We present the first reported case of peroneal tenosynovitis secondary to a retained blackthorn in a patient with a 4 months history of persistent pain and swelling around her lateral malleolus following a penetrating injury. Ultrasonography reported considerable subcutaneous fluid but no identifiable foreign body. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed peroneal sheath synovitis with a possible retained foreign body posteriorly. Surgical exploration revealed marked synovitis and chronic inflammation of the peroneal sheath with the tip of a blackthorn deep to peroneus longus. This case illustrates the many ways in which penetrating blackthorn injuries may present. In particular it highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for retained foreign material and the need for further imaging and surgical exploration when symptoms do not resolve.

Poor inhibitory control contributes to deficits in emotion regulation, which are often targeted by treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD), including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Brain regions that contribute to inhibitory control and emotion regulation overlap; thus, inhibitory control might relate to response to CBT. In this study, we examined whether baseline inhibitory control and resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) within overlapping emotion regulation-inhibitory control regions predicted treatment response to internet-based CBT (iCBT).

Eye tracking (ET) experiments commonly record the continuous trajectory of a subject's gaze on a two-dimensional screen throughout repeated presentations of stimuli (referred to as trials). Even though the continuous path of gaze is recorded during each trial, commonly derived outcomes for analysis collapse the data into simple summaries, such as looking times in regions of interest, latency to looking at stimuli, number of stimuli viewed, number of fixations or fixation length. In order to retain information in trial time, we utilize functional data analysis (FDA) for the first time in literature in the analysis of ET data.

Background: Insights from neuroimaging-based biomarker research have not yet translated into clinical practice. This translational gap may stem from a focus on diagnostic classification, rather than on prediction of transdiagnostic psychiatric symptom severity. Currently, no transdiagnostic, multimodal predictive models of symptom severity that include neurobiological characteristics have emerged.
