Introduction And Aims: Although coping styles in individuals with eating disorders have received increased research interest in recent years, there remains a lack of brief, self-report measures that can reliably measure coping. This study developed an English version of the Utrecht Coping List (UCL) and evaluated its psychometric properties in a UK population.

Method: This was a cross-sectional study. Three hundred and fifteen participants completed the UCL and the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced scale (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989). Of these, 124 completed the UCL again 6 weeks later.

Results: The UCL demonstrated strong internal consistency. Five of the seven subscales had good test-retest reliability. With the exception of the expression of emotion subscale in men, concurrent validity with the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced subscales was good.

Discussion: Although its use with men requires further investigation, this translated version of the UCL represents a reliable and valid measure of coping in women.

Background And Objective: Limited information is available on the pharmacokinetics of rifampicin (RIF) along with that of its active metabolite, 25-deacetylrifampicin (25-dRIF). This study aimed to analyse the pharmacokinetic data of RIF and 25-dRIF collected in adult patients treated for tuberculosis.

Methods: In adult patients receiving 10 mg/kg of RIF as part of a standard regimen for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis enrolled in the Opti-4TB study, plasma RIF and 25-dRIF concentrations were measured at various occasions.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of preoperative prealbumin levels on long-term survival outcomes after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC) dichotomized based on age.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary stage I-III GC between May 2006 and March 2017. Patients were allocated to groups based on age (≥ 70 or < 70 years) and subgroups based on prealbumin levels (high, ≥ 22 mg/dL; moderate, 15-22 mg/dL; or low, < 15 mg/dL), and multivariate Cox regression was used for survival analyses.

Objectives: In advanced stages of osteoradionecrosis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and osteomyelitis, a resection of sections of the mandible may be unavoidable. The determination of adequate bony resection margins is a fundamental problem because bony resection margins cannot be secured intraoperatively. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) is more accurate than conventional imaging techniques in detecting inflammatory jaw pathologies.
