Whereas prior literature has studied the positive effects of curiosity-evoking events that are integral to focal activities, we explore whether and how a curiosity-evoking event that is incidental to a focal activity induces negative outcomes for enjoyment. Four experiments and 1 field study demonstrate that curiosity about an event that is incidental to an activity in which individuals are eng...

The increased use of axial imaging in various fields of medicine has led to an increased frequency of incidental findings, specifically incidental cancer lesions. Hence, as the use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for prostate cancer detection, staging, and management becomes more widespread, the potential for additional incidental findings in the pelvis increases. Herein,...

BACKGROUND The clinicopathological characteristics and conclusive treatment modality for multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (mPTMC) have not been fully established. METHODS A retrospective study, systematic review, and meta-analysis were conducted to elucidate the clinicopathological significance of mPTMC. We investigated the multiplicity of 383 classical papillary thyroid microcarci...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The diagnostic accuracy for unruptured intracranial aneurysms has increased, and incidental asymptomatic aneurysms have come to represent a substantial clinical burden because of their controversial natural history. However, their prevalence may be attributable to variations in evaluation methods and demographics. We therefore describe the prevalence and magnetic resonanc...

Incidental appendectomy has always been a matter of debate as to whether it should be performed or not. The morbidity and mortality the procedure is low, allows histological examination detect any abnormal pathology. introduction laparoscopic surgery also made surgeons question if incidental We have conducted this narrative review article look at current indications, patients’ demographics, typ...

the study aimed at investigating whether the retention of vocabulary acquired incidentally is dependent upon the amount of task-induced involvement. immediate and delayed retention of twenty unfamiliar words was examined in three learning tasks( listening comprehension + group discussion, listening comprehension + dictionary checking + summary writing in l1, and listening comprehension + dictio...

During the course of routine neuroradiologic imaging evaluation, various abnormalities are occasionally identified that may be considered "incidental findings." The significance of these is not always clear, and additional evaluation may be necessary. This article presents a series of magnetic resonance (MR) images to illustrate a number of "incidental findings," describes possible significance...

WethankBrancato andProvenzano (1) for their comments on our article (2). They pointed out their previously published study (3) of continuous glucosemonitoring (CGM) in 31 islet autoantibody–negative children with incidental hyperglycemia, followed for 6–48 months for development of diabetes. Incidental hyperglycemia was defined as fasting or random, blood glucose$126 or $200 mg/dL, respectively...

Incidental 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake in the prostate is often experienced in clinical practice; however, it is difficult to determine whether incidental uptake is indicative of a malignancy or benign state based on the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). In the present study, we investigated the clinical significance of incidental prostate uptake by 18F-FDG positron emissi...
