The Moroccan MoCA test: Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation.

Purpose: Dementia includes all the symptoms associated with declining mental and cognitive skills, resulting in an inability to perform daily activities.

Objectives: We aimed to translate and adapt the Montréal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test into the Moroccan cultural context. We compared the sensitivity and specificity between MoCA and Mini-Mental State of Folstein (MMS) in the screening of dementia.

Moroccan Arabic version of the Quality of Life Inventory in Epilepsy (QOLIE-31): translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric validation.

Background: There is currently a growing concern to conduct health-related quality of life (HRQOL) studies among people with epilepsy in low- and middle-income countries, as most data have been derived from high-income countries in North America and Europe.

Aims: To translate, adapt and validate the Moroccan Arabic version of the QOL Inventory in Epilepsy-31 (MA-QOLIE-31) to evaluate HRQOL predictors in the Moroccan population with epilepsy.

Methods: Adaptation and validation of QOLIE-31 were performed in July 2018 among 118 patients with epilepsy in the Fez-Meknes region.

Brain knowledge and predictors of neuromyths among teachers in Morocco.

The objective of this study was to evaluate brain knowledge and the prevalence of neuromyths among teachers in Morocco. We aimed also predicting factors that may improve teachers' brain knowledge and widespread of neuromyths. An online questionnaire was sent to a large population of Moroccan teachers.

Awareness and attitudes toward persons with epilepsy among teachers: A Moroccan study.

Purpose: Many studies performed in Morocco showed an important lack of knowledge about epilepsy among persons with epilepsy and their families. The misconceptions about the disease are a source of suffering for both patients and their families and increase the costs of epilepsy care. We conducted this investigation for assessing the origins of misinterpretation of the disease in the Moroccan society.

Crystal structure of 1,5-diethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4(3H,5H)-di-thione.

In the title compound, C13H16N2S2, the seven-membered ring adopts a boat conformation, with the two phenyl-ene C atoms representing the stern and the methyl-ene C atom as the prow. The thione S atoms and N-bound ethyl groups lie on the opposite side of the mol-ecule to the phenyl-ene ring so that the mol-ecule approximates mirror symmetry. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers in the bc plane are sustained by a pair of C-H⋯S inter-actions to the same S atom acceptor.
