Background The literature has shown the positive effect of virtual reality (VR) in percepto-cognitive skills. However, the literature lacks findings about at what extent VR would be better than video. Purpose This study aimed to analyze the chronic effect of VR and video-stimulation screen training on passing decision-making, visual search behavior, and inhibitory control performance in young soccer athletes. Method A total of 26 young soccer players underwent an 8-week training protocol after being randomly assigned to the VR (n = 13) or video-screen (VID, n = 13) group. Passing decision-making, visual search behavior, and inhibitory control performance were measured before and after both interventions. Results A group x time interaction was found for decision-making performance (p < 0.01) and visual search behavior (p < 0.01). Both groups improved both decision-making performance (p < 0.01) and visual search behavior (p < 0.01); however, greater improvements were verified in VR (p < 0.01). Both VR and VID improved inhibitory control (p < 0.01), but no group interaction effect was observed (p > 0.05). Conclusion Our results suggest that VR leads to greater improvements in decision-making and visual search behavior in young soccer athletes than VID.

Acute pancreatitis (AP), induced by tetracycline, a widely used antibiotic, poses significant clinical and toxicological challenges, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to promote drug toxicology strategies for the effective investigation of the putative toxicity and potential molecular mechanisms of antibiotic drugs through the study of tetracycline in AP. Using the SwissTargetPrediction, SEA Search, Super-PRED, GeneCards, Drugbank, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), we identified 259 potential targets associated with tetracycline exposure and AP.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensorimotor sleep disorder that affects sleep quality of life. Much effort has been made to make progress in RLS pharmacotherapy; however, patients with RLS still report poor long-term symptom control. Comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed to search for potential causal genes and drug targets using the cis-pQTL and RLS GWAS data.

Intracranial calcifications, particularly within the falx cerebri, serve as crucial diagnostic markers ranging from benign accumulations to signs of severe pathologies. The falx cerebri, a dural fold that separates the cerebral hemispheres, presents challenges in visualization due to its low contrast in standard imaging techniques. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in machine learning and deep learning, have significantly transformed radiological diagnostics.

Pusher behavior after stroke is an important sequela that interferes with rehabilitation and independence in activities of daily living. As represented by visual or vestibular feedback, conventional methods require substantial assistance and time commitments, but have limited effectiveness. A recent case series suggests that prone posture may alleviate pusher behavior in patients with acute stroke.

Background And Objective: The effects of neonatal hypoglycemia on the developing brain are well known, resulting in poor neurological outcomes. We aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis on neonatal hypoglycemia, the severity of hypoglycemia, and the associated neurodevelopmental outcomes from infancy to adulthood.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted from inception until March 2024, using the PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and the CENTRAL databases.
