Summary: The study shows that using virtual reality technology to assess patients' behavior in real-life situations is promising. Assessing situations that are often difficult or too dangerous in reality can help more accurately identify patients' performance. Virtual reality technology is expected to be an effective tool for assessing patients with unilateral spatial neglect.

Summary: Partially automated vehicle technology is becoming more common on roads, providing safety benefits but also raising concerns about driver attention. Driving in partially automated mode on highways can lead to vigilance decrements, as drivers are required to do very little and may experience cognitive underload. Research has identified factors contributing to vigilance decrements and highlighted the different methodologies for measuring driver vigilance during partially automated driving.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of AVs on the rutting distress of asphalt pavement by simulating changes in traffic volume and wheel track distribution. The results showed that increased AV traffic accelerated the occurrence of rutting distress, but a uniform distribution of vehicles at both ends of the transverse direction could prolong the maintenance life of the pavement. The study also found that speed, road roughness, and comfort had high accuracy in predicting the relationship models for AVs, and the arithmetic mean's height had the greatest influence on tire-road friction coefficient.

Summary: This study investigated the predictive validities of three different traffic psychological assessment systems in Turkey through systematic observation of driving behavior. The results showed that although the systems' power to predict on-road behavior was similar, the tests/abilities that contributed to the models differed in each system except for the reasoning test. Increasing the weight of these predictive tests was recommended for each system.

Summary: Traffic conflict analysis based on Surrogate Safety Measures (SSMs) helps estimate the risk level of an ego-vehicle interacting with other road users. However, risk assessment for autonomous vehicles (AVs) is still in its early stages due to the lack of direct applicability of current SSMs to autonomous driving styles. To address this, the study introduces the TTCmo metric, which considers the yaw angle of conflicting objects, enabling a better identification of potential risk events. Using 3D object detection data annotations and the TTCmo metric, the study finds that at least 8% of AV's interactions with detected objects pose a certain risk level, highlighting the importance of improved risk assessment methods for AVs.

Summary: This paper aimed to assess the magnitude of suspected unmeasured confounding due to driving mileage and simulate the statistical power required to detect a discrepancy in the effect of polypharmacy on road traffic crashes (RTCs) among older adults. Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) approach, we estimated the magnitude of confounding bias by driving mileage and the statistical power of detecting a discrepancy from no adjusted effect. The results showed that not adjusting for driving mileage as a confounder can lead to an overestimation of the effect of polypharmacy on RTCs in older adults, and small to moderate adjusted exposure effects were difficult to be detected even with a large sample.

Summary: A study found that cerebral small vessel disease is associated with the ratio of certain fatty acid metabolites, and this association has not been examined in stroke patients before. The study analyzed clinical and imaging data of stroke patients and found that the ratio of these fatty acid metabolites is related to small vessel stroke, white matter hyperintensities, and temporal lobe atrophy.

Summary: This study investigated the burden of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in patients with neurodegenerative diseases as a function of rare genetic variant carrier status. The NOTCH3/HTRA1 variants were found to significantly influence SVD neuroimaging outcomes, but the mechanisms and clinical implications are still unknown. Further studies are needed to develop genetic and imaging markers to enhance our understanding of their potential contribution to neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary: The wide availability of social media has greatly influenced human interactions and education in various settings. Users spend a significant amount of time on social media platforms each day, which reshape their perceptions, choices, and communication. The science behind social media lies in the activation of brain reward pathways, which explains the success of platforms like TikTok. Understanding users' interests, access patterns, and screen time is crucial in advancing medical education and stroke care. New strategies utilizing engaging learning technologies and social media platforms are needed to enhance educational content delivery and provide rewarding experiences.

Summary: The imaging modality used for selecting patients for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the late window varies among clinicians with different specialty training. In an international survey, interventionists were more likely to proceed directly to EVT and prefer less advanced imaging techniques compared to non-interventionists. When faced with uncertainty, non-interventionists were more likely to follow clinical guidelines, while interventionists relied more on their assessment of evidence.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are risk factors for cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), and their relationships with MRI-visible perivascular spaces (PVS) were investigated. T2DM patients had greater volumes of PVS in the white matter, and those with T2DM and hypertension had even greater volumes. Mediation models revealed indirect effects of T2DM on other SVD markers mediated by PVS in patients with hypertension. Understanding the regulation of cortical perivascular fluid dynamics may elucidate mechanisms linking T2DM to cerebral small vessel damage.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in primary and EVT-induced secondary medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO). The results showed that primary MeVO had poorer outcomes in terms of complications, EVT efficacy, and the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-2 at 3 months compared to exclusive large-vessel occlusion (LVO). However, EVT-induced secondary MeVO showed similar safety and efficacy outcomes as exclusive LVO and had better outcomes in terms of mRS 0-2 compared to primary MeVO.

The study found that rural counties had significantly longer travel distances and times compared to urban counties. Counties with high and medium stroke prevalence also had higher travel times and distances compared to low stroke prevalence counties. Therefore, addressing transportation barriers and implementing tele-rehabilitation are crucial for improving access to stroke aftercare in these areas.

The results showed that serum ALP levels in ICH patients were significantly elevated and correlated with hematoma volume and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. High serum ALP levels may serve as a potential predictor for the severity and unfavorable prognosis of ICH.
