Preliminary Evidence of Disparities in Physical Activity among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder
Conclusions Frontal-executive dysfunction implicates frontal brain regions, which are known to be susceptible to oxidative damage. Further studies are needed, and those examining psychiatric populations may be especially fruitful. Focusing on youth may yield enhanced signal detection. Further study is needed to identify which antioxidant interventions work best for which cognitive functions and for which patients.

Flow-Mediated Dilation and Neurocognition: Systematic Review and Future Directions
Conclusions: Even in the absence of cerebrovascular disease, there are links between cognition, particularly executive tasks, and vascular function. Public health implications include the potential value of examining FMD as a predictor of cognitive decline, as well as the potential value of improving cognition through pharmacological and behavioral interventions that improve vascular function. Future studies incorporating neuroimaging measures of cerebral blood flow are warranted.

Well-Being and Chronic Disease Incidence: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
Conclusions: The extent of association between well-being and incident disease risk is not consistent across different chronic diseases. Future studies should examine the cause of this variation.

Transcranial direct current stimulation as a novel method for enhancing aphasia treatment effects.
Neuromodulation is an exciting area of development. Currently, there is significant interest in academia, industry, and clinical practice where an effective and acceptable transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) kit for use in clinical rehabilitation would offer much benefit to patients’ treatment. In this review, I discuss the latest group studies investigating current tDCS methods for enhancing aphasia treatment effects in post-stroke (sub-acute and chronic) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA) patient populations. This field is still new, and many more investigations with larger samples of patients are needed....

Analyses of Rule Breaks and Errors During Planning in Computerized Tower Tasks: Insights From Neurological Patients.
DISCUSSION: Direct attempts to break the TOL-F's task rules are particularly informative of clinical impairments in planning ability. Similar to findings from studies employing manual versions, using a computerized tower task revealed consistent rule break and error patterns across patients. Thus, computerized tower tasks can yield useful clinical information on rule-breaking behavior during planning in clinical populations. PMID: 27590302 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Childhood Trauma and Adult Risk Factors and Disease in Hispanics/Latinos in the US: Results From the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Sociocultural Ancillary Study
Conclusions: Adverse childhood experiences are prevalent among US Hispanics/Latinos and are involved in disease in adulthood. The apparent higher prevalence of ACEs in US Hispanics/Latinos did not correspond with stronger associations with disease. Further studies are needed to identify factors that may moderate the associations of ACE with adult disease.

Cultural entrainment of motor skill development: Learning to write hiragana in Japanese primary school
Abstract The aim of the present study was to examine how the social norms shared in a classroom environment influence the development of movement dynamics of handwriting of children who participate in the environment. To look into this issue, the following aspects of the entire period of classroom learning of hiragana letters in Japanese 1st graders who had just entered primary school were studied: First, the structure of classroom events and the specific types of interaction and learning within such environment were described. Second, in the experiment involving 6‐year‐old children who participated in the class, writi...

Motor control of handwriting in the developing brain: A review.
Abstract This review focuses on the acquisition of writing motor aspects in adults, and in 5-to 12-year-old children without learning disabilities. We first describe the behavioural aspects of adult writing and dominant models based on the notion of motor programs. We show that handwriting acquisition is characterized by the transition from reactive movements programmed stroke-by-stroke in younger children, to an automatic control of the whole trajectory when the motor programs are memorized at about 10 years old. Then, we describe the neural correlates of adult writing, and the changes that could occur with learn...

Reaction times match IQ for major causes of mortality: Evidence from a population based prospective cohort study.
Conclusion: The association between intelligence with mortality from the major causes is also seen with reaction times. That effect sizes are of similar magnitude is suggestive of a common cause. It also implies that the association of cognitive ability with mortality is unlikely to be due to any social, cultural or educational biases that are sometimes ascribed to intelligence measures.

Autonomic cardiovascular dysregulation at rest and during stress in chronically low blood pressure.
Chronic low blood pressure (hypotension) is accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, reduced drive, faintness, dizziness, cold limbs, and concentration difficulties. The study explored the involvement of aberrances in autonomic cardiovascular control in the origin of this condition. In 40 hypotensive and 40 normotensive subjects, impedance cardiography, electrocardiography, and continuous blood pressure recordings were performed at rest and during stress induced by mental calculation. Parameters of cardiac sympathetic control (i.e., stroke volume, cardiac output, pre-ejection period, total peripheral resistance), parasympa...

Limb apraxia profiles in different clinical samples.
CONCLUSION: Different types of patients display varying limb apraxic symptoms detectable by the DILA-S. In these limb apraxia susceptible populations, testing should be warranted as standard. Prospectively, individual error profiles may be helpful for shaping motor cognitive training. PMID: 31002018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Executive function in children with sickle cell anemia on transfusion: NIH toolbox utility in the clinical context.
Conclusions: Findings provide evidence for poor development of inhibitory control with age in this patient population. As the NIH Toolbox successfully highlighted expected deficits in this patient population, this study supports the use of this tool as a brief screening measure for children with SCD. The clinical and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed. PMID: 33200651 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Systematic review of sensory stimulation programs in the rehabilitation of acquired brain injury.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) can lead to sensory deficits and compromise functionality. However, most studies have been focused on motor stimulation in stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sensory stimulation in stroke and mild/moderate TBI has received reduced interest. The main objective of this review is to know the methodological characteristics and effects of sensory programs in ABI. Studies with the purpose of testing the efficacy of those programs were identified through a literature search, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and the Cochrane Collaboration Gu...
