Article Abstract
Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) is a promising intervention against age-related decline. Though previous studies have shown benefits in motoric and cognitive domains, it is unclear how these effects are functionally related. Therefore, a randomized controlled trial was conducted in an aging population (53-85). Two measures of motor functioning - motor speed and functional balance - and three cognitive control measures - shifting, updating and inhibition - were included. The TCC condition consisted of an online 10 week 20 lessons video program of increasing level and control condition of educational videos of similar length and frequency. All analyses were done with Bayesian statistics. Counter to expectation no differences were found in cognition between TCC and control pre-to-posttest. However, there was extreme evidence for TCC benefits on functional balance and moderate evidence for increased motoric speed. After weighing the evidence and limitations of the intervention we conclude that TCC does not enhance cognitive control.

Aims: This study aims to describe pain management technique usage and social functioning limitations among adults with chronic pain by diabetes status.
Methods: The 2019 and 2020 National Health Interview Survey data were pooled to complete this analysis. Use of the following techniques in the past 3 months were measured: 1) prescription opioids; 2) physical, rehabilitative, or occupational therapy; 3) talk therapies; 4) chiropractic care; 5) yoga, Tai Chi, or Qi Gong; 6) massage; and 7) relaxation techniques.
Antidepressant response time across intermittent theta burst stimulation regimens and efficacy indicators in adolescents depression: a secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial.
BMC Psychiatry

The Affiliated Brain Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Liwan District, No. 36, Mingxin Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
Background: Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS), which involves the administration of multiple daily sessions of iTBS, represents a novel regimen of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Studies have suggested that aiTBS may facilitate a fast response among patients with major depressive disorders. However, whether aiTBS can accelerate antidepressant response in adolescents suffering from depression is still unclear.

Background: The relationship between the extent and severity of stress-induced ischemia and the extent and severity of anatomic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with obstructive CAD is multifactorial and includes the intensity of stress achieved, type of testing used, presence and extent of prior infarction, collateral blood flow, plaque characteristics, microvascular disease, coronary vasomotor tone, and genetic factors. Among chronic coronary disease participants with site-determined moderate or severe ischemia, we investigated associations between ischemia severity on stress testing and the extent of CAD on coronary computed tomography angiography.
Methods: Clinically indicated stress testing included nuclear imaging, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or nonimaging exercise tolerance test.

Importance: The effect of exercise interventions on increasing and sustaining moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who are at heightened risk of dementia, remains unclear.
Objective: To examine whether participation in a 6-month, supervised, home-based tai ji quan intervention increases MVPA among US community-dwelling older adults at 1 year.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This study was a secondary analysis of a parallel-group, outcome assessor-blinded, randomized clinical trial conducted virtually at participants' homes.
