Objective: The study aimed to carry out a cross-cultural analysis by comparing Five-Point test scores for two different countries. The Five-Point test measures design fluency, an executive function, and is an inexpensive test that makes it more accessible to assessment settings, including under-resourced settings.
Methods: Adults in Argentina ( = 90) and South Africa ( = 90) with tertiary levels of education were tested on the Five-Point Test. ANOVA was applied to compare the scores of the two groups on the total number of unique designs produced (Total Unique Designs).
Results: The study found no significant differences in the Total Unique Designs scores between the two groups ( = .13; = 0.01). Correlations between demographic variables and the Total Unique Designs scores varied slightly across both samples.
Conclusions: Despite large cultural differences between both samples (language, race, religion, income) scores on this test did not differ significantly. These findings provide initial evidence of scalar equivalence on the test across these samples. Norms for the Five-Point Test Total Unique Designs scores might be used interchangeably between these two highly educated groups from different countries.

Prognostic value of interim PET/CT in GCB and non-GCB DLBCL: comparison of the Deauville five-point scale and the ΔSUVmax method.
BMC Cancer
December 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, School of Medicine, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, 200080, China.
Background: This study aimed to identify the prognostic value of interim F-FDG PET/CT (I-PET) for germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and non-GCB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), respectively.
Methods: Baseline F-FDG PET/CT (B-PET) and I-PET scans were performed in 112 patients with DLBCL. The prognostic value of I-PET using the Deauville five-point scale (D-5PS) criteria or percentage decrease in SUVmax (∆SUVmax) for GCB and non-GCB DLBCL were evaluated.
Objective: Obesity is related to the recurrence of breast cancer. In-person groups or individual telephone counseling currently comprise the behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs tested for cancer survivors. Group support via telehealth may be convenient and provide support from fellow survivors, but feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy testing are needed.

Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Purpose: To determine if an online learning module on older people's care improved nursing students' self-assessed knowledge, and perceptions of older people, we developed a brief Feedback Survey. The aim of this study was to examine the internal consistency (a type of reliability) and construct validity of the feedback survey.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IH and diabetes, as well as insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and related curve patterns in subjects with different glucose tolerance categories according to the diagnostic criteria established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the more recently published International Diabetes Federation (IDF) guidelines.
Methods: We used data of 5,387 adult participants from the Shanghai High-risk Diabetic Screen (SHiDS) study. All participants underwent a five-point 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: comparison of the turbo spin-echo and echo-planar imaging techniques.

Department of Radiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Background: Traditional echo-planar imaging with intravoxel incoherent motion (EPI-IVIM) exhibits significant magnetic susceptibility artifacts and geometric distortions, which limits its application in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to compare the qualitative and quantitative indicators between turbo spin echo with intravoxel incoherent motion (TSE-IVIM) and EPI-IVIM in patients with NPC and to provide optimal scanning strategies based on the relationships among these indicators.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2022 and August 2022.
