Summary: This study investigated the association between dietary factors and incident myopia in Chinese children aged 10-11 years. It found that participants with the highest adherence to dietary pattern A and dietary pattern C had a lower risk of myopia. These dietary patterns were characterized by high consumption of meats, aquatic product, dairy and its products, eggs, legumes, vegetables, fruits, grains, and potatoes.

Summary: Aging is associated with decreased cerebrovascular reactivity, measured by changes in BOLD response to visual stimulation. The BOLD amplitude appears to be a reliable measurement in healthy adults and presymptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers, but not in symptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers.

Summary: This study assessed the test-retest reliability of functional connectivity in different field strengths by scanning subjects at 3T and 7T. Results showed that the reliability of intrinsic networks was significantly greater at 7T compared to 3T, with the greatest improvement seen in intra-network reliability. The findings support the trend of migrating functional imaging studies to ultrahigh field strengths.

Summary: The study aimed to quantitatively evaluate source localization methods under real situations. Using EEG data from 16 subjects performing face recognition tasks, the source signals were reconstructed and evaluated by five mainstream methods. The results showed promising peak localization reliability and good to excellent test-retest reliability of source amplitude. These findings provide new evidence for the validity of source localization analysis and a new perspective for the evaluation of source localization methods on real EEG data.

Summary: This study investigated the factors influencing the test-retest reproducibility of GABA measured with edited MRS. The results showed that model selection, spline baseline knot spacing, and editing pulse duration affected the test-retest reproducibility of GABA. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate parameters and models for clinical studies.

Summary: This article discusses the issue of reliability in neuroimaging studies using the test-retest method, highlighting the risk of low reliability in common cognitive tasks. It proposes a hierarchical framework to evaluate reliability, suggesting that traditional intraclass correlation statistics may underestimate reliability and more trials are needed for accurate reliability estimates.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the test-retest reproducibility and smallest real differences in the dynamic balance tests of chronic stroke survivors. The results showed high reliability and small measurement error for the tests, indicating that they can be useful tools for clinicians to assess changes in dynamic balance over time in the rehabilitation of chronic stroke survivors.

Summary: The study evaluated Polish children's knowledge and practices in personal hygiene, food preparation, storage, and microbiology. Results showed that children had incomplete knowledge and often engaged in inappropriate food hygiene practices. While they scored well in personal hygiene, there were issues with food preparation, storage, and knowledge of microbes. The study is valuable for preventing food poisoning and can inspire improvements in hygienic practices among young children in countries with high rates of food poisoning.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, with increasing incidence and mortality rates each year. Genetic and environmental factors, as well as lifestyle choices, play a significant role in its development. Studying the epidemiology and diagnosis of colorectal cancer is crucial for informing future strategies in disease prevention and control.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of socioeconomic, eating- and health-related limitations on food consumption among Polish women aged 60 and above. The findings revealed that lower socioeconomic status and multiple limitations related to eating habits and health were associated with insufficient food consumption. This poses a threat to the nutritional and health status of older women.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary fat intake (>32%) may increase the risk of peri- and postmenopausal breast cancer in women. Unhealthy dietary patterns characterized by the consumption of highly processed, high in sugar foods and animal fat foods were positively associated with fat intake, while a pro-healthy diet rich in low-processed plant foods, fish, and moderate consumption of low-fat dairy was inversely associated with fat intake.
