The effect of conventional physiotherapy and median nerve radiofrequency therapy on kinesiophobia in lumbar facet syndrome
Authors: Ege Ferhat , Ege Funda Çiçek 
Published: January 2024

Aim: This study was carried out to investigate the effect of conventional physiotherapy (CPT) and median nerve radiofrequency therapy (MNRFT) on kinesiophobia in patients with lumbar facet syndrome (LFS).
Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 60 patients over 18 with facet joint pain persisting for at least 3 months and unresponsive to medical treatment were included in the study. The patients were divided into CPT and MNRFT groups of 30 patients each according to the treatment they received. The patients were evaluated for pain severity, kinesiophobia, sleep quality, functional status, and depression both before the treatment and one month after the treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively.
Results: There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment VAS, PSQI, ODI, and BDE scores in both the CPT and MNRFT groups. Additionally, there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment TKS scores in the RFT group, but not in the CPT group. There was no significant difference between the groups in any of the pre-treatment scores. There was also no significant difference between the groups in the post-treatment scores, except for the TKS scores.
Conclusion: The study findings indicated that MNRFT and median nerve blockade reduced kinesiophobia more than CPT.
Traumatic thigh AV fistula leading to aneurysmal changes in aorta and iliac arteries
Authors: Zaki S , Hilles A , Chandrasekar R 
Published: January 2024

Penetrating traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have the tendency to be clinically silent for many years and could be misdiagnosed as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) on initial presentation.	A 52-year-old male underwent a duplex scan to evaluate swelling of the limb, which detected an AVF in the thigh. He was stabbed in the lateral aspect of the thigh 16 years previously. His left leg was larger with a palpable thrill in the thigh. A CT angiogram confirmed the AVF and aneurysmal changes in the common iliac artery (29 mm) and infrarenal aorta (32 mm). A moulding balloon was placed across the AVF by an antegrade puncture of the common femoral artery to control the arterial inflow and outflow. Following disconnection of the AVF, the defect in the side wall of the femoral vein was primarily repaired with Prolene. The defect in the superficial femoral artery was repaired by transection, spatulation and end-to-end anastomosis of the arteries. A Duplex scan performed six months postoperatively showed that the aorta (29 mm) and the common iliac artery (27 mm) had regressed. The authors suggest that, when faced with an AVF with a huge calibre mismatch between the arterial segment proximal and distal to the fistulous tract in a young patient, a hybrid approach should be considered for control and surgical disconnection of the fistula.

Spatial Relations and Police Legitimacy in a Digitally Mediated World
Cawthray and Bull in their study titled, “The Spatial Dimension of Police Legitimacy: An Exploration of Two Pacific Island States”, map the significance of spatial relationships – defined in terms of physical or geographical distance and social distance – in their analysis of police legitimacy in rural and remote contexts. They demonstrate the importance of connecting spatial relationships with police legitimacy by analysing empirical data from two Pacific island case studies. Their conclusion suggest that the relationship should be tested across a broader range of cases that include Global North, urban and virtual settings. This article takes up this challenge by focusing on the spatial relations of police legitimacy in urban settings embedded in a digitally mediated world. Our secondary analysis of ethnographic observational and interview data collected in neighbourhood policing settings in Belgium demonstrates how the proximity or distance between police officers in their interactions with both officers and citizens, whether constituted in neighbourhood settings or digital domains, can be linked to conceptualizations of police legitimacy. We argue that contextually defined elements of spatiality (physical, social or virtual) should be considered in assessments of how perceptions of police legitimacy shape interactions between police officers and citizens.

