BACKGROUND Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other externalizing psychopathologies tend to display poor behavioral performance on the go/no-go task, which is thought to reflect deficits in inhibitory control. However, clinical neuroimaging studies using this task have yielded conflicting results, raising basic questions about what the task measures and which aspects of the task relate to clinical outcomes. We used computational modeling to provide a clearer understanding of how neural activations from this task relate to the cognitive mechanisms that underlie performance and to probe the implications of these relationships for clinical research. METHODS A total of 143 young adults (8-21 years of age) performed the go/no-go task during functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning. We used the diffusion decision model (DDM), a cognitive modeling approach, to quantify distinct neurocognitive processes that underlie go/no-go performance. We then assessed correlations between DDM parameters and brain activation from standard go/no-go contrasts and assessed relationships of DDM parameters and associated neural measures with clinical ratings. RESULTS Right-lateralized prefrontal activations on correct inhibition trials, which are generally assumed to isolate neural processes involved in inhibition, were unrelated to DDM parameters (and other performance indices). However, responses to failed inhibitions in brain regions associated with error monitoring were strongly related to more efficient task performance and correlated with externalizing behavior and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Our findings cast doubt on conventional interpretations of go/no-go task-related activations as reflecting the neural basis of inhibitory functioning. https://www.selleckchem.com/GSK-3.html We instead found evidence that error-related contrasts provide clinically relevant information about neural systems involved in monitoring and optimizing the efficiency of cognitive performance. BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED) after radical prostatectomy (RP) still represents a major issue. Considering the benefits recently described regarding the application of low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LiESWT) in vasculogenic ED, questions arise about its role in the scenario of penile rehabilitation. AIM To compare the early introduction of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) with a combination therapy enrolling both early PDE5i use and LiESWT in patients submitted to RP. METHODS This study is a randomized clinical trial, open-label, with 2 parallel arms and an allocation ratio of 11. The study was registered in ReBEC (ensaiosclinicos.gov.br) Trial RBR-85HGCG. Both arms started tadalafil at a dose of 5 mg/day right after the removal of the transurethral catheter, and the experimental group received 2,400 shocks/session-week distributed on 4 different penile regions. The full treatment consisted of 19,200 impulses across 8 weeks. OUTCOMES The primary clincal end point was ≥4-point diffeg the role of LiESWT on erectile function after RP. Our study protocol included only one session per week for the experimental group, raising a query if a more intensive application could achieve better results once a statistically significant difference was found between groups. We discontinue the PDE5i use at the last session, which may have interfered in the penile vascular rehabilitation, maybe compromising the results too. CONCLUSION After therapy with 19,200 impulses therapy across 8 weeks, we found an improvement of the IIEF-5 score, but it was not enough to be considered clinically significant. More studies are warranted before any recommendation on this topic. Baccaglini W, Pazeto CL, Corrêa Barros EA, et al.

INTRODUCTION The standard recommended treatment for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is clean intermittent catheterization combined with an antimuscarinic agent. However, the adverse systemic side-effects of oxybutynin, the most widely used agent, are of concern. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of solifenacin in pediatric patients with NDO, aged 6 months-15 cmH2O), maximum catheterized volume (MCV)/24 h, and incontinence episodes/24 h. Safety parameters were treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events, laboratory variables, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and ocular accommodation and cognitive function assessments. RESULTS After 24 weeks, MCC had significantly increased compared with baseline in patients aged 6 months - less then 5 years and 5- less then 18 years (37.0 ml and 57.2 ml, respectively; P  less then  0.001; Fig.). Improvement was also observed after 52 weeks' treatment. Significant changes were observed from baseline to week 24 in all secondary endpoints cts, and facial flushing. CONCLUSION Solifenacin was effective and well tolerated in pediatric patients with NDO, aged 6 months- less then 18 years, suggesting that it is a viable alternative to oxybutynin, the current standard of care. STUDIES ARE REGISTERED AT CLINICALTRIALS.GOV NCT01981954 and NCT01565694. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the non-invasive continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and perfusion. Cerebral regional oxygen (crSO2) measured via NIRS represents a mixed tissue saturation value, thus enabling information on the balance of cerebral oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption. Cerebral oxygenation is influenced by pulse oximeter saturation (SpO2), hemoglobin content, and cerebral blood flow. Furthermore, cerebral oxygenation is dependent on metabolic parameters, cardio circulatory parameters, perinatal- and postnatal interventions. Reference ranges for healthy term born and late preterm infants have already been published. It is feasible to increase crSO2 values above the 10th percentile by guiding medical support during neonatal to fetal transition. Guiding oxygen supply based on NIRS monitoring in addition to SpO2 monitoring showed that a reduction of the burden of cerebral hypoxia was possible. A currently ongoing study will give further information whether additional NIRS monitoring guiding medical support during neonatal to fetal transition is effective in improving neonatal outcome.
