Background: The study aimed to translate the Profile of Fatigue and Discomfort-Sicca Symptoms Inventory Short Form questionnaire into the Turkish language (PROFAD-SSI-SF-T) and to investigate its psychometric properties.
Methods: The study was completed by 104 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and 83 patients filled out the scale a second time after 7 days for the retest measurement. The PROFAD-SSISF-T, Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy (Fatigue) (FACIT-F), EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), and Patient Global Assessment (PaGA) were applied to 104 patients with pSS for convergent validity.
Virtual reality training (VRT), a fun, inexpensive and accessible technology, has the potential to improve activities of daily living (ADL) and functional status in older adults. The potential impact of VRT can be increased through group-based training. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of group- based VRT on ADL and functional outcomes in older adults over 65 years of age.

Methods: Twenty-nine individuals with scleroderma completed the programme. The study spanned 8 weeks during which participants received weekly 45-min video sessions.
Article Synopsis
- Honey bees are vital for pollination but face threats from invasive subspecies, pathogens, and parasites, highlighting the need for better identification tools.
- The introduction of HBeeID provides a powerful tool for identifying different honey bee subspecies using genomic data and diagnostic SNPs, even with incomplete samples.
- HBeeID is adaptable for future improvements and can help monitor invasive honey bee species, aiding ecological management efforts.
Background: Physical inactivity, which is highly prevalent in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and causes many complications. This study aimed to investigate the effect of objective measurement and physical activity level on peripheral muscle strength, exercise capacity, pain, dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in patients with SLE.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study analyzed 41 patients with SLE.