Published: January 2024

Saat dunia masih disibukkan dengan munculnya virus corona (Covid-19). Virus corona, tidak hanya berdampak pada masyarakat, tetapi pada anak juga yang merupakan penerus dalam kemajuan bangsa dan negara. Terutama pada kesehatan mental anak. Penyebaran virus COVID-19 berdampak pada kesehatan mental anak yang tidak bisa dilihat hanya dari satu sisi saja. Seperti penutupan sekolah dan layanan masyarakat, serta interaksi sosial yang dibatasi, memperpendek jumlah kegiatan sehari-hari anak. Perubahan kondisi ini dapat mengganggu rutinitas rutin mereka dan memaksa mereka melakukan penyesuaian pada situasi tersebut. Tujuan penelitian nya adalah untuk mengetahui peran Forum Anak Batang dalam menjaga kesehatan mental anak di masa pandemi Covid-19. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, dimana dalam penelitian ini peneliti menggunakan cara komunikasi secara langsung untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara langsung yang bersangkutan dengan teknik rekam dan catat. Data yang berhasil dikumpulkan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Menjaga kesehatan mental itu sangat penting, karena kesehatan mental itu kesejahteraan fisik dan sosial yang bagus. Apabila kesehatan mental mereka terganggu otomatis kesejahteraan tersebut akan terganggu juga dan kembali lagi tidak terpenuhinya hak-hak anak yang mana hak tersebut harus dipenuhi. Selama ini juga terdapat beberapa anggota dari Forum Anak Batang yang kesehatan mentalnya terganggu. Sehingga harus dilakukan tindakan agar kesehatan mereka tetap terjaga dengan mengajak mereka untuk ngobrol atau sharing permasalahannya, jangan biarkan mereka itu merasa sendirian selalu temani mereka, ajak mereka bermain atau rekreasi, jangan sudutkan mereka atau hakimi mereka atas perbuatannya, jangan merasa kasihan didepan mereka karena sejatinya mereka tidak ingin dikasihani.

Este estudo discorre sobre a Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho – QVT e seu importante papel na percepção dos docentes da Educação a Distância (EaD). O objetivo é analisar a percepção dos professores de EaD em relação à QVT, considerando a estrutura peculiar dessa modalidade. A metodologia empregada foi categorizada como um estudo empírico, isto é, de natureza de campo, adotando uma abordagem quantitativa, de caráter descritivo e exploratório. A amostragem adotada neste estudo foi definida como não probabilística aleatória. A amostra utilizada compõe-se de 23 professores formadores e tutores do curso Bacharelado em Administração Pública. Vale destacar que a escolha de tais indivíduos deu-se pelo envolvimento e ligação deles com o foco do problema em estudo. Os dados foram coletados mediante questionários (Google Forms), gerando categorias de variáveis por meio da análise quantitativa. Para a tabulação e o processamento estatístico dos resultados da pesquisa (análise quantitativa), foi utilizada a planilha eletrônica Excel 2010. A análise dos dados, realizada por meio da Escala-QVT (Rueda, 2013), revela percepções específicas sobre quatro fatores: Integração, Respeito e Autonomia; Compensação Justa e Adequada; Possibilidades de Lazer e Convívio Social; Incentivo e Suporte. A partir dessa análise, foram constatadas áreas de concordância e discordância, proporcionando reflexões sobre aspectos positivos e desafios enfrentados pelos professores. Além disso, identificam-se necessidades específicas, como revisões salariais e programas de incentivo ao desenvolvimento profissional, como forma de fortalecer a QVT na EaD. Conclui-se ainda que estratégias direcionadas são essenciais para melhorar a satisfação e o desempenho dos docentes, considerando as peculiaridades da modalidade.

