Given the emphasis on within-subject associations between depression and marital quality in recent theory and practice, this study was undertaken with three goals: to examine within-subject associations between depressive symptoms and marital quality over time, to address gender differences in the magnitude and direction of these associations, and to determine whether neuroticism moderates the strength of these associations. A total of 164 newly wed couples provided 8 waves of data over 4 years of marriage. Hierarchical linear modeling confirmed the existence of bidirectional within-subject associations between marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Gender differences were rarely significant. Although neuroticism strengthened the effect of marital distress on symptoms as predicted, it weakened the effect of symptoms on marital distress among husbands. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Background: In people with substance use disorders (SUDs), stress-exposure can impair executive function, and increase craving and likelihood of drug-use recurrence. Research shows that acute stressors increase drug-seeking behavior; however, mechanisms underlying this effect are incompletely understood. The Competing Neurobehavioral Decisions System theory posits that persons with SUDs may have hyperactive limbic reward circuitry and hypoactive executive control circuitry.

: Television viewing has been linked with increased weight and obesity, likely through decreased physical activity associated with sitting and viewing television, as well as increased intake of food, likely through reduced awareness of eating and intake behaviours. This review sought to determine the effects of television viewing on energy intake relative to the absence of television. : We adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and pre-registered this review in PROSPERO (CRD42023493092).

Unlocking the multidimensionality of plantar pressure measurements for the evaluation of footwear in people with diabetes.

The offloading effectiveness of custom-made footwear for people with diabetes is assessed using plantar pressure measurements. While such pressure data is multidimensional, it is mostly analyzed using a scalar - maximum peak plantar pressure (PMax). We aimed to investigate the associations between multiple peak plantar pressure parameters for footwear assessment and determine whether this assessment depends on the chosen parameter.

Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Health Economics, School of Public Health, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Purpose: To assess adverse neurological risks following influenza vaccination in older adults.

Methods: Using a linked database of healthcare administrative claims data and vaccination records from an urban city in Japan (April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2020), we conducted an observational study utilizing a self-controlled case series design. We identified individuals aged ≥ 65 years who experienced adverse neurological outcomes, defined as hospitalizations related to epilepsy, paralysis, facial paralysis, neuralgia, neuritis, optic neuritis, migraine, extrapyramidal disorders, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or narcolepsy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how magnesium (Mg) intake affects lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), focusing on cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • Participants received nutritional education over three months to increase Mg-rich food consumption, resulting in a significant decrease in total cholesterol levels related to Mg intake.
  • The findings suggest that Mg-focused dietary education could be an effective, low-cost strategy for improving the health of T2DM patients, although further research is needed for long-term effects and larger populations.
