Introduction: The goal of the present study was to develop a short version (SV) of the Quality of Life Relevance-Acne (QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE) based on the identified most relevant items for acne patients.
Methods: Members of the international internet group for acne patients were asked to fill in the short prototype version of the QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: The answers of 684 acne patients were collected. The analysis revealed that the internal consistency of the instrument could be improved by removing a single item. That item was removed and the final four-item short version of the QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE-SV was formed. There is minimal or no overlapping of the QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE-SV with other brief forms of acne-specific HRQoL instruments.
Conclusion: The four-item QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE-SV questionnaire was developed and showed good internal consistency. An international validation study of the QOLRELEVANCE-ACNE-SV will be performed.

Background: Mental health issues among middle school students are closely associated with life events and childhood trauma experiences. However, the interactive pathways among these three factors remain unclear. Based on network analysis, this study constructs a network model to identify core nodes (high-intensity symptoms) and bridge nodes (cross-group associated symptoms), aiming to reveal their interaction mechanisms and provide a foundation for targeted interventions in adolescent mental health.

As patients with cardiovascular disease age, the need for cardiogeriatric care grows. Therefore, we aimed to identify facilitators and hindrances to the implementation of cardiogeriatric care by analysing geriatric recommendations content and acceptance rates. This retrospective cohort study included 100 patients aged > 85 years who received geriatric consultation and were admitted to a cardiology department.

The robotic approach to liver and pancreatic surgery is expanding worldwide. However, limited data are available on vascular management in these complex procedures. The unique characteristics of the robotic platform may enhance the feasibility of minimally invasive vascular resection and reconstruction.

This article contributes to the literature by (a) providing evidence of benefits of awe-inspiring interventions for a vulnerable population (i.e., residents of a homeless shelter), (b) reporting the development and validation of two new psychometric instruments that fill a significant void in the assessment of awe, and (c) providing recommendations for future research examining the use of these new instruments in assessing awe in vulnerable populations.
