    Abstract Previous research has investigated how the context of perception affects emotional response. This study investigated how engagement with perceived fictional content vs perceived everyday-life content affects the way people experience negative emotions. Four studies with an experimental design tested how engagement with perceived fictional content vs perceived everyday life content affects the intensity of negative emotional response to negative emotional content, the motivation to decrease negative emotions, and cognitive reappraisal. Participants were presented with negatively valenced images and were asked to imagine either that they were witnessing them, or that a bystander was witnessing them, or that they were viewing a movie including these scenes. After the manipulation, all participants observed a different set of negatively valenced images or a set of negatively valenced videos and reported their emotional response. We found that the intensity of negative emotions and motivation to decrease them was lower among participants in the fiction condition compared to participants in the everyday life condition. Although perspective-taking had a similar effect on negative emotions, fiction condition was more successful in decreasing negative emotions. This might indicate that fiction plays a buffering role in decreasing the negative emotions people experience when facing negative emotional content.

    Abstract The United States population is living longer and healthier than ever. This enables our communities-and our society-to continue to benefit from our knowledge, experience, and energy as we age. The public health system is foundational for increasing life expectancy, and now it has the opportunity to further support older adult health and well-being. Trust for America's Health (TFAH), in partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation, launched the age-friendly public health systems initiative in 2017 with the goal of raising awareness within the public health sector of its many potential roles in healthy aging. TFAH has worked with state and local departments of health to build capacity and expertise in older adult health and has provided guidance and technical assistance to expand this work across the U.S. TFAH now envisions a public health system that has healthy aging as a core function. This paper aims to describe why the public health sector should adopt healthy aging policies and practices, how this is being operationalized at the state and local levels, and the value of age-friendly public health systems within the age-friendly ecosystem.

    Abstract Introduction: Vertical Orbital Dystopia (VOD) results in significant facial asymmetry, psychological distress, and poor quality of life in affected patients. The traditional approach (TA) for surgical correction has entailed a standard frontal craniotomy along with circumferential orbital osteotomy, vertical translocation of the orbit, and bone grafting to the lower maxilla. Caution has been expressed regarding its invasive transcranial nature. In this report, we describe the limited approach (LA) for simplified surgical correction of VOD, which obviates the need for a standard frontal craniotomy.
    Methods: A 45-year retrospective review was conducted of all patients that underwent surgical correction of VOD, as performed by a single surgeon. Demographic details, procedural characteristics, and complications were compared between patients who were corrected by the TA and those who were corrected by the LA. Complications were defined as CSF leak, infection of the frontal bone, permanent diplopia, permanent ptosis, sudden-onset vision loss, persistent asymmetry, and surgical revision.
    Results: Forty patients met inclusion criteria for correction of true VOD, of which 18 underwent the TA and 22 underwent the LA. Mean length of hospital stay was 5.3±2.3 days and 4.0±1.5 days for the TA and LA cohorts, respectively. Mean follow-up time was 4.9±7.5 years for the TA and 2.6±3.3 years for the LA. The only reported complications were persistent asymmetry in 2 patients in the TA cohort with one patient requiring surgical revision due to undercorrection, while the LA cohort exhibited no postoperative asymmetry or need for surgical revision.
    Conclusions: Both the TA and LA are effective for surgical correction of VOD. The limited craniotomy of the LA reduces exposure of intracranial structures and adequately achieves postoperative symmetry.

    Abstract In any visual search task in the lab or in the world, observers will make errors. Those errors can be categorized as "deterministic": If you miss this target in this display once, you will definitely miss it again. Alternatively, errors can be "stochastic", occurring randomly with some probability from trial to trial. Researchers and practitioners have sought to reduce errors in visual search, but different types of errors might require different techniques for mitigation. To empirically categorize errors in a simple search task, our observers searched for the letter "T" among "L" distractors, with each display presented twice. When the letters were clearly visible (white letters on a gray background), the errors were almost completely stochastic (Exp 1). An error made on the first appearance of a display did not predict that an error would be made on the second appearance. When the visibility of the letters was manipulated (letters of different gray levels on a noisy background), the errors became a mix of stochastic and deterministic. Unsurprisingly, lower contrast targets produced more deterministic errors. (Exp 2). Using the stimuli of Exp 2, we tested whether errors could be reduced using cues that guided attention around the display but knew nothing about the content of that display (Exp3a, b). This had no effect, but cueing all item locations did succeed in reducing deterministic errors (Exp3c).
