Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California The study of how damage to the brain affects cognitive functioning has historically been one of the most important tools for cognitive neuroscience. While the brain is one of the most well protected parts of the body, there are many events that can affect the functioning of the brain. Vascular issues, tumors, degenerative diseases, infections, blunt force traumas, and neurosurgery are just some of the...

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University Reaching for objects, walking without hitting obstacles, landing on a chair as you sit (instead of falling to the floor), these and all our physical actions depend on an ability to perceive our own bodies in space, to know where our limbs are relative to one another and relative to the rest of the world. One way that the human brain encodes this information is called proprioception, the brain relies on its own control and feedback...

Stock Split

2025
A stock split is a corporate action aimed at increasing the number of a company's shares by dividing its existing shares into multiple new ones. This adjustment reduces the per-share price without altering the company's overall market capitalization, thereby making shares more affordable to investors and enhancing trading flexibility. Stock splits are often employed by companies whose stock prices have risen significantly, making their shares less accessible to retail investors. Lowering the...

This video demonstrates how to maintain the growth of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in feeder cell-free conditions and how to continuously passage hESCs in feeder cell-free conditions. Confirmation of hESC pluripotency grown in feeder cell-free conditions by immunofluorescence microscopy is also demonstrated. Part 2 of 3.
FAQs
Severity is described through several anatomical features rather than a single observation. The assessment considers the cleft’s relative width, the number of affected rays, their degree of development, and the structure that remains in the hand. Considering these features together gives clinicians a more consistent account of variation among individual cases.
The number and development of affected rays provide important detail about the extent and pattern of the hand abnormality. Two patients may have a central cleft but differ in how many adjacent digits are absent or underdeveloped. Recording these differences makes the clinical description more specific and supports meaningful comparison of deformity patterns.
Physical examination and imaging supply complementary information for the assessment. Examination allows clinicians to document the observable hand structure and functional findings, while imaging contributes to evaluation of the underlying anatomical arrangement. Using both sources helps characterize the cleft, affected rays, and remaining structures when the deformity is classified.
A consistent index provides a shared framework for describing anatomical findings that can vary substantially between patients. By recording comparable features, such as cleft width, affected rays, and remaining hand structure, clinicians can communicate differences more clearly. This consistency supports comparison across cases without relying only on subjective narrative descriptions.
The index organizes anatomical and functional findings that are relevant when clinicians consider reconstructive treatment. Documenting the cleft, affected rays, and remaining hand structure helps communicate the deformity before a procedure is planned. In congenital hand surgery, this structured information can connect the clinical assessment with treatment planning and later evaluation.
After reconstructive procedures, the index can support structured monitoring of the hand’s anatomical and functional findings. Comparing assessments over time helps clinicians evaluate changes in the deformity and document outcomes in a consistent manner. Its value is especially relevant when follow-up requires clear communication about treatment results in congenital hand surgery.
