The causality of physical activity status and intelligence: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Observational studies suggest physical activity (PA) enhances intelligence, while sedentary behavior (SB) poses a risk. However, causality remains unclear.

Methods: We extracted genetic instruments from large genome-wide association studies summary data and employed an inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach within a random-effects model as the primary method of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to estimate the overall effect of various physical activity statuses on intelligence.

The effects of health-preserving sports on the treatment of COVID-19: A protocol for systematic review.

Background: From the end of 2019, COVID-19 has become a global epidemic, threatening the physical and mental health of everyone. How to effectively prevent and treat COVID-19 is concerned. Some studies have shown that Health-Preserving Sports plays an active role in the prognosis treatment of COVID-19.

The effects of exercise therapy on the prognosis of patients with COVID-19: A protocol for systematic review.

Background: Since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, more than 20 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and all health care workers are looking for ways to improve the cure rate of the disease. As an important method of rehabilitation therapy, exercise therapy has been proved to improve the level of human function, promote the recovery of diseases, and improve the human immune ability. The main objective of this study was to provide reliable methods and credible evidence for exercise therapy to improve the prognosis of COVID-19 patients.

Psychometric properties of the Chinese-version Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale 39-generic version (SAQOL-39g).

Background And Purpose: Aphasia is a common outcome of stroke affecting one-third of the post-stroke population in China. While the quality of life (QOL) may be affected, care is often inadequately guided due to lack of validated measure for Chinese population with stroke-induced aphasia. This study aimed to develop a Chinese-version of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life-39 generic version (SAQOL-39g) and evaluate its feasibility, reliability, and validity in Chinese patients with stroke-induced aphasia.

Evidence of cortical reorganization of language networks after stroke with subacute Broca's aphasia: a blood oxygenation level dependent-functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that is a common consequence of stroke. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, and as a result, current treatment options are not satisfactory. Here, we used blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the activation of bilateral cortices in patients with Broca's aphasia 1 to 3 months after stroke.
