TL;DR: Diverse approaches suggest a distributed model in which plasticity occurs at multiple sites in the cortical circuit with multiple cellular/synaptic mechanisms and multiple likely learning rules for plasticity.
Abstract: Sensory maps in neocortex are adaptively altered to reflect recent experience and learning In somatosensory cortex, distinct patterns of sensory use or disuse elicit multiple, functionally distinct forms of map plasticity Diverse approaches-genetics, synaptic and in vivo physiology, optical imaging, and ultrastructural analysis-suggest a distributed model in which plasticity occurs at multiple sites in the cortical circuit with multiple cellular/synaptic mechanisms and multiple likely learning rules for plasticity This view contrasts with the classical model in which the map plasticity reflects a single Hebbian process acting at a small set of cortical synapses

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary group of 63 experts from 24 countries developed evidence-based guidelines on the management of patients with precancerous conditions and lesions of the stomach by means of repeat online voting and a meeting in June 2011 in Porto, Portugal.
Abstract: Atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and epithelial dysplasia of the stomach are common and are associated with an increased risk for gastric cancer. In the absence of guidelines, there is wide disparity in the management of patients with these premalignant conditions. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), the European Helicobacter Study Group (EHSG), the European Society of Pathology (ESP) and the Sociedade Portuguesa de Endoscopia Digestiva (SPED) have therefore combined efforts to develop evidence-based guidelines on the management of patients with precancerous conditions and lesions of the stomach (termed MAPS). A multidisciplinary group of 63 experts from 24 countries developed these recommendations by means of repeat online voting and a meeting in June 2011 in Porto, Portugal. The recommendations emphasize the increased cancer risk in patients with gastric atrophy and metaplasia, and the need for adequate staging in the case of high grade dysplasia, and they focus on treatment and surveillance indications and methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, a parameter-free elicitation of prospect theory's utility function on the whole domain is proposed to measure loss aversion in an experimental study without making any parametric assumptions.
Abstract: textA growing body of qualitative evidence shows that loss aversion, a phenomenon formalized in prospect theory, can explain a variety of field and experimental data. Quantifications of loss aversion are, however, hindered by the absence of a general preference-based method to elicit the utility for gains and losses simultaneously. This paper proposes such a method and uses it to measure loss aversion in an experimental study without making any parametric assumptions. Thus, it is the first to obtain a parameter-free elicitation of prospect theory's utility function on the whole domain. Our method also provides an efficient way to elicit utility midpoints, which are important in axiomatizations of utility. Several definitions of loss aversion have been put forward in the literature. According to most definitions we find strong evidence of loss aversion, at both the aggregate and the individual level. The degree of loss aversion varies with the definition used, which underlines the need for a commonly accepted definition of loss aversion.

TL;DR: This multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial compared a 6 week course of oral prednisolone tapering from 60 mg to 10 mg daily with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) 2.0 g/kg given over 1 to 2 days for treating chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
Abstract: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, crossover trial compared a six week course of oral prednisolone tapering from 60 mg to 10 mg daily with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) 2.0 g/kg given over one to two days for treating chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Twenty-four of the thirty-two randomized patients completed both treatment periods. Both treatments produced significant improvements in the primary outcome measure, change in an 11-point disability scale two weeks after randomization. There was slightly, but not significantly, more improvement after IVIg than with prednisolone, the mean difference between the groups in change in disability grade being 0.16 (95% CI = -0.35 to 0.66). There were also slightly, but not significantly, greater improvements favoring IVIg in the secondary outcome measures: time to walk 10 meters after two weeks and improvement in disability grade after six weeks. Results may have been biased against IVIg by the eight patients who did not complete the second arm of the trial. A serious adverse event (psychosis) attributable to treatment occurred in one patient while on prednisolone and in none with IVIg.
