OBJECTIVE To develop and validate in Spain a test to measure fear of injecting and selftesting [HIAT-I](c) in diabetic patients by translating and adapting the original English version of the Diabetes Fear of Injecting and Self-Testing Questionnaire (D-FISQ). PATIENTS AND METHOD Forward-backward translations in duplicate were carried out and were revised by an expert and a nonexpert panel. Me...

The Diabetes Fear of Injecting and Self-Testing Questionnaire (DFISQ) has been validated in the adult population (1–4), but there is no reliable tool to assess needle fear in the pediatric population with type 1 diabetes. Our objectives were to demonstrate the reliability of the D-FISQ in the pediatric type 1 diabetic population, to evaluate the prevalence of needle fear, and to determine the a...

Introdução: O Exercício Nórdico dos Isquiotibiais (ENI) tem sido objeto de polêmicas relativas à sua utilização; alguns pesquisadores afirmam que ele pode contribuir para lesões nos isquiotibiais, outros preconizam os efeitos terapêuticos do ENI. Objetivo: discutir a partir um modelo biomecânico simples, as forças isométricas exercidas pelos isquiotibiais (Fisq) e resultante sobre o joelho (Rj)...

A holey Schröder design of type h1 1 h n2 2 . . . h nk k (HSD(h n1 1 h n2 2 . . . h nk k )) is equivalent to a frame idempotent Schröder quasigroup (FISQ(h1 1 h n2 2 . . . hk k )) of order n with ni missing subquasigroups (holes) of order hi, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, which are disjoint and spanning, that is, ∑1≤i≤k nihi = n. In this paper, we consider the existence of HSD(4u) for 0 ≤ u ≤ 36 and show that the...

Women’s lack of legal veiling, as the non-feasance of a divine obligation in the Islamic society, is a criminal act for which the law has foreseen punishment. This behavior and its instances are called “tabarruj” (bedizenment) in the Islamic narrations. Notwithstanding the viewpoint of those who follow the superficial enlightenments of recent centuries and do not consider bedizenment so reprehe...

BACKGROUND Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for mental health disorders, but even with the most efficacious treatment, many patients do not experience improvement. Moderator analysis can identify the conditions under which treatment is effective or whether there are factors that can attenuate the effects of treatment. METHODS In this study, linear mixed model analysis was used to exami...
