Tracheal hypoplasia is a congenital abnormality associated with brachycephalic airway syndrome, resulting in a generalized decrease in tracheal lumen diameter (TLD). Radiographic techniques to assess tracheal narrowing have been described; however, comparisons of tracheal diameter among breeds of bulldogs have not been…

Syntactic language change has gained increasing attention in recent years. Previous computational work based on dependency relations has focused on diachronic trends in dependency distance, which measures the linear distance between dependent words, using dependency trees automatically predicted by a dependency parser…

Grounded in frameworks of decoloniality and transnationalism, this study examines how organizational behaviors in education-particularly in teacher preparation-can shift to more inclusively serve transnational youth, challenging Eurocentric, nation-bound assumptions about pedagogy, belonging, and professional developme…

BACKGROUND: Transplantation is the final step in a multi-stage process where effective communication is essential for optimal postoperative outcomes. Language discordance may provide many challenges through this process. METHODS: We compared patient/graft survival, rejection, readmission, and length of hospitalization…

We investigated aspects of language and cognitive development in three bimodal bilingual deaf children in hearing families. Some previous research finds cognitive delays for deaf children, which may be due to an early lack of access to language input. Studies of children having strong early language access through pare…

However, recent studies suggest that when matched in frequency, length, and predictability, such differences disappear. Two studies in English still indicate a special status of the article 'th…

Developmental dyslexia is characterized by reading and writing deficits that persist into adulthood.

The present study aims to investigate how 18 native Spanish-speaking adults with developmental dyslexia perform dif…

Language is a fundamental aspect of human culture that influences cognitive and perceptual processes. Prior evidence demonstrates personality self-report can vary across multilingual persons' language contexts.

There is evidence suggesting that bilingual individuals demonstrate an advantage over monolinguals in performing various tasks related to memory and executive functions. The characteristics of this bilingual advantage are not unanimously agreed upon in the literature, and some even doubt it exists. The heterogeneity of…

The Alternative Model for Personality Disorders provides a dimensional framework for the conceptualization of personality disorders where Criterion A concerns the assessment of one's level of personality functioning (LPF). This study examines the psychometric properties of the English translation of the Semi-Structured…

INTRODUCTION: Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in our social interactions and overall well-being. The present cross-sectional study aimed to develop and validate Emotion Laden Sentences Toolbox for Emotion Recognition (ELSTER), that utilizes emotion-laden sentences as stimuli to assess individuals' ability to p…

AIMS: The central concept of informed consent is communication of the chance of a successful outcome. The risks and benefits are probabilistic concepts derived from populations; they do not map with any certainty to the individual. We tested patients' comprehension of basic probability concepts that are needed for info…
