🩺📱 The Effect of Telehealth Based on Symptom Control and Rational Medication Use on Self-Efficacy, Anxiety-Depression, and Symptoms in Male Patients with COPD: A Quasi-Experimental Study

📚 Read the full-length article: https://doi.org/10.21802/e-GMJ2025-A02

Authors: Şenay Takmak, Nevin Kuzu Kurban

🌐 This study investigates the impact of a telehealth program focused on symptom control and rational medication use in male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over a three-month period, the intervention group showed significant improvements in COPD self-efficacy and reduced post-walking dyspnea compared to the control group. These findings suggest that telehealth interventions can enhance self-management and physical endurance in COPD patients.

📚 Three-Dimensional Modeling of Firearm Injuries in Forensic Medicine
by Yulia Zmiievska & Ivan Savka

This study introduces a novel methodology for 3D spatial reconstruction of firearm injuries in forensic medicine. Using photogrammetry and graphic editing tools, the authors analyzed injury parameters from controlled ballistic tests with a CZ83 pistol and ballistic gelatin.

Key findings:

3D modeling provided significantly different measurements compared to classical methods.
Cohen’s d values showed small to medium effect sizes for morphometric parameters, indicating improved precision in certain measurements (e.g., entry wound diameter).
The methodology offers enhanced accuracy in recording morphometric parameters, serving as a promising alternative to traditional techniques.
