Embryo implantation is a complex and highly coordinated process that involves an intricate network of factors establishing intimate contact at the maternal-fetal interface. Knowledge of the human impl...
To translate and culturally adapt the Profile Fitness Mapping neck questionnaire (ProFitMap-neck) into the Chinese version and evaluate its psychometric properties....
The procedure of translation and cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to the recommended guidelines. A total of 220 patients with chronic neck pain (CNP) and 100 individuals without neck ...
The Chinese version of ProFitMap-neck (CHN-ProFitMap-neck) showed adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.88-0.95). A good test-retest reliability was proven by the intraclass correlation coef...
The CHN-ProFitMap-neck had acceptable psychometric properties and could be used as a reliable and valid instrument in the assessment of patients with chronic neck pain in mainland China....
The early diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is dependent on the specific and sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA. Herein, we develop ...
The importance of global competence has been acknowledged in medical care as well as medical education. This study aims to develop a scale assessing the global competence of medical students, determin...
A questionnaire (Global Competence Assessment Scale for Medical Students, MS-GCAS) was developed, and a cross-sectional multicenter survey was conducted in 1062 medical students from 10 medical school...
The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor scale. The MS-GCAS has good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.79 to 0.87). In the multivariate regression analyses, medical education s...
The MS-GCAS has the potential to serve as a tool to measure the global competence of medical students. This three-factor scale can be used by medical education researches to improve future versions. M...
Conducting routine mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia screening for older adults in the community is important, which not only can improve our understanding of these diseases but also can in...
To analyze the reliability and validity of the informant AD8 and explore the cut-off values for screening MCI and dementia in the community-dwelling older adults, this study adopted a multi-stage clus...
Among the 327 participants, 33.0% of them met the criteria of MCI, and 3.4% of them met the criteria of dementia. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the informant AD8 ...
This study suggests that the informant AD8 is an ideal and useful tool for dementia screening in community-dwelling older adults. However, it is less capable to distinguish older adults with MCI from ...
To evaluate the potential value of the machine learning (ML) models using radiomic features of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and cine images on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) along with relevant...
This retrospective study included 60 patients with the first STEMI. MACE consisted of new-onset congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, and cardiac death. Radiomic features were extracted fr...
Of the 1748 extracted radiomic features, 1393 showed good inter-observer agreement. With LASSO, 25 features were selected. Among the ML algorithms, the neural network showed the highest predictive per...
The radiomics-based ML models incorporating clinical and conventional MRI parameters are promising for predicting MACE occurrence in STEMI patients in the follow-up period....
• Acute coronary occlusion results in variable changes at the cellular level ranging from myocyte swelling to myonecrosis depending on the duration of the ischemia and the metabolic state of the heart...
Harmonization of assessment methods represents an ongoing challenge in physical activity research. Previous research has demonstrated the utility of calibration approaches to enhance agreement between...
Matching data from the GPAQ and MIMS were obtained from adults (20-80 yr of age) assessed in the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. After developing percentile curves for self...
Cross-validation of the model showed that it closely approximated the probability of reporting MVPA across age and activity-level segments, supporting the accuracy of the zero-inflated model component...
This study offers a method of improving activity surveillance by translating accelerometer signals into interpretable behavioral measures using nationally representative data. The model provides accur...
An increasing number of high school students are inflicted by different degrees of mental disorders in learning, such as moodiness, learning difficulties, test anxiety, difficulty coping with frustrat...
Although many instruments are used to assess the families of people with diabetes, their measurement properties have not been systematically reviewed. We aimed to identify and evaluate the psychometri...
A systematic literature review, according to the JBI systematic reviews of measurement properties, was conducted using different databases, including gray literature. PROSPERO registration number: CRD...
Eighty-one studies were included, and thirty-one eligible instruments were identified. The psychometric properties frequently assessed were structural validity, internal consistency, and construct val...
Although 31 instruments were included, none of their psychometric properties were scored as "very good". From the instruments scored as adequate on development and content validity, five stood out for...
Evidence-based treatments for depression exist but not all patients benefit from them. Efforts to develop predictive models that can assist clinicians in allocating treatments are ongoing, but there a...
A fully internet-based protocol was used to gather repeated observational data from patient cohorts receiving internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) (N = 600) or antidepressant medication...
Participant retention was 92% at week 3 and 84% for the final assessment. The relatively short study duration of 4 weeks was sufficient to reveal early treatment effects; there were significant reduct...
An internet-based methodology can be used efficiently to gather large amounts of detailed patient data during iCBT and antidepressant treatment. Recruitment was rapid, retention was relatively high an...
