Purpose: This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the QUAlity of Life Assessment in Spina bifida for Children (QUALAS-C) and validate the Korean version of the QUALAS-C (QUALAS-C-K).
Materials And Methods: Three urologists translated the QUALAS-C into Korean. Facial and content validity were assessed in the pilot study.
Importance: Selecting the optimal antiplatelet agent in patients who have received percutaneous coronary intervention is especially important in those with diabetes due to the heightened risk of ischemic events in this population. Studies on the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel vs aspirin for long-term maintenance after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes are lacking.
Objective: To investigate cardiovascular outcomes with clopidogrel vs aspirin in patients with and without diabetes.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) increases the risk of cerebrovascular events, while its association with cerebral white matter hyperintensity (WMH) is undemonstrated. We evaluated the effect of CHIP and its major driving mutations on cerebral WMH severity.
Methods: From an institutional cohort of a routine health check-up program with a DNA repository database, subjects who were ≥50 years of age, with one or more cardiovascular risk factors but no central nervous system disorder, and performed brain MRI were included.

Background: The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in parallel with the epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Lifestyle modification is a crucial strategy for the treatment of NAFLD, which can lead to a reduction in liver fat with concomitant weight loss. The use of eHealth technologies is an effective approach to improve health outcomes in patients as they do not have any time and space limitations.

Rationale: Alteplase is the only approved thrombolytic agent for acute stroke. An alternative plasminogen activator, tenecteplase, has been previously shown to increase early biological effectiveness (reperfusion) resulting in early clinical recovery in acute stroke patients with target mismatch on perfusion imaging; however, phase III data are lacking.
Aim And Hypothesis: In this study, we assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase compared to alteplase in acute stroke patients with target mismatch on perfusion imaging.
BackgroundPharmacy training programs infrequently include formal training in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Hence, the purpose of this report is to offer perspectives gained from the delivery of a DEI curriculum within a pharmacy residency program aimed at expanding experiential learning focused on DEI and health equity. Pharmacy residents at an academic medical center were invited to participate in a longitudinal DEI/equity seminar series that was thoughtfully and strategically developed by a team of residents and program leadership based on a six-step process.

Purpose: The QUAlity of Life Assessment in Spina bifida (QUALAS) for adults (QUALAS-A) evaluates the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), reflecting the condition specificity of adults with spina bifida (SB). The study's purpose was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the QUALAS-A into Korean and validate a Korean-modified version of the QUALAS for Young Adults (QUALAS-YA-Km).
Method: Face and content validity were evaluated in the pilot study.

Objectives: Radiological markers for cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) may have different biological underpinnings in their development. We attempted to categorize SVD burden by integrating white matter signal abnormalities (WMSA) features and secondary presence of lacunes, microbleeds, and enlarged perivascular spaces.
Methods: Data were acquired from 610 older adults (aged > 40 years) who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging exam as part of a health checkup.

The publication of A Randomized Trial of Induction Versus Expectant Management (ARRIVE), conducted in the United States in 2018, heralded a paradigm shift within the obstetrical management of term pregnancy among people who have not previously given birth. ARRIVE finds its home among other canonical - and controversial - randomized controlled trials (RCTs) within obstetrics. We argue that RCTs have their own (after)life, both creating new subjects for biomedical intervention and recalibrating who reproductive health practitioners consider to be at risk of adverse health outcomes.

Purpose Of Review: In this review we highlight the most recent studies furthering the clinical development of selinexor, a novel exportin-1 inhibitor, for the treatment of multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Recent Findings: Three pivotal trials, the SADAL trial for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the BOSTON and selinexor treatment of refractory myeloma trials for multiple myeloma, have recently led to the regulatory approval of selinexor monotherapy or combination regimens. They are complemented by several earlier phase clinical trials with iterative combinations, adding selinexor to novel therapies and cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens at various stages in the disease courses.

Objective/background: When isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is combined with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the pattern of temporal association between REM without atonia (RWA) and apnea-hypopnea events may be related to improvements in RBD symptoms after positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. We evaluated the frequency of improvement in RBD symptoms after PAP and the relationship of the degree of co-occurrence between RWA and apnea-hypopnea events to RBD symptom improvement after PAP treatment.
Patients/methods: In an institutional cohort with sleep disorders, 31 patients with video-polysomnography confirmed iRBD and concomitant OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥15/h who received PAP treatment were included.

The time a patient spends waiting to be seen by a healthcare professional is an important determinant of patient satisfaction in outpatient care. Hence, it is crucial to identify parameters that affect the waiting time and optimize it accordingly. First, statistical analysis was used to validate the effective parameters.
