Cross-cultural adaptation of four instruments to measure stigma towards people with mental illness and substance use problems among primary care professionals in Chile.

Stigma is a cultural phenomenon that is influenced by particular contexts and can differ by country and region. The majority of stigma research focuses on Europe or North America leading to a lack of culturally relevant stigma research instruments for the Latin American context.

Transfer accuracy of 3D-printed trays for indirect bonding of orthodontic brackets.

Objectives: To evaluate the transfer accuracy of 3D-printed indirect bonding trays constructed using a fully digital workflow in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-three consecutive patients had their incisors, canines, and premolars bonded using fully digitally designed and 3D-printed transfer trays. Intraoral scans were taken to capture final bracket positioning on teeth after bonding.

Dynamic force decay evaluation of latex and non-latex orthodontic elastics.

Purpose: To evaluate the force decay over time of latex and non-latex orthodontic elastics subjected to either static or dynamic stretching under simulated intraoral conditions.

Materials And Methods: Four types of elastics (1/4-inch 4.5 ounces and 1/4-inch 6.

Registered trials address questions already answered with high-certainty evidence: A sample of current redundant research.

Objective: To identify clinical trials registered later than 2015, that study the effect of an intervention on a primary outcome whose "Certainty of Evidence" (CoE) has already been rated "high" in a Cochrane SR.

Study Design And Setting: We searched the Cochrane Library for all SRs from 2015. We analyzed SRs of interventions and excluded withdrawn reviews or those with no Summary of Findings (SoF) table.

Prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity in Brazilian immigrants in Massachusetts.

Background: Overweight and obesity are important risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases, and their prevalence is on the rise worldwide. This study seeks to describe the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity in Brazilian immigrants living in Massachusetts, United States of America (USA).

Methods: Modeled after a survey on behavioral risk factors for chronic disease conducted annually in Brazil (Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico: Vigitel), Brazilian immigrants aged 18+ (n = 361) were surveyed between December 2013 and March 2014.
