Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in psychosis and healthy controls: Predicting working memory capacity across different tasks by Orestis Papaioannou, Kailey Clark, Nicole N Ogbuagu, Steven M Silverstein, Judy L Thompson, Molly A Erickson

“…Here, we assess whether cortical theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling is related to working memory deficits in patients with psychosis, and whether any group differences observed in this neural measure are specifically related to group differences in working memory performance or instead reflect more general differences in brain dynamics. To address these issues, we collected 61-channel EEG data from 32 psychiatric patients with psychosis (including patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder with psychotic features) and 35 age-matched healthy controls, and calculated the Phase Locking Value, a measure of theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling across three tasks: a working memory task (Active WM+), a visual search task (Active WM−), and a passive viewing task (Passive WM−). …”

Estimating the Significance of Computer Model Factors Based on a Simple Neural Network by Volodymyr Pepelyaev, Nataliia Oriekhova, Ihor Lukyanov

“…Since the initial weights of the neural network are chosen randomly, the results of different runs on the same set of data are slightly different. Therefore, in the general case of evaluating the significance of factors of a computer model, several runs must be made to obtain more reliable results.…”

Muscle health in ankylosing spondylitis: effects of disease duration, inflammation, education level, and spinal mobility on skeletal muscle atrophy by Jiawen Hu, Yiwen Wang, Zhimeng Yu, Yinan Zhang, Xiaojian Ji, Lulu Zeng, Jiaxin Zhang, Shiwei Yang, Kunpeng Li, Jian Zhu, Jianglin Zhang, Yinghua Liu, Feng Huang

“…Logistic regression analysis revealed that AS patients who had a longer disease duration, lower level of education, elevated inflammatory markers, and a higher Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) were more likely to experience a decrease in ASMI. Regarding the muscle strength, lower education level and higher Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index were correlated with a reduced grip strength in individuals with AS. …”
