Article Abstract
Aim: To validate the Korean version of the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (K-FPAS) and assess its reliability in evaluating the acceptance of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) among Korean patients.
Design: A methodological research study was conducted to develop and validate the K-FPAS as a valuable tool for assessing ICD acceptance and its related factors in the Korean patient population.
Methods: A total of 243 participants, aged 18 years and older, who had received ICDs within the past year and were regularly monitored by cardiac specialists, were included in the study. The K-FPAS was meticulously translated and underwent expert validation, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis to establish its construct validity. Content validity was confirmed by seven experts, and concurrent validity was examined using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. The reliability of the K-FPAS was assessed for internal consistency.
Results: The K-FPAS demonstrated robust content and construct validity, consisting of 15 items organised into four subdomains: "Return to Life," "Device-Related Distress," "Positive Appraisal," and "Body Image Concerns."
Conclusion: The K-FPAS is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating ICD acceptance among Korean patients. It provides a robust methodological framework for exploring the multidimensional facets of ICD acceptance, particularly highlighting the significance of psychological and emotional well-being. This tool demonstrates considerable potential for advancing nursing research and guiding evidence-based interventions to enhance ICD acceptance and improve the overall quality of life for ICD recipients.
Patient Or Public Contribution: Patients contributed to this study by providing responses on the study questionnaires, and five hospitals supported the data collection process by providing suitable facilities for interviews and questionnaires. This research aims to benefit patients and improve their well-being through better ICD acceptance assessment and support.

ICD-11 "by the people for the people": The open feedback proposal platform.

World Health Organisation, Switzerland.
Background: ICD-11's digital architecture and granularity distinguish it from previous revisions and expand its applicability beyond mortality statistics and public health. The official ICD-11 version is updated annually. However, a separate online Maintenance Platform is continuously updated and hosts the Proposal Platform: a novel online tool that enables interested parties from all over the world to contribute to ICD-11 content.

Background: Although a recently developed wideband perfusion sequence has shown diagnostically acceptable image quality and accurate myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification at rest in patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices (CIEDs), its performance during vasodilator stress remains unproven. This study aims to determine whether the sequence produces diagnostically acceptable image quality during stress and is capable of quantitatively detecting abnormal stress MBF and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in patients with implanted cardiodefibrillators (ICDs).
Methods: We enrolled 29 patients with an ICD (mean age = 63 ± 15 years, 17 males, 12 females) and 11 control patients (mean age = 50 ± 17 years, 6 males, 5 females; negative coronary artery disease; negative stress perfusion CMR; and no cardiac event one year post CMR) with an ICD taped below the left clavicle to mimic image artifacts.
ICD-11 Diagnosis of Body Integrity Dysphoria: A Case Report.
Case Rep Psychiatry
August 2025
Mental Health Liaison Team, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, UK.
Body integrity dysphoria (BID) is a rare disorder, in which individuals experience a persistent desire to become physically disabled, often through limb amputation. It is now included within the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11), and this is one of the first case reports to describe the application of these new diagnostic criteria. This also raises the question of treatment pathways for individuals with the disorder, with recognition bringing legitimacy to patients' experience, and responsibility to professionals.

Background: Substance use significantly contributes to disease burden among Australians, with harms exacerbated among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by colonisation-related factors like stigma and trauma. Addressing this gap requires culturally acceptable, valid and reliable screening tools, available in a familiar language to the participant, to identify and provide support for those at-risk. This protocol describes a study aimed at validating a culturally-adapted screening tool - the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) - into Pitjantjatjara, to detect risk of substance-related harm.

Objective: Variation in outcomes following radical prostatectomy and inclusion of prostate cancer surgery metrics in hospital ratings signal need for procedure-specific quality improvement (QI) efforts. We hypothesized that a novel electronic medical record (EMR)-based, automated algorithm-driven algorithm for surgical outcomes and quality metrics following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) would demonstrate >90% sensitivity and specificity and significant inter-rater reliability (IRR) with National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) abstraction.
Study Design: We developed an algorithm to automatically abstract RALP outcomes and quality metrics retrospectively from the EMR.
