Housing size, parental socioeconomic status, and associations with depressive symptoms among adolescents: a cross-sectional study in Guangzhou, China by Jiali Wang, Meng Sun, Liang Zhou

“…Restrictive cubic spline (RCS) was used to examine whether the relationship between per capita living space and depression was linear. Results Compared with adolescents living in a house with per capita living space less than 10 m2, those living in space of 10–20 m2, 20–30 m2 had significantly lower odds of depressive symptoms, with no significant association observed for space over 30 m2. …”

The physiological neocerebellar extinction syndrome likely exists for human handedness but not footedness – a study on healthy young adults by Martin Musálek, Chipo Malambo, Petr Kubový

“…In these falls, theoretically suggested hypotonia in non-dominant limbs was analysed through attenuation coefficients and frequency differences. Using a linear mixed model, we found significantly lower hand attenuation in the non-dominant hand-(β = 0.10, p < 0.001), showing hypotonia compared to the dominant hand regardless of upper limb side dominance. …”
