Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to translate and validate a questionnaire to be used by children with chronic diseases during procedures. Specific research questions were as follows: Is the translated versions reliable? Is there a correlation between VCM and another questionnaire measuring discomfort to enhance the validity of VCM? The three versions of Visual CARE measure (VCM) were translated following the principles of good practice for translation and cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures, according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR).

Methods: We used a constructivist grounded theory methodology to collect and analyze rich data from 15 patients with lung cancer via individual interviews and a two-dimensional symptom assessment scale.
Results: A situational theoretical model describes the symptom cluster management process through the main category 'To get through to survive', with the category 'Handling symptom clusters' together with six sub-categories concerning the patients' management strategies and the category 'Living with symptom clusters,' together with two sub-categories describing the outcome in their daily life.
Objective: To evaluate the potential mid-term benefit of the use of a bone substitute material in the reconstructive surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
Methods: A total of 120 subjects (127 implants) affected by peri-implantitis were followed over 3 years in a multicenter randomized clinical trial. Participants had been randomized to either control (access flap surgery) or test group (access flap surgery and bone substitute material).
Article Synopsis
- One in three women experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), which impacts both their health and breastfeeding, but there is a lack of research on how these two experiences overlap.
- The study uses a qualitative approach to gather insights from Swedish women who have lived through IPV while breastfeeding, analyzing their stories to understand their experiences.
- Findings reveal that women face various IPV manifestations like being controlled or devalued, often in a way that is less recognized as violence, and these experiences are influenced by their personal context and the surrounding patriarchal society.
