Human‐operant evaluation of synthesized alternative reinforcement and resurgence

Basic research suggests that differential reinforcement with synthesized alternative reinforcement (i.e., delivery of two or more qualitatively different reinforcers contingent on a single alternative response) increases resurgence during disruptions to the contingency. We evalua...

Updated Practice Patterns for Adjuvant Treatment of Recurrent Laryngeal Papillomatosis

OBJECTIVES: Adjuvant medical treatments are used to reduce recurrence rates of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Prior consensus statements on initiation of adjuvants may not reflect current practices, particularly given safety data published in the interval. The object...

Wnt Pathway Agonism as a Therapeutic Strategy for Retinal Vascular Diseases: A Narrative Review of Evidence to Date

Breakdown of the blood–retinal barrier (BRB) is implicated in many blinding retinal diseases, including diabetic macular edema, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies or laser photoco...

Postoperative factors associated with hazardous alcohol use after metabolic and bariatric surgery

Abstract Introduction There is an increased risk of hazardous alcohol use following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Identifying risk factors of hazardous alcohol use, particularly factors that may differentiate risk among those with regular postoperative alcohol consumptio...

Systematic review on the association between brain-related measures and upper limb movement characteristics after stroke

Abstract Background Upper limb (UL) movements are highly diverse, as are movement deficits following stroke. The relationship that stroke pathology has with UL impairments and their recovery has been studied with an increasingly complex array of neuroimaging and neurophysiology t...

Locoregional and systemic adoptive cellular therapies for pediatric brain tumors: a systematic review of CAR‑T, TCR‑engineered T cells, and NK cell strategies

Adoptive cellular therapies may expand treatment options for pediatric brain tumors by focusing activity on tumor antigens and limiting off-tumor effects. We systematically reviewed preclinical and clinical evidence for CAR T cells, TCR-engineered T cells, and NK or γδ T-cell pla...

Impaired but now diagnosable: Combining analytic frameworks for incorporating symptom weighting in the classification of full‐threshold and subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder

Abstract Individuals with subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often experience significant impairment yet face barriers to care (e.g., insurance denials and exclusion from clinical trials) due to strict Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM )–b...
