Aim: The aim of this study was to: a) develop scales that measure nursing students' perceptions of the online learning process and the effects of this process on nursing knowledge and skills and b) explain the relationship between these scales, 21st century skills and work readiness.
Background: Twenty-first century skills include learning and innovation skills, information, media and technology skills and life and career skills. These skills have come to the fore through nursing education's adoption of online education after recent global events such as the COVID-19 restrictions.
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the hand fine motor skills of peritoneal dialysis (PD) practitioners and PD-related peritonitis.
Methods: This multicenter prospective observational study was conducted with 120 incident PD patients. Patients were divided into two groups who had PD-related peritonitis within the first year as Group 1, and those who did not as Group 2.
Objective: The aim of the study is to develop a scale that could assess illness perception and reaction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Material And Methods: The study was conducted in patients who were admitted in the pulmonary disease departments of a public and a private hospital. The study included 271 COPD patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how meniscus status (intact vs. torn) affects the trabecular bone structure in the tibia using high-resolution MRI in cadaver knees.
- MRI data was analyzed to compare bone density and structure in areas covered by menisci versus those that were uncovered, revealing significant differences based on meniscal condition.
- Findings indicated that meniscal tears lead to higher bone density and other structural changes, highlighting the role of menisci in bone health and adaptation.
Introduction: There is very limited information about pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) following cement-augmented fenestrated pedicle screw (CAFPS) fixation in the literature. The aim of this study to report the incidence of PCE following CAFPS fixation in adult deformity patients with severe osteoporosis and to identify risk factors such as; the number of levels, number of screws, and the cement volume used.
Methods: 281 patients (204F, 77M) in whom CAFPS fixation was used during deformity surgery were included.
Background: Although diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging imaging (DW-MRI) is commonly used to characterize hepatic lesions, the literature is sparse about the use of MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in this regard. By using DTI, one is able to obtain not only apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) but also fractional anisotropy (Fa) values.
Purpose: To evaluate DTI using ADC and Fa values in the imaging of hepatic cysts, hemangiomas, and metastases.
