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

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

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.

Over two hours screen time a day may raise a child’s blood pressure
Conclusion
The study found a worryingly high incidence of high blood pressure in children of just over 10%, instead of the expected 5%. It also found that low levels of physical activity and high levels of “screen time” raised the risk.
Although researchers adjusted their analysis for a range of other factors which might affect blood pressure (called confounders), it is always possible that other unmeasured factors could have affected the results. In addition, the study was reliant on parental estimates of the amount of sedentary behaviour their children had per day, which may be an over- or underestimate. Wearing the ...
