The cross-sectional clinical study was conducted, which included individuals over the age of 18 with spinal cord injuries who had previously been hospitalized in a rehabilitation hospital. The 16-question survey, titled "What should a rehabilitation hospital be like according to patients with spinal cord injuries," was applied to individuals hospitalized in the inpatient service of Çam Sakura City Hospital. It was also given to spinal cord injured people reached through social media. The participants' demographic data was recorded, and the survey was completed by 120 participants, comprising 70 males and 50 females. The mean age was 37.47 ± 11.63 years, with 79 participants being married and 41 being single. Twentyve participants had graduated from at least one university. The time since the spinal cord injury was less than two years for 20 individuals and more than two years for 100 individuals. The results showed that robotic rehabilitation and psychological support were the most requested rehabilitation elements, while interest in sexual rehabilitation was less than other rehabilitation elements. Furthermore, in the correlation analysis, elderly participants indicated that there should be more specialized services and outpatient clinics. This study highlights the importance of considering the needs and wishes of patients when planning and operating a rehabilitation center. The study clari es that patients' needs for specialized services and robotic rehabilitation were striking. Additionally, the signi cance and necessity of sexual rehabilitation should be conveyed to patients.

Nine hundred sixteen medical students were enrolled in the study. The participants were assessed with the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams Scale (LuCiD), the Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and the Van Dream Anxiety Scale (VDAS). There was no significant difference in mean total lucidity score between females and males, but there were some significant sex differences in subscales of lucidity, and control was significantly higher in male students, while realism, thought, and dissociation were significantly higher in female students. In addition, females had more dream anxiety levels, higher total MCQ-30 scores, and higher cognitive confidence and uncontrollability scores according to Metacognition Questionnaire-30 than males. We also found that the mean lucidity level was positively correlated with the mean total metacognition scor...

Patients and methods: The experimental study was conducted with seven volunteers (mean age: 30.8±3.3 years; range, 26 to 35 years) between December 2021 and January 2022. To elicit soleus TVR, high-frequency (100-150 Hz) vibration was applied to the Achilles tendon. High-frequency (100-150 Hz) whole-body vibration and low-frequency (30-40 Hz) whole-body vibration were applied in quiet standing. Whole-body vibration-induced reflexes were recorded from the soleus muscle using surface electromyography. The cumulative average method was used to determine the reflex latencies. Results: Soleus TVR latency was 35.6±5.9 msec, the latency of the reflex activated by high-frequency whole-body vibration was 34.8±6.2 msec, and the latency of the reflex activated by low-frequency whole-body vibration was 42.8±3.4 msec (F(2, 12)=40.07, p=0.0001, ƞ2 =0.87).
