Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the epilepsy-related knowledge and attitudes toward epilepsy in medical students. In addition, these parameters were evaluated according to national geographic regions, preclinical and clinical characteristics.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, observational design and it was conducted among medical students in a centrally located city, Turkey.
Background: The primary aim of this study is to examine the effect of the stiffness of rehabilitation material on muscle activation in individuals with low medial longitudinal arch. The secondary aim is to compare the effects of single-leg balancing and single-leg squat exercises on the activation of the muscles around the ankle in the same individuals.
Methods: Twelve individuals with low medial longitudinal arch and 18 healthy control participants were included.
Can Physical Therapy Techniques Slow Down the Progression of Lipedema?

Article Synopsis
- - Lipedema is a condition that causes increased extracellular fluid, which can worsen the disease over time.
- - A study involved 22 women with lipedema undergoing complex decongestive therapy (CDT) and pneumatic compression for one month, assessing their fluid levels before and after treatment.
- - Results showed significant decreases in both intracellular and extracellular fluid volumes, suggesting that CDT can help manage the disease and potentially slow its progression, though no cure currently exists.
Lipedema is a chronic and progressive disease. Many complications can occur if the disease is not treated. The most important of these complications is lipedema with secondary lymphedema.

Objective: Pathology in any segment of the spine-pelvis-lower extremity may impair the global postural balance, leading to compensatory alterations in other parts. The aim of this study was to compare the pelvic movements of patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis with patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and healthy controls.
Methods: This study was performed at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of a Cankiri State Hospital between April 2021 and February 2022.
