Sleep enhances a spatially mediated generalization of learned values
Sleep is thought to play an important role in memory consolidation. Here we tested whether sleep alters the subjective value associated with objects located in spatial clusters that were navigated to in a large-scale virtual town. We found that sleep enhances a generalization of the value of high-value objects to the value of locally clustered objects, resulting in an impaired memory for the value of high-valued objects. Our results are consistent with (a) spatial context helping to bind items together in long-term memory and serve as a basis for generalizing across memories and (b) sleep mediating memory effects on salient/reward-related items

Case Report - Disseminated cutaneous rhinosporidiomas in an immunocompetent male
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic recurrent infective granulomatous disease
of man and animals. It is endemic in India and Sri Lanka.
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic disease commonly involving the nose and
nasopharynx. Cutaneous lesions, although rare, can occur due to
autoinoculation or due to hematogenous spread. However, disseminated
cutaneous lesions presenting as tumor-like swellings are rare. We
report here a 48-year-old immunocompetent patient who had disseminated
painless cutaneous tumor-like swellings over both the upper limbs,
abdomen, left buttock and calf since 10 months, gradually increasing in
size. On inquiring, the patient gave history of excisions and
electrocauterization of subglottic and nasal polyps. Histopathological
examination of these lesions was suggestive of rhinosporidiosis. The
general and systemic examinations of the patient did not reveal any
abnormality
Progressive systemic sclerosis in childhood: A report of three cases
Systemic sclerosis is unusual in childhood. We describe three children who presented with diffuse hidebound skin associated with gastrointestinal and pulmonary abnormalities. Cardiac and renal dysfunctions, which are often encountered in these patients, were notably absent in our cases
