[The revised version of the Y-BOCS: responsivity and other psychometric properties].

Background: The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is a widely used semi structured clinician-rated interview to assess the presence and severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The scale is revised (Y-BOCS-II) to overcome several psychometric limitations, for example by extending the scoring for better discrimination within higher severity levels.

Aim: To examine the responsiveness and other psychometric properties of the Y-BOCS-II in a Dutch clinical sample.

Modeling the Information Transparency of Health Service Privacy Policies.

In the present-day age of information abundance, in which the rights and freedoms in the digital environment are strengthened, information transparency is becoming an integral part of them. The rights of individuals to their own choice are more consequential in the field of privacy protection and the process of digital transformation in organizations is increasingly focused on the protection of collected and processed personal data. The basic (ex-ante) tool of transparency is the publication of privacy policies to inform the individuals with the procedures related to the collection, sharing, use and storage of their personal data, making them active shareholders in decision making process.

Responsiveness and other psychometric properties of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Severity Scale-Second Edition in a Dutch clinical sample.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is a widely used clinician-rated interview to assess the presence and severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The scale is revised (Y-BOCS-II) to overcome several psychometric limitations, for example by extending the scoring for better discrimination within higher severity levels. The aim of the present study was to examine the responsiveness and other psychometric properties of the Y-BOCS-II Severity Scale in a Dutch clinical sample.

[Prevention of secondary brain injury].

Neurologic complications after severe brain injuries are the result of primary injuries in the moment of impact and secondary injuries which evolve over the minutes and days later. According to statistics, secondary injuries were documented in about 90 percent of patients who died after traumatic brain injury. Low oxygen delivery in hypotension, hypoxia, oedema, intracranial hypertension or changes in cerebral blood flow all account for development of secondary injuries.
