Development, Reliability, and Concurrent Validity of the American Sign Language Version of the Computerized Revised Token Test.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Department of Communication Science and Disorders, University of Pittsburgh, PA.
Purpose: The present study assessed the test-retest reliability of the American Sign Language (ASL) version of the Computerized Revised Token Test (CRTT-ASL) and compared the differences and similarities between ASL and English reading by Deaf and hearing users of ASL.
Method: Creation of the CRTT-ASL involved filming, editing, and validating CRTT instructions, sentence commands, and scoring. Deaf proficient (DP), hearing nonproficient (HNP), and hearing proficient sign language users completed the CRTT-ASL and the English self-paced, word-by-word reading CRTT (CRTT-Reading-Word Fade [CRTT-R-wf]).

: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by cardinal motor features and a multitude of non-motor manifestations. Among them, cognitive impairment in PD has been recognised as a defined clinical entity, and it might lead to an increased risk of developing dementia. Consequently, the present review aimed to ascertain the available interventions for the training of cognitive abilities in persons with PD (PwPD).

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Clinical Sciences, Danderyd Hospital, Karolinska Institutet, SE-182 88 Stockholm, Sweden.
Aims: A simplified version of the history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, troponin (HEART) score, excluding troponin, has been proposed to rule-out major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Computerized history taking (CHT) provides a systematic and automated method to obtain information necessary to calculate the HEAR score. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and diagnostic accuracy of CHT in calculating the HEAR score for predicting MACE.

Department of Ultrasonography, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Drum Tower Clinical Medical College, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: The ability of conventional ultrasound (US)-guided liver biopsy to visualize certain liver lesions, particularly those affected by conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis, which can obscure lesion boundaries and lead to inaccurate biopsy targeting, is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of multimodal US techniques to improve the visibility of liver lesions that are indistinct under conventional US, and to enhance the success rate of percutaneous biopsies.
Methods: In total, 144 patients with liver masses and lesions that were not clearly visible on conventional US from October 2018 to January 2024 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis.
Pneumococcal and Herpes Zoster Vaccination Rates Among U.S. Veterans With Chronic Inflammatory Disease on Biologic Medications: A Quality Improvement Project.
Mil Med
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology, VA Medical Center Memphis, TN 38104, USA.
Introduction: Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases are often treated with pharmacologic therapies that target the immune system and have an increased risk of infection. These risks can be reduced by vaccination against common pathogens. This quality improvement project aimed to increase pneumococcal and herpes zoster vaccination rates in patients with chronic inflammatory disease on biologic immunosuppressive therapy.
