Longitudinal Quantitative MRI Provides Responsive Outcome Measures for Early and Late Muscle Changes in ALS.

Studies have demonstrated the potential of muscle MRIs to measure disease progression in ALS. However, the responsiveness and utility of quantitative muscle MRIs in an ALS clinical trial remain unknown. This study aimed to determine the responsiveness of quantitative muscle MRIs to measure disease progression in ALS. Longitudinal quantitative muscle MRIs were obtained in an ALS study that delivered human neural progenitor cells to the spinal cord (NCT02943850). Participants underwent MRIs at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. MRI measures included fat fraction (ff), water T2 (T2m), cross-sectional area (CSA), and remaining muscle area (RMA). Non-MRI measures included strength via Accurate Test of Limb Isometric Strength (ATLIS) and the ALSFRS-R. Standardized response means (SRM) were calculated at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Significant increases in muscle FF and decreases in CSA and RMA were seen as early as 1 month from baseline. At 6 months, the most responsive measures were muscle FF (SRMthigh = 1.85, SRMcalf = 1.39), T2m (SRMthigh = 1.2, SRMcalf = 1.71), CSA (SRMthigh = -1.58, SRMcalf = -1.14), RMA (SRMthigh = -1.77, SRMcalf = -1.28), and strength tested via ATLIS (SRMknee extension = -1.79, SRMknee flexion = -1.3). The ALSFRS-R was the least responsive at 6 months (SRM = -0.85). Muscle FF and T2m correlated with ALSFRS-R leg subscores and MRI measures demonstrated varying degrees of correlation with strength. High responsiveness and low variability make quantitative muscle MRI a novel and complementary outcome measure for ALS clinical trials.

Ethnic bias and the hidden curriculum: The impact of routine inclusion of ethnicity in medical education assessment

Introduction: In 2012, the University of Otago Medical School in New Zealand amended high stakes examination questions to routinely include ethnicity. This policy change was prompted by the assessment committee, including the Māori subcommittee. This study aimed to examine the portrayal of Māori patients and to explore the impact of routine inclusion of ethnicity. Methods: A quantitative description of demographic variables of examination questions and responses (role-model answers, multiple-response preferred answer, guidelines for markers) from a pre policy (2009–2011), post policy (2012–2013) and follow-up period (2018–2019) was undertaken. A qualitative content analysis of Māori examination questions was conducted with consideration of trends over time. Results: The majority (98%) of examination questions did not report ethnicity prior to the 2012 policy, whereas around 80% of cases did post policy implementation. Three themes were identified: the non-adherent Māori patient, determinants of health and the patient assigned Māori ethnicity. Examination questions and responses that portrayed Māori as being non-adherent were more common prior to the implementation of the policy. Post policy, many questions did not require students to consider the relevance of ethnicity but presented an increase in social and cultural contextual information of the patient over time. Conclusion: Policy implementation by the assessment committee led to less racist stereotyping and “othering” of Māori patients and prompted further refinement of social and cultural determinants of health over time. Future recommendations include increasing representation of Māori as a reflection of the increased burden of disease alongside representing intersectionality using other socio-cultural indicators.

Impacts of Acute Psychological Stress on the Emotions of Individuals with Early Life Stress.

The study aimed to evaluate negative and positive emotional responses to acute psychological stress in individuals with early life stress (ELS). One hundred sixty-one participants from the Birmingham community in Alabama completed the study and were stratified into 2 groups based on measurements of ELS using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and a confirmatory clinical interview. Acute psychological stress, that is, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), was administered, and emotional responses were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale. Comparisons utilized chi-square for categorical variables and t-test for continuous variables. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to compare the 2 groups after controlling for confounding variables. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate predictive power of variables for emotional responses to the TSST. Participants with ELS experienced less pleasantness at the baseline (P = .02), and 1 minute (P = .04), but not 90 minutes time points compared to the non-ELS group. Participants in the ELS group also reported higher anxiety at baseline (P = .003), and 90 minutes (P = .04) post-TSST. Data analysis showed the effect of time on emotional responses during the TSST. Different emotional responses, including pleasantness, anxiety, fatigue, and vigor, were able to be predicted by ELS severity. Our data demonstrates that individuals with ELS presented different positive and negative emotional responses when exposed to acute psychological stress. Our findings may be useful for clinicians who work with individuals with ELS. Our findings also highlight the importance of recognizing emotional responses and of building up resilience in response to acute stress.

