The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) is a biaxial tool TMD assessment. To implement translated version in the Brazilian context, standardised adaptation and validation are necessary. translate, adapt verify measurement properties of DC/TMD Axis II instruments Pain Drawing (PD), Graded Chronic Scale (GCPS), Jaw Functional Limitation (JFLS) Oral Behaviours Checklist (OBC). translation cross-cultural processes orofacial-related followed Guidelines Establishing Cultural Equivalency. research was carried out with 117 Brazilians TMD, two assessment days. Structural validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, error, construct validity-hypothesis testing, ceiling floor effects were tested. PD showed substantial reliability (Kappa 0.63), GCPS, JFLS OBC excellent over time (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.85). consistency adequate all (Cronbach's alpha 0.77) except functional activities domain = 0.48). Construct validity good (75% hypotheses confirmed), total score. Regarding parameters structural GCPS Goodness Fit Index 0.98 solution domains. presented < 0.90 solutions three domains, respectively.

Research trends and performance of endothelin A receptor antagonist in kidney care: a bibliometric analysis

Renal Failure, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 47(1)

Published: April 11, 2025

Endothelin A receptor antagonists (ERAs) have emerged as pivotal therapeutic agents in managing pulmonary hypertension (PH) and various kidney disorders, including chronic disease (CKD) proteinuric glomerular diseases such IgA nephropathy (IgAN) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Although initially developed for applications, recent research has highlighted their renoprotective effects, expanding role nephrology. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global trends, key contributors, emerging applications ERAs care over the past three decades. was performed using Science Citation Index Expanded database (1992-2023). Relevant kidney-related publications were identified through specific keyword searches. Author performance assessed Y-index.

This study aimed to explore seasonal variations in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) prevalence South Korea, utilizing nationwide population-based big data. Data corresponding the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases code K07.6, which identifies TMD, were extracted from Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service online platform for period 2010 2022. Additionally, we integrated these data with climate temperature records Meteorological Administration. We subsequently conducted a statistical analysis TMD patient on monthly basis over past 13 years assess prevalence. Over years, number patients Korea has steadily increased. The rose 0.48% (224,708 out total population 50,515,666) 0.94% (482,241 51,439,038) 2022, marking 1.96-fold increase. Among children under 10 age, no significant differences observed between boys girls. However, distinct female predominance emerged after age 10, an average female-to-male ratio 1.51:1. peak occurred individuals their 20 s, followed by adolescents late s. majority concentrated Seoul Gyeonggi province, metropolitan areas accounting 50% count. Seasonally, numbers showed increase winter compared spring or summer. difference, defined as absolute difference highest lowest temperatures each month, positive correlation counts. A greater was associated higher strongest (r = 0.480, p < 0.01), summer 0.443, 0.366, 0.05).
