This study investigated the correspondence among four groups of raters on adherence to STAGE-12, a manualized 12-step facilitation (TSF) group and individual treatment targeting stimulant abuse. The four rater groups included the study therapists, supervisors, study-related ("TSF expert") raters, and non-project related ("external") raters. Results indicated that external raters rated most critically mean adherence - the mean of all the adherence items - and global performance. External raters also demonstrated the highest degree of reliability with the designated expert. Therapists rated their own adherence lower, on average, than did supervisors and TSF expert raters, but therapist ratings also had the poorest reliability. Findings highlight the challenges in developing practical, but effective methods of fidelity monitoring for evidence based practice in clinical settings. Recommendations based on study findings are provided.

Development, validity, and reliability of the Street Food and Beverage Tool: (SFBT).

Objective: To develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Street Food and Beverage Tool (SFBT).
Design: This methodological study contains two phases: a) tool development, which involves conducting a systematic review followed by expert evaluation of the items, the creation of a Nutritional Healthfulness Index (NH), and pilot testing; and b) evaluation of the Tool's Validity and Reliability: Content validity was judged by an external technical group, which evaluated the adequacy and pertinence of each tool item. Construct validity was evaluated around schools by testing the hypothesis: In high-income areas, there will be greater availability of healthy food and beverages at street food outlets (SFOs), as measured by the NH-index.
Deep learning-based multiclass segmentation in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Introduction: Radiological scores used to assess the extent of subarachnoid hemorrhage are limited by intrarater and interrater variability and do not utilize all available information from the imaging. Image segmentation enables precise identification and delineation of objects or regions of interest and offers the potential for automatization of score assessments using precise volumetric information. Our study aims to develop a deep learning model that enables automated multiclass segmentation of structures and pathologies relevant for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage outcome prediction.

: This study aims to clarify the reproducibility, validity, and accuracy of tibial external-rotation alignment evaluation using ultrasound imaging and to investigate the relationship between medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and tibiofemoral alignment in both the sagittal and coronal planes in knee osteoarthritis (OA). : Study 1 included 10 healthy participants. The tibial external-rotation angle was calculated using MRI.

Therefore, a sport specific shoulder rotation PROM test (FAST-SHDR) was developed and compared to traditional standard methods to measure shoulder internal and external rotational PROM in the throwing shoulder.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the intra-rater reliability of the FAST-SHDR test in young, healthy, male Division 1 baseball players.
Dorsal cortex line is more reliable than transepicondylar axis for rotation in revision total knee arthroplasty with severe bone loss.

Center or Orthopaedics and Traumatology, University Hospital Brandenburg/Havel, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Brandenburg, Germany.
Aims: The transepicondylar axis is a well-established reference for the determination of femoral component rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, when severe bone loss is present in the femoral condyles, rotational alignment can be more complicated. There is a lack of validated landmarks in the supracondylar region of the distal femur.
