Abstract

The scapulohumeral anatomy and biomechanics interact to provide adequate mobility, thus the scapula plays various functions in facilitating optimal shoulder complex function (Paine & Voight., 2013). To support shoulder complex function, they argued that the scapula should have a solid foundation for glenohumeral movement facilitated by periscapular muscles to synchronize shoulder movements and develop scapulothoracic joint stability. However, when scapular muscle weakness or dysfunction occurs, then normal scapular posture and mechanics may change and disturb shoulder complex function, which can lead to lower neuromuscular performance and increased risk of glenohumeral joint damage (Kibler., 1998; Paine & Voight., 2013; Voight & Thomson., 2000). Therefore, current perspective will provide a more detailed description of the scapular roles in forming stabilization and supporting complex shoulder movements.

Abstract

Effective scholarly communication, whether oral or written, is inherently challenging. Scientific discourse relies on objective facts rather than subjective opinions. Hence, it necessitates grounding in evidence derived from research, ensuring the arguments presented are objective and supported by factual findings. Generating scholarly information, even in a single sentence, is a laborious process, demanding considerable time, financial resources, and substantial energy. In some instances, continuous or multi-year research is imperative. Nevertheless, technological advancements have revolutionized this landscape. Writing can now be expedited through the use of available artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, ranging from free versions to premium services. For example, Jenni AI functions akin to a "magical assistant," generating text on requested topics. ELICIT AI excels in grid synthesis, ResearchPal automates literature reviews, and others provide various functionalities. This poses a temptation to researchers, making AI a double-edged sword in the realm of publication integrity.

Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to show the effectiveness of a combination of interventions by providing warm compresses, blankets, and essential aromatherapy to determine changes in the patient's body temperature after surgery Methods: The research design used accurate experimental research with a pretest-posttest design. This study had 60 respondents divided into two groups, using a non-probability sampling technique with a stratified random sampling method. The control group was given intervention according to standard hospital procedures: a Striated Blanket at room temperature. The intervention group was given a combination of warm compresses and warm blankets. The temperature of the warm blanket is 44 Celsius, with a compressive time of about 30 minutes. Essential aromatherapy is four drops in 100 cc of water with diffusion for 15 minutes. The research was conducted from December 26, 2022, to January 28, 2023 Results: This research shows a significant difference in the average increase in body temperature. After intervention treatment, a significant value was obtained, namely with a pre-value of 35.43°c and a post-value of 36.50°c (p=0.00). Combining a warm compress with a warm blanket at a temperature of 44 Celsius for 30 minutes and giving essential aromatherapy four drops in 100 cc of water with diffusion for 15 minutes give a significant result for body temperature. Conclusion: The combination of warm compresses, warm blankets, and essential aromatherapy effectively increases the body temperature of postoperative spinal anesthesia patients in the recovery room.
