The effect of action observation and motor imagery on jumping and perceived performance.

Introduction: Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are cognitive processes that involve mentally rehearsing and simulating movements without physically performing them. However, the need for the evidence to support influence of imagery on performance is increasing. This study aims to investigate the impact of combining motor imagery with action observation on athletes' performance and performance perception.

The effect of Ramadan fasting on nasal mucociliary activity and peak nasal inspiratory flow.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Ramadan fasting (RF) on nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC) and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF).

Methods: Sixty-two (41 male and 21 female) healthy subjects who stated that they would fast continuously during the month of Ramadan were included in this prospective study. Day 0 (baseline), 1st day (after one day of RF), and 29th (after 29 days of RF) nasal mucociliary clearance time (MCT) with saccharine test and PNIF values were determined.

The Onlay Rotated Flap (ORF): An Original Technique for Nasal Tip Plasty.

Methods: Thirty-two patients (26 female and 6 male) were included in the study retrospectively.

Does rhinoplasty reduce nasal patency?

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rhinoplasty on subjective and objective assessment of nasal patency in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons only.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Design: Prospective, clinical study.

Effects of the acute exposure to the electromagnetic field of mobile phones on human auditory brainstem responses.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of the electromagnetic fields (EMF) of mobile phones on human auditory brainstem responses. This prospective study of healthy adults evaluated the influence of EMF. Eighteen healthy adult volunteers participated in this study.

Marble impaction in the nasopharynx following oral ingestion.

Foreign body ingestion is an important emergency occurring in childhood. In this article, we report the case of a 5-year-old girl with marble impaction in the nasopharynx, which had not been discovered by routine X-rays of the chest and abdomen at the time of ingestion. The patient presented 4 months after the event with typical symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy and sinusitis, and the diagnosis was established on the basis of a plain film of the nasopharynx.
