AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (P-ISYQOL) questionnaire for adolescents with spinal deformities.
- A total of 178 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis, along with 103 age-matched peers without deformities, were recruited, and the reliability was confirmed through strong internal consistency and test-retest reliability scores.
- The P-ISYQOL effectively distinguished between groups, showing valid correlations with existing questionnaires and confirming its utility in assessing health-related quality of life in adolescents with spinal conditions.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To assess the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (P-ISYQOL) questionnaire.
Methods: Forward/backward translations and cultural adaption processes of the ISYQOL questionnaire into Persian were conducted by an expert committee. We recruited 178 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and Scheuermann's kyphosis (SK) and 103 age-matched adolescents with no spinal deformity. Reliability was assessed by evaluating internal consistency and test-retest reliability using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent construct validity was assessed by measuring the association between the ISYQOL and revised 22-item Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22r) questionnaires scores. Known-groups construct validity was assessed regarding curve magnitude, deformity, age, sex, and treatment type.
Results: Cronbach's alpha and ICC for P-ISYQOL total score was 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. An acceptable association was observed between P-ISYQOL and SRS-22r total scores (r = - 0.5, p < 0.01). The P-ISYQOL could discriminate between adolescents with spinal deformities and adolescents with no spinal deformity as well as those with different types of deformity and treatment (p < 0.01).
Conclusions: The P-ISYQOL is a reliable and valid survey to assess the outcomes of adolescents with spinal deformities.
Level Of Evidence: Level I-diagnostic studies.

: Musculoskeletal disorders affect a large portion of the population worldwide. The Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire (MSK-HQ) is a helpful tool for assessing the health state of patients with these disorders. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the MSK-HQ-IT in a population of kitesurfers.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel class of stable regulatory RNAs abundantly expressed in the brain. However, their role in fear extinction (EXT) memory remains largely unexplored. To investigate the mechanisms of Circular Special AT-rich Sequence Binding Protein 2 (circSatb2) in EXT memory, we constructed a lentivirus overexpressing circSatb2 and injected it into the infralimbic prefrontal cortex (ILPFC) of the mouse brain.

Specialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readable way, the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard and repository was initiated in 2015.

Article Synopsis
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) leads to increased parathyroid hormone levels, resulting in bone density loss and changes in bone structure, particularly affecting the femur's trabecular and cortical compartments.
- A retrospective study analyzed 74 Caucasian Italian patients with PHPT using 3D imaging to measure bone mineral density and thickness from 2011 to 2016, revealing negative effects on both cortical and trabecular volumetric bone densities.
- Results indicate that while PHPT negatively impacts both types of bone density, cortical thickness remains largely unaffected, aligning with existing literature on the condition's effects on bone health.
