Head motion during MRI compromises image quality for clinical assessments and research. Active motion reduction strategies are effective but rarely applied due to uncertainty in their value for a given study. The ability to anticipate motion based on group characteristics would aid effective neuroimaging study design.

- The meta-analysis examines how sex affects mortality risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who lack standard modifiable risk factors (referred to as SMuRF-less) compared to those who have at least one risk factor (SMuRF).
- It analyzed data from eight studies, revealing that women in the SMuRF-less group had higher in-hospital mortality rates than men, while men showed no significant increase in mortality.
- The findings indicate that women without cardiovascular risk factors face greater short- and medium-term mortality risks after an ACS event compared to their male counterparts.

- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q+) in identifying adults at risk for moderate or intense physical activity, finding that 33.1% of 1019 participants may need further medical evaluation.
- - Feedback revealed that only 4 out of 7 main PAR-Q+ questions were clearly understood by the public, and many faced difficulties with follow-up questions, especially those with existing health issues.
- - The study concluded that the PAR-Q+ may over-identify individuals needing medical evaluation and highlighted the need to improve the clarity and simplicity of the questionnaire language.
