OBJECTIVE To translate and culturally adapt to Portuguese the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index Spinal Cord Injury - Version III and characterize the sample in relation to sociodemographic and clinical aspects. METHOD A methodological study with view to cross-cultural adaptation, following the particular steps of this method: initial translation, translation synthesis, back-translation (translation back to the original language), review by a committee of judges and pretest of the final version. The pretest was carried out with 30 patients with spinal cord injury. RESULTS An index of 74 items divided into two parts (satisfaction/importance) was obtained. The criteria of semantic equivalence were evaluated as very adequate translation, higher than 87%, and vocabulary and were grammar higher than 86%. Idiomatic equivalence was higher than 74%, experimental greater than 78% and conceptual was greater than 70%. CONCLUSION After cross-cultural adaptation, the instrument proved semantic, idiomatic, experimental and conceptual adequacy, in addition to helping the evaluation of the quality of life of people with spinal cord injury.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Patienten mit gastroösophagealem Reflux (GERD) leiden oft sehr unter der Symptomatik. Im Rahmen unserer Studie galt es deshalb herauszufinden, ob sich die Lebensqualität und die Symptome bei Patienten mit objektiv nachgewiesener GERD von Patienten ohne funktionell bewiesenes Korrelat unterscheidet. Material und Methoden Eingeschlossen wurden alle Patienten mit typischer Refluxsymptomatik, die 2017 an unserer Abteilung für Allgemein-, Viszeral- und Thoraxchirurgie hinsichtlich des Vorliegens einer GERD abgeklärt wurden. Alle Patienten erhielten eine hochauflösende Manometrie, 24-h-Impedanz-pH-Metrie und eine Gastroskopie. Die Lebensqualität wurde mittels Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) und die gastrointestinale Symptomatik mittels einer Symptomcheckliste (SCL) evaluiert. Mittels SCL wurde die Schwere und Intensität von 14 verschiedenen Symptomen eruiert. Basierend auf den Resultaten der 24-h-pH-Impedanzmessung wurden die Patienten in 2 Gruppen eingeteilt – Patienten mit gastroösophagealer Refluxerkrankung und Patienten mit rein funktioneller Symptomatik ohne organisches Korrelat. Diese Gruppen wurden miteinander verglichen. Ergebnisse Ein vollständiger Datensatz war bei 162 Patienten verfügbar, wovon 86 Patienten (52,2%) objektiv an Reflux erkrankt waren (DeMeester-Mittelwert: 37,85; SD ± 29,11) und 76 Patienten (46,1%) einen unauffälligen DeMeester-Score (Mittelwert: 7,01; SD ± 4,09) aufwiesen. Zwischen diesen beiden Gruppen konnte kein signifikanter Unterschied in der Lebensqualität gefunden werden (Mittelwert GIQLI von GERD-Patienten: 94,81; SD ± 22,40; Mittelwert GIQLI von Patienten mit rein funktionellen Symptomen: 95,26; SD ± 20,33; p = 0,988). Außerdem konnte kein signifikanter Unterschied in der Symptomwahrnehmung der Patienten gefunden werden (Mittelwert SCL-Score von Refluxpatienten: 46,97; SD ± 29,23; Mittelwert SCL-Score bei Patienten mit rein funktioneller Symptomatik 48,03; SD ± 29,17; p = 0,827). Schlussfolgerung Patienten mit funktionellen Refluxbeschwerden unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich des Leidensdrucks nicht von Patienten mit objektiv bewiesener Refluxerkrankung. Eine Differenzierung zwischen gastroösophagealer Refluxerkrankung und funktionellen Refluxsymptomen ist nur mittels Funktionsdiagnostik möglich.

Osteoporosis is an alarming issue in the society today. It is continuously increasing its signicance with increasing elderly population and is affecting both the sexes at different degrees. It is characterized by low bone mass with microarchitectural deterioration of bone leading to enhanced bone fragility, thus increasing the susceptibility to fracture. Taking into account the references available in various Ayurvedic classics it can be correlated to Asthikshaya. Asthikshaya occurs due to decrease in strength of Asthi Dhatu chiey due to Kala, Swabhava and Vata Prakopa. International Osteoporosis Foundation estimated that the annual direct cost of treating osteoporotic fractures has increased grossly. In India the general population is not much aware about the hazardous complications of osteoporosis. The modern pharmacological treatment is long and beyond the nancial reach of common people. Therefore the best way to deal with it is to prevent this as early as possible. To achieve this aim a clinical study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an Ayurvedic Formulation known as Eleg Fem capsules (Asthishrinkhalaadi Yoga) in osteoporotic patients. In the clinical trial 30 patients above the age of 40 years with low BMD T-Score were registered from OPD and IPD of Kayachikitsa department of Rajiv Gandhi Govt. Post Graduate Ayurvedic College and Hospital Paprola, Kangra. Out of 30 patients, 27 completed the trial and 3 patients were drop out. Criteria of assessment of patients was change in bone mineral density (BMD T- Score) and change in the score of Quality of Life Index Questionnaire for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41). All the registered patients were given the formulation for 6 weeks. Improvement was observed with statistically signicant results on mean BMD TScore and moderately signicant result on Quality of Life Index scoring. The study revealed that the Eleg Fem capsules (Asthishrinkhalaadi Yoga) is a safe and effective therapy in the Osteoporotic patients.
