Pediatric Teledermatology in Global Settings: A Systematic Review of Conditions, Modalities, and Outcomes
In 2019, the global incidence of skin and subcutaneous diseases in children and adolescents reached 57,967 per 100,000, with the burden disproportionately concentrated in low- and middle income countries (LMICs) [1]. Severe shortage of pediatric dermatologists and the geographic workforce maldistribution severely limit access to pediatric dermatology care within LMICs [2]. Long wait times and delayed diagnosis can worsen outcomes for even common cutaneous conditions [2]. Teledermatology,…

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy and Its Effect on Positional Tolerance among Employees with Vestibular Symptoms
Vestibular symptoms are one of the most commonly complained impairments. This includes motion sensitivity which accounts for positional tolerance — the capacity to maintain and alter head and body postures without the feeling of symptoms of dizziness, nausea, or even vomiting. On the other hand, Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is an approach to treat vestibular dysfunction and improve functional outcomes for patients with vestibular disorders. This study used a single group pre-test,…

Effectiveness of Music Therapy in Improving Upper Limb Motor Function of Patients with Chronic Stroke
Music-supported therapy (MST) has emerged as an innovative approach in physical therapy, particularly in the rehabilitation of stroke patients who experience limitations in upper limb movement. Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term motor impairment, underscoring the importance of effective therapeutic interventions. The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) serves as a standardized assessment tool for evaluating upper limb motor performance among individuals recovering from stroke.…

Efficacy of Lower Extremity Proprioceptive Training in Improving Balance of Community-Dwelling Elderly Adults
The study examines the efficacy of lower extremity proprioceptive training in improving balance among community-dwelling elderly adults. The researchers utilized a quantitative randomized controlled trial (RCT). This research addresses the observed gaps in short-term, community based protocols by investigating the lower extremity proprioceptive exercises as the independent variable directly affecting static and dynamic balance as the dependent variable. The methodology involved a purposive…

Spontaneous Pregnancy in Sheehan’s Syndrome: A Rare But Possible Occurrence
Sheehan’s syndrome is a rare but serious cause of hypopituitarism resulting from ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland following postpartum hemorrhage [1]. It is generally responsible for anterior pituitary hormonal deficiencies of varying severity, often associated with infertility due to involvement of the gonadotropic axis [2]. However, spontaneous pregnancy, although rare, remains possible in certain situations [3].
We report the case of a 36-year-old multiparous woman…

Instructor Presence Stabilizes Performance Distributions in Digitally Scaffolded CPR Training
Background: Digital feedback systems are increasingly integrated into school-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Prior research has largely emphasized mean performance outcomes, whereas assessment theory suggests that distributional characteristics—particularly lower-tail reliability—may be equally relevant in safety-critical competence contexts.
Purpose: This study examined whether different instructional configurations under…

Phylo- and Ontopathogenic Models: Relations to Gerontology and Endocrinology
The present short communication serves to justify important relations of phylo- and ontopathogenic models elaborated by us to the broadened versions of gerontology and endocrinology, culminating in our recently offered, more general concept of ontogenetic bioregulation.
