Management of Lacertus syndrome: Perspectives for hand therapists.

Lacertus syndrome presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for hand therapists, requiring a comprehensive understanding of its clinical manifestations, diagnostic considerations and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. The present article aims to provide hand therapists with practical insights into recognizing and treating Lacertus syndrome, highlighting nerve gliding exercises, muscle stretching and ergonomic education. By addressing symptom management and preventive strategies, therapists can help patients relieve lacertus syndrome symptoms, optimize functional outcome and improve occupational status.

Photoresponsive Luminescent Silica Nanoparticles as Additive for 3D Printing and Electrospinning.

In this study, we present the synthesis and a versatile way to incorporate photoresponsive organic luminophores into polymeric materials using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The encapsulated thioethers within the MSNs were employed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, resin-based stereolithography, and electrospinning. Due to light-induced cyclisation to dibenzothiophenes (DBTs), mmOC loaded materials were used to inscribe images using UV light.

FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETENCIES OF PERSONAL RESOURCES OF SPECIALIST.

The results of the research were collected a sample of 4 professions: doctors, psychologists, military and pedagogue, because in the last year they were working in the crisis conditions in our country.

Visualizing Active Sites in Electrospun Photoactive Membranes via Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging.

Interest in antibacterial nanomaterials has surged in recent years, driven by the rise in antibiotic resistance among microbes. However, their practical application remains limited because many crucial properties have yet to be thoroughly investigated. In this study, we have developed novel nanofibrous membranes based on hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) with embedded hydrophilic or hydrophobic zinc(II)phthalocyanines (ZnPcs) as photosensitizers and investigated their water disinfection properties.

Elevating patient experience: Transformative strategies in hand therapy.

This paper explores transformative strategies in hand therapy aimed at improving the patient experience - a critical factor linked to improved clinical outcomes and increased satisfaction for patients and therapists. The focus is on three key areas: personalized interactions, empathic communication, and sensory engagement. Personalized interactions ensure therapy is uniquely tailored to each patient' needs, fostering a sense of individual attention and care.
