Evaluation of Corneal Irregular Astigmatism and Visual Quality Following Bilateral Sequential SMILE and LASEK: A Six-Year Comparative Study. [PDF]
J OphthalmolPurpose To compare the corneal spherical component (SC), regular astigmatism (RA), irregular astigmatism (IA, including asymmetry and irregularity), and visual quality 6 years after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for mild‐to‐moderate myopia.

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review. [PDF]
HeadachePlain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

Bidirectional Predictors Between Neurobehavioural Measures During Total Sleep Deprivation and Baseline and Recovery Sleep Measures. [PDF]
J Sleep ResABSTRACT For the first time, we examined bidirectional predictors between baseline night (B2) and recovery night 1 (R1) actigraphic sleep measures and neurobehavioural indices during total sleep deprivation (TSD) in a 5‐day experiment with 32 healthy adults. During the B2 and R1 nights, wrist actigraphy assessed sleep indices. Neurobehavioural measures

Tetanic Stimulation Leads to Increased Accumulation of Ca^(2+)/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II via Dendritic Protein Synthesis in Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]
, 1999 mRNA for the ɑ-subunit of CaMKII is abundant in dendrites of neurons in the forebrain (Steward, 1997). Here we show that tetanic stimulation of the Schaffer collateral pathway causes an increase in the concentration of ɑ-CaMKII in the dendrites of ...
