TL;DR: A large number of malnutrition assessment methods are used in cancer research and content validity of these methods varies widely, but none of these assessment methods has acceptable content validity when compared against a construct based on ESPEN and ASPEN definitions of malnutrition.

TL;DR: It is apparent from these results that a number of factors need to be considered when a student is planning to return to study following TBI and that a range of support services may be required.
Abstract: During the 12 month period of January-December 1991, 75 admissions were made to the Head Injury Unit at Bethesda Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Approximately 26% (20) of these admissions were eith...

TL;DR: The E test is reliable and that subpopulations are responsible for discordant results, which means that resistant and susceptible bacteria were found in five cases.
Abstract: Metronidazole susceptibility testing by E test was compared to that by disk diffusion for 263 Helicobacter pylori isolates and to that by breakpoint agar dilution for 90 H. pylori isolates. In 5% and 6% of the cases, respectively, results were discrepant. For each of 52 clinical isolates an E test was performed on 10 separate colonies. Subpopulations of resistant and susceptible bacteria were found in five cases. From three isolates, each colony was subcultured and tested up to 10 times. All but 1 of 292 tests showed the same result. We conclude that the E test is reliable and that subpopulations are responsible for discordant results.

TL;DR: A beneficial effect of health education in stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients on health behaviour, risk reduction or stroke outcome has not been proven, and no specific method is superior, although the individualised, repetitive and active methods appear more successful.
Abstract: Health education aims at the acquisition of skills and attitudes to modify behaviour that influences health, leads to a modification of risk factors and ultimately to a decrease in disability and case fatality from stroke. Health education is an underdeveloped but important aspect of stroke care. Health education could promote compliance and healthy behaviour, improve patients' understanding of their health status and treatment options and facilitate communication. We reviewed the effect of health education in stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients, aiming at feasibility, effectiveness at the level of knowledge, attitude and skills, health behaviour changes and stroke outcome. We also describe the current status of health education for patients with recent coronary artery disease and public health education in stroke. Basic knowledge of stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients of their disease and associated risk factors is not sufficient. This is also observed in patients with coronary artery disease and in the general population. A beneficial effect of health education in stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients on health behaviour, risk reduction or stroke outcome has not been proven. Trials in patients with coronary artery disease, however, have shown that health education could result in a change of lifestyle. No specific method is superior, although the individualised, repetitive and active methods appear more successful. More intervention studies of health education in stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients are needed. Future trials should be large, have a long follow-up, should use an intensive and repetitive approach and involve patients' relatives to induce and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
