The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a functional movement assessment method to observe movement restrictions in individuals with known musculoskeletal disorders, although it has als...
The present paper aimed to evaluate the applicability of SFMA in a clinical setting and to verify whether a student can correctly perform it....
An introductory and explanatory email was sent to the subjects, containing the instructions needed to produce a video with SFMA evaluation movements. SFMA methodology was then used to analyze the rece...
Twenty-eight subjects (17.71 ± 1.96 years aged) were rated. The functional non-painful scenario (FN) has been assigned more frequently by all raters. The student's intra-rater reliability proved to be...
The results of this study showed SFMA intra-rater reliability to be moderate, while inter-rater reliability can be considered good. These characteristics make it a valuable tool for sport's needs, eve...
Sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) can be added to fresh milk to enhance the sterilization ability of the lactoperoxidase system (LP system) in milk, extending shelf life. However, excessive intake of NaSCN c...
Patients with persistent somatic symptoms (PSS) experience stigmatising attitudes and behaviours by healthcare professionals. While previous research has focussed on individual manifestations of PSS r...
A systematic review using six databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Open Grey and EThOS). The search strategy combined three search strings related to healthcare professionals, PSS and stigma. ...
We identified 90 publications that met the inclusion criteria using 62 questionnaire measurement instruments. Stereotypes were explored in 92% of instruments, prejudices in 52% of instruments, and dis...
No instrument provided acceptable evidence on all measurement properties. Many instruments were developed for use within a single publication, with little evidence of their development or establishmen...
Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) measures liver fibrosis and inflammation but requires several breath-holds that hamper clinical acceptance. The aim of this study was to ev...
From November 2020 to December 2021, subjects were prospectively enrolled and divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included healthy volunteers (n = 10) who served as controls to compare the single breath-ho...
For the 10 controls, 5 were female, and the mean age and body mass index were 33.1 ± 9.5 years and 23.0 ± 2.1 kg/m 2 , respectively. For the 10 participants, 8 were female, and the mean age and body m...
The single breath-hold 3D MRE sequence may be effective in measuring liver fibrosis and inflammation in obese patients....
To compare the radiological findings of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (IRP) and COVID-19 pneumonia, evaluating the potential of the CO-RADS score to differentiate between them....
Two readers blindly reviewed chest CTs from age- and sex-matched groups of 33 patients with IRP and 33 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Each examiner evaluated the presence of 13 CT features, semiqua...
Substantial or higher inter-reader reliability was found in CO-RADS assignments (κ = 0.664) and in the evaluation of CT features (κ ≥ 0.638), among which the sole feature found to significantly differ...
CT features of IRP and COVID-19 pneumonia frequently overlap, save for the extent of lung involvement and bilaterality. In the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the low specificity of the CO-RADS score for...
The Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) is a relatively new dimensional model of personality disorders (PDs) that assesses two diagnostic constructs: personality functioning and patholog...
Implicit bias among maternal healthcare professionals contributes to disrespectful care and racial and ethnic disparities in patient outcomes, and there is growing consensus that implicit bias trainin...
This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess implicit bias awareness and mitigation practices among maternal care professionals and that can be used to evaluate interventions ...
We conducted an instrument development and validation study in 3 phases. In phase 1, item development, we generated a 43-item bank from literature and consultation and established content validity wit...
Based on phase 2 results, we retained 23 items for the Bias in Maternal Health Care scale, which showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, 0.86). We identified 3 subscales, namely a 9-item B...
We developed a reliable and valid instrument for measuring awareness and mitigation of bias among maternal healthcare professionals. It can be used to evaluate implicit bias training and other bias mi...
This study aimed to compare body composition (BC) measurements obtained by three widely used BC measuring methods, air displacement plethysmography (ADP), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and du...
We used three BC measuring methods to evaluate healthy Chinese children and adolescents aged 5-17 years with BMI categories ranging from underweight to obese. Fat mass (FM, kg), fat mass percentage (F...
A total of 172 Chinese children and adolescents were included in this study. The agreements for FM, FFM and ASM estimated by the three methods were excellent or good at the population level (intraclas...
Body fat and FFM obtained by the three commonly used methods were highly correlated, but systematically different and influenced by BMI. This study provided a basis for mutual reference of measurement...
Family resilience is an important protective factor mitigating the negative impact of adversities on individuals and families. As there are very few validated measures of family resilience in the Chin...
Immuno-specific enrichment of extracellular vesicles (EVs) can provide important information into cellular pathways underpinning various pathologies and for non-invasive diagnostics, including mass sp...
