Article Abstract
Background: Recently, the Standardised Tool for the Assessment of Bruxism (STAB) has been developed for use in clinical and research settings.
Objectives: The aim of the present study is to describe the process of forward and back translation and pilot testing of the STAB into Italian.
Methods: The English version of the STAB was adopted as a template for translation into other languages, according to a step-by-step procedure led by the expert STAB bruxism panel and mother tongue experts in the field. In detail, the translation team was made up of 12 subjects: three study coordinators, two forward translators, two back-translators and five expert panellists. Following the translation process, a pilot test in patients, dentists and dental students was performed using the 'probing' method (i.e., subjects were questioned by the examiners about the perceived content and interpretation of the items) with the aim to assess the comprehensibility of the questions and response options, and the feasibility of the tool.
Results: This paper describes the translation process of the STAB and provides the outcomes of the pilot testing phase and the face validity assessment. The preliminary results suggest that, from a global point of view, the STAB reflects the characteristics required in clinical and research settings.
Conclusion: Thanks to the translation process, the Italian version of the STAB can be assessed on-field and introduced in the clinical and research field to get deeper into the study of bruxism epidemiology in Italy.

Purpose: Recent immunotherapy trials in locally advanced cervical cancer report high PD-L1 positivity rates whereas academic multicentric initiatives report a lower PD-L1 positivity. These observations necessitate cross-clone comparison to understand the observed differences.
Methods: Two different clones used in previous multicentric international studies SP142 (BIOEMBRACE) and 22C3 (KEYNOTE-A18) were used to test PD-L1 positivity in a pilot cohort of FIGO 2018 stage III cervical cancer patients recruited in a phase III trial.

Background: Depression disproportionately affects individuals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Economic hardship and family strain exacerbate challenges, particularly for women. This study evaluated effects of Mlambe, an intervention targeting economic empowerment and relationship strengthening, on mental health in couples with HIV and unhealthy alcohol use in Malawi.

Background: Family-school partnerships (FSPs) play an important role in supporting child health and well-being. The current study aimed to develop and validate a psychometrically sound instrument to assess FSPs within the context of child health.
Methods: The instrument was developed through a mixed-methods three-phased approach, including pilot testing with 105 parent/caregiver (n = 53) and school staff (n = 52) participants.
Molecular genetics and therapeutic development for GNE myopathy.

Department of Neuromuscular Research, National Institute of Neuroscience, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry (NCNP), Tokyo, Japan.
GNE myopathy is an autosomal recessive distal myopathy resulting from biallelic pathogenic variants in the GNE gene, a key enzyme in sialic acid biosynthesis. Although most pathogenic variants are missense variants, recent advances have enabled the identification of copy number variations, deep intronic variants, and regulatory changes in the promoter region, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Progress in genetic diagnostics now allows detection of rare and complex variants.

Background: This Innovation Report describes the feasibility and impact of an intervention focused on community-based social support to address social determinants of health (SDoH).
Methods: This study followed adult patients (N = 12) referred by primary care teams at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) due to unresolved SDoH needs. Over 12 months, community volunteers (the Open Table Network Table) were paired with patients to address their primary SDoH needs.
