Attitudes and Perceptions of Corresponding Authors From Top International Medical Journals Regarding the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Scientific Process

"Artificial intelligence (AI), including large language models and conversational tools, is increasingly being used in medical research. These tools may assist researchers at different stages of the scientific process, such as generating research ideas, reviewing the literature, analyzing data, writing manuscripts, and preparing articles for publication. While interest in AI is growing rapidly, there is still limited information on how these tools are actually perceived and used by leading medical researchers. This study aims to better understand the attitudes, perceptions, and self-reported uses of artificial intelligence among corresponding authors who have published in six major international medical journals. These authors play a key role in shaping scientific standards and editorial practices, and their views are essential to understanding how AI may influence the future of medical research. Participants are invited to complete an anonymous online questionnaire that asks about their familiarity with AI tools, how and when they use or plan to use them in the research process, the potential benefits they perceive, and the concerns or limitations they identify. The survey also explores participants' expectations regarding transparency, ethical guidance, and journal policies related to the use of artificial intelligence in scientific work.The study is observational and does not involve any medical intervention or collection of personal or health-related data. Participation is voluntary, and responses are fully anonymous.

Study of Running Injuries and Treatment Habits in Romanian Speakers

This study examines running injuries, quality of life, and treatment habits among Romanian-speaking runners. A key objective is the Romanian language adaptation and validation of the University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI), a running-specific questionnaire. The purpose is to understand: * What types of running injuries are most common * How injuries affect runners' daily life and well-being * What prevention and treatment methods runners currently use * What healthcare services runners use for injuries * To provide a validated Romanian version of the UWRI questionnaire Participants will complete an online questionnaire about their running experience, any injuries they have had, how these injuries affected their life, and what treatments they tried. The survey takes about 25-30 minutes to complete. All information is confidential and anonymous. This research will help healthcare providers better understand and treat running injuries in the Romanian-speaking community.

Assessment of Overall Functioning in Patients With Complex Health Issues

The overall aim of the study is to assess whether each outcome measures the same aspect of overall functioning or contributes with different aspects. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between each single instrument. During study period all patients presenting at our clinic will be offered to participate in the study. Patients will be included in the study when referred to the department of Social Medicine and providing written informed consent to participate in the study. Inclusion will continue until 100 patients have completed an AMPS test. All participants will, apart from standard procedure, be asked to complete: * An AMPS-test * ADL-Q (Questionnaire concerning Activities of Daily Living) * ADL-I (Interview based questionnaire concerning Activites of Daily Living) As standard procedure all participants will also perform/complete: * 30 seconds chair stand test (30sCST) * Hand grip strength (HGS) * Evaluation of ambulation (Cumulated Ambulation Score /CAS) * WORQ (Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire) To obtain the aim of the study correlation-analysis will be performed to investigate the relationship between each included instruments.

The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index Arabic Version

To evaluate, translate, culturally adapt, validate, and investigate the reliability of Arabic version of The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC). The null hypothesis of this study will be stated as: Arabic language version of the WORC doesn't have face, content, or construct validity enough to measure quality of life related to rotator cuff disorders in Arabic patients. Arabic language version of the WORC doesn't have reliability to measure quality of life related to rotator cuff disorders in Arabic patients

The NutriNet-Santé Study

The NutriNet-Santé study was set up to investigate nutrition and health relationships. Specifically, it was the first web-based cohort worldwide on such a large scale (n=171 000 as of 2021) focused on the complex link between nutrition and health status. It is characterized by a very detailed assessment of nutritional exposure and dietary behavior. https://etude-nutrinet-sante.fr/ https://info.etude-nutrinet-sante.fr/en
