Drinking intention-behavior links vary by affect among heavy-drinking young adults: An ecological momentary assessment and transdermal sensor study.

Objective: Drinking intention is a predictor of heavy-drinking episodes and could serve as a real-time target for preventive interventions. However, the association is inconsistent and relatively weak. Considering the affective context when intentions are formed might improve results by revealing conditions in which intention-behavior links are strongest and the predictive power of intentions is greatest.

Intramedullary Nail Failure in a Subtrochanteric Fracture in a 62-Year-Old Woman.

Subtrochanteric fractures in older patients are typically due to low-energy falls. The standard of care is intramedullary nailing. The Smith & Nephew Trigen Intertan (Memphis, TN, US) is an intramedullary nail with a novel design that incorporates two integrated compression screws.

Within-person associations between daily stress and physical activity during working and non-working hours.

People experience stressors on 40% of days, and emotional responses to stressors increase the risk for poor health, in part by impacting health behaviors like physical activity (PA). However, whether associations of daily psychological stressors with PA after the self-reported stressor occurs (post-stressor PA) differ across working and non-working hours is unclear. This study used the National Study of Daily Experiences III (2017-2019) to examine within-person associations between stressors and post-stressor PA during working and non-working hours and moderation by age and biological sex.

Pericyte ablation causes hypoactivity and reactive gliosis in adult mice.

Capillary pericytes are important regulators of cerebral blood flow, blood-brain barrier integrity and neuroinflammation, but can become lost or dysfunctional in disease. The consequences of pericyte loss or dysfunction is extremely difficult to discern when it forms one component of a complex disease process. To evaluate this directly, we examined the effect of adult pericyte loss on mouse voluntary movement and motor function, and physiological responses such as hypoxia, blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and glial reactivity.
