Performance of SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP risk algorithms in a Cypriot cohort
CONCLUSIONS: SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP moderate risk algorithms performs well in the Cypriot population for predicting the 10-year risk for MI, stroke and fatal cardiovascular disease. However, an estimate of the 10-year risk for all ASCVD events is best calculated from the high-risk algorithm.PMID:36285529 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.22.04958-6

Adaptation of The Scenario Test for Greek-speaking people with aphasia: A reliability and validity study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The psychometric qualities of The Scenario Test-GR support the reliability and validity of the tool for the assessment of FC in Greek-speaking PWA. The test can be used to assess multimodal FC, promote aphasia rehabilitation goal-setting at the activity and participation levels, and be used as an outcome measure of everyday communication abilities.PMID:35555844 | DOI:10.1111/1460-6984.12727

Burden of non-communicable diseases in Cyprus, 1990 –2017: findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study
ConclusionDespite a decrease in the burden of NCDs over the period from 1990 to 2017, NCDs are still a major public health challenge. Implementation of interventions and early detection screening programmes of modifiable NCD risk factors are needed to reduce occurrence and exacerbation of leading causes of NCDs in the Cypriot population.

The informative exhibition of diagnostic imaging
Imaging is a critical tool in medical examination and diagnosis including radiology, pathology and so on. Three selected articles are introduced here to demonstrate the state-of-the-art quantitative image analysis developed for medicine. An international research group including Japan, USA, Spain, Italy, and Cyprus submitted “Automated segmental-IMT measurement in thin/thick plaque with bulb presence in carotid ultrasound from multiple scanners: Stroke risk assessment” [1] to standardize carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement for stroke risk assessment.
