liege, Belgium.
The rapid development of therapies for severe and rare genetic conditions underlines the need to incorporate first-tier genetic testing into newborn screening (NBS) programs. A workflow was developed to screen newborns for 165 treatable pediatric disorders by deep sequencing of regions of interest in 405 genes. The prospective observational BabyDetect pilot project was launched in September 2022 in a maternity ward of a public hospital in the Liege area, Belgium.

Anterior prostate cancers (APCs) are a group of impalpable neoplasms located in regions anterior to the urethra, which comprise the transition zone, apical peripheral zone and anterior fibromuscular stroma. These regions are typically undersampled using conventional biopsy schemes, leading to a low detection rate for APC and a high rate of false negatives. Radical prostatectomy series suggest prevalence rates of at least 10-30%, but transperineal systematic biopsy is ideal for diagnosis, particularly where multiparametric MRI is unavailable.

Software-Defined Networks (SDN) provides more control and network operation over a network infrastructure as an emerging and revolutionary paradigm in networking. Operating the many network applications and preserving the network services and functions, the SDN controller is regarded as the operating system of the SDN-based network architecture. The SDN has several security problems because of its intricate design, even with all its amazing features.

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Purpose: To compare same-day photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) to conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) for detection of small renal stones (≤ 3 mm).
Methods: Patients undergoing clinical dual-energy EID-CT for known or suspected stone disease underwent same-day research PCD-CT. Patients with greater than 10 stones and no visible stones under 3 mm were excluded.
Reusable Biosensor for Easy RNA Detection from Unfiltered Saliva.

Department of Clinical and Molecular Biochemistry, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, 72 Powstańców Wlkp. Al., 70-111 Szczecin, Poland.
Biosensors are transforming point-of-care diagnostics by simplifying the detection process and enabling rapid, accurate testing. This study introduces a novel, reusable biosensor designed for direct viral RNA detection from unfiltered saliva, targeting SARS-CoV-2. Unlike conventional methods requiring filtration, our biosensor leverages a unique electrode design that prevents interference from saliva debris, allowing precise measurements.
