March 2021
We report a case of prolonged motivational deficit as a sequela of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), the most severe form of neuropsychiatric dysfunction arising from traveling to high altitude. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed hyperintense lesions in the globi pallidi bilaterally on T2-weighted images. Single-photon emission computed tomography showed hypoperfusion in dorsolateral and orbital prefrontal cortices bilaterally and in the anterior cingulate cortex.

- The study aimed to see if giving financial incentives could increase daily walking steps among adults in Japan.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, participants were divided into an intervention group (who earned shopping points for walking more) and a control group, with their walking tracked over nine weeks.
- Results showed the intervention group significantly increased daily steps during the incentive period but saw no lasting effect once the incentives were removed.
Introduction: Physical activity is one of the major modifiable factors for promotion of public health. Although it has been reported that financial incentives would be effective for promoting health behaviours such as smoking cessation or attendance for cancer screening, few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have examined the effect of financial incentives for increasing the number of daily steps among individuals in a community setting. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of financial incentives for increasing the number of daily steps among community-dwelling adults in Japan.
