SIU physician Dana Crosby, MD, MPH , has helped to craft new clinical guidelines for treating patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, a condition affecting an estimated 1 in 10 Americans. Crosby was a contributing author of the guide published in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation. The standardized instructions are the result of an extensive evidence-based review process involving leading U.S. otolaryngology (ENT) specialists. The journal’s guidelines model best practices for the surgical care of adults with long-term

Algorithmic basis of reward-based decisions in dynamic environment In probabilistic reward foraging task (Fig.1A) animals’ choices tend to reflect the previous rewards, in a way that biases animals’ future choices to options from which they recently received the rewards. In addition to the reward history effects, curiously animals choices also depend on the previous choices, phenomenon that is not easily explained by the current computational models (Fig.1B). We are formulating normative accounts of why choice history effects should persist in animals. The insight into this phenomenon may give

While new treatments have started to emerge in recent years, they slow the progression, rather than stopping or reversing the disease. Some risk factors — like age, genetics, and family history — are out of our control. But there are changes we can make today that can make a difference for tomorrow. By focusing on what is within our control, we can take meaningful steps to reduce our risk, preserve cognitive function and support long-term
