Abstract Appropriately adjusting to errors is essential for adaptive behavior. Post‐error slowing (PES) refers to the increased reaction times on trials following incorrect relative to correct responses. PES has been used as a metric of cognitive control in basic cognitive neuroscience research as well as clinical contexts. However, calculation of PES varies widely among studies and has not yet been standardized, despite recent calls to optimize its measurement. Here, using behavioral and electrophysiological...

Background and Objectives Biofilms cause more than 80% of infections in humans, including more than 90% of all chronic wound infections and are extremely resistant to antimicrobials and the immune system. The situation is exacerbated by the fast spreading of antimicrobial resistance, which has become one of the biggest threats to current public health. There is consequently a critical need for the development of alternative therapeutics. Antimicrobial blue light (aBL) is a light‐based approach that...

Background and Objectives The ability to provide improved tattoo fading using multiple laser passes in a single office laser tattoo removal session is limited. In part, this is due to the loss of laser effectiveness caused by epidermal and dermal vacuole “whitening” generated during the initial laser pass at the tattoo site. The Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) device generates acoustic shock wave pulses that clear epidermal and dermal vacuoles to enable multiple laser passes in a single office laser...

To the Editor We read with interest the article by Nickel et al. The results of the study indicated that patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treated by hemithyroidectomy enjoyed better quality of survival and fewer complications than those by total thyroidectomy. The authors recommended that hemithyroidectomy might be a more appropriate surgical therapy for small, localized DCT.

In Reply We appreciate Dr Chow’s interest in our study. We agree that having a central lymph node dissection might affect patients’ reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In our cohort, 29% of those who had a total thyroidectomy had concurrent central lymph node dissection. We have now further explored whether this affected the association between thyroidectomy and HRQOL in 2 ways. First, we included this as a variable in our multivariable analyses. Compared with having a hemithyroidectomy,...

In Reply We read with great interest the letter in response to our systematic review on the clinical benefit of imaging in children with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (USNHL) by Muzzi et al. We thank the authors for pointing out the association between recurrent meningitis and inner ear malformations (IEMs). We fully agree that in children with meningitis and congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from IEM should be excluded by otoscopy and imaging.