Metaplastic neuromodulation via transcranial direct current stimulation has no effect on corticospinal excitability and neuromuscular fatigue

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation tool with potential for managing neuromuscular fatigue, possibly due to alterations in corticospinal excitability. However, inconsistencies in intra- and inter- individual variability responsiveness to tDCS limit its clinical use. Emerging evidence suggests harnessing homeostatic metaplasticity induced via tDCS may reduce variability and boost its outcomes, yet little is known regarding its influence on neuromuscular fatigue in healthy adults. We explored whether cathodal tDCS (ctDCS) prior to exercise combined with anodal tDCS (atDCS) could augment corticospinal excitability and attenuate neuromuscular fatigue. 15 young healthy adults (6 males, 22 ± 4 years) participated in four pseudo-randomised neuromodulation sessions: sham stimulation prior and during exercise, sham stimulation prior and atDCS during exercise, ctDCS prior and atDCS during exercise, ctDCS prior and sham stimulation during exercise. The exercise constituted an intermittent maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the right first dorsal interosseous (FDI) for 10 min. Neuromuscular fatigue was quantified as an attenuation in MVC force, while motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude provided an assessment of corticospinal excitability. MEP amplitude increased during the fatiguing exercise, whilst across time, force decreased. There were no differences in MEP amplitudes or force between neuromodulation sessions. These outcomes highlight the ambiguity of harnessing metaplasticity to ameliorate neuromuscular fatigue in young healthy individuals.

The assessment of therapist responsiveness in psychotherapy research: a systematic review.

Therapist responsiveness is an emerging construct in psychotherapy research that still lacks a clear definition and, consequently, a unique operationalization. Indeed, there is a great overlap between therapist responsiveness and other variables, such as attunement, flexibility, and empathy. This overlap inevitably hinders the assessment of the therapist's responsiveness, although it is crucial for the effectiveness of the treatments. Therefore, the current systematic review aims at exploring the different methodologies of measurement and analysis of therapist responsiveness, including both direct and indirect instruments. The results confirmed difficulties and divergences in the operationalization of the construct, as shown by the great heterogeneity found in the choice and use of the tools. Furthermore, this review provides guidance for future research, clinical practice, and training of therapists.

Random Responses of Shield Tunnel to New Tunnel Undercrossing Considering Spatial Variability of Soil Elastic Modulus

This paper investigates the effect of spatial variability of soil elastic modulus on the longitudinal responses of the existing shield tunnel to the new tunnel undercrossing using a random two-stage analysis method (RTSAM). The Timoshenko–Winkler-based deterministic method considering longitudinal variation in the subgrade reaction coefficient and the random field of the soil elastic modulus discretized by the Karhunen–Loeve expansion method are combined to establish the RTSAM. Then, the proposed RTSAM is applied to carry out a random analysis based on an actual engineering case. Results show that the increases in the scale of fluctuation and the coefficient of variation of the soil elastic modulus lead to higher variabilities of tunnel responses. A decreasing pillar depth and mean value of the soil elastic modulus and an increasing skew angle strengthen the effect of the spatial variability of the soil elastic modulus on tunnel responses. The variabilities of tunnel responses under the random field of the soil elastic modulus are overestimated by the Euler–Bernoulli beam model. The results of this study provide references for the uncertainty analysis of the new tunneling-induced responses of the existing tunnel under the random field of soil properties.

Neural populations within macaque early vestibular pathways are adapted to encode natural self-motion.

How the activities of large neural populations are integrated in the brain to ensure accurate perception and behavior remains a central problem in systems neuroscience. Here, we investigated population coding of naturalistic self-motion by neurons within early vestibular pathways in rhesus macaques (Macacca mulatta). While vestibular neurons displayed similar dynamic tuning to self-motion, inspection of their spike trains revealed significant heterogeneity. Further analysis revealed that, during natural but not artificial stimulation, heterogeneity resulted primarily from variability across neurons as opposed to trial-to-trial variability. Interestingly, vestibular neurons displayed different correlation structures during naturalistic and artificial self-motion. Specifically, while correlations due to the stimulus (i.e., signal correlations) did not differ, correlations between the trial-to-trial variabilities of neural responses (i.e., noise correlations) were instead significantly positive during naturalistic but not artificial stimulation. Using computational modeling, we show that positive noise correlations during naturalistic stimulation benefits information transmission by heterogeneous vestibular neural populations. Taken together, our results provide evidence that neurons within early vestibular pathways are adapted to the statistics of natural self-motion stimuli at the population level. We suggest that similar adaptations will be found in other systems and species.
