Our work contributes to the literature by showing that localizing common everyday objects in a circular space is not restricted to the use of cues intrinsic to the space. This is important because the majority of the empirical data on the category bias derives from locating targets that have little to no semantic information. The study objective was to assess the discussion of late effects (LEs) and screening recommendations (SRs) for adolescent and young adults (AYAs) treated for lymphoma. A retrospective study was conducted on AYA lymphoma survivors aged 15-24years at diagnosis who received radiation therapy (RT) ± chemotherapy between 1984 and 2010 at any of the six British Columbia (BC) Cancer treatment centers across the province. A769662 Charts were reviewed to evaluate discussion of LEs and SRs. Susceptibility to specific LEs was determined by reviewing treatment details. Of 305 patients, 212 (70%) had documented discussion of at least one specific LE, 39 (13%) had non-specific documentation only, and 54 (18%) had no documented discussion of LEs. Accounting only for patients susceptible to each LEs, the most frequently discussed LEs was radiation-induced (RI) neoplasm (42%), and the least frequently discussed LEs was carotid artery stenosis (0.4%). The most common SRs discussed in susceptible patients was for RI breast cancer (43%). Of patients discharged between 1985 and 1999 vs 2000 and 2014, LEs were discussed in 63 vs 93% (P < 0.0005), and SRs were discussed in 30 vs 65%, respectively (P < 0.0005). Older age at discharge, presence of a discharge note, and occurrence of a discharge appointment were associated with increased discussion of SRs. Most survivors of AYA lymphoma received some discussion of LEs and SRs, but each relevant LEs and SRs was discussed in only a minority of susceptible patients. Survivors of AYA lymphoma and their primary care professionals may not be appropriately informed of health risks and how to screen for them.

In the column 'Motilityimmune-related adverse event' of Table 2, the term 'Intestinal pseudo-obstruction' was inadvertently removed in the final version. Corrected Table 2 is given below.Ependymomas occurring in the upper cervical spinal cord (above the level of the C4 segment) are rare entities with great therapeutic challenges. This study was aimed to investigate the clinicoradiological characteristics and the prognosis in a large cohort of upper cervical ependymomas from a single institution. This retrospective study enrolled 155 patients with primary ependymomas in the upper cervical spinal cord. The pre- and post-operative clinical and magnetic resonance imaging profiles were collected. The neurological outcomes and survival events were evaluated, and potential independent risk factors were analyzed. There were 82 females and 73 males, with an average age of 43.1 ± 11.3 years. Immediately post-operatively, 118 (76.1%) patients experienced neurological deterioration and 32 (20.7%) patients remained unchanged. Three months after surgery, 61 (39.4%) patients showed deteriorated neurological functions compared to the pre-operative baseline levels. After an average follow-up period of 56.0 ± 24.7 months, the neurological functions were worse than the baseline status in 37 (23.9%) patients and improved in 33 (21.3%) patients, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified that lower age (≤ 42 years) and lower pre-operative MMS (I-II) were independent protective factors for predicting favorable neurological functions. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that incomplete resection was the only independent risk factor associated with a shorter progression-free survival. Age and pre-o
