Randomized Controlled TrialAn fMRI study of cognitive remediation in drug-naïve subjects diagnosed with first episode schizophrenia.
The purpose of our functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was to examine brain activity using a "1-back" paradigm as working memory task in drug-naïve subjects with first episode schizophrenia before and after cognitive remediation training. ⋯ In this randomized study the number of activation clusters during a working memory task increased after cognitive remediation training. Our data show that neurobiological effects of cognitive remediation can be identified in the very early course of schizophrenia.

Optic nerve injury in preoperative imaging is associated with visual improvement outcome in endoscopic optic nerve decompression.
To evaluate potential clinical parameters having an impact on visual outcome after endoscopic optic nerve decompression in acute optic neuropathy patients. ⋯ Radiological findings can help as an indicator for surgical treatment since an affected optic nerve in preoperative neuroimaging resulted in better visual outcome after surgery. The use of steroids should be considered more carefully since it did not show any beneficial effect.

Impact of self-determination theory in a physiotherapeutic training : A pilot-study on motivation for movement of obese adolescents.
This study determined to what extent the underpinning of physiotherapeutic interventions with the evidence-based motivational psychological concept of the self-determination theory (SDT) by Ryan and Deci can increase motivation and enjoyment of movement in obese adolescents. ⋯ Digital technologies could be a successful way to further increase motivation and compliance of our target group. This MotiMove study is a basis for future research programs and empower physiotherapists and movement experts to develop and implement training programs for obese adolescents and children.

Observational StudyGender differences in examination behavior of 4th grade medical students : Results from an observational study on ECG e-learning.
Computer-assisted teaching is becoming increasingly more important to acquire new knowledge and skills in medical curricula. The consequence of gender-characteristic personality traits on academic performance in e‑learning examinations are difficult to forecast. This study investigated gender-related differences in examination behavior among undergraduate medical students taking a web-based quiz. ⋯ Gender-related differences in examination behavior already described for nononline based examinations are similarly observable in e‑learning. For this test, gender-immanent traits seem not to twist final examination results and impact academic performance.
