conclusions small size, smooth lesion border and homogeneity favor benign nature of the incidental splenic lesions, while restricted diffusion might be a feature of malignancy. follow-up imaging might be helpful in a subset of patients to discriminate benign and malignant incidental splenic lesions. methods this retrospective study was performed in a tertiary referral center. data of patients w...

BACKGROUND Relative to intentional memory encoding, which quickly declines in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), incidental memory for emotional stimuli appears to deteriorate more slowly. We hypothesised that tests of incidental emotional memory may inform on different aspects of cognitive decline in MCI and AD. METHODS Patients with MCI, AD and Healthy Controls (H...

BACKGROUND Basal encephaloceles are rare clinical entities. Intrasphenoidal encephalocele (ISE) is a rare form of basal encephalocele. The clinical presentation is often subtle and may remain undetected. Only a limited number of cases of ISE have been reported, mostly in middle-aged patients who presented with symptoms. Clinical diagnosis and management remain a challenge. Our case reports ISE ...

The approach to incidental research findings in children emerges by considering the child-parent relationship and balancing divergent interests and preferences. Incidental findings with clear and proximate clinical importance should be disclosed to both. We recommend that particularly sensitive or private information (e.g., pregnancy or drug use) should be disclosed to the adolescent first, whi...

This paper studies panel quantile regression models with endogeneity and additive fixed effects. We focus on static panel model where regressors and instruments are not predetermined. The fixed effect approach causes an incidental parameter bias in the estimates of the parameters of interest, and we characterize this bias under an asymptotic where both panel dimensions become large. We encounte...

In modern clinical practice, thyroid incidentaloma is an unpalpated node in the gland, which detected accidentally by technical means of imaging when examining a patient for other, non-thyroid diseases. Its dimensions are limited to 10mm, limit above it can already be palpated qualified professional. author’s view, such definition narrows concept incidentaloma, primarily from nosological point ...
