Gluten-Free Diet and Health-Related Quality of Life: The Validated Hellenic Version of the Celiac Dietary Adherence Test.

Background/objectives: A reliable assessment of gluten-free diet (GFD) adherence is essential for managing celiac disease (CD). This study aimed to validate the Hellenic version of the Celiac Disease Adherence Test (H-CDAT) to evaluate adherence levels and explore the impact of dietary adherence on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-both of which have never been objectively assessed in Greek CD patients.

Methods: The study included 102 adult CD patients who completed H-CDAT, diet-related questions, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).

Conditionality and the negotiation of core elements in university social representations.

The aim of the present research is to investigate the phenomenon of the negotiation of the central core elements of a social representation under the effect of the confirmation of another, in relation to their intra core hierarchy, to understand the socio cognitive conditions in which this negotiation takes place and the role of conditionality in this. Also, in the effects it has on the perceptual and evaluative activity of the subjects. Two experimental procedures it was conducted.

The computerized LASSI-BC Test versus the Standard LASSI-L Paper-and-Pencil Version in Community-Based-Samples.

Proactive Semantic Interference (PSI) and failure to recover from PSI (frPSI), are novel constructs assessed by the LASSI-L. These measures are sensitive to cognitive changes in early Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and preclinical AD determined by A load using PET. The goal of this study was to compare a new computerized version of the LASSI-L (LASSI-Brief Computerized) to the standard paper-and-pencil version of the test.

Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy Protocol Optimization Using Machine Learning for the Detection of Delayed Gastric Emptying.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of a machine learning (ML) system for optimizing a gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) protocol for the detection of delayed gastric emptying (GE), which is considered a primary indication for the diagnosis of gastroparesis.

Methods: An ML model was developed using the JADBio AutoML artificial intelligence (AI) platform. This model employs the percent GE at various imaging time points following the ingestion of a standardized radiolabeled meal to predict normal versus delayed GE at the conclusion of the 4 h GES study.

A Novel Computerized Cognitive Test for the Detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Its Association with Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease Prone Brain Regions.

During the prodromal stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegenerative changes can be identified by measuring volumetric loss in AD-prone brain regions on MRI. Cognitive assessments that are sensitive enough to measure the early brain-behavior manifestations of AD and that correlate with biomarkers of neurodegeneration are needed to identify and monitor individuals at risk for dementia. Weak sensitivity to early cognitive change has been a major limitation of traditional cognitive assessments.
