Bayesian network for predicting mandibular third molar extraction difficulty.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Sub-Institute of Public Safety Standardization, China National Institute of Standardization, No.4 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing, 100191, PR China.
Background: This study aimed to establish a model for predicting the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction based on a Bayesian network to meet following requirements: (1) analyse the interaction of the primary risk factors; (2) output quantitative difficulty-evaluation results based on the patient's personal situation; and (3) identify key surgical points and propose surgical protocols to decrease complications.
Methods: Relevant articles were searched to identify risk factors. Clinical knowledge and experience were used to analyse the risk factors to establish the Bayesian network.
Association of Pain-Related Anxiety and Abdominal Muscle Thickness during Standing Postural Tasks in Patients with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain.
J Chiropr Med
April 2024
Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Research Center, Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Semnan, Iran.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of pain-related anxiety on abdominal muscles thickness during standing postural tasks among individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Methods: We obtained responses to a pain-related anxiety symptoms questionnaire from 50 participants with CLBP. We then separated participants into high (11 men, 14 women) and low pain-related anxiety (13 men, 12 women) groups and compared assessments of their lateral abdominal muscles thickness during standing tasks on a computerized balance assessment device, using one static level and 2 movable levels (levels 6 and 3 are represented easy and difficult tasks respectively).
ABBA Letter Alternation: A telehealth inspired measure of executive functioning/inhibitory control.
Clin Neuropsychol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Emory University School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
To introduce ABBA Letter Alternation (ABBA) as a computerized measure of response inhibition/response alternation developed for telehealth following restrictions of in-person testing due to COVID-19. ABBA consists of two PowerPoint-administered trials: Letter Reading of 25 capital As or Bs individually presented, and Letter Alternation with instructions to say the opposite letter to what is presented. We obtained initial normative ABBA performance from 899 healthy research volunteers participating in the Emory Healthy Brain Study (EHBS) with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores 24/30 and higher.

The Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation is an outcome measure for patients with conditions affecting the wrist or hand. We evaluated the structural validity of the Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation using psychometric techniques, then developed computerized adaptive testing algorithms. Factor analysis found two health constructs consistent with 'Pain' and 'Motor Function'.

January 2025
Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, People's Republic of China.
Background: The body weight following bariatric surgery is a primary concern for both healthcare professionals and surgical candidates. However, it remains unclear whether variations in preoperative fat distribution influence weight loss outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of abdominal fat distribution on postoperative weight loss and body mass index (BMI) reduction, and to clarify the role of different fat depots in weight loss outcomes.
