Summary: This study examined the effects of the 4D dietary supplement on cognition, reaction time, and reactive agility. The results suggest that the supplement may improve measures of cognition, particularly attention/spatial awareness, but does not have an effect on reaction time or reactive agility.

Summary: Inhibitory control is a cognitive mechanism that plays a crucial role in self-regulation, decision making, and attention. The detour task, a widely used assay, has limitations in measuring inhibitory control. However, by validating and refining the task, it is possible to capture intrinsic differences in inhibitory control.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of maximal and submaximal anaerobic and aerobic running on subsequent change-of-direction speed (CODS) performance. The results showed that both anaerobic and aerobic running activities decreased the speed of CODS. Anaerobic running at 85% and 90% had a greater impact on CODS performance than did aerobic running at these intensities. Above 90% intensity, anaerobic and aerobic performance similarly impacted the change-of-direction speed.

Summary: This study found that successful inhibitory control in response to food images in children with overweight and obesity is associated with activation in the insular cortex. Additionally, academic achievement seems to play a role in the magnitude of this activation.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the efficacy of exercise intervention for women during/following treatment for gynaecological cancer. The results showed that exercise intervention can improve aerobic capacity, muscular strength, and agility, but the effects on quality of life, body composition, balance, and flexibility were inconsistent.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different aerobic exercise methods on inhibitory control and heart rate variability in obese adolescents with different cardiorespiratory fitness levels. The findings showed that adolescents with higher cardiorespiratory fitness performed better on inhibitory control tasks, and high-intensity interval exercise had a longer-lasting positive impact on their performance. Obese adolescents with lower cardiorespiratory fitness were better suited for moderate-intensity continuous exercise, as high-intensity interval exercise impaired their inhibitory control immediately after exercise.

Summary: This study found that inhibitory control in guppies is influenced by both development and personality, with different age groups showing varying levels of inhibitory control ability. Among the different personality traits, there was a significant correlation between exploratory behavior and inhibitory control, suggesting that more explorative guppies may exhibit stronger inhibitory control.

Summary: This study investigates the unique and interactive effects of emotional dysregulation and inhibitory control on physical aggression. The findings suggest that the interplay between emotional and inhibitory control can explain variance in aggression and that the neuroanatomical correlates of this interaction contribute to our understanding of violent behavior.

Summary: In this paper, a novel teacher-student framework is proposed to learn time-critically responsive policies for interactive virtual environments. This approach guarantees the time-to-completion between user inputs and their associated responses, regardless of the size and composition of the motion databases. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through interactive characters that can quickly respond to user control while performing agile, highly dynamic movements.

Summary: The study found that children in the open skill sport group performed better in inhibitory control and motor fitness than those in the closed skill and sedentary groups, while children in the closed skill sport group had better reaction time than those in the sedentary group. The higher cognitive demands in complex motor actions may explain the benefits of exercise on inhibitory control.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive interference through web-based assessments. The results show a significant association between hearing loss and cognitive interference when controlling for demographic and health factors. Additionally, the relationship differs between males and females. This study highlights the importance of controlling for participant characteristics when assessing the relationship between hearing and cognitive interference.

Summary: The study found that younger age, female gender, lower income, having comorbid health conditions, previous diagnosis of mood disorder, and increased sitting time were all associated with higher depression scores. Sitting time was strongly associated with adverse mental health during COVID-19 lockdown and should be considered in future public health recommendations.

Summary: In this study, the presence of metabolic syndrome in Brazilian adolescents with obesity was 47.76%. The most frequently reported abnormal measurements were waist circumference (100%), blood pressure (85%), and triglycerides (50.75%). Boys with obesity were more likely to meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome compared to girls.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of e-health interventions for overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. The results showed that e-health interventions can have a positive impact on treating overweight and obesity in this population, although there is high heterogeneity between studies.

Summary: Using Brofenbrenner's socio-ecological model, this study examined the perceptions of playground users (primary school staff and pupils) regarding the barriers and facilitators to physical activity on a school playground. The findings revealed that environmental limitations and school policies restrict children's exploration and activity levels, and differences were observed in the perceptions of adults and children. The study suggests that primary schools should consider and implement strategies at each level of the socio-ecological model to encourage more effective use of the playground.

Summary: This study compared the effects of fluoride exposure and exercise on glucose homeostasis, and liver and muscle proteomes in fluorosis-susceptible and fluorosis-resistant mice. The results showed higher fluoride concentrations in the plasma and femur of fluorosis-resistant mice. Fluorosis-susceptible mice had higher plasma glucose levels, and exercise did not affect this. There were differences in liver and muscle protein expression between the two types of mice.

Summary: This scoping review revealed significant variability in the use of spot urine samples and nail clippings to measure fluoride exposure in different settings and situations. There are inconsistencies in the methodologies and analytical approaches used in assessing fluoride exposure. More rigorous primary research studies using standardized approaches are needed to determine the suitability of spot urine samples and nail clippings as biomarkers for monitoring fluoride exposure.

Summary: This study reviewed the evidence on the association between fluoride exposure and cognitive outcomes in children, and found that high fluoride exposure may be associated with negative cognitive outcomes. Although only one high-quality study showed a negative association, the majority of poor-quality studies reported a negative association. However, more longitudinal studies with high methodological quality are needed for further understanding this issue.

Summary: This article presents a case study of a 28-year-old woman who died of asthma despite being initially diagnosed with moderate asthma and prescribed regular treatment. The study highlights the importance of prioritizing asthma in primary health care, including early diagnosis, asthma management, and patient education to identify worsening symptoms and manage exacerbations according to a written asthma plan. This approach may help reduce premature and preventable asthma deaths.
