Article Abstract
Integrating both the positive youth development and resilience science frameworks, this study developed and validated an instrument for assessing the individual strengths and environmental supports that promote positive development for rural, left-behind youth (LBY) in China. Following an exploratory sequential design, we first conducted 22 in-depth interviews (13 teachers and nine LBY) to inform the creation of survey items. We then conducted exploratory factor analyses on a sample of 606 LBY (48.7% were male, M = 13.59 years), followed by confirmatory factor analyses and an assessment of reliability and criterion validity with a sample of 1076 LBY (43.3% were male, M = 13.08 years). The newly developed instrument contains two scales: the Individual Strengths (IS) scale that measures seven individual strengths, and the Environmental Supports (ES) scale that measures eight environmental supports. Both scales demonstrated good reliability and validity. This study expands our understanding of how to promote positive adjustment among rural LBY and yields an important research tool that policy makers, educational practitioners, and youth workers can use to inform practices and policies that promote healthy development among youth impacted by prolonged parental migration.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and diminishes quality of life. Backward walking exercise (BWE) has been shown to improve lower muscle strength and reduce knee adduction moment, making it a recommended intervention for knee OA rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BWE combined with conventional rehabilitation programs on pain intensity and disability among individuals with knee OA.

This document focuses on cervical ripening in individuals with term, singleton, vertex pregnancies with membranes intact, because this is the population in whom most studies were conducted. For more information on recommended timing of delivery based on maternal, fetal, and obstetric conditions and on labor management, refer to: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee Opinion No.

Latent profile analysis (LPA) is in the finite mixture model analysis family and identifies subgroups by participants' responses to continuous variables (i.e., indicators); participants' probable membership in each subgroup is based on the similarity between the subgroup's prototypical responses and the person's unique responses.

Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the focal relationship between choroidal thickness and retinal sensitivity in myopic eyes.
Methods: Participants underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging and microperimetry testing. Choroidal thicknesses were obtained by segmenting the SS-OCT scans using a deep-learning approach.
