Observations of trail activity of the martens, mountain hares, and red squirrels in winter along fixed routes in the Central Forest Reserve showed its high variability and synchronism in time and space. Polynomial dependence of the trail activity and correlation between spatial distribution of marten, mountain hare and squirrel are detected. The influence of weather on the trail activity is smaller, but statistically significant. It is proved that the space-time dynamics of the trail activity is governed by the Moran effect which is amplified by relations between the predator and prey.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the intervention effect of intermittent Theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on bilateral dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) for negative symptoms in schizophrenia using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to confirm the therapeutic significance of DMPFC in treating negative symptoms and provide new evidence for schizophrenia treatment and research.
Method: Thirty-nine schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms and mild cognitive impairment were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=20) and a control group (n=19). The treatment group received iTBS in bilateral DMPFC.

Objectives: Cognition consists of specific domains that are differentially linked to health outcomes. We provide guidance on how to derive cognitive domains in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) study. We suggest the use of a bifactor analysis to derive cognitive domains.

Introduction: Esketamine has unique advantages in combination with dexmedetomidine for sedation in young children, owing to its sympathetic activity and mild respiratory depression. However, the optimal dose is yet to be determined. In this study, we compared the different doses of intranasal esketamine combined with dexmedetomidine for sedation during transthoracic echocardiography in toddlers.

Background: Several single race events (5 km, 10 km, half-marathon, marathon, ultra-marathon) in different countries and different years have been analyzed in multiple studies, representing the rising interest in endurance-based activity and thus physical health. With focus on participation numbers, performance or sex difference, many single study results were obtained. The running trends in a whole country covering a longer period of time and several race distances are missing so far.

This study was mainly aimed at exploring the effect of gender on the patterns of Physical Activty (PA) in older people living in an area of exceptional longevity, the so-called Sardinian Blue Zone. Furthermore, the study intended to investigate the nature of the relationships among PA metrics, cognitive measures, and age. One hundred and nine community-dwelling participants (M = 81.
