The Sensory Processing Measure, Second Edition, Adolescent Self-Report Form; Swedish Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Establishment of Reliability and Face Validity.

The Sensory Processing Measure, second edition (SPM-2), is an American assessment guiding person-centered sensory processing interventions, but it lacks Swedish adaptation for occupational therapists. In eight phases, this study translated the SPM-2 into Swedish and assessed its face validity and preliminary psychometric properties, including internal consistency and inter-scale/item correlations. The findings suggest the Swedish SPM-2 is valid and reliable, although the Social Participation scale showed weak internal consistency.

Development of a Mammalian Cell Line for Stable Production of Anti-PD-1.

Immune checkpoint blockade, particularly targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor, is a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy. The interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, is crucial in immune evasion by tumors. Blocking this interaction with monoclonal antibodies like Nivolumab can restore anti-tumor immunity.

Enhancing self-management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease: the role of autonomy support in health goal pursuit.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that significantly affects patients' physical, mental, and social health, as well as their overall quality of life. Effective management of the disease demands self-management skills, enabling patients to navigate the daily challenges associated with IBD, such as unpredictable flare-ups, frequent hospitalization, severe symptoms, pain, and physical changes.

Objectives: This study examines the motivational aspects of self-management for patients with IBD and focuses on the role of autonomy and directive support from healthcare professionals in enhancing their self-concordance and self-efficacy.

The impact of the location, incidence and distribution of lung metastases in primary colorectal and renal cell cancer patients on prognosis: a retrospective observational study.

Background: Patients with distant metastases have an unfavourable prognosis, but patients with isolated pulmonary metastases should generally not be considered hopeless. Complete resection of metachronous and solitary metastases leads to prolonged survival; however, the influence of the location, distribution and bilaterality of pulmonary metastases needs to be investigated further. This article aimed to investigate the role of the distribution of lung metastases in primary colorectal and renal cell cancer patients on prognosis.
