Article Abstract

Objectives: The increasing number of total hip arthroplasties (THA) has led to increased patient demands and expectations, making it crucial to assess patients' ability to "forget" their implants in daily life. This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of a Persian version of the Forgotten Joint Score (P-FJS) in THA patients.

Methods: The questionnaire was translated bidirectionally with the permission of the questionnaire designer. Data were collected from 2018 to 2020 and included 142 patients who had undergone THA by the same surgeon at least one year ago. Participants completed the FJS questionnaire twice within a one-week interval, and the validity, reliability, and feasibility of the questionnaires were assessed using statistical tests on the HHS and OHS forms completed by all participants.

Results: In 142 patients (52.1% male) with a mean age of 65 ± 0.5 years who answered the questionnaires, P-FJS correlated strongly with OHS and HHS. The internal consistency (α = 0.91) and reproducibility of the questionnaire were excellent. None of the floor and ceiling effects were detected.

Conclusion: The P-FJS questionnaire in the THA is considered a legitimate, repeatable, and self-administered survey that can be compared to its English-language counterpart. In addition, it is noteworthy that this version does not show any floor or ceiling effects.

Self-efficacy and anatomical knowledge have been shown to be important in the development of medical students. Validated instruments designed to measure the construct of anatomical self-efficacy during the clinical years of medical school are limited. In this study, the Anatomical Self-Efficacy Instrument for Clinical Clerkships (ASEI-CC) was developed, and evidence for the reliability of the scores and the validity of the interpretations of the scores was gathered.

Background: Brief measures of 24-hour movement behaviors are needed to easily evaluate their durations. The present study investigated the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a brief self-report instrument to assess 24-hour movement behaviors.

Methods: A paper-based self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sleep, sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with four items in 35 healthy adults.

The global emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the need for rapid, sensitive, and affordable diagnostic tools, not only for human health but also for animal surveillance within a One Health framework. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a SYBR Green-based real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 from animal samples, focusing on domestic dogs and cats. A total of 140 oropharyngeal swab samples were collected and analyzed using primers targeting a 139-bp fragment of the N gene of SARS-CoV-2.
