Purpose: Cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese and evaluation of content validity of a patient decision aid to help in choosing the feeding route for patients with severe dementia entitled "Making Choices: Feeding Options for Patients with Dementia".
Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation involved two independent translations, synthesis of translations, two independent back-translations, their synthesis, and pretest with 30 caregivers. Content validation was based on analyzes of 35 Brazilian specialists (physicians, speech-language therapists and nurses experienced in caring for patients with severe dementia) through measures of content validity index and concordance between multiple judges by Fleiss' kappa.
Results: The level of comprehension of the instrument by caregivers in the pretest was almost perfect. The specialists committee considered the contents of the instrument valid, in a statistically significant way.
Conclusion: The patient decision aid in Brazilian Portuguese entitled "Fazendo escolhas: opções de alimentação para pacientes com demência" obtained evidence of cross-cultural equivalence and content validity for use in the Brazilian population. Further studies are needed to assess its effects on the decision-making process in our population.

Lotus leaves (LL), petals (LP), and seeds (LS) are believed to have properties that can improve sleep. However, their efficacy in improving sleep has not been fully validated. This study aimed to investigate the multitarget mechanisms of extracts from these lotus parts for sleep improvement using chemical analysis, bioactivity assessment, meta-analysis, network pharmacology evaluation, and molecular docking.

Ecosystem engineering is a facilitative interaction that generates bottom-up extrinsic variability that may increase species coexistence, particularly along a stress/disturbance gradient. American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) create and maintain 'alligator ponds' that serve as dry-season refuges for other animals. During seasonal water recession, these ponds present an opportunity to examine predictions of the stress-gradient (SGH) and intermediate disturbance hypotheses (IDH).

Objective: The objective of study was to present evidence of the content validity of conceptual and operational definitions of the "Blood Transfusion Reaction (code 0700)" nursing outcome from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).
Method: A methodological study was implemented in four phases. The first phase consisted of a narrative literature review in which the main indicators related to blood transfusion were identified: 25 new indicators that were not present in NOC, in addition to 14 existing indicators, for a total of 39 to be studied.

Background: Cardiac disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in developed countries, and myocardial infarction (MI) is an important cause of pregnancy-associated morbidity and mortality. These infrequent, but very serious, events are not optimally described in the medical literature.
Objectives: This study describes a 15-year consecutive, retrospective cohort of confirmed pregnancy-associated MIs (PAMIs) identified in Alberta, Canada (2003-2017).

Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been linked to intensified systemic inflammation and represents a novel risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, including aortic stenosis (AS).
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical impact of CHIP in a cohort of severe AS patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: We enrolled 110 severe AS patients in this retrospective study.
