Background: The characteristics of self-corrected publications have not been fully evaluated.

Purpose: To evaluate the annual number and characteristics of self-corrected publications in the imaging literature within the last 20 years.

Material And Methods: We searched MEDLINE (via PubMed) using the following keyword: ("Published Erratum" [Publication Type] OR "Corrected and Republished Article" [Publication Type]) in the imaging literature to identify all self-corrected publications in which initial versions of articles were published during 1999-2018. Extracted data included: date of publication of the original version; date of correction notification; the time interval between initial publication and correction; journal name; journal impact factor (IF); type of articles; number of authors; country of origin; and location of errors. Journals were divided into four quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on their IF.

Results: A total of 1071 self-corrected publications were identified, representing 0.30% of all papers published in the imaging literature. Trend analysis showed exponential growth of the number and rate of self-corrected publications during 1999-2018. The median (range) time interval from initial publication to correction was 120 days (0-7755 days). The rate of self-corrected publications in Q4 journals (0.17%) was significantly lower than those in Q1 (0.35%, <0.0001), Q2 (0.26%, =0.0007), and Q3 (0.30%, <0.0001) journals. Additionally, 80.8% of self-corrected publications were original articles, 29.2% were from the USA, and 30.7% were corrected for author information (name, affiliation, and email address).

Conclusion: Self-corrected publications in the imaging literature have increased exponentially during 1999-2018 and author information was the most common location of error correction.

A Case Study of Suspected Childhood Apraxia of Sign.

Perspect ASHA Spec Interest Groups

October 2024

School of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, San Diego State University, CA.

Purpose: We provide a case report of "Zoe," a 4-year-old deaf child from a deaf signing family, who presented with a possible case of Childhood Apraxia of Sign (CASign).

Method: The description is based on reports from the child's speech-language pathologist, her Individualized Education Program report, and a clinician-created sign imitation task.

Results: Zoe's sign articulation errors in American Sign Language differed from those reported for typically developing deaf children and were parallel to the types of errors observed for hearing children with childhood apraxia of speech.

Recently, microdevices made of resins have been strongly supporting cell analysis in a range of fields, from fundamental life science research to medical applications. Many microdevices are fabricated by molding resin to a mold made precisely from rigid materials. However, because dimensional errors in the mold are also accurately printed to the products, the accuracy of the product is limited to less than the accuracy of the rigid mold.

The current study investigated how aging affects production and self-correction of errors in connected speech elicited via a read aloud task. Thirty-five cognitively healthy older and 56 younger participants read aloud 6 paragraphs in each of three conditions increasing in difficulty: (a) normal, (b) nouns-swapped (in which nouns were shuffled across pairs of sentences in each paragraph), and (c) exchange (in which adjacent words in every two sentences were reversed in order). Reading times and errors increased with task difficulty, but self-correction rates were lowest in the nouns-swapped condition.

Saccade alterations are potential early signs of Alzheimer's disease. However, uncertainty persists in how early and reliably automated saccade recording systems detect impairments. This multicenter pathophysiological case-control transversal study explored saccade execution in carefully diagnosed amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients fulfilling research criteria for prodromal Alzheimer's disease (n = 29), as compared to both aged-matched mild Alzheimer's disease patients (n = 23) and controls (n = 27).
