We measured the variability of the b-wave of the electroretinogram as a function of stimulus luminance in two young normal individuals. We also estimated b-wave variability by examining residuals from Naka-Rushton curves fit to intensity-response data. The change of variability with amplitude was similar with both techniques. The standard deviation of b-wave amplitude rose with b-wave amplitude at low stimulus intensities. At higher intensities, the standard deviation of b-wave amplitude became constant. The point at which the standard deviation became constant was Log K for the eye, as determined by fitting the data with the Naka-Rushton equation. These changes suggest that the mechanisms underlying the growth of the b-wave with luminance change near Log K.

Background: Limited studies have explored the relationship between estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate(eGFR) and in-hospital mortality(IHM) in low-income sub-Saharan African countries. This study aimed to explores this association, offering insights into its impact in resource-limited settings.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively included 226 patients(age 45.

This paper is a follow-up to Ellermeier, Kattner, and Raum (2021, Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 83, 2955-2967), and provides a reanalysis of their data on cross-modal commutativity from a Bayesian perspective, and a theory-based analysis grounded on a recently suggested extension of a global psychophysical approach to cross-modal judgments (Heller, 2021, Psychological Review, 128, 509-524). This theory assumes that stimuli are judged against respondent-generated internal references that are modality-specific and potentially role-dependent (i.e.

Objectives: Chest wall infiltration in primary lung cancer affects the surgical and therapeutic strategies. This study evaluates the efficacy of the chest wall vessel involvement in subpleural lung cancer (CWVI) on ultra-high-resolution CT (UHR-CT) for detecting chest wall invasion.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of lung cancer cases with confirmed pleural and chest wall invasion was conducted from November 2019 to April 2022.
Novel brain SPECT imaging unravels abnormal cerebral perfusion in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and cognitive dysfunction.

Cognitive dysfunction is frequently reported in individuals with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), possibly resulting from reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). We used brain SPECT, an accessible imaging modality that has not been systematically evaluated in this patient group. Retrospective review of participants from our registry was undertaken to identify those who had a brain SPECT performed for investigation of cognitive dysfunction.

Electronic address:
Compared to outdoor mango cultivation in the tropics, greenhouse cultivation in temperate regions is less reported due to its short history and small scale. Here, we evaluated for the first time the taste-focused quality of greenhouse-grown mangoes (Irwin) by GC-MS metabolic profiling and sensory evaluation for over three years (2021-2023). The relative standard deviation in sensory evaluation scores was approximately 15 % each year.
