Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the psychometric properties of a newly translated Arabic version of the Nightmare Distress Questionnaire (NDQ-AV) using a sample of 546 Lebanese adolescents.
- Results showed strong support for both one-factor and two-factor models, grouping nightmare distress into "general distress and coping" and "impact and perception," along with excellent reliability.
- The findings validate the NDQ-AV for measuring nightmare distress, which is anticipated to enhance understanding of this issue in Lebanon.
Article Synopsis
- Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a newly recognized eating disorder characterized by unhealthy eating habits without issues related to body image, and this study explores the relationship between perfectionism and ARFID.
- The study involved 515 Lebanese adults and measured various forms of perfectionism and self-esteem to understand how these factors interact with ARFID symptoms.
- Results showed that higher levels of narcissistic perfectionism were linked to increased ARFID symptoms, particularly when self-esteem levels were low, highlighting the importance of self-esteem interventions in treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) translated into Arabic for Lebanese young adults, aiming to assess its effectiveness in capturing the subjective construct of life's meaning in this demographic.
- Researchers surveyed 684 Lebanese young adults and found that the original MLQ model needed adjustments; after removing two problematic items, the remaining model showed good reliability and fit.
- Results indicated no significant gender differences in MLQ scores, and findings revealed that the Search subscale relates to higher GRIT without affecting psychological distress, while the Presence subscale associates with both higher GRIT and lower distress, supporting the MLQ's validity and reliability in this context.

Pre-emptive analgesia consists of administering drugs such as opioids and nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. This study aims to evaluate the intraoperative antinociceptive effects of diclofenac administered alone in premedication or combined with morphine along with its potential influence on recovery of dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. A total of 34 dogs (ASA I or II) admitted for ovariohysterectomy were randomly allocated into three groups according to the drugs given in premedication: Diclofenac (D) (n = 11), Morphine (M) (n = 13) and Diclofenac-Morphine (DM) (n = 10) groups.