Published: January 2024

Refletir sobre a presença ativa de familiares na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva na perspectiva da enfermagem. Trata-se de um estudo teórico reflexivo, fundamentado no pensamento crítico de seus autores, fruto das discussões ocorridas durante as aulas da disciplina Comunicação, Saúde e Educação para o Autocuidado do Curso de Mestrado do Programa de Pós-gradução em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Maranhão. O estudo estrutura-se em dois eixos temáticos: Fragilidades e potencialidades da vivência da práxis de enfermagem na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva com a presença de familiares; Impactos da comunicação aberta e transparente na redução de mal-entendidos e tensões entre familiares e a enfrermagem. Situações estressantes afetam profissionais e familiares, exigindo cuidados transcendentais da enfermagem para construir vínculos, promover o cuidado centrado na família e reduzir o sofrimento familiar durante a hospitalização. A comunicação efetiva com cuidadores é crucial para evitar lacunas, conflitos e impactos negativos na esperança familiar. A comunicação transparente reduz dúvidas, fortalece relações terapêuticas e necessita de sensibilidade, simplificação e consideração às barreiras ético-culturais e linguísticas. A enfermagem intensiva exige habilidades técnicas, empatia e resiliência. Apesar de desafiadora, a presença dos familiares é uma oportunidade valiosa para estabelecer parceria no cuidado. A garantia da presença do familiar na hospitalização torna-se um desafio para as instituições e para a enfermagem.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Public opinion research related to general elections in Indonesia previously focused more on when the campaign period was officially carried out. In fact, before the official campaign period takes place, it is the right time to invite the public to actively participate in politics. In this article, we conducted research on conversations on Twitter (X) related to the 2024 general election “Pemilu 2024”. The research was conducted to determine the topic of conversation and the actors who played a role in the conversation. Method: This research used social network analysis on social media Twitter (X) as method to analyze conversation about “Pemilu 2024”. There were 38,570 tweets collected from all over Indonesia using the keyword combination 2024 Election “Pemilu 2024” from January to March 2023. Results: The results of social network analysis show that there were 6,275 hashtags used with 7,244 users involved in the conversation. The topics that emerged were dominated by the public's hopes for holding the “Pemilu 2024”, the names of figures, political parties, supporters of President Jokowi, the Election Supervisory Body and the General Election Commission. SNA was also used to assess network characteristics and found that the “Pemilu 2024” network had a non-centralized structure. In other words, the public has its own opinions. The influential actors based on the score of centrality are @aboebakar15, @NasDem, @RakyatBerisik. Meanwhile, the influential actors based on degree are @jokowi @cakimiNOW and @KPU_ID. Apart from that, there are accounts that are bubblereachers, namely @KPU_ID, @Bawaslu, @jpnncom. Conclusions: In the context of conversations regarding the “Pemilu 2024”, Twitter users (X) apparently show different behavior in showing agreement. In future practice, it is hoped that accounts that become bubblereachers will not only follow the principles of information usefulness, but also apply the principles of dialogic communication. By implementing dialogical communication, public opinion can be influenced and ultimately public involvement in politics can also be affected. Twitter users (X) use the favorite feature more often than retweets. It is hoped that the implications of this research can become a reference for practitioners in the field of political communication and policy makers in order to increase public participation in politics.

Authors: Akbaş Ayşe , Kılınç Fadime , Hayran Yıldız 
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Morphea localized scleroderma (LS) is a rare skin disease with unknown pathogenesis, which causes sclerosis of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
Objectives: It was aimed to compare the characteristics of patients with pediatric and adult-onset morphea.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the records of 183 adult morphea patients. The demographics, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment options of the patients were recorded. Adult patients with morphea over the age of 18 were divided into two groups according to the age of onset and compared.
Results: Twenty-two percent (N = 41) of the patients had pediatric-onset morphea (POLS) and 77.6% (n=142) had adult-onset morphea (AOLS). While POLS had a higher head-neck involvement, AOLS had a higher breast involvement (P < 0.001 and P = 0.043). Patients with linear morphea were younger, and more frequently had at least one laboratory anomaly (P = 0.016 versus 0.024). Anti-dsDNA positivity and low hemoglobin (Hb) were observed more frequently in patients with breast involvement. Patients with inguinal involvement, on the other hand, had lower Hb and a higher rate of diabetes, and those patients were older (P = 0.042, 0.040, and 0.012, respectively).
Conclusions: Clinical characteristics and accompanying laboratory anomalies of the patients with morphea depend on the age of onset, involvement areas and the types of morphea, having such data readily available should guide the holistic approach for, and the monitoring process of, the disease.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Dermatoscopy is a frequently used non-invasive diagnostic procedure.
Objectives: Considering that mycosis fungoides (MF) mimics parapsoriasis clinically in early stages, we aim to determine the dermatoscopic criteria and the histopathological correlations in patients with MF and small plaque parapsoriasis (SPP).
Methods: This prospective study involved 28 patients with clinical and histopathological diagnoses of MF and 31 patients with SPP. Videodermoscopy and USB capillaroscope were used to evaluate the patients vessels at ×200 magnification. Vascularity was evaluated through microvascular density (MVD) scoring involving CD34 antibody staining.
Results: Fifty-nine patients were included in this study. The scores corresponding to the presence of short linear vessels, linear-curved vessels, branching linear vessels, and non- structured orange-colored areas were significantly higher in the MF patients than in the SPP patients (P < 0.05). The highest MVD (P = 0.01) scores were also higher in the MF patients than in the SPP patients.
Conclusions: The SPP and early-stage MF patients differed in their MVD scores, and the findings correlated with the dermatoscopy and lesional capillaroscopy findings. Differentiating features between SPP and MF were thus identified.
