: University students experience ≈ 9 h of sitting/day, which may support interventions like active desks. University students ( = 24) Method: Randomized crossover trial aimed to compare effects of sitting (SED), low and moderate-intensity cycling desks (CD; CD) concurrent to an academic task (30-minute video + written exam). Selective visual attention (Tobii Glasses 2) was measured throughout the intervention, and workload (NASA-TLX) and anxiety (POMS-SF) were assessed before and after the video and post-exam.

Background: Physical characteristics and perceptions of an environment can have enduring effects on one's mental health. The present study aimed to determine whether a set of measures of neighborhood safety - independent built environment features, parents' perception of neighborhood safety and community cohesion, and children's perception of neighborhood safety - best related to symptoms of depression in young boys and girls from Montréal, Québec.

Methods: Data were from the Quebec Adipose and Lifestyle Investigation in Youth (QUALITY) cohort.

Background: In the one-stop breast clinic setting, breast cytology traditionally provides immediate diagnosis of carcinoma. Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) is an emerging optical technique enabling ex vivo analysis of breast biopsies in real-time. This study represents the first proof of concept for integrating FCM imaging into the routine workflow of breast core needle biopsies (CNB) at Gustave Roussy's one-stop breast clinic.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of a new 3D ultrasound (3D-US) technique for measuring muscle volume in older adults, particularly in relation to sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle loss.
  • - Researchers found that 3D-US measurements demonstrated better concordance with total appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) compared to traditional 2D ultrasound (2D-US), with high reliability in 3D-US measurements.
  • - The results suggest that using 3D-US can offer significant advantages in assessing muscle volume and strength, supporting its potential as a reliable tool in geriatric rehabilitation settings.
