Neural Correlates of Irritability and Potential Moderating Effects of Inhibitory Control by Mariah DeSerisy, Jacob W. Cohen, Huiyu Yang, Bruce Ramphal, Paige Greenwood, Kahini Mehta, Michael P. Milham, Theodore D. Satterthwaite, David Pagliaccio, Amy E. Margolis

“…Methods: We hypothesized that higher irritability scores would be associated with less positive (or negative) connectivity between cognitive control and threat-processing circuits and between cognitive control and reward-processing circuits in the Healthy Brain Network dataset (release 10.0; N = 4135). We also hypothesized that these associations would be moderated by inhibitory control such that weaker associations between irritability and connectivity would be detected in youths with better than with worse inhibitory control. …”

The Relationship between Intramuscular Adipose Tissue, Functional Mobility, and Strength in Postmenopausal Women with and without Type 2 Diabetes by Janet M. Pritchard, Sarah Karampatos, Karen A. Beattie, Lora M. Giangregorio, George Ioannidis, Stephanie A. Atkinson, Lehana Thabane, Hertzel Gerstein, Zubin Punthakee, Jonathan D. Adachi, Alexandra Papaioannou

“…IntraMAT was related to TUG and grip strength, but the relationships became nonsignificant after adjustment for covariates (difference/percent IntraMAT [95% CI]: TUG = 0.041 seconds [−0.079–0.161], P=0.498, grip strength = −0.144 kg [−0.335–0.066], P=0.175). Conclusions. IntraMAT alone may not be a clinically important predictor of functional mobility and strength; however, whether losses in functional mobility and strength are promoted by IntraMAT accumulation should be explored.…”
