Causal Mediation Analysis with a Binary Mediator: The Influence of the Estimation Approach and Causal Contrast
TL;DR: In this paper , the difference between the causal estimation approaches for mediation models with a binary mediator was compared using a Monte Carlo simulation study and an empirical data example, and the results underlined the importance of choosing an estimation approach that provides estimates of the causal effect of interest.
Good generalizability of a prediction rule for prediction of persistent shoulder pain in the short term.
Ton Kuijpers,Ton Kuijpers,Geert J. M. G. van der Heijden,Yvonne Vergouwe,Jos W. R. Twisk,A Joan P Boeke,Lex M. Bouter,Daniëlle A W M van der Windt,Daniëlle A W M van der Windt +8 more
TL;DR: The prediction rule for the short-term (6 weeks) prognosis showed good generalizability and the predictionrule for the long-term prognosis showing poor generalizabilities were evaluated.
Disrupted brain network topology in Parkinson's disease: a longitudinal magnetoencephalography study.
Kim T. E. Olde Dubbelink,Arjan Hillebrand,Diederick Stoffers,Jan Berend Deijen,Jos W. R. Twisk,Cornelis J. Stam,Henk W. Berendse +6 more
TL;DR: It is observed that brain networks in early stage untreated patients displayed lower local clustering with preserved path length in the delta frequency band in comparison to controls, and impaired local efficiency and network decentralization are very early features of Parkinson's disease that continue to progress over time.
Cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease is associated with slowing of resting-state brain activity: a longitudinal study
Kim T. E. Olde Dubbelink,Diederick Stoffers,Jan Berend Deijen,Jos W. R. Twisk,Cornelis J. Stam,Henk W. Berendse +5 more
TL;DR: The present longitudinal study revealed widespread progressive slowing of oscillatory brain activity in initially nondemented PD patients, independent of aging effects, and holds promise as an early marker for the development of dementia in PD.
A longitudinal study on risk factors for neck and shoulder pain among young adults in the transition from technical school to working life.

TL;DR: Increased neck and shoulder pain was found in the transition from technical school to working life, and both work-related and individual factors were associated with pain development.
