This study examined why some high achievers on the course final exam were unsuccessful on the proficiency exam in English. We hypothesized that the learning motives and learning behaviors (learning strategy, learning time) had different effects on the outcomes of the exams. First, the relation between the variables was…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in nephrology, including rehabilitation planning for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, most AI systems are predominantly trained on English-language data, which may influence the quality and clinical relevance of the generated recommendations.To evalu…

: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being evaluated for clinically relevant diagnostic tasks, yet their performance may vary across languages. We aimed to determine whether input language influences LLM diagnostic reasoning in vignette-based clinical tasks and to inform multilingual predeployment evaluation…

BACKGROUND: Because the CVSS17 was originally developed in Spanish, the objective of this study was to adapt it linguistically and culturally into English while evaluating its psychometric properties. METHODS: After translating and adapting the CVSS17 to English, 441 participants (aged 18 to 65 years) from a general p…

BACKGROUND: Implementing scientific knowledge in clinical practice is a challenge. In this context, the effective dissemination of scientific findings is of utmost importance. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a Practice Brief in Portuguese, Spanish and English based on a previously published Clinical Pr…

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the effect of limited English proficiency on access to neuro-oncologic surgery. We compared rates of emergent/urgent admission and admission to high-volume hospitals for English and non-English primary language patients with brain neoplasms.

T-cell leukemia/lymphoma accounts for roughly 30% of all types of lymphoproliferative neoplasia in dogs. Two forms of T-cell lymphoma (T-zone and peripheral T-cell lymphoma) exhibit breed-specific predilections. During the course of routine immunophenotyping, we observed a breed-specific presentation of a unique form o…

BACKGROUND: Implementation frameworks may support local implementation strategies with a sound theoretical foundation. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) facilitates identification of contextual barriers and facilitators, and the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) allows id…

BACKGROUND: English bulldogs disproportionally develop an expansion of small B-cells, which has been interpreted as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (BCLL). However, clonality testing in these cases has often not been supportive of neoplasia. HYPOTHESIS: English bulldogs have a syndrome of nonneoplastic B-cell expa…

An English-language version of an instrument assessing itch-related cognitions is needed since cognitions can contribute to a worseni…

The aim of the study was to test the cross-language generative capability of a model that predicts neural activation patterns evoked by sentence reading, based on a semantic characterization of the sentence. In a previous study on English monolingual speakers (Wang et al., submitted), a computational model performed a…

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7) is a self-report questionnaire that is widely used to screen for anxiety. The GAD-7 has been translated into numerous languages, including Spanish. Previous studies evaluating the structural validity of the English and Spanish versions indicate a unidimensional factor st…

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is a significant women's health problem in the United States. However, critical information on specific populations is still lacking.

The severity of child psychiatric disorders is commonly associated with child language delays. However, the characteristics of these associations in the fast-growing population of bilingual children remain unknown. To begin to address this gap, we studied a unique sample of Spanish-English bilingual children with signi…

OBJECTIVES: Pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic transplant or cellular therapy (TCT) are at increased risk of developing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). The role of language barriers in CLABSI risk has not been well-explored in this population. This study aimed to evaluate the risk for…

This paper examines kinematic patterns of jaw opening and associated F1 values of 4 American English speakers in productions of the sentence 'I saw five bright highlights in the sky'.
