Improving Sleep Quality, Daytime Sleepiness, and Cognitive Function in Patients with Dementia by Therapeutic Exercise and NESA Neuromodulation: A Multicenter Clinical Trial.

Dementia is a progressive decline in cognitive functions caused by an alteration in the pattern of neural network connections. There is an inability to create new neuronal connections, producing behavioral disorders. The most evident alteration in patients with neurodegenerative diseases is the alteration of sleep-wake behavior.

Hemophilic Arthropathy of the Knee and Its Association with Reduced Muscle Strength and Activation and the Pressure Pain Threshold: A Case-Control Study.

(1) Background: Hemophilia is characterized by recurrent hemarthrosis leading to degenerative arthropathy.

A Reliability Generalization Meta-analysis of the Padua Inventory-Revised (PI-R).

The Padua Inventory-Revised (PI-R) is a widely applied instrument to measure obsessive-compulsive symptoms in clinical and nonclinical samples. We conducted a reliability generalization meta-analysis on the PI-R. An exhaustive literature search yielded 118 empirical studies that had applied the PI-R, from which 30 studies (33 samples) reported an original reliability estimate.

Quality of Life, Perception of Disease and Coping Strategies in Patients with Hemophilia in Spain and El Salvador: A Comparative Study.

Background: Hemophilia is characterized by the development of joint bleeds that cause long-term joint damage (hemophilic arthropathy). Joint damage leads to disability and affects psychosocial aspects in patients with hemophilia.

Objective: To compare the clinical situation, perception of disease and quality of life, and coping strategies in adult patients with hemophilia in El Salvador and Spain.

Effects of myofascial release on frequency of joint bleedings, joint status, and joint pain in patients with hemophilic elbow arthropathy: A randomized, single-blind clinical trial.

Background: Chronic joint injury of the elbow joint is common in patients with hemophilia. Myofascial release is used for the management of pain and functionality in patients with chronic restrictions.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of myofascial release in patients with hemophilic elbow arthropathy.

Validation of the Spanish Version of the VERITAS-PRN Scale to Assess Adherence to on Demand Regimens in Patients with Hemophilia.

Introduction: The episodic or on-demand administration of clotting factor concentrates in hemophilia patients in the event of hemorrhage is employed to restore hemostasis. Adherence to on-demand treatments needs to be assessed in order to improve patient management, avoiding adverse effects and serious clinical complications.

Aim: To validate the Spanish version of the treatment adherence scale in patients with hemophilia, namely, Validated Hemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale-PRN (VERITAS-PRN).

Quality of life and its predictors among adult patients with haemophilic arthropathy. An observational study.

Background: Recurrent hemarthrosis that begin in childhood lead to progressive joint deterioration. Patients with haemophilia have chronic pain, functional disability and a reduced perception of health-related quality of life.

Purpose: To analyse the perceived quality of life of adult patients with haemophilic arthropathy and its relationship with pain, joint condition, kinesiophobia and catastrophism.

Manual Therapy Effectively Decreases the Frequency of Joint Bleeding Improves Joint Health and Reduces Pain in Hemophilic Elbow Arthropathy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To verify the safety and effectiveness of manual therapy intervention using fascial therapy in adult patients with haemophilic elbow arthropathy.

Methods: Prospective cohort study. A total of 28 patients with haemophilic elbow arthropathy was recruited in 3 cities in Spain.

Improving the reporting quality of reliability generalization meta-analyses: The REGEMA checklist.

Reliability generalization (RG) is a meta-analytic approach that aims to characterize how reliability estimates from the same test vary across different applications of the instrument. With this purpose RG meta-analyses typically focus on a particular test and intend to obtain an overall reliability of test scores and to investigate how the composition and variability of the samples affect reliability. Although several guidelines have been proposed in the meta-analytic literature to help authors improve the reporting quality of meta-analyses, none of them were devised for RG meta-analyses.

Test Anxiety in Adolescent Students: Different Responses According to the Components of Anxiety as a Function of Sociodemographic and Academic Variables.

Objective: Test anxiety (TA) is a construct that has scarcely been studied based on Lang's three-dimensional model of anxiety. The objective of this article is to investigate the repercussion of sociodemographic and academic variables on different responses for each component of anxiety and for the type of test in adolescent students.

Method: A total of 1181 students from 12 to 18 years old ( = 14.
