The occurrence of time processing problems in individuals with Development Dyscalculia (DD) has favored the view of a general magnitude system devoted to both numerical and temporal information. Yet, this scenario has been partially challenged by studies indicating that time difficulties can be attributed to poor calculation or counting skills, which can support reasoning on time in school-aged children and adults. Here, we tackle this debate by exploring the performance of young children before they fully develop the symbolic number system. Preschoolers at risk of developing DD were compared with typically developing children in a series of tasks investigating time processing and in their 'sense of time', evaluated by parents and teachers. Results yielded a poorer performance in time reproduction of 5-second intervals and in time discrimination, as well as a weaker 'sense of time', in children at risk of DD. These findings provide evidence of a common magnitude system that would be responsible for deficits in both numerical and temporal domains, already at early stages of life.

Objective: This study evaluated the outcomes of a 36-month follow-up after treatment with the ELLEX 2RT nanosecond laser.
Material And Methods: The study included 72 patients divided into two groups. Group 1 received 2RT nanosecond laser therapy, while group 2 did not undergo laser treatment.

The role of the right hemisphere in aphasia recovery has been controversial since the 19th century. Imaging studies have sometimes found increased activation in right hemisphere regions homotopic to canonical left hemisphere language regions, but these results have been questioned due to small sample sizes, unreliable imaging tasks, and task performance confounds that affect right hemisphere activation levels even in neurologically healthy adults. Several principles of right hemisphere language recruitment in aphasia have been proposed based on these studies: that the right hemisphere is recruited primarily by individuals with severe left hemisphere damage, that transcallosal disinhibition results in recruitment of right hemisphere regions homotopic to the lesion, and that increased right hemisphere activation diminishes to baseline levels over time.

Carbon-11 (C)-labeled radiotracers are invaluable tools in positron emission tomography (PET), enabling real-time visualization of biochemical processes with high sensitivity and specificity. Among the various C synthons, cyclotron-produced [C]CO is a fundamental precursor, though its direct incorporation into complex molecules has traditionally been limited by its low reactivity, gaseous form, and short half-life. Recent advances in [C]CO fixation chemistry through both nonphotocatalytic and photocatalytic methods have significantly expanded its utility in the synthesis of structurally diverse compounds, including carboxylic acids, carbonates, carbamates, amides, and ureas.

Processing delays can negatively affect listening experience, especially in cases where the (processed) delayed sound interferes with an un-delayed (or direct) sound component, as it is the case for (open-fit) hearing devices. In this study, psychometric functions for delay perception in individual frequency bands were measured. Also, it was assessed how noticeability adds up across frequency bands for frequency-dependent processing delays.

Background: The NSQIP Pediatric Semi-annual report (NSQIP Ped SAR) provides hospitals with risk-adjusted benchmarked results for comparative performance based on 1 year of data. These data are 6 to 18 months old due to requirements for data processing and modeling and this delay potentially limits its usefulness for hospital surgical quality improvement efforts. A timelier reporting mechanism is needed.
