Article Abstract
Background: The PM-Scale was developed specifically to assess participation in individuals after stroke based on the concepts contained in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. However, this measure is only available in English and French.
Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the PM-Scale to Brazilian Portuguese, followed by the validation and testing of reliability of the translated version.
Methods: The translation process followed standard guidelines. Preliminary test-retest reliability was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The Rasch model was employed to analyse the validity, unidimensionality, invariance, and internal consistency of the Brazilian version of the PM-Scale.
Results: The final translated version of the PM-Scale presented appropriate semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalence. The preliminary analysis revealed excellent intra-observer and inter-observer reliability (ICC = 0.91; 95%CI: 0.83, 0.95 and ICC = 0.81; 95%CI: 0.64, 0.89, respectively). The analysis of the Rasch model revealed only one erratic item. An excellent overall fit was found for items (mean ± SD = 0.01 ± 1.02) and adequate fit was found for persons (mean ± SD = 1.16 ± 0.88). Internal consistency was considered adequate (person separation index = 1.77, reliability = 0.76). No significant invariance was found with regards to the personal characteristics of the sample (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the PM-Scale is a valid, unidimensional, linear, reliable scale for measuring participation in stroke survivors and can be administered in less than five minutes.

Objectives: This study aimed to translate the Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Score into Brazilian Portuguese, adapting it culturally and validating it semantically.
Methods: The process followed international guidelines for translation, back-translation, cultural adaptation, and semantic validation, involving a committee of specialists and a pre-test with 10 Brazilian pediatric patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction (mean age: 11 years). Participants were divided into two groups, depending on whether they used transanal irrigation for intestinal management.

The importance of integrating palliative care (PC) competencies into the management of neurological diseases is increasingly acknowledged. The National Medical Residency Program Commission (NMRPC) mandates the inclusion of PC in the curricula of neurology residency programs (NRPs).To evaluate the implementation of PC training in NRPs across Brazil and to identify barriers to its effective integration.

Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic, multisystemic, and neurodevelopmental disorder. The prevalence of auditory hypersensitivity in WS is high, especially in childhood, with reports in the literature from 94 to 100% of individuals evaluated, which can generate significant impacts on their quality of life. Therefore, the existence of instruments for screening hyperacusis that are easy and quick to apply for use in clinical routine is essential.

Introduction: Excessive and compulsive behaviors, including substance and behavioral addictions, represent a growing global concern. In Brazil, the increasing prevalence of these behaviors underscores the need for effective screening tools to identify individuals at risk. The Brief Screener for Substance and Behavioral Addiction (SSBA) has been recognized internationally for its utility in both clinical assessment and public health surveillance.
