Objective: The identification of helpful or unhelpful behavioral strategies for coping with pain would assist in optimizing the management of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The objective was to develop and validate a questionnaire for categorizing behavioral strategies in patients with nonspecific CLBP.
Methods: (1) Development of a preliminary questionnaire based on a qualitative study in 25 patients with CLBP; (2) Item reduction and questionnaire validation by a multicenter international prospective study in patients with CLBP, with multiple correspondence analysis to identify behavioral profiles, whose characteristics and internal and external validities were assessed; 12-month study of treatments in 58 patients; (3) Evaluation of reproducibility in 30 patients.
Results: (1) The preliminary questionnaire had 87 items in eight pain-coping domains. (2) Three behavioral profiles were identified: effective coping, emotional distress, and kinesiophobia. The questionnaire was reduced to 21 items in seven domains. Cronbach's α indicated moderate internal consistency (0.47-0.66). External validity versus anxiety, depression, and coping strategies was good. As expected, functional restoration program was used more often by patients with kinesiophobia than by those with effective coping (50% vs. 25%, P<0.05). (3) Reproducibility was good (κ=0.70).
Conclusion: This new, simple questionnaire allows the identification of three behavioral profiles, thus guiding the development of personalized management programs for NCLBP.

Ferroptosis is a novel, iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial shrinkage. It is closely associated with the onset and progression of various diseases, especially cancer, at all stages, making it a key focus of research for developing therapeutic strategies. Numerous studies have explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating ferroptosis by modulating the expression of critical genes involved in iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation.

Purpose: Prior research demonstrates that children with autism are more likely to experience unintentional injuries than the general population. Limited research exists on the symptoms or traits directly related to autism and this elevated injury rate, especially from the perspective of families with children with autism. This study used qualitative methodology to elucidate risk factors that may contribute to unintentional injuries in children with autism from the perspective of mothers raising children with autism.

This study examines the impact of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) on sexual behavior changes in men who have sex with men (MSM), aiming to assess a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy integrating biomedical and behavioral interventions to maximize PEP service effectiveness. From a Guangzhou MSM cohort, participants without prior PEP experience were included. The exposed group received PEP services during follow-up (June 2019-April 2022), while controls did not.

Adolescence is a vulnerable period for the onset of mental disorders and risk behaviours. Based on the Health-Promoting Schools Framework, whole-school interventions offer a promising strategy in this developmentally-sensitive cohort, through championing a systems-based approach to promotion and prevention that involves the key stakeholders in an adolescent's life. The evidence-base surrounding the effectiveness of whole-school interventions, however, remains inconclusive, partly due to the insufficient number of studies in previous meta-analyses.

Compared with Zn, the current mainly reported charge carrier for zinc hybrid capacitors, small-hydrated-sized and light-weight NH is expected as a better one to mediate cathodic interfacial electrochemical behaviors, yet has not been unraveled. Here we propose an NH-modulated cationic solvation strategy to optimize cathodic spatial charge distribution and achieve dynamic Zn/NH co-storage for boosting Zinc hybrid capacitors. Owing to the hierarchical cationic solvated structure in hybrid Zn(CFSO)-NHCFSO electrolyte, high-reactive Zn and small-hydrate-sized NH(HO) induce cathodic interfacial Helmholtz plane reconfiguration, thus effectively enhancing the spatial charge density to activate 20% capacity enhancement.
