Development of computer-based questionnaires (CQs) has been an ongoing challenge since the 1960s. The added value of such CQs for data collection and the acceptance by patients have been well documented. Many questionnaire projects, however, were temporary due to dedicated software, limited funding, and lack of integration with medical information systems. Also, the use of a fixed dedicated database makes integration cumbersome, as change in content requires change to the data model. Since much of the functional requirement of CQs is not dependent on content, the challenge is to both separate functionality and database structure from content. Following these principles, we extended OpenSDE, a generic application for structured data entry, with a tool to construct and run CQs as an alternative way of data input. We propose the combination of a generic building tool and a content-independent data model as an effective strategy to tackle the above-mentioned problems in CQ development.

Identification of Cognitive Training for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.
Brain Sci
January 2025
IRCCS Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi ONLUS, 20148 Milan, Italy.
: 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).

Background: Electronically captured patient reports (electronic patient-reported outcomes, ePROs) are digital questionnaires filled out by cancer patients. Despite indications of improved clinical care, the integration of ePROs into clinical head and neck oncology is uncharted territory.
Objective: This work outlines the implementation process for ePROs at the University Hospital for Otorhinolaryngology at the Medical University of Innsbruck (ENT Innsbruck).

Introduction: Radiographers support the multidisciplinary team by facilitating medical imaging within the operating theatre environment. This project aimed to enhance student readiness for clinical competency in operative theatre imaging by implementing an authentic C-arm simulator for students to use prior to attending clinical placement.
Methods: This study followed a pre-post, quantitative study design.
Evaluating a computer-based body exposure paradigm for the treatment of body image disturbance in adolescent Anorexia Nervosa: effects on the attentional bias and emotions.

Department for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany.
Background: A diagnostic criterion of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is body image disturbance. Body exposure therapy is a widely used approach to treat this; however, it is unclear which part of body exposure therapy is relevant for regaining a realistic perspective on the own body. This study aimed to examine the role of the attentional bias (AB), which AN patients exhibit to the most disliked parts of their body.

Introduction: There is a paucity of information regarding providers' attitudes toward gastric-protective strategies with concurrent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We aimed to assess gastric-protective strategies used upon prescribing NSAIDs and providers' awareness of societal guidelines for preventing NSAID-induced gastric complications.
Methods: A standardized 10-item questionnaire was sent to all orthopedic providers in North Carolina and South Carolina.
