Summary: The study found that intravenous ketamine can significantly improve cognitive function in TRD patients, especially in tests like DSST and PDQ-5-D. This improvement is mainly mediated by reduced depressive symptoms, indicating that ketamine has independent and rapid effects in promoting cognition.

Summary: Greater intake of whole grains is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, but the evidence regarding its effects on cognition is inconclusive. Limited evidence suggests that higher whole-grain intake is linked to better mood and anxiety-related scores. However, more well-designed studies are needed to further investigate the relationship between whole-grain intake and cognitive outcomes.

Summary: This study compares whole brain functional network connectivity during jazz music improvisation with a baseline of prelearned score performances. The findings suggest that improvisation is associated with weak connectivity, which allows for a feeling of flow and unhindered musical creation. In addition, connectivity for sensorimotor and executive control networks remains consistent whether musicians imagine or externalize the music through vocalization.

Summary: The study evaluated a dance intervention called Dual-Assisted Dance Rehabilitation (DARE) in individuals with severe TBI, showing high acceptability and adherence. The treatment effects were mainly seen in self-reported depression, executive deficits, trunk movement control, and cognitive functioning. More research is needed to assess the efficacy of dance-based rehabilitation in severe TBI through larger clinical trials.

Summary: Muscle-derived signaling proteins, known as myokines, play a crucial role in regulating brain functions including learning, memory, and mood. Impaired skeletal muscle homeostasis can impact brain metabolism and physiology, highlighting the essential role of muscle-borne signals in brain health. Understanding the complex interactions between skeletal muscle and brain may lead to more effective therapeutic strategies for extending healthspan and preventing brain disease.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of low and moderate doses of coffeeberry extract on cognition and mood. The results showed that 100 mg of coffeeberry extract resulted in increased mental fatigue and decreased accuracy on a task of sustained attention. However, no significant effects were found with 300 mg of coffeeberry extract. Therefore, low to moderate doses of coffeeberry extract do not have a beneficial effect on mood, mental and physical energy levels, or cognition.

Summary: We propose a method for recognising dance moves using 3D accelerometer and gyroscope signals from a wearable device attached to the dancer's leg. The method includes tempo estimation, temporal scaling, orientation-invariant coordinate system transformation, and sliding correlation-based template matching. Experimental results show that the method can accurately recognise repeated dance moves and assess the dancer's consistency in performance, and has potential for recognising imitated dance moves and supporting the learning process.

Summary: Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor abnormalities, cognitive decline, and neuropsychiatric disturbances. Depression is common in HD, but the short-term dynamics of mood and its relationship with depression in HD have not been studied. This study found that depression severity was associated with average mood across 28 days, but not with day-to-day mood variability or inertia. It also revealed that female HD carriers experienced more day-to-day mood variability compared to males.

Summary: The study explores the predictive role of cognitive processes such as attentional control, negative biases in attention and interpretation, and rumination in depressive mood reactivity and recovery in response to stress, as well as their relation to the severity of depression.

Summary: Dance is a universal human behavior that develops early in infancy and shows qualitative changes over the first two years. Parental influence on infant dance behavior is also evident, with implications for cognitive, emotional, social, and motor development in infants.

Summary: Dance has been shown to promote improvements in cognitive parameters in older adults in the context of healthy aging, with significant effects on some physiological parameters even after short intervention periods. Dance helps older adults improve cognitive, physiological, and motor control parameters, thus enhancing their quality of life.

Summary: This study explored the knowledge and risk factors of cardiovascular disease among US veterans, as well as the relationships between knowledge, risk factors, resilience, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Findings indicated that most veterans had a certain level of knowledge on CVD, Marines scored higher on resilience compared to other branches, and 17% reported having PTSD.

Summary: The incidence of NAS in Nevada slightly decreased from 2016 to 2018 but remained substantially higher than earlier estimates. White newborns and Medicaid enrollees had significantly higher incidence rates of NAS. Southern Nevada had the highest incidence rate, and a large percentage of NAS cases were residents of Clark County.

Summary: The distance to medical facilities affects the treatment choices for early stage breast cancer patients. Nationwide and within mountain region, patients living farther from their facility are less likely to receive radiation and more likely to undergo mastectomy. Furthermore, there is a difference in the use of reconstruction between the mountain region and the nation.

Summary: This study investigated the moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between mindfulness, experiential avoidance, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. A cross-sectional study design was used on a sample of 133 college student military veterans. The results showed a direct effect of mindfulness on PTSD and a significant mediating effect of experiential avoidance on the relationship between mindfulness and PTSD. Resilience also had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between mindfulness and PTSD. This study provides preliminary evidence on the usefulness of integrating resilience development in mindfulness-based interventions for trauma-related disorders.

Summary: Dengue Fever (DF) is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and an outbreak occurred in the Afar Region, Ethiopia in 2019. The study found that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were responsible for transmitting DF, and most cases occurred in individuals aged 15-49. The results emphasize the need for control measures targeting Aedes mosquitoes and improved entomological surveillance to prevent future outbreaks.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and cognitive differences between patients with LATE, AD, and comorbid LATE + AD. The results showed that patients with LATE pathology had later onset of cognitive decline, longer survival, and better cognitive performance compared to patients with AD and LATE + AD. Clinical presentation alone was not sufficient to differentiate LATE from AD, highlighting the need for a validated biomarker.

Summary: This study examined the socio-demographic, maternal, and infant characteristics associated with pacifier use among six-month-old infants in Clark County, Nevada. The results showed that over half of the participants used pacifiers, and pacifier use was higher among low-income households, non-Hispanic mothers, non-first-time mothers, and bottle-feeding infants. The risk of introducing pacifiers within two weeks was higher for non-Hispanic mothers and bottle-fed infants, while the risk of introducing pacifiers after two weeks was higher for infants living in food insecure households and mothers with more than one child. Qualitative research is needed to address pacifier use among families with diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds and improve equitable interventions.

Summary: This study investigates the association between a clinical diagnosis of traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) and subsequent decline in cognitive function and brain volume among professional fighters. The results show that athletes with a TES diagnosis had a greater decline in cognitive ability and significant changes in brain volume compared to those without a TES diagnosis. This suggests that a TES diagnosis may be valuable in predicting cognitive decline in professional sports.
