February 2025
Background: Smoking is considered one of the most important public health problems globally, and smokers have reduced lung functions, poor posture, and lower quality of life.
Primary Study Objective: To evaluate the effects of yoga practice among chronic smokers.
Methods: This case-control study included 28 participants with a power independent of 0.
Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is frequently seen in basketball, where ankle sprains are common due to repetitive movements such as jumping, landing, deceleration and acceleration.
Objective: This study investigated the effects of CAI on core stabilization, dynamic balance, and agility in university-level basketball players.
Materials And Methods: The study included 22 basketball players with CAI (8F, 3M; 20.
Article Synopsis
- Accurately classifying microalgae species is essential for monitoring marine ecosystems and managing marine mucilage, but traditional methods are often slow and require expert knowledge.
- This article presents a solution using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) to enhance classification speed and accuracy, demonstrating significant improvements over traditional methods.
- A study on a dataset of 7820 images found that the linear SVM kernel achieved a 98.79% success rate, paving the way for more efficient biodiversity monitoring and real-time ecological conservation applications amidst climate change.
Context: Asthma incidence in the older people also increases as the number of individuals over the age of 65 increases in society. The goals of asthma management include restoring expected levels of physical activity and preserving muscle mass as well as preventing symptoms and improving pulmonary function. A limited number of studies have explored the effects of superimposed neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the quadriceps muscle for older patients with asthma.

We summarized a wide range of topics including current developments of respiratory diseases and provided an overview of important and striking topics of the congress. Our primary motivation was to give some up-to-date information and new developments discussed during congress especially for the pulmonologists who did not have a chance to follow the congress.

Background: In the literature, novel physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches are getting significant attention as a way to cope with secondary complications in the management of asthma.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises combined with the Asthma Education Program (AEP) and breathing exercises in patients with asthma.
Methods: The study sample consists of 40 asthmatic patients (age 52.
As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads across the world, the ongoing clinical trials are leading to a big race worldwide to develop a treatment that will help control the pandemic. Unfortunately, COVID-19 does not have any known effective treatment with reliable study results yet. In this pandemic, there is not a lot of time to develop a new specific agent because of the rapid spread of the disease.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFScientists from all over the world have been intensively working to discover different aspects of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since the first cluster of cases was reported in China. Herein, we aimed to investigate unclear issues related to transmission and pathogenesis of disease as well as accuracy of diagnostic tests and treatment modalities. A literature search on PubMed, Ovid, and EMBASE databases was conducted, and articles pertinent to identified search terms were extracted.

- The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant public health concern, with rapidly evolving knowledge on its epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention being reviewed by experts from the Turkish Thoracic Society.
- Key findings indicate high genetic similarity to other coronaviruses like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, with common symptoms including fever and cough, and severe cases often occurring in patients with pre-existing health issues such as cardiovascular diseases.
- Various treatment options, including chloroquine and protease inhibitors, show promise in managing COVID-19, but ongoing research continues to be crucial for understanding the virus’s transmission and effective treatment strategies.
