Disease-State Dependent Associations Between Intrinsic Brain Function and Symptoms of Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety in Crohn's Disease.

Background: Extraintestinal symptoms (EIS) in inflammatory bowel diseases, including fatigue, depression and anxiety, are highly prevalent, but poorly understood. Alterations of brain function may contribute to EIS, but their association with disease activity is unclear. This study analyzed intrinsic neural activity (INA) of individuals with Crohn's disease (CD) in different disease states and examined the relationship between INA and EIS.

Velocity and pattern of growth of intracranial meningiomas.

Objective: The authors' aim was to assess the velocity and pattern of growth of meningiomas and to correlate the kinetics of tumor growth with their previously reported two-item radiological risk stratification and CNS WHO grade (5th edition, 2021).

Methods: The authors performed a serial volumetric analysis of meningiomas diagnosed radiologically at their institution between 2003 and 2015. The primary endpoint was velocity of diametric expansion (VDE), which represents the slope of the linear regression of the mean tumor diameter against time.

Associations Between Brain Morphology, Inflammatory Markers, and Symptoms of Fatigue, Depression, or Anxiety in Active and Remitted Crohn's Disease.

Background: Fatigue and psychosocial impairments are highly prevalent in IBD, particularly during active disease. Disturbed brain-gut interactions may contribute to these symptoms. This study examined associations between brain structure, faecal calprotectin, and symptoms of fatigue, depression, and anxiety in persons with Crohn's disease [CD] in different disease states.

Naturally developed HPV16 antibodies and risk of newly detected cervical HPV infection outcomes.

Little is known about the protection conferred by antibodies from natural human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Our objective was to evaluate the association between HPV16 seroreactivity and HPV16 redetection, newly detected HPV infections, and loss of HPV DNA detection during follow-up. We analyzed data from 2462 unvaccinated Brazilian women.

Step away from depression-results from a multicenter randomized clinical trial with a pedometer intervention during and after inpatient treatment of depression.

Evidence for the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) in the treatment of depression prevails for outpatients with mild and moderate symptom levels. For inpatient treatment of severe depression, evidence-based effectiveness exists only for structured and supervised group PA interventions. The Step Away from Depression (SAD) study investigated the effectiveness of an individual pedometer intervention (PI) combined with an activity diary added to inpatient treatment as usual (TAU).
