Article Abstract

The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) has been gaining increased attention as a sound and innovative instrument in its conceptualization of burnout. BAT has been adapted for several countries, revealing promising validity evidence. This paper aims to present the psychometric properties of the Brazilian and Portuguese versions of the BAT in both the 23-item and 12-item versions. BAT's validity evidence based on the internal structure (dimensionality, reliability, and measurement invariance) and validity evidence based on the relations to other variables are the focus of research. A cross-sectional study was conducted with two non-probabilistic convenience samples from two countries ( = 3103) one from Brazil ( = 2217) and one from Portugal ( = 886). BAT's original structure was confirmed, and it achieved measurement invariance across countries. Using both classic test theory and item response theory as frameworks, the BAT presented good validity evidence based on the internal structure. Furthermore, the BAT showed good convergent evidence (i.e., work engagement, co-worker support, role clarity, work overload, and negative change). In conclusion, the psychometric properties of the BAT make this freely available instrument a promising way to measure and compare burnout levels of Portuguese and Brazilian workers.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of subscapularis tears remains challenging due to the limitations of physical examinations and imaging techniques. Therefore, specific radiological parameters have been proposed as predictors of atraumatic subscapularis tears to improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy. These parameters include coracohumeral distance (CHD), coracoglenoid angle (CGA), coracoid angle (CA), coracoid overlap (CO), and coracohumeral angle (CHA).

It has become evident from decades of clinical trials that multimodal therapeutic approaches with focus on cell intrinsic and microenvironmental cues are needed to improve understanding and treat the rare, inoperable, and ultimately fatal diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), now categorized as a diffuse midline glioma. In this study we report the development and characterization of an in vitro system utilizing 3D Tumor Tissue Analogs (TTA), designed to replicate the intricate DIPG microenvironment. The innate ability of fluorescently labeled human brain endothelial cells, microglia, and patient-derived DIPG cell lines to self-assemble has been exploited to generate multicellular 3D TTAs that mimic tissue-like microstructures, enabling an in- depth exploration of the spatio-temporal dynamics between neoplastic and stromal cells.

Background: The prevalence of obesity and associated diseases, including several cancers, continues to rise.

Objective: Given the growing evidence that the degree of food processing impacts health, we investigated the relationship between the degree of food processing and the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORC).

Methods: We analyzed data from 17,756 participants in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) project, a prospective cohort of Spanish graduates.

Evaluation of Kienböck's Disease through Distal Radius Sagittal Plane Analysis.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res

September 2025

Ankara University Medical Faculty, Orthopedics and Traumatology Department, Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Division, Ankara, Turkey.

Background: Kienböck's disease poses challenges in plate placement during radial shortening osteotomy due to steep metaphyseal inclinations of the distal radius. While coronal plane analyses have been extensively studied, sagittal plane deformities remain underexplored. This study addresses the anatomical variations in the sagittal plane associated with Kienböck's disease.
