Lying is essential to social communication. Despite years of research, its detection still poses many challenges. This is partly because some individuals are perceived as truthful and reliable, even when lying. However, relatively little is known about these effective liars. In our study, we focused on the cognitive functioning of effective liars. We tested 400 participants who completed tasks measuring executive functions, verbal fluency, and fluid intelligence, and also made four statements (two true and two false, half of them written and half oral). The reliability of the statements was then assessed. Only fluid intelligence was found to be relevant for reliable lying. This relationship was only evident for oral statements, suggesting that the importance of intelligence is highlighted when statements are made spontaneously without prior preparation.

Reliability of Neuronavigation in Localizing the Internal Acoustic Canal during Middle Fossa Approach.
J Neurol Surg B Skull Base
February 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, Türkiye.
The absence of precise landmarks in the middle fossa floor and frequent anatomical variations make it difficult to localize the internal acoustic canal (IAC) during the middle fossa approach (MFA). We aimed to investigate the reliability and utility of the neuronavigation system (NNS) in the MFA and to delineate specific technical considerations regarding NNS during the approach. One-millimeter-thin section computed tomography scans were performed on five formalin-fixed human cadavers (10 sides).

National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch Hsin-Chu Hospital, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Background: The prone position is commonly used in surgical procedures and is known to cause significant hemodynamic changes, particularly a reduction in cardiac output. This study aimed to explore the relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), airway pressure, and cardiac output during spine surgeries under general anesthesia.
Methods: Twenty-five patients undergoing elective spine surgery in the prone position were enrolled in this prospective observational study.
Scaphoid Fat Stripe Sign: Is It a Reliable Radiological Sign of Scaphoid Fracture in Children?
Children (Basel)
January 2025
University Hospital of Lausanne, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland.
Objectives: The scaphoid fat pad stripe (SFS) is a radiological sign first described in 1975 as a line of relative lucency lying parallel to the lateral border of the scaphoid, with slight convexity toward it, and it is optimally demonstrated on postero-anterior and oblique views with ulnar deviation of the carpus. The obliteration or displacement of this line is commonly present in acute fractures of the scaphoid, radial styloid process, and proximal first metacarpus. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the supportive value of the fat stripe sign (SFS) in the diagnosis of scaphoid fractures in the pediatric population.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important indicator of cardiac autonomic function. Given its clinical significance, reliable HRV assessment is crucial. Here, we assessed test-retest stability, as a key aspect of reliability, quantifying the consistency of a measure when repeated under the same conditions.

Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.
Background: There are significant discrepancies in the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) reported in the literature. We aimed to determine the ultrasonographic imaging features of ONSD and ophthalmic vessels in a healthy population, using a standardized protocol, and to estimate the effect of demographics and positioning changes on imaging measurements.
Methods: We measured the mean values of the ONSD in supine and sitting position and the Doppler imaging parameters of the ophthalmic, central retinal and short posterior ciliary arteries.
