Higher standard deviation of MK in the rim was associated with lower grade (n=22 vs 8; U test, p=0.04) and in the MK maps we observed elevated rim-like structure that could be associated with grade. Higher median MK and lower median MK distinguished psammomatous type from other pooled meningioma types (n=5 vs 25; U test; p=0.03 for MK and p=0.03 and p=0.04 for MK ). Parameters from tensor-valued dMRI can facilitate prediction of consistency, grade and type. Parameters from tensor-valued dMRI can facilitate prediction of consistency, grade and type.Depression affects 8% of adults in America and is one of the leading causes of disability in Western countries. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) has previously been reported to be associated with inflammation and depression. However, no study to date has looked at the potential mediating effect of inflammation on the association of DII and depression. We hypothesized that the association of DII and depression would be both statistically and clinically mediated substantially by inflammation. We assessed these associations using the cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2010 database. Our analysis included 10,022 participants aged 20 years and older. Inflammation was assessed with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Diet was measured using two 24 hour dietary recalls. Depression was assessed using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), which has a score range of 0 to 27, with the higher score showing more severe depressive symptoms. Comparing the highest to lowest DII quartiles, the mean score difference for depression was 0.47 units (9
