The Effect of Targeted Incentives on Response Rates and Representativeness: Evidence From the Next Steps Age 32 Survey

Survey Research Methods
This paper analyses the effect on response rate and non-response bias of tailoring the level of monetary incentives offered to participants in a longitudinal study, depending on sample members’ response propensity. Specifically, we test whether offering

Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

A data driven approach to address missing data in the 1970 British birth cohort

BMC Medical Research Methodology
Background Missing data may induce bias when analysing longitudinal population surveys. We aimed to tackle this problem in the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70). Methods We utilised a data-driven approach to address missing data issues in BCS70.

Knee extension rate of torque development and peak torque: associations with lower extremity function

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background With aging, the ability to generate muscle force decreases, contributing to declines in physical functions such as walking. While most studies assess muscle force by peak torque, the rate of torque development (RTD) reflects a dynamic ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.
