Abstract Despite the well-established benefits of regular physical activity (PA) on health, a large proportion of the world population does not achieve the recommended level of regular PA. Although affective experiences toward PA may play a key role to foster a sustained engagement in PA, they have been largely overlooked and crudely measured in the existing studies. To address this shortcoming, the Affective Exercise Experiences (AFFEXX) questionnaire has been developed to measure such experiences. Specifically, this questionnaire was developped to assess the following three domains: antecedent appraisals (e.g., liking vs. disliking exercise in groups), core affective… More >

Abstract Introduction: Resident training in vasectomy, especially in the office setting on the awake patient, may be limited. The aim of this study is to understand resident exposure to vasectomy and to identify barriers to learning.
Materials and methods: An anonymous 18-question survey was distributed to urology residents of the 135 ACGME-accredited urology residencies in the United States. Residents were asked to specify the total number of vasectomies they had performed and in what environment (operating room versus office), their comfort performing vasectomy independently, and any barriers to learning the procedure.
Results: In total, 119 residents responded to the… More >

Abstract Overinvolved/protective parenting has emerged in child development literature as part of the etiology of internalizing problems (anxiety/depression). This review aimed to explore overinvolved/protective parenting questionnaires that exist in the internalizing literature for different childhood periods and their psychometric properties (reliability, validity, norms). A systematic review was conducted through seven databases and Google Scholar. Extraction and evaluation of psychometric properties were double coded. Four hundred and sixty publications were screened for eligibility, with 20 of these further assessed. Ten overinvolved/protective parenting questionnaires were described in the literature (between 1993 and 2019) six starting as young as More >

Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in pediatric populations varies between 1% to 20%. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of NE in schoolchildren living in Tekirdag, a city in Western Turkey.
Materials and methods: We distributed a questionnaire to 11324 schoolchildren aged 7 to 14 years who were living in Tekirdag. The questionnaires were filled in by the children's parents. The main study endpoints were the prevalence of NE, and its association with sociodemographic factors of the children and their parents.
Results: The results from 9210 children (81.4%) who returned fully completed… More >

Abstract Objective: To investigate whether there is any significant difference between the electronic and the paper-based version of Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 questionnaire (UDI-6) and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 questionnaire (IIQ-7).
Materials and methods: An electronic questionnaire and clinical tool was developed using a combination of open source questionnaire software and custom programming that closely replicated the paper version of the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires. Ethics were reviewed and approved by the University Health Network of Toronto. The study randomized participants from the Urinary Incontinence Clinic to either complete the paper-and-pen version of the questionnaires or the electronic version… More >

Abstract The use of radiation therapy in the radical treatment of prostate cancer can lead to potential acute and long-term toxicity and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) changes. Ongoing investigation into dose-escalation, dose-per-fraction escalation, new radiation treatment technology/ paradigms, and novel systemic therapy may have either positive and/or negative effects on normal tissue toxicity/ HRQoL. Herein, common toxicity scales and HRQoL instruments that attempt to describe the deleterious effects of prostate radiation therapy are reviewed. More >
