Background: The Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (ÖMPQ) assesses the psychosocial factors in people with complaints of musculoskeletal disorders and predicts those likely to develop persistent symptoms.
Objective: To culturally-adapt and assess the validity of the ÖMPQ in an Arabic population with low back pain (LBP).
Methods: This was a prospective cohort validation study of the ÖMPQ. The Arabic-ÖMPQ was created by forward translation, translation synthesis and backward translation in an Arabic population. Participants were included if they were 18 years or older, had acute or chronic LBP and were fluent in Arabic. Eighty-four patients completed the questionnaires at baseline, 2 days later and 3 months follow-up. We assessed specific agreement and test-retest reliability using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). We assessed predictive validity using linear regression and relative risk. We assessed content validity by investigating the ceiling and floor effects.
Results: To construct validity, the Arabic-ÖMPQ had a moderate (≥0.3, <0.5) to high (≥0.5) correlation with pain, disability, fear-avoidance and catastrophizing questionnaires. The test-rest reliability was high ICC=0.92 (95% CI: 0.83-0.96). The Arabic-ÖMPQ score at baseline can significantly predict disability at 3 months ; R=0.29.
Conclusion: The translation of the Arabic-ÖMPQ into Arabic was successful. The Arabic-ÖMPQ showed very good reliability and proper validity and thus can be used to predict the risk of developing persistent disability amongst patients with LBP in an Arabic population.

Renovascular hypertension is the second leading cause of hypertension. Twenty-seven genes have been attributed to monogenic renovascular hypertension at present. We present a 15-year-old boy with facial dysmorphism, thick skin and renovascular hypertension with a novel gain-of-function variant in SMAD4 gene suggesting Myhre syndrome.

Introduction: Active duty service members (ADSMs) may be at heightened risk for eating disorders (EDs) and sub-clinical disordered eating (DE). ADSMs are also at a high risk for musculoskeletal injury (MSK-I). Given the risk for EDs/DE among ADSMs as well as robust physical requirements of military training, additional research is needed to elucidate links between DE and risk for MSK-I among ADSMs.

Conventional ergonomic observation methods, such as rapid entire body assessment (REBA), are limited in their sensitivity and reliability, particularly in detecting changes in input variables. This study integrates fuzzy logic with the REBA method, utilizing trapezoidal membership functions to fuzzify the input variables. The center of gravity method was employed for defuzzification, and if-then rules were formulated to enhance the REBA method.

Background: Ankle and hindfoot fusion in the presence of large bony defects represents a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent ankle-hindfoot fusions with impaction bone grafting (IBG) with morselized femoral head allograft to fill large bony void defects.
Methods: This was a 3-center, retrospective review of a consecutive series of 49 patients undergoing ankle or hindfoot fusions with femoral head IBG for filling large bony defects.

Diagnosing peroneus brevis split tears is a significant challenge, as many cases are missed both clinically and on imaging. Anatomical variations within the superior peroneal tunnel can contribute to peroneus brevis split tears or instability of the peroneal tendons. However, determining which anatomical variations predispose patients to these injuries remains challenging due to conflicting data in the literature.
