Physiotherapist-supervised exercises versus physiotherapist-prescribed home exercises for treating partial thickness rotator cuff tears: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Partial thickness rotator cuff tears significantly affect physical and psychosocial well-being. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of physiotherapist-supervised exercise and physiotherapist-prescribed home exercise programs on physical and psychosocial health measures in partial thickness rotator cuff tears.

Methods: Seventy patients with partial thickness rotator cuff tears (44 female; mean age, 50.

The cerium oxide nanoparticles toxicity induced physiological, histological and biochemical alterations in freshwater mussels, Unio crassus.

Introduction: Releasing of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nano-CeO) to the nature has increased due to the widespread use in many fields ranging from cosmetics to the food industry. Therefore, nano-CeO has been included in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) priority list for engineering nanomaterials. In this study, the effects of nano-CeO on the freshwater mussels were investigated to reveal the impact on the freshwater systems on model organism.

Association of Osteoarthritis Prevalence With Age and Obesity Factors in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Countries: Panel Regression Model.

Introduction: According to cross-sectional analysis studies supported by microdata, incidence of Osteoarthritis increases in parallel with ageing and obesity, which are common predictors of the disease. The aim of this study is to reveal whether ageing and obesity have an effect on the increase in osteoarthritis prevalence by analyzing cross-country data from Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries.

Methods: We used static panel data regression analysis for 36 countries for the period between 2000 and 2017.

Effectiveness of video-based rehabilitation program on pain, functionality, and quality of life in the treatment of rotator cuff tears: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Video-based rehabilitation programs, which are also used in the treatment of neurological disorders, could be a beneficial treatment option for patients who cannot receive treatment.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of video-based rehabilitation program in the conservative treatment of partial rotator cuff tears in comparison to a physiotherapist-supervised rehabilitation program.

Study Design: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

The effectiveness of trigger point treatment in rotator cuff pathology: A randomized controlled double-blind study.

Background: Studies have emphasized the importance of the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in patients with rotator cuff pathologies and the high frequency of MTrPs in rotator cuff muscles.

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of active MTrPs in patients with rotator cuff pathologies.

Methods: Fifty-three patients with rotator cuff tear were randomized into two groups.
