Immediate Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Proprioception and Upper Extremity Reaction Speed in Young Adult Students.

Background: There is limited information on the immediate effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on the upper limb. This study aims to determine the immediate effects of WBV on reaction speed and proprioception in young adult students' upper extremities.

Methods: In total, 62 students participated in the study.

PrimerX: A Bayesian Multistage Cohort Embedded Randomised Trial to Evaluate the Role of Deferred Local Therapy of the Primary Tumour in Combination with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-based First-line Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients.

Background: Historically, patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) have been offered upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) followed by systemic therapy. Currently, CN is no longer the standard of care (SOC) based on the randomised phase 3 CARMENA study performed in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. With the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination therapy in first line, the role of CN needs to be reassessed.

Future health technology trends, policy, and governance perspective: the Turkish case.

Background: Advanced health technologies that emerge with the development of technology have an impact on health systems. This study aimed to determine the effects of these technologies on Türkiye's health system and present policy recommendations to reshape Türkiye's health system and policies accordingly.

Methods: Interviews were conducted with senior managers, bureaucrats, policy-makers and decision-makers from seven different institutions on the subject.

An investigation of machine learning algorithms for prediction of temporomandibular disorders by using clinical parameters.

This study aimed to predict temporomandibular disorder (TMD) using machine learning (ML) approaches based on measurement parameters that are practically acquired in clinical settings. 125 patients with TMD and 103 individuals without TMD were included in the study. Pain intensity (with visual analog scale), maximum mouth opening (MMO) and lateral excursion movements (with millimeter ruler), cervical range of motion (with goniometer), pressure pain threshold (PPT; with algometer), oral parafunctional behaviors (with Oral Behaviors Checklist), psychological status (with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and quality of life (with Oral Health Impact Profile) were evaluated.

β‑catenin expression in endometrioid type endometrial cancer: Expression patterns and impact on disease outcomes.

Determination of nuclear and/or cytoplasmic expression of β-catenin by immunohistochemistry in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) may constitute a potential diagnostic method for identifying patients with a catenin β1 (CTNNB1) gene mutation and those at risk of disease recurrence. The present study aimed to investigate β-catenin expression patterns in hysterectomy specimens of patients with endometrioid type EC using immunohistochemistry, and to examine the prognostic impact of β-catenin. The study was a single-institutional, retrospective cohort trial enrolling consecutive patients with a postoperative histopathological diagnosis of endometrioid EC who underwent hysterectomy between January 2015 and December 2018.
