    Parry-Romberg syndrome: A possible association with borreliosis
    (2004) Şahin M.T.; Bariş S.; Karaman A.
    Progressive facial hemiatrophy or Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare entity characterized by unilateral atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and the underlying bony structures. This syndrome has many features of linear scleroderma 'en coup de sabre' but is distinguished by more extensive involvement of the lower face with only slight cutaneous sclerosis. The onset typically occurs in childhood or young adult years. The aetiology of the condition is unknown. A case of progressive hemifacial atrophy occurring in a 30-year-old woman is reported, in which the aetiology is thought to be Lyme disease, a borrelial infection first recognized in 1975 that has since become the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the world. No sure link is established between these two disease states, but their coincident occurrence in this patient is noted. We hypothesize that the aetiology of Parry-Romberg syndrome involves borreliosis. © 2004 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.

    The relationship between nurses' perceptions and competency about spiritual care and influencing factors
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Karaman A.; Sagkal Midilli T.
    Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses' perceptions and their competences in spiritual care and influencing factors. Design and Methods: This correlational study was conducted with 700 nurses. The Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) was used to determine nurses' spirituality perceptions. The Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) was used to evaluate the nurses' spiritual care competence. Findings: The study results show a significant relationship between the mean item scores of the SSCRS and the SCCS (r = 0.264, p < 0.01). Practice Implications: The nurses' perceptions were high, but their competency in spiritual care was at a medium level. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
