AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the reliability of mismatch negativity (MMN), a potential biomarker for pre-attentive processing in psychosis, by conducting four repeated EEG sessions with healthy participants.
- Both duration-related MMN (dMMN) and frequency-related MMN (fMMN) showed good test-retest reliability, with fMMN demonstrating slightly better reliability than dMMN.
- The results suggest that MMNs are stable indicators over multiple sessions, reinforcing their potential as biomarkers for brain function and prognosis in psychotic disorders.
Article Abstract
Objectives: -Mismatch negativity (MMN) has been demonstrated as a potential biomarker for pre-attentive processing and prognosis in patients with psychosis. However, previous studies mainly evaluated the reliability of MMN across only two repeated sessions, which is inadequate to draw a convincing conclusion. The current study aimed to assess multi-session test-retest reliability in duration-related MMN (dMMN) and frequency-related MMN (fMMN).
Methods: -We recorded four repeated sessions of electroencephalography (EEG) from 16 healthy participants in an oddball task. MMNs were extracted and their reliability was evaluated by intra-class coefficient (ICC). We also analyzed the correlation between fMMN and dMMN.
Results: -Both dMMN and fMMN amplitudes exhibited good test-retest reliability, and fMMN had better reliability (average ICC = 0.7279) than dMMN (average ICC = 0.6974). Moreover, dMMN and fMMN showed more than moderate linear correlation in amplitudes (r = 0.598, CI: [0.100, 0.857]).
Conclusion: -Both the duration- and frequency-related MMN amplitudes were highly reliable across four-session experiments. These results provide further evidence for the potential utility of MMNs as biomarkers in research into brain function, and prognosis in psychotic illness.

Patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction frequently present asymmetries in the sagittal plane dynamics when performing single leg jumps but their assessment is inaccessible to health-care professionals as it requires a complex and expensive system. With the development of deep learning methods for human pose detection, kinematics can be quantified based on a video and this study aimed to investigate whether a relatively simple 2D multibody model could predict relevant dynamic biomarkers based on the kinematics using inverse dynamics. Six participants performed ten vertical and forward single leg hops while the kinematics and the ground reaction force "GRF" were captured using an optoelectronic system coupled with a force platform.

Replication and the reported crises impacting many fields of research have become a focal point for the sciences. This has led to reforms in publishing, methodological design and reporting, and increased numbers of experimental replications coordinated across many laboratories. While replication is rightly considered an indispensable tool of science, financial resources and researchers' time are quite limited.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the investigation of very old individuals. However, various challenges arise when collecting data from this age group. Given potential health and cognitive impairments and the difficulty of retrieving accurate self-reported data, involving individuals knowledgeable of the target person as proxy respondents are an invaluable solution.

Background: The Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) contain three subscales measuring depression, anxiety, and stress. Several abbreviated DASS-21 versions have been developed, demonstrating better clinical utility and measurement properties than the original instrument. This study explored the factor structure of various abbreviated DASS-21 versions and identified/validated the optimal one for assessing young adults with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

Background: One can assess cortical defects on the early images of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3 renography. We aimed to assess interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility for detecting renal cortical defects using [99mTc]Tc-MAG3 for adults and children; identify causes for poor inter- and intraobserver reproducibility and to assess the effect of the kidney to background ratio (KTBR) on reproducibility.
Methods: One hundred adult and 200 pediatric renograms were included.
