Background: SATIS-Stroke questionnaire has been translated and adapted for use in the Brazilian population, however, it is necessary to test the measurement properties in Brazilian population.
Objective: To test the reliability, agreement, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy of the SATIS-Stroke.
Methods: Chronic stroke survivors were included. The calculations were made using scores in logits (Rasch Model). Reliability was tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), and Bland-Altman plots. Concurrent validity was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient. For such, the correlation between SATIS-Stroke and Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) questionnaires was determined. Diagnostic accuracy was estimated based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with a 95% confidence interval and considering the sensitivity and specificity of SATIS-Stroke in differentiating different types of activity and participation.
Results: Eighty stroke survivors were analyzed. Mean age was 57.98±13.85 years and 45.2% had severe impairment. Excellent reliability was found (intra-observer ICC = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.93; inter-observer ICC = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.83, 0.93). The Bland-Altman plot demonstrated satisfactory agreement. In the analysis of concurrent validity, a strong, positive, significant correlation was found between SATIS-Stroke and SS-QOL (r = 0.74; p <0.001 with an r=0.44; p=0.001). Diagnostic accuracy was satisfactory, with 80.8% sensitivity and 85.2% specificity.
Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire exhibited adequate reliability, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, this is a valid, reproducible measure for the assessment of satisfaction with regard to activities and participation following a stroke.

Goat milk is prized for its nutritional value, but the illegal addition of δ-decanolactone to enhance flavor poses risks to product integrity and safety. This study employed a tripartite multi-omics framework integrating metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics, combined with FTIR and CLSM to systematically elucidate the multifaceted effects of δ-decanolactone on goat milk. Chemometric and bioinformatic pipelines identified dysregulated molecules and pathways, while molecular docking validated interactions with key targets.

Concurrent recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals reveals cross-scale neurovascular dynamics crucial for explaining fundamental linkages between function and behaviors. However, MRI scanners generate artifacts for EEG detection. Despite existing denoising methods, cabled connections to EEG receivers are susceptible to environmental fluctuations inside MRI scanners, creating baseline drifts that complicate EEG signal retrieval from the noisy background.

Background: Approximately 69% of Americans with spinal cord injury (SCI) have neuropathic pain. Research suggests that impairments in mental body representations (MBRs; ie, representations of the body in the brain) likely contribute to neuropathic pain. Clinical trials in adults with SCI, focused on restoring MBR, led to improvements in sensation and movement as well as neuropathic pain relief.

This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for 28-day mortality in AKI patients with liver cirrhosis using the MIMIC-IV database.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 4,168 AKI patients, including 601 with concurrent liver cirrhosis, from the MIMIC-IV database.
