Article Abstract
In this study we examined attention-related reaction time (RT) and intra-individual variability (IIV) in younger and older adults using an iPad-based visual search test, in which, for each trial, participants were required to sequentially press a series of on-screen stimuli numbered from 1 to 8. Although overall performance RT was significantly slower, with greater IIV for the older compared to the younger adult group, there was also a disproportionately slowed RT and greater IIV for the first item in the series compared to all other responses within the trial. When the response to the first stimulus was removed from statistical analysis, the significant age-related RT slowing effect remained, but IIV was no longer significantly greater for the older compared to the younger adults. This pattern of results reveals a dichotomy between the preservation of RT and IIV in aging, and one that is strongly related to research methodology. A finding that may account, at least in part, for the outcome heterogeneity in the study of IIV in aging.

Serum progesterone variability on embryo transfer day in hormone replacement therapy cycles using intramuscular injections during frozen embryo transfers.
J Assist Reprod Genet
September 2025
Bahçeci Fulya IVF Center, Infertility Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: To assess the intra-individual variability of serum progesterone (P) levels on embryo transfer (ET) day, when the same dose of intramuscular progesterone (IM-P) was used in two consecutive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Methods: A total of 75 patients undergoing two consecutive HRT-FET cycles in one year performed at Bahceci Ankara IVF Center between November 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Serum P levels were measured at the 117th-119th hours of support by a single laboratory.
Hair analysis for monitoring adherence to inhaled respiratory medications: possibilities and limitations.
Eur J Clin Pharmacol
September 2025
Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology, University of Groningen, and University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Non-adherence to inhaled medication poses a significant clinical and economic burden on patients with respiratory diseases. This narrative review provides an overview of key aspects of hair analysis, in general and specific for inhaled medications, and explores the potential of hair analysis as a novel tool to monitor adherence to inhaled medications.
Methods: PubMed searches were conducted to explore four aspects: (1) mechanisms of (inhaled) drug's systemic absorption and deposition in hair; (2) quantification of drugs in hair; (3) factors impacting (inhaled) drug hair concentrations; and (4) clinical studies assessing inhaled medication adherence through hair analysis.

Background: Children with conduct problems vary considerably in how they respond to behavioral interventions. Although group-based, child-focused programs are increasingly implemented, research still relies on retrospective parent or teacher reports and group-level outcomes. These traditional approaches often obscure individual differences in treatment response and reduce the potential for individualized behavioral support tailored to each child's unique profile.

Early detection is a critical issue in dementia prevention. This study utilizes intra-individual variability in reaction time (IIV-RT) as an indicator of cognitive function. By analyzing data over a one-year period, we examine the association between IIV-RT and the Japanese version of the Montreal Test of Cognitive Abilities (MoCA-J), a cognitive screening test.

To understand how academic procrastination, anxiety, and smartphone addiction are related, as well as the mechanisms underlying these relationships, this study constructed a mediation model to investigate the influence of college students' anxiety on their academic procrastination and the mediating effect of smartphone addiction. The study randomly selected 306 students from a university in Jiangxi Province and conducted a 10-day diary follow-up using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, Academic Procrastination Scale and Anxiety Scale to capture daily dynamic data and distinguish between two-level effects. According to correlation analyses, academic procrastination was significantly impacted negatively by anxiety and significantly positively by smartphone addiction at the inter-individual level.
