Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to compare preferences of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) regarding their uterus between German- and Russian-speaking areas.
Methods: Six urogynecologic tertiary referral centers participated in this prospective study: three centers from German-speaking countries and three from different regions of Russia. To assess the uterus-related preferences as well as the attitude toward hysterectomy versus uterus-sparing prolapse surgery, we developed a structured questionnaire that included 5-point Likert scales related to benefit of uterus (BOU) and benefit of not having uterus (BNU). Each scale consisted of 12 items (range of possible scores: 12-60). Finally, patients were asked if they preferred uterus removal or preservation when undergoing prolapse surgery.
Results: One hundred and seventy-eight German-speaking and 206 Russian-speaking patients were included in the study. There was no significant difference in patients' preference before undergoing POP surgery regarding uterus preservation versus hysterectomy between German- and Russian-speaking patients: 40% of German-speaking and 54% of Russian-speaking patients preferred to retain their uterus before undergoing POP surgery. Comparison of BOU mean scores showed a significant difference between groups: 20.6 ± 6.7 for German-speaking compared with 32.5 ± 9.1 for Russian-speaking patients (p < 0.01). The Russian-speaking group had significantly higher mean scores on domains sexuality, body image, and partnership of the BOU scale (2.6 ± 1.0 vs. 1.8 ± 0.9 for sexuality; 2.4 ± 1.1 vs. 1.5 ± 0.7 for body image, and 2.6 ± 0.9 vs. 1.6 ± 0.7 for partnership domains; p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Although a large proportion of German- and Russian-speaking patients prefers uterus preservation when undergoing prolapse surgery, the uterus was more important for sexuality, partnership, and body image in Russian-speaking patients.

The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a classic test used to assess episodic verbal memory in research and clinical practice. We aimed to adapt the RAVLT materials into Russian, provide performance norms across the adult lifespan for the Russian adaptation, and develop a mobile application for automated RAVLT administration across languages. We created three psycholinguistically matched alternative versions of the RAVLT materials in Russian and incorporated them into a new tablet application.

Background: Poor adherence to treatment among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) hinders the effective use of antidiabetic agents and the achievement of optimal glycemic control, reducing their quality of life and outcomes. Assessing adherence to treatment using a questionnaire can help identify and eliminate factors and barriers that negatively affect adherence to medical recommendations and satisfaction with treatment.
Aim: To conduct linguistic and cultural adaptation of the 12-item Medication Adherence Scale (MAS-12) questionnaire and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Russian version of the MAS-12 questionnaire among patients suffering from T1DM and T2DM.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of mild behavioral impairment (MBI ) in elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI ), refine diagnostic criteria, and characterize the identified neuropsychiatric symptoms.
Material And Methods: Sixty-three individuals over 50 years of age (median 72 [68; 77]) with MCI underwent psychiatric and psychometric assessments using clinical and psychopathological methods and scales. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate intergroup differences, ROC-analysis with calculation of the area under the curve (AUC) was performed, and sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MBI diagnosis were determined for MBI-C.
