Background: The Fresno test is a useful instrument for measuring the evidence-based medicine (EBM) competence of family physicians and others. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Fresno test.
Methods: First, the original version of the Fresno test was translated into Japanese following the standard instrument translation procedure. Subsequently, family medicine residents and certified physicians took the Japanese version of the Fresno test to assess its validity and reliability.
Results: Translation of the Fresno test into Japanese was completed successfully. A total of 39 participants took the test to verify reliability and validity. Family medicine specialists scored higher than majors (129.7 ± 36.0 vs. 100.6 ± 45.1, = 0.036), which indicated high construct validity. Intra-class correlation coefficient and Kappa value of all questions were above 0.7, which suggested sufficient reliability. Item difficulty and floor/ceiling effect also fulfilled pre-determined criteria.
Conclusions: This study successfully developed a Japanese version of the Fresno test. This test has sufficient reliability and validity and is expected to be useful as an instrument in EBM education for physicians in the future.

Introduction: Tobacco waste is a costly, widespread blight and environmental toxicant that is not distributed equally across geographical areas. This investigation reports on the prevalence of noticing tobacco litter and potential inequities in tobacco litter exposure among adolescents in California, USA.
Methods: Data from the 2023 Teens, Nicotine, and Tobacco (TNT) Online Survey (N=4910), a statewide, online cross-sectional survey of California adolescents aged 12-17 years, were analyzed for the self-reported frequency of noticing tobacco product litter.
MASLD-F Algorithm to the Rescue: Improving Noninvasive Diagnosis of Hepatic Fibrosis in Patients With Severe Obesity.

Objective: The gold standard to stage hepatic fibrosis is with a liver biopsy. It is not without its drawbacks and is more challenging for patients with severe obesity. Noninvasive testing, including the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score and vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), have begun to be increasingly used as initial screening methods.

Perspective taking is a critical repertoire for navigating social relationships and consists of a variety of complex verbal skills, including socially adaptive forms of deception. Detecting and being able to use socially adaptive deception likely has many practical uses, including defending oneself against bullying, telling white lies to avoid hurting others' feelings, keeping secrets and bluffing during games, and playing friendly tricks on others. Previous research has documented that some Autistic children have challenges identifying deception and playfully deceiving others (Reinecke et al.

Prostate cancer remains a significant global health concern, prompting ongoing exploration of novel therapeutic agents. Licochalcone A, a natural product in the chalcone family isolated from licorice root, is characterized by its enone structure and demonstrates antiproliferative activity in the micromolar range across various cell lines, including prostate cancer. Building on our prior success in enhancing curcumin's antiproliferative potency by replacing the substituted phenol with a 1-alkyl-1H-imizadol-2-yl moiety, we applied a similar approach to design a new class of licochalcone A-inspired chalcones.
