Clinical Effectiveness of High Induction Electromagnetic Stimulation in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textBackground: High Induction Electromagnetic Stimulation (HIES) is a new treatment modality. The clinical effectiveness of HIES applied in addition to conservative treatment in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is unclear. Objective: To examine the effects of HIES, applied in addition to conservative treatment on symptoms, functions, and activities of daily life in patients with SIS. Methods: A total of 36 participants diagnosed with SIS were included in the single- blinded randomized controlled study. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH) for upper extremity physical function, and the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) for the level of disability were used. The range of motion (ROM) measurements of the shoulder joint were performed using a goniometer. In the four-week rehabilitation program, one group (n = 19) received conservative treatment for 45 min, five days a week. The other group (n = 17) received HIES in addition to conservative treatment, applied in 10-min sessions with a one-day interval between sessions, for a total of 10 sessions. Results: Post-treatment DASH score was found to be lower in the HIES group than in the conservative treatment group (p < 0.01). When the delta values obtained by subtracting the pre-treatment measurements from the post-treatment measurements were examined, the ΔVAS (p = 0.037) and ΔDASH (p < 0.01) values were significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: HIES applied in addition to conservative treatment in patients diagnosed with SIS is more effective than conservative treatment alone in improving clinical outcomes and reducing pain. © The Author(s) 202
Perceptions of Pediatric Nurses by Mothers of Children With Hospitalization Experience: A Qualitative Study
No full textIntroduction: A child's illness or hospitalization is a complex process experienced by the child, parents, and family members. Methods: The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of pediatric nurses by mothers of hospitalized children. It was conducted with 13 mothers of children with hospitalization experience. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis were performed. This study followed the COREQ checklist. Results: Four themes and seventeen subthemes emerged from the data. The themes consisted of the pediatric nurse through the eyes of mothers, mothers' positive experiences with pediatric nurses, mothers' negative experiences with pediatric nurses, and expectations from pediatric nurses. Discussion: Mothers' perceptions of pediatric nurses in the context of hospitalization experiences were influenced by their positive and negative communication experiences with the nurses. As a result of these experiences, expectations regarding the care they desired to receive from the nurses emerged. Implications for practice: The findings of this study provide insight into mothers' perceptions of nurses and nursing care. Mothers have fundamental expectations regarding enhancing nurses' communication and clinical care skills to ensure adequate support for their children and themselves throughout hospitalization. © 2025 Elsevier Inc
Manufacturing Parameters' Effects on the Flexural Properties of 3D-Printed PLA
No full textIn this study, the effects of infill ratio, layer thickness, nozzle temperature, and raster angle on the flexural strength of polylactic acid material were investigated through microstructural analysis. A total of 10 different sample groups were produced, changing the parameters of the filling ratio (20, 40, 60, 80 >%), layer thickness (0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 >mm), nozzle temperature (210, 220, 230 >°C), and raster angle (±45°, 0/90°). Three-point bending tests were conducted using the Shimadzu bending machine, and the results were used to calculate maximum bending stress, modulus of elasticity, and strain values. The results showed that the values of maximum bending stress and modulus of elasticity vary significantly with changes in layer thickness, filling ratio, nozzle temperature, and raster angle. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images were obtained from the longitudinal cross-section of the samples in the failure area. The obtained images were used to identify the gaps between beads, voids, porosity, filament rapture, pull-out breakage, elongation, and necking patterns on the samples. The variations in flexural properties were verified by using SEM micrographs in the failure area. © 2025 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston
Nonsuicidal Self-Injury as a Mediator Between Dissociative Experiences and Suicide Risk in Adolescents: Insights From a Clinical Setting
No full textA burgeoning body of evidence suggests a higher prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors among adolescents. This study aimed to examine the comorbid internalizing symptoms and suicidal behaviors, along with associations between dissociative experiences and suicide risk in adolescents attending a psychiatric outpatient unit in Ankara, TÜrkiye. The study included 81 adolescents aged 12-18 years, who engaged in NSSI and sought treatment at a psychiatric outpatient clinic. Psychiatric evaluations were conducted through semi-structured clinical interviews. NSSI behaviors were assessed using the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury, and suicide risk was measured using the Suicide Probability Scale. Additionally, internalizing symptoms and dissociative experiences were evaluated using the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version and the Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale, respectively. Moderate to high correlations were found among suicide risk, dissociation, NSSI severity, anxiety and internalizing scores. Mediation analysis revealed that NSSI significantly mediated the relationship between dissociation and suicide risk. These findings indicate that assessing both dissociation and NSSI could provide valuable insights into comprehending and addressing adolescent suicide, thereby facilitating the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the effects of dissociative experiences. © The Author(s), 2025
Understanding Memories in the Interface of Space: Collage as a Representational Tool in Design Education; Mekân Arakesitinde Anıları Anlama: Tasarım Eğitiminde Bir Temsil Aracı Olarak Kolaj
No full textThe concept of space and how it’s perceived is a subject that has been discussed and generated ideas about it for centuries and remains current. The definition and examination of mental and sensory processes in the perception of space have become the subject of many studies. This study includes the workshop's results supported by TUBITAK within the scope of 2237-A Scientific Education Activities Support to \"express and interpret the memories of the individual in a spatial and sensory context with the collage technique\". The first part of the workshop was designed as a theoretical part in which the concepts of \"space, perception, memory, and experience\" were discussed. The second part was designed as a practical part in which the participants embodied their memories with the collage technique. Within the scope of this study, first, the issue of space and perception of space was opened to discussion. In addition, a conceptual framework was created by explaining the general usage of the collage technique and its use in space expression. In the field study section, the participants' feelings about their memories and their relationships with the place were interpreted through their collage works. The results revealed that the scope and duration of education received affected the perception of space, and collage was an appropriate technique for expressing personal and subjective judgments. It is envisaged that the study makes an important contribution to the literature as it evaluates a subjective subject from a different perspective and can be open to many interpretations. © 2025, Ataturk Universitesi.
