Article Abstract
Background: Intelligence measures play a pivotal role in the diagnosis of mathematical learning disabilities (MLD). Probably as a result of math-related material in IQ tests, children with MLD often display reduced IQ scores. However, it remains unclear whether the effects of math remediation extend to IQ scores.
Aims: The present study investigated the impact of a special remediation program compared to a control group receiving private tutoring (PT) on the WISC IQ scores of children with MLD.
Methods: We included N=45 MLD children (7-12 years) in a study with a pre- and post-test control group design. Children received remediation for two years on average.
Results: The analyses revealed significantly greater improvements in the experimental group on the Full-Scale IQ, and the Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, and Working Memory indices, but not Processing Speed, compared to the PT group. Children in the experimental group showed an average WISC IQ gain of more than ten points.
Conclusion: Results indicate that the WISC IQ scores of MLD children might be underestimated and that an effective math intervention can improve WISC IQ test performance. Taking limitations into account, we discuss the use of IQ measures more generally for defining MLD in research and practice.

Background: Acute pain after cardiac surgery via median sternotomy is commonly managed with multimodal analgesia, but optimal regional techniques remain uncertain. Superficial parasternal intercostal plane (SPIP) blocks have shown promise for postoperative pain control, with the use of catheters extending these benefits up to three days. This study evaluated the efficacy of single-injection SPIP blocks with liposomal bupivacaine in reducing opioid consumption following cardiac surgery.

Background: Understanding the influence of cardiovascular risk factors on longitudinal cardiac remodelling requires three-dimensional analysis of longitudinal shape changes beyond scalar indicators such as mass and volumes. The aim of this study is to determine trajectories of cardiovascular risk factor-related remodelling in a large cohort imaging study.
Methods: We examined 2,521 participants (54% female, aged 60±9y) of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) at baseline and after 10 years.
