The beneficial effect of physical activity (PA) on the brain has been well established. Both acute and regular PA can boost a range cognitive functions enhance mood mental health. Notably, is generally found to be dose-dependent, in terms both amount intensity exercise episode. In contrast, case PA, literature primarily focused exercise, limited studies have assessed influence intensity. Since higher causes more extensive, powerful, longer-lasting neurobiological changes, it may prove...
To evaluate the in-vivo plaque composition and characteristics in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) using Virtual Histology intravascular ultrasound (VH IVUS).In 90 stable angina pectoris, de novo target vessels were studied components analysed. Patients divided into two groups: a diabetic group (36 vessels) non-diabetic (54 vessels).The percentage area of necrotic core dense calcium significantly larger DM than non-DM (necrotic core: 11.0% (interquartile range (IQR): 7.2-15.2%) vs...
Abstract Differential diagnosis is sometimes difficult in practical psychiatric settings, terms of using the current diagnostic system based on presenting symptoms and signs. The creation a novel objective biomarkers expected to take place. Neuroimaging studies others reported that subcortical brain structures are hubs for various psycho-behavioral functions, while there so far no neuroimaging data-driven clinical criteria overcoming limitations system, which would reflect cognitive/social...
Abstract According to the operational diagnostic criteria, psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive (MDD), and autism spectrum (ASD) are classified based on symptoms. While its cluster of symptoms defines each these disorders, there is also an overlap in between disorders. We hypothesized that similarities differences cortical structural neuroimaging features among T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed for 5,549 subjects...
Nature therapies are gaining attention as non-pharmacological treatments for depression and anxiety disorders, but research on their effectiveness in patients is limited. This study investigates the mood-enhancing effects of visual stimulation with natural environmental images disorders. We conducted a randomized crossover comparison trial involving 60 right-handed adult participants or disorders receiving outpatient treatment. Visual stimuli environments consisted green-themed images, while...
Postpartum depression and mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD), two issues crucial to maternal infant mental health, often coexist affect each other. Our study aims dissect their complex relationship through a graphical LASSO network analysis of individual symptoms in 5594 Japanese postpartum women, whose geographical distribution was nationally representative. We identified 'fear', 'enjoyment', 'overwhelm', 'insomnia' as common bridge linking MIBD across three distinct periods....
Abstract Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with mild hypercalcemia (Ca <12 mg/dL) often remains asymptomatic. However, PHPT may induce various psychiatric symptoms, including depression, cognitive dysfunction, and infrequently, psychotic predominantly in older adults rather than middle‐aged or younger individuals. Case‐presentation A 48‐year‐old man, no history of physical mental illness, experienced delusions about a suspicious car his neighborhood, believing it was linked to...
THE AUTHORS DISSECTED the cervical spine and its surrounding structures from 40 adult cadavers under a surgical microscope. The anterior part of spinal cord was examined after vertebrectomy. posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) consists two layers; one is termed deep layer, superficial layer. These layers adhered together loosely. In lateral portion canal, layer joined periradicular sheath at level intervertebral disc spaces dura mater vertebral bodies. After removal internal venous plexus...
Although literature evidence suggests deficits in social and non-social cognition patients with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) schizophrenia (SCZ), the difference neural correlates of impairments between two disorders has not been elucidated. We examined brain function response to a task using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) 13 ASD, 15 SCZ, 18 healthy subjects. assessed participants verbal fluency an emotional facial recognition task. The ASD showed significantly reduced...
It has been recently suggested that contact with nature improves mood via reducing the activity of prefrontal cortex. However, specific regions within cortex underlie this effect remain unclear. In study, we aimed to identify involved in mood-improving viewing images using a 52-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Specifically, focused on orbitofrontal (OFC) and dorsolateral (dlPFC), two associated affective processing control. randomized controlled crossover experiment,...
Abundant evidence shows that various forms of physical exercise, even conducted briefly, may improve cognitive functions. However, the effect exercise on creative thinking remains under-investigated, and role mood in this unclear. In present study, we set out to investigate an acute bout aerobic divergent convergent whether depends post-exercise mood. Forty healthy young adults were randomly assigned receive a 15-min or control intervention, before after which they alternate use test...
The aim of this study was to determine whether the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score (Hs-mGPS) could predict disease-specific survival and oncological outcome in adult patients with non-metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma before treatment. A total 139 treated between 2001 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Hs-mGPS varied 0 2. Patients a 2 had poorer than (p < 0.001). estimated five-year rate for those 0%, compared 85.4% (95% CI 77.3 93.5) 0. Those also 1 (75.3%, 95% 55.8...
Little is known about disorder-specific biomarkers of bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive (MDD). Our aim was to determine a neural substrate that could be used distinguish BD from MDD. study included group (10 patients with BD, 10 first-degree relatives (FDRs) individuals BD), MDD (17 MDD, 17 FDRs MDD), 27 healthy individuals. Structural functional brain abnormalities were evaluated by voxel-based morphometry trail making test (TMT), respectively. The showed significant main effect...
Accumulated evidence collected via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been reported with regard to mental disorders. A previous finding revealed that emotional words evoke left frontal cortex activity in patients depression. The primary aim of the current study was replicate this using an independent dataset and evaluate brain region associated severity depression Stroop task.Oxygenized deoxygenized hemoglobin recording by fNIRS on 14 MDD 20 normal controls.Hyperactivated...
