Improving readability in AI-generated medical information on fragility fractures: the role of prompt wording on ChatGPT's responses.

Unlabelled: Understanding how the questions used when interacting with chatbots impact the readability of the generated text is essential for effective health communication. Using descriptive queries instead of just keywords during interaction with ChatGPT results in more readable and understandable answers about fragility fractures.

Purpose: Large language models like ChatGPT can enhance patients' understanding of medical information, making health decisions more accessible.

Reliability and validity of the two-minute step test in patients with total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: To investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of 2MST for assessing the physical performance of patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-one patients with TKA, aged more than 18 years, of both sexes, and underwent a primary TKA at least six months ago, were included in this study. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and 95% confidence interval (CI), standard error of measurement (SEM), and minimum detectable change at the 95% confidence level (MDC) were used to determine the reliability of 2MST.

The effect of virtual reality-based therapy on fear of falling in multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Virtual reality-based therapies is proposed in the rehabilitation of people with MS (pwMS). This systematic review aimed to summarize the effectiveness of virtual reality-based (VR) therapy on fear of falling (FoF) in pwMS.

Methods: PubMed (via MedLINE), the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ProQuest databases were systematically searched from inception until August 24, 2021.

The effect of stabilization exercise training on pain and functional status in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Background: There is no consensus about treatment of neck patients who have radicular symptoms.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of stabilization exercise training on pain and functional status in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Methods: The patients (n= 32) with cervical radiculopathy were randomized to two groups as follows: Stabilization exercise group (Group 1; n= 18); Home-exercise group (Group 2; n= 16).

Evaluation of symphysis pubis and sacroiliac joint distances in skeletally immature patients: A computerized tomography study of 1020 individuals.

Objective: The aim of this study was to create a reference about normal pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint widths of children and adolescents.

Methods: A total of 1020 computerized tomography axial scans of patients without pelvic injury between 2 and 18 year-old were studied. The narrowest width of pubic symphysis and bilateral sacroiliac joints were measured.

Detection of seasonal asymptomatic dermatophytes in Van cats.

The Van cat is a domestic landrace found in the Van province of eastern Turkey. In this study, we aimed to determine the seasonal carriage of dermatophytes in Van cats without clinical lesions. A total of 264 hair specimens were collected from clinically healthy cats in and around the Van Province.

Which factor is most important for occurrence of cutout complications in patients treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation? Retrospective analysis of 298 patients.

Introduction: Mechanical complications, such as cut-out of the head-neck fixation device, are the most common causes of morbidity after trochanteric femur fracture treatment. The causes of cut-out complications are well defined in patients who are treated with sliding hip screws and biaxial cephalomedullary nails but there are few reports about the patients who are treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the most important factor about occurance of cutout complication and also to evaluate the risks of the combination of each possible factors.

[Clear cell mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland: a case report].

Clear cell variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary glands is rare. A 55-year-old male patient with recently growing left parotid mass underwent superficial parotidectomy. Although the dominant component of the tumor was composed of clear cells, mucin containing cells were also present.

A serological investigation of pestiviruses in sheep in eastern border of Turkey.

All pestiviruses are important veterinary pathogens causing economic losses in cattle, sheep, and pigs. In this study, blood samples randomly collected from 465 sheep were analysed for the presence of antibodies to pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhea virus, border disease virus) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the province of Van and their towns. The seroprevalance were estimated as 75.

Comparison of the effects of local and uncontrolled levamisole preparations on mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera.

This study was performed to compare effectiveness of two levamisole preparations prepared in two different countries (Iran and Turkey) in mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera. For this purpose, natural infection was diagnosed using the cellophane tape method on the perianal region and centrifugal flotation technique on the feces of mice obtained from the experimental Animal Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Yüzüncü Yil, Van. Mice naturally infected with A.

Titres of naturally occurring alloantibodies against feline blood group antigens in Turkish Van cats.

The role of antioxidant vitamins (C and E), selenium and Nigella sativa in the prevention of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in rabbits: new hopes.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the role of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, selenium and Nigella sativa (NS) on the prevention of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in rabbits. It was found that superoxide dismutase (SOD) values in all of the treated groups were significantly lower than those of the control at 12th week of experiment (p < 0.05), while at 6th week and 12th week of experiment glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) values in the vitamin C treated group were significantly different from the control (p < 0.
