Which Scale to Assess Pain Self-efficacy Shows Better Measurement Properties in Chronic Low Back Pain? A Head-To-Head Comparison Study.

Objective: To compare the quality of the measurement properties of Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)-10, PSEQ-4, PSEQ-2, Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSS) long-form, and CPSS short-form (CPSS-SF) in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (measurement properties).

Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation.

Do denture cleansers influence the surface roughness and adhesion and biofilm formation of Candida albicans on acrylic resin? Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of denture cleansers on the surface roughness, Candida albicans adhesion, and biofilm formation on denture base acrylic resins.

Study Selection: Electronic databases and gray literature were searched using an individual search strategy. In vitro studies that evaluated the effects of immersion in denture cleansers on the surface roughness (µm) and antimicrobial activity (CFU/mL) on samples of heat-polymerized denture base acrylic resins were included.
