Introduction: Psychometric properties of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Profile 29 (PROMIS-29) Norwegian version has previously been examined in a general population. This multicenter study aimed to examine the internal consistency, construct validity, responsiveness, score distribution and floor/ceiling effects of PROMIS-29 v2.1 in a Norwegian rehabilitation context.
Methods: Patients receiving rehabilitation services participating in a longitudinal cohort study answered PROMIS-29 at baseline and at 3-month follow-up. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. Construct validity was examined through hypothesis testing, using EQ-5D-5L as comparator measure. Hypotheses for correlations of change scores for both questionnaires were tested as an expression of responsiveness. Score distribution and floor/ceiling effects were examined with histograms and descriptive statistics.
Results: A total of 828 patients with a mean age of 54.3 years were included for analysis. The internal consistency for each PROMIS-29 domain was confirmed, with alpha and omega values exceeding the threshold of ≥ 0.70. Regarding correlations between PROMIS-29 and EQ-5D-5L, 34 out of 40 hypotheses were confirmed for construct validity and 19 out of 24 for responsiveness, both meeting our a priori criterion of ≥ 75% confirmed hypotheses. There was no floor effect of any PROMIS-29 domain in our sample, and ceiling effect only for anxiety and depression domain scores. Still, this confirmed the applicability of PROMIS-29 in a rehabilitation context.
Conclusion: The Norwegian PROMIS-29 has sufficient internal consistency, construct validity and responsiveness for use as an outcome measure for health status and health-related quality of life in rehabilitation.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

This study was designed to investigate the switch between the open-source automated insulin delivery (OS-AID) system AndroidAPS (AAPS) and commercially available AID systems Control-IQ (CIQ) and MiniMed 780G (780G) conducted in a new extended follow-up study. In this prospective open-label single-arm clinical trial, 41 adults with type 1 diabetes (age 35 ± 11 years, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 6.4 ± 2.

Background: Differentiating between primary and permanent teeth is a critical component of oral health knowledge, influencing both preventive care and clinical decisions. With the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and education, its role in supporting learning is of increasing interest.
Aim: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and internal consistency of ChatGPT-4.

Background: Bridge preparation skills are a vital component of dental education and require specific techniques. This study aimed to develop and evaluate 3D printed teeth for use in defect-oriented bridge preparation and pre-prosthetic exercises in dental training, addressing the limited customization and lack of integrated workflows found in commercial typodont teeth. The null hypothesis stated that 3D printed teeth offered no advantage over established typodont training methods for bridge preparation.
