Summary: The neuropsychological functions in OCD have been extensively researched, with inconsistent findings and failed attempts to identify moderators explaining the variability in cognitive performance. Despite efforts to consider typical factors, there are still potential factors such as motivational aspects and metacognitive factors that have been neglected in previous research. Further exploration of these factors may help advance understanding of cognitive functions in OCD.

Summary: This review discusses the factors influencing the development of polymer flooding technology and presents insights into the dominance of HPAM as the main polymer used. It also highlights the requirements for alternative polymers and mobility-control methods to be viable. The paper explains the need for large polymer banks in polymer flooding and provides details on designing the injected polymer viscosity in different scenarios. Additionally, the role of fractures and horizontal wells in improving injectivity and extending the applicability of polymer flooding to high-viscosity oils is discussed. The review also describes operational improvements to enhance the stability of HPAM and ATBS polymers at elevated temperatures and summarizes key factors affecting polymer retention. The paper concludes by pointing out unresolved issues and future directions in the field of polymer flooding.

Summary: The evolution of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has shifted towards therapeutic procedures, but lack of formal training and data on outcomes are obstacles to the field's growth. Better tools, data on safety/outcomes, and support from Gastrointestinal Societies are needed for widespread adoption of these novel interventions. Continued effort from societies and manufacturers to provide training, equipment, and policies to motivate endoscopists is essential for the field of interventional EUS to expand.
