Neurobehavioral mechanisms of fear and anxiety in multiple sclerosis by Lil Meyer-Arndt, Rebekka Rust, Judith Bellmann-Strobl, Tanja Schmitz-Hübsch, Lajos Marko, Sofia Forslund, Michael Scheel, Stefan M. Gold, Stefan Hetzer, Friedemann Paul, Martin Weygandt

“…The fact that a machine learning model trained to associate fMRI fear response patterns with fear ratings in HPs predicts fear ratings from fMRI data across MS groups using an MVPA cross-decoding approach suggests that generic fear processing mechanisms substantially contribute to anxiety in MS.…”

Comparison of Microbiological Profiles of Primary Hip and Knee Peri-Prosthetic Joint Infections Treated at Specialist Centers Around the World by Emin Suha Dedeogullari, Pablo Slullitel, Isabel Horton, Bulent Atilla, Saif Salih, Paul Monk, Ahmet Mazhar Tokgozoglu, Michael Goplen, Bonita Tsang, Martin Buljubasich, Hesham Abdelbary, Simon Garceau, George Grammatopoulos

“…However, most studies are limited to single-center or intra-country multicenter analyses, often including mixed cohorts of primary and revision PJI cases, with limited data regarding global antibiotic resistance patterns. This study compared the microbiological characteristics, polymicrobial culture rates, prevalence of culture-negative infections, and antibiotic resistance patterns in PJI cases across five referral centers from five continents. …”

Mortality atlas of the main causes of death for the elderly population (≥75 years) in Switzerland during 2010–2020 by Taru Singhal, Kaja Widmer, Anton Beloconi, Suzanne Dhaini, Matthias Schwenkglenks, Cordula Blohm, Rolf Weitkunat, Sabina De Geest, Penelope Vounatsou

“…RESULTS: Language regions are associated with mortality rates for many causes of death. In particular, the French-and Italian-speaking regions are associated with a lower burden of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes compared to German-speaking Switzerland, but this is offset by increased rates of certain cancers. …”
