Introduction: The modified shuttle test-15 (MST-15) is a valid alternative for assessing exercise capacity when a cardiopulmonary exercise testing is not feasible. This study aims to describe the percentage of healthy and cystic fibrosis (CF) children and adolescents reaching the MST-15 ceiling. Additionally, it examines associations between MST-15 distance and demographic, anthropometric, and lung function data.

Background: At present there is no comprehensive overview of the long-term development of the clinical picture, disease-associated impairments and neurobiological correlates of anxiety disorders as well as what influence certain risk factors and treatment have on the prognosis.
Objective: This article presents findings regarding disorder-specific symptoms and disorder-associated changes in the areas of functional level, quality of life, neurocognitive performance and structural brain anatomy over the lifespan. It also reports on how patient-related and environment-related aspects as well as guideline-oriented therapy influence the course of the disorder.

Although recent studies have consistently reported the emergence of resting-state networks in early infancy, the changes in inter-network functional connectivity with age are controversial and the alterations in its dynamics remain unclear at this stage. This study aimed to investigate dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) using resting-state functional MRI in 244 full-term (age: 37-44 weeks) and 36 preterm infants (age: 37-43 weeks) from the dHCP dataset. We evaluated whether early dFNC exhibits age-dependent changes and is influenced by preterm birth.

Deciphering the complex interplay between neuronal activity and mitochondrial function is pivotal in understanding brain aging, a multifaceted process marked by declines in synaptic function and mitochondrial performance. Here, we identified an age-dependent coupling between neuronal and synaptic excitation and mitochondrial DNA transcription (E-TC), which operates differently compared to classic excitation-transcription coupling in the nucleus (E-TC). We demonstrated that E-TC repurposes molecules traditionally associated with E-TC to regulate mitochondrial DNA expression in areas closely linked to synaptic activation.

Background: Addition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in prostate cancer screening remains controversial issue. Despite the increased utilization of MRI, several studies have revealed its potential suboptimal diagnostic efficacy in young patients. This study aimed to further substantiate the limited diagnostic efficiency of MRI positivity [defined as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores ≥3] among young individuals aged ≤55 years suspected of prostate cancer, and more significantly, to evaluate two proposed approaches.
