The search for extraterrestrial intelligence - podcast
The most intensive ever search for alien lifeThis week it was revealed that astronomers are about to start the most intensive ever search for alien life. The Breakthrough Listen project will scan stars in 100 galaxies for radio and optical signatures that indicate someone, or something, is out there.Until now, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence - or SETI - has been met with an eerie silence. What makes scientists so convinced it's worthwhile looking for alien life? Continue reading...

Gorlin syndrome in the paediatric age.
CONCLUSIONS. In GS there is an increase in the likelihood of developing basal cell carcinomas and strict dermatological monitoring is necessary. A clinical neurological follow-up and also magnetic resonance imaging scans are needed for an early diagnosis of intracranial tumours, especially in the case of medulloblastomas. Odontogenic keratocysts, other skin disorders, and cardiac and ovarian fibromas are characteristic, as are skeletal abnormalities, which require regular clinical and neuroimaging controls and treatment if needed, but radiation must be avoided. GS is a rare disorder, but it must be suspected in the presenc...

A case of gorlin-goltz syndrome presented with psychiatric features.
We report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented with an acute onset of pleomorphic psychiatric features. Upon examination we later diagnosed him with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome based on clinical and radiological findings that are characteristic for this rare autosomal dominant syndrome. His psychiatric manifestations included irritability, aggressive behavior, labile mood, hallucinations, paranoid delusions, and transient cognitive impairment. His past history indicated surgical excision of pigmented lesion in the left lower eyelid which turned out to be a basal cell carcinoma. His past visits to dermatology clinics indica...

The Early History of Odontogenic Ghost Cell Lesions: From Thoma to Gorlin
Abstract
To reappraise the early history of odontogenic ghost cell lesions (OGCL), the extensive world literature published from 1838 to 1962 was reviewed. In light of the long history of OGCL, the term “calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe” first appeared in a 1931 French report, and the term “ghost cells” had its origin in two American seminal articles by Thoma and Goldman in 1946. Although Gorlin et al. coined the term “calcifying odontogenic cyst” (COC) in 1962, this type of cyst was initially reported three decades earlier by Rywkind in Russia, and almost concurrently by Blood good in the United St...

Gorlin Goltz syndrome: A case report
Publication date: Available online 26 February 2015 Source:International Journal of Dental Science and Research Author(s): Mahesh Chander , Madan Mishra , Amit Gaur , Tasveer Fatima , Shubhamoy Mondal , Shishir Dhar Not many cases have been reported in India, and hence we report here a rare case of Gorlin Goltz syndrome (GGS) especially in young patients without any skin lesions. A 21 year old male reported to our department, with swelling in the lower posterior region of the right side of jaw since last 2 years. Thorough extraoral and intraoral examinations along with orthopantomogram (OPG), CT scan (skull) and chest ra...

Electronic patient identification for sample labeling reduces wrong blood in tube errors.
CONCLUSION: In this study, using electronic patient identification at the time of pretransfusion sample collection was associated with approximately fivefold fewer WBIT errors compared with using manual patient identification. WBIT rates were high among mislabeled (rejected) samples, confirming that rejecting samples with even minor labeling errors helps mitigate the risk of ABO-incompatible transfusions.

The relationship between the subjective experience of real-world cognitive failures and objective target-detection performance in visual search
Cognition. 2021 Sep 27;217:104914. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104914. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVisual search is a common occurrence in everyday life, such as searching for the location of keys, identifying a friend in a crowd, or scanning an upcoming intersection for hazards while driving. Visual search is also used in professional contexts, such as medical diagnostic imaging and airport baggage screening. These contexts are often characterised by low-prevalence or rare targets. Here we tested whether individual differences in the detection of targets in visual search could be predicted from variables derived from ...

Pseudoneglect during object search in naturalistic scenes
Exp Brain Res. 2023 Aug 23. doi: 10.1007/s00221-023-06679-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPseudoneglect, that is the tendency to pay more attention to the left side of space, is typically assessed with paper-and-pencil tasks, particularly line bisection. In the present study, we used an everyday task with more complex stimuli. Subjects' task was to look for pre-specified objects in images of real-world scenes. In half of the scenes, the search object was located on the left side of the image (L-target); in the other half of the scenes, the target was on the right side (R-target). To control for left-right differences in t...

5 Unconventional Google Search Tips for Power Searching
If you Google [google search tips], you're bound to find plenty of articles that explain several ways you can improve your search techniques.They may even entice you with the promise of turning you into a Google power searcher.The problem with most of these articles is that most of the tips they offer are copied straight from Google's Inside Search blog or any number of Google for Dummies-type books.Now I'm not saying that those articles don't serve a purpose.There's always novice internet users out there who don't know about Inside Search or who don't want to take the time to wade through an entire book. There's also expe...
