The article presents findings from the validation of the Polish version of the Short Sensory Profile, 2nd edition (SSP-2-PL).A total of 1230 participants were recruited: 310 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 264 with nonspectrum neurodevelopmental disorders, and 656 typically developing (TD). The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were estimated using several methods, including internal consistency, test-retest, and factor analysis.Exploratory factor analysis identified a unidimensional solution in both the TD and ASD groups. The structure of SSP-2 seems to be homogeneous; therefore, the findings support the validity of calculating the SSP-2 overall score. Cronbach alphas and intraclass correlation coefficients exceeded 0.90 for overall total in all study groups. The Social Communication Questionnaire total score correlated moderately with SSP-2 scores. A 1-way analysis of variance yielded statistically significant differences at P < .001 between groups on all scales/quadrants and the overall score. Our results indicate greater severity of sensory processing problems among children with ASD and non-ASD disorders than among TD peers. Among children with ASD, 85% experienced problems with sensory processing. Scores in SSP-2-PL were not affected by the children's age, gender, informant, and informant's level of education.To the best of our knowledge, this is the 1st study on non-English participants using a revised version of the SSP-2. The results confirm the prevalence of sensory processing problems among children with neurodevelopmental disorders, especially with ASD. SSP-2-PL has high reliability in terms of both internal consistency and stability of scores. The results suggest that SSP-2 overall score could be used for screening purposes, namely to identify sensory processing and behavioral problems combined into one factor. Further analyzes of the SSP-2 factor structure are needed to confirm the findings of the present study.

Knowledge in the Area of Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injuries Among Nurses: Report from the Study.
Healthcare (Basel)

Article Synopsis
- Pressure injuries are a major concern in nursing, affecting 5-27% of hospitalized patients and 3-32% in long-term care, highlighting the need for nurses to know how to prevent and treat these injuries.
- The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of 500 nurses from hospital wards and primary healthcare regarding pressure injury prevention and treatment, using the Pieper-Zulkowski Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PZ-PUKT).
- Results showed that nurses had above-average knowledge with a mean score of 49.6 out of 100, indicating that the PZ-PUKT can help assess and identify knowledge gaps among nursing professionals regarding pressure injuries.
Introduction: The Big Five Inventory (BFI) is a popular measure that evaluates personality on the Big-Five model. Apart from its utilization across cultures, the literature did not reveal any meta-analysis for the reliability of the different versions of the BFI and its translations. The current study carried out a reliability generalization meta-analysis (REGEMA) to establish the reliability of the BFI across cultures and languages.

Since the early discovery of QRFP43, intensive research has been primarily focused on its role in the modulation of food intake. As is widely recognised, the regulation of the body's energy status is a highly complex process involving numerous systems, hormones and neurotransmitters. Among the most important regulators of energy status, alongside the satiety and hunger centre located in the hypothalamus, is the HPT axis, which directly and indirectly affects the regulation of metabolism in all cells of the body.

Objectives: Flour products with iodine-fortified dried vegetables can be a good source of iodine. However, in addition to iodine stability, the sensory quality of these products is also important. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of adding iodine-fortified dried vegetables to flour products (gnocchi and ciabatta) on their sensory quality and map consumers (vegan/omnivore diets) as potential consumers of fortified flour products with iodine-fortified dried vegetables.

Although physical activity and balanced diet may increase peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration, little is known about whether these factors modify BDNF content in physically active individuals and whether the serum fatty acid (FA) profile is related. This study aimed to evaluate quality of diet, identify specific dietary patterns and assess their influence on BDNF and FA levels in serum. It is hypothesized that there is a correlation between diet quality and the concentrations of BDNF and FA in the serum of physically active male individuals.
