Article Abstract

Background And Aims: Validated questionnaires help to minimize diagnostic bias, to standardize symptom assessment and to achieve comparability between studies and centers. In a recent European guideline the adult and the pediatric carbohydrate perception questionnaires (aCPQ and pCPQ), were recommended to be used for the diagnosis of carbohydrate intolerances in adult and pediatric patients. The implementation of this guideline into clinical practice makes availability of validated translations a necessity.

Methods: Clinical experts who recognized the need for these questionnaires to be available in their own language participated in the translation process. The tasks were assigned and a workflow following a predefined procedure based on recommendations of the Rome foundation was developed. The procedure had 5 phases: foundation, nomination, translation, revision, cognitive debriefing.

Results: Within eight months the aCPQ was translated into Bulgarian, French, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Russian and Slovenian language and the pCPQ into Dutch, French and Romanian. This expands the population which can be served with the aCPQ from 160 million to over 500 million Europeans. The reach of pCPQ expanded from 92 million to 193 million Europeans.

Conclusions: We report the development and implementation of a centrally organized process of translation of validated questionnaires, following a predefined procedure based on recommendations of the Rome foundation. This structured procedure may aid future efforts to standardize and harmonize the translation of validated questionnaires.

The present protocol evaluates the relative impact of visual and vestibular inputs during roll plane rotations using optokinetic, vestibular, and combined visuovestibular stimulations. Subjects underwent isolated visual rotations, whole-body vestibular rotations in darkness, and visuovestibular stimulations combining static visual scenes with head rotations. Dynamic and static eye movement gains, absolute amplitudes, velocities, and accelerations were measured alongside perceptual responses.

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods in hepatology have proliferated since the mid-2010s, with numerous publications and some regulatory approvals. Yet, adoption of AI methods in real-world clinical practice and clinical research remains limited. Despite clear benefits of using AI to analyze complex data types in hepatology, such as histopathology, radiology images, multi-omics and more recently, natural language patient data, there are still substantial barriers and challenges to its integration into routine clinical workflows.

Bacterial persisters are a subpopulation of cells that exhibit a transient non-susceptible phenotype in the presence of bactericidal antibiotic concentrations. This phenotype can lead to the survival and regrowth of bacteria after treatment, resulting in relapse of infections. It is also a contributing factor to antibacterial resistance.

Thyroid cancer, a prevalent endocrine malignancy, is influenced by its tumor microenvironment (TME), with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) playing a pivotal role in disease progression. Molecularly, CAFs orchestrate a pro-tumorigenic niche via cytokine secretion and extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening, underscoring their targetability. Therapeutic strategies, including small molecule inhibitor-based therapies, immune-based therapies, nanoparticle-based approaches, and combination regimens, have been evaluated for their efficacy in disrupting CAF functionality.
