Barriers for work in people with multiple sclerosis: a Norwegian cultural adaptation and validation of the short version of the multiple sclerosis work difficulties questionnaire.

Background And Purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with high rates of unemployment, and barriers for work are essential to identify in the regular follow-up of these people. The current study aimed to culturally adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the Multiple Sclerosis Work Difficulties Questionnaire-23 (MSWDQ-23).

Methods: Following backward and forward translation, the Norwegian version of the MSWDQ-23 (MSWDQ-23NV) was completed by 229 people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Discrimination of highly similar stimuli as members of different equivalence classes.

Learning to discriminate between physically similar stimuli as members of different classes can be relevant in certain situations. This study investigated effective methods of displaying two pairs of quasi-identical stimuli, as samples and/or comparisons, during the training of baseline conditional discriminations. The goal was to enable participants to form three 3-member equivalence classes and discriminate similar stimuli as members of distinct equivalence classes.

through bodily re-explorations and interactions with the surroundings: a qualitative study on changed perceptions of physical activity in people with mild multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: Reduced physical activity (PA) among people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) with low disability is a significant concern. Developing healthcare to promote PA requires a comprehensive understanding of pwMS's perspectives.

Purpose: To explore how pwMS with mild disability perceive PA and the impact of individual, professional, social, and environmental aspects on their PA engagement.

Cardiovascular Events Among Women with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: It is well documented that menopause is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events; however, the results of studies focusing on the association between premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and the risk of CV events are controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the risk of CV events among women with POI compared to women with menopausal aged 50-54 years.

Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed (including Medline), Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted from 1990 to 2022 to retrieve observational studies published in English-language.

The meaningfulness of through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor high-intensity physiotherapy for people with multiple sclerosis: a qualitative study.

Background And Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is often reduced in people with MS (pwMS), even when disability is low. Understanding the perspectives of pwMS on interventions aiming to improve PA is important to inform the development of such services. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of pwMS participating in an outdoor, high-intensity and balance exercise group intervention.
