Article Abstract
The ABILHAND is among the most widely used questionnaires in upper limb rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate whether self-report procedure of the ABILHAND-Stroke is concordant with performance observation-based procedure. Two assessments were performed with each patient on the same day using the Beninese version of the ABILHAND. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) and Bland-Altman plot were used to evaluate the agreement and the relationships between ABILHAND measures. A total of 123 people with chronic stroke were included in the study. ICC was .77 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [.67, .82]) with < 10 demonstrating a good concordance between both assessment methods despite significant difference between patients' mean measures (self-report = -0.06 ± 2.64 logit; performance-based = 1.28 ± 3.57 logit; value < .0001). Results confirmed the concordance of the self-report regarding the performance-based measures. In clinical routine self-report of ABILHAND scale might be useful for initial screening purposes while for further investigation the performance observation-based procedure should be preferred.

Background: Current guidelines recommend clopidogrel in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet the comparative benefits are unclear.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with CCS undergoing PCI.

We describe the rationale, methodology, and design of the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (BU ADRC) Clinical Core (CC). The CC characterizes a longitudinal cohort of participants with/without brain trauma to characterize the clinical presentation, biomarker profiles, and risk factors of post-traumatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD), including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Participants complete assessments of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and repetitive head impacts (RHIs); annual Uniform Data Set (UDS) and supplementary evaluations; digital phenotyping; annual blood draw; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture every 3 years; electroencephalogram (EEG); and amyloid and/or tau positron emission tomography (PET) on a subset.

Background: Mitral valve surgery is a widely performed intervention for the treatment of various mitral valve pathologies. Postoperative conduction disturbances may necessitate permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. This study aims to identify and quantify patient-related, cardiovascular, procedural risk factors, and risk score-based predictors of PPM implantation following mitral valve surgery.

Background: As China's population ages, chronic noncommunicable diseases have become increasingly prevalent. While physical activity (PA) is known to reduce disease risk, the role of intensity-light, moderate, or vigorous-remains unclear.
Methods: Using 5 waves (2011-2020) of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study data (N = 54,300), this study examined associations between PA intensity and the prevalence of 13 chronic diseases.

Background: Approximately 69% of Americans with spinal cord injury (SCI) have neuropathic pain. Research suggests that impairments in mental body representations (MBRs; ie, representations of the body in the brain) likely contribute to neuropathic pain. Clinical trials in adults with SCI, focused on restoring MBR, led to improvements in sensation and movement as well as neuropathic pain relief.
