Abstract

The North American instrument Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was created to assess the oral health-related quality of life of preschool children and their families. Its use in Brazil requires prior cultural adaptation, and semantic equivalence is one step in this process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the semantic equivalence between the ECOHIS and its Brazilian version. The methodology included six steps: translation of the ECOHIS into Portuguese, done by two translators; a pre-test, in which the two translations were tested in a group of 20 parents/guardians of children 2-5 years of age; unification of the two versions; two back-translations done independently by two translators; review of the translations and back-translations; and production of a final version of the questionnaire. The two translated versions were very similar, and after completion of all steps a final version of the ECOHIS was obtained. The use of translations and back-translations carefully evaluated by experts and incorporating suggestions from the target population allowed the development of a Brazilian version of the ECOHIS that is semantically equivalent to the original instrument.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation
