Patient-physician agreement on function and pain is associated with long-term outcomes in sarcoma: findings from a longitudinal study by Košir, U, van de Wal, D, Husson, O, Zablith, N, Turcotte, RE

“…Conclusions: Our study offers novel insights into the importance of patient-physician agreement and communication’s role in long-term patient-reported outcomes in sarcoma. Implications for Cancer Survivors: The results emphasize the importance of mutual understanding of symptoms and patients’ needs and suggest that further consultation in cases of discordance of ratings and opinions might be beneficial for optimal survivorship.…”

Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”
