The impact of physical exercise on esports players: a monitoring perspective.

Background: Esports has been defined as an organized and competitive approach to playing computer games. The esports industry has grown significantly and continues to develop in recent years. Within this period, monitoring and promoting physical exercise participation among esports players is important.

Investigation of the relationship between hypertension and asymptomatic organ damage in patients with Sjogren's disease.

The study aimed to compare the development of asymptomatic cardiovascular (CV) organ damage in hypertensive patients with and without Sjogren syndrome (SS), a condition characterized by inflammatory processes that lead to vascular damage. Forty hypertensive patients with SS (aged 18-65) and 40 age- and sex-matched hypertensive patients without this syndrome were included into the study. Carotid intima-media thickness was measured from area of 1 cm length proximal to both carotid bulbs.

Rapid weight loss and combat athletes: a study on psychological resilience and mechanical hyperalgesia.

Introduction: The study investigates the effects of Rapid Weight Loss (RWL) on the levels of psychological resilience and mechanical pain sensitivity in elite kickboxers. The primary aim was to examine changes in psychological resilience subdimensions and pressure pain threshold (PPT) values in the thoracolumbar region before and after a one-month RWL period leading up to competition. Hypotheses included expectations of significant reductions in PPT values due to biomechanical and physiological changes during RWL, along with improvements in psychological resilience subdimensions due to structured routines and social support.

Is the Family Health Center Professionals' Knowledge Level About Child Abuse and Neglect Sufficent? A Comprehensive Field Study.

Background: Child abuse and neglect bring lots of undesirable consequences for the future of children and societies with it. It is expected that health service providers have sufficient knowledge about that subject in order to determine abuse and neglect.

Materials And Methods: In this study, a 67-item scale with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.

Management of hypertrophic femoral diaphyseal nonunion due to sclerotic bone formation (corticalization) at the intramedullary nail tip after dynamization.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the "cortex sign" (corticalization) in femoral diaphysis fractures determined by the dynamization of nails because of delayed union. The study included 12 patients with a closed transverse femoral fracture (AO 32a3) treated with dynamization (all the screws distal of the nail were removed) because of delayed healing and followed up for at least 2 years. These patients were evaluated for the presence of bone union, cortex-like sclerosis (corticalization) distal to the nail, and the distance of the corticalization from the joint during follow- up after dynamization.
