The Child Anxiety Life Interference Scale (CALIS-C) is a measure created to specifically identify life interference and impairment related to children's anxiety disorders in areas of daily functioning. Despite being a widely used scale, a Spanish version of the CALIS-C is not available. The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the CALIS-C for Spanish-speaking children. We examined the CALIS-C factorial structure, factorial invariance across gender, and psychometric properties in a community sample of 336 (46.7% girls) Spanish-speaking children aged 8-12 years. Confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the original two-factor model. Excellent internal consistency coefficients were found for the total scale (0.88) and the subscales (0.85 and 0.82). 8-week test-retest reliability was moderate (IC = 0.51). Evidence of convergent and divergent validity was found, and factorial invariance across gender was reached. The current study provides initial support for the use of the CALIS-C with Spanish-speaking children by clinicians and researchers.

Oxalic acid (OA), an essential pathogenic factor, has been identified in several plant pathogens, and researchers are currently pursuing studies on interference with OA metabolism as a treatment for related diseases. However, the metabolic route in remains unknown. In this study, we describe D-erythroascorbic acid-mediated OA synthesis and its metabolic and clearance pathways in rice blast fungus.

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is a tool in functional gene study and pest control. However, RNAi efficiency in Lepidoptera is low compared to the RNAi sensitive Coleoptera. Previous studies on RNAi in the silkworm Bombyx mori, the lepidopteran model insect, were performed by injection only.

Background: Proximal femoral varus osteotomy (PFVO) is commonly performed to improve femoral head containment and decrease deformity in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD). Little is known about how PFVO impacts the quality of life after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal changes to patient-reported physical, mental, and social health measures after PFVO.

Background: In healthcare settings, particularly in intensive care units, nurses face significant stress due to the high demands of their job. This stress can impact their job satisfaction, mental health, and overall quality of life. Emotional intelligence has been identified as a crucial factor that can mitigate workplace stress and enhance job satisfaction.

Introduction: Phencyclidine, a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects, is commonly abused as a recreational drug. Phencyclidine analogs are compounds produced by substitutions of the phenyl and piperidine rings of phencyclidine. Illegal use of phencyclidine and its analogs has symptoms such as addiction, confusion, and increased tendencies toward violence.
