Humans can perform exquisite sensorimotor skills, both individually and in teams, from athletes performing rhythmic gymnastics to everyday tasks like carrying a cup of coffee. The "predictive brain" framework suggests that mastering these tasks relies on predictive mechanisms, raising the question of how we deploy such predictions for real-time control and coordination. This review highlights two lines of research: one showing that during the control of complex objects people make the interaction with 'tools' predictable; the second one examines dyadic coordination showing that people make their behavior predictable for their partners.

Long surgical instruments, particularly in brain endoscopy, often compromise precision and control due to the physical distance between the surgeon's hand and the instrument's tip, increasing the likelihood of tremors. Various technological solutions, including robotics, have been proposed to address this issue. This report outlines the development of a pseudo-perception system aimed at improving control over long instruments in neurosurgical procedures by manipulating visual feedback to enhance the surgeon's sense of proximity to the instrument's tip.

The nose is the most critical aesthetic element of the face and even the smallest loss of substance can create a deformity of concern. The forehead flap has been the workhorse for nasal reconstruction for centuries but requires multiple surgical steps and leads to prominent donor-site scarring. The nasolabial flap allows a single-step reconstruction with a donor-site scar concealed in the nasolabial crease but is conventionally designated for small defects involving the ala.

Article Synopsis
- - Over the last 30 years, miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) has gained popularity due to its potential to reduce complications compared to standard procedures, but there's still debate over best practices and management strategies that hinders wider use.
- - An international panel of urology experts developed a consensus document on mPCNL to provide a comprehensive framework for practice, which included reviewing literature, identifying research gaps, and conducting surveys to gather expert opinions.
- - The study revealed 58 key questions on mPCNL practices, and consensus was achieved on 30 questions, affirming mPCNL as an effective technique for treating upper urinary tract stones in both adults and children.

Background: The continuous technical development of cardiac computed tomography (CT) over the last decades has led to an improvement in image quality and diagnostic accuracy, while simultaneously reducing radiation exposure. Despite these advancements, certain patient-related factors remain a challenge to conduct a high-quality diagnostic examination.
Question: What factors can negatively affect the image quality of cardiac CT and how can these be addressed?
Materials And Methods: Analysis of the available literature on cardiac CT and identification of the quality-limiting factors, discussion, and possible solutions.
