An Uncommon Coronary Anomaly: A Single Right Coronary Artery With a Conus Branch Supplying the Left Anterior Descending Artery.

Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are usually asymptomatic and have a good prognosis. Single coronary artery anomaly (SCA) is a very rare CAA. Its true incidence is unknown.

A full-custom fully implantable cochlear implant system validated in vivo with an animal model.

Realizations of fully implantable cochlear implants (FICIs) for providing adequate solution to esthetic concerns and frequent battery replacement have lacked of addressing system level criteria as a complete device. Here, we present a full-custom FICI that considers design of both an implantable sensor for wide range sound sensing and a signal conditioning circuit for electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. The microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based acoustic sensor utilizes multiple cantilever beam structures to sense and filter the mechanical vibrations on the ossicular chain.

Methods: A total of 3,970 individuals aged 18 years or older, residing in Afyonkarahisar (Türkiye), participated in this study.

Recovery of Right Ventricular Apical Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy with Left Bundle Branch Pacing.

Right ventricular pacing (RVP) is conventionally preferred in the treatment of patients with atrioventricular block. However, long-term RVP may lead to pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM), characterized by new-onset or worsening ventricular functions due to dyssynchronous ventricular electrical activation, abnormal ventricular remodeling, and increased energy expenditure. Historically, biventricular pacing (BVP) and guideline-directed medical therapy were the only treatment option for PICM.

The effects of myofascial release in combined with task-oriented circuit training on balance in people with Parkinson's disease: a randomized pilot trial.

Methods: Twenty-six pwPD were randomized into two groups for this randomized controlled study.

Usefulness of the Berg Balance Scale for prediction of fall risk in multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: The Berg Balance Scale, possibly the most widely used balance-related measure, has gained popularity in clinical trials. It provides information about patients' balance-related abilities and can be used to assess improvement or worsening after rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to determine the cut-off value of the Berg Balance Scale for the fall risk in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Background: Children with chronic conditions face participation restrictions and exclusions.

Aims: To investigate how cognitive and behavioural body-functions are associated with 1) participation patterns and 2) environmental factors among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Methods And Procedures: The study included 83 children with ADHD.

Telerehabilitation versus virtual reality supported task-oriented circuit therapy on upper limbs and trunk functions in patients with multiple sclerosis: A randomized controlled study.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different technology-supported rehabilitation approaches which are mobile application based telerehabilitation (TR) and virtual reality supported task oriented circuit therapy groups (V-TOCT) on the upper limb (UL), trunk function, and functional activity kinematics in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS).

Methods: Thirty-four patients with PwMS were included in this study. The participants were evaluated at baseline and after eight weeks of treatment by an experienced physiotherapist using the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), kinetic function sub-parameter of the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (K-ICARS), ABILHAND, Minnesota Manual Dexterity tests (MMDT), and trunk and UL kinematics using inertial sensors.

Multi-parameter-based radiological diagnosis of Chiari Malformation using Machine Learning Technology.

Background: The known primary radiological diagnosis of Chiari Malformation-I (CM-I) is based on the degree of tonsillar herniation (TH) below the Foramen Magnum (FM). However, recent data also shows the association of such malformation with smaller posterior cranial fossa (PCF) volume and the anatomical issues regarding the Odontoid. This study presents the achieved result regarding some detected potential radiological findings that may aid CM-I diagnosis using several machine learning (ML) algorithms.

Evolution of Tandem Repeats Is Mirroring Post-polyploid Cladogenesis in (Brassicaceae).

The unigeneric tribe Heliophileae encompassing more than 100 species is morphologically the most diverse Brassicaceae lineage. The tribe is endemic to southern Africa, confined chiefly to the southwestern South Africa, home of two biodiversity hotspots (Cape Floristic Region and Succulent Karoo). The monospecific (), the only crucifer species with persistent cotyledons, is traditionally retrieved as the closest relative of Heliophileae.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare activation levels of rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and soleus muscles and biomechanical properties of individuals with muscle disease and healthy individuals during sit-to-stand.

Methods: Fifteen patients (11 muscular dystrophy, 4 myopathy) and 15 healthy individuals were included in the study. A Noraxon superficial electromyography device and high-speed cameras were used to evaluate muscle activations and biomechanical properties.

Functional range of motion in the upper extremity and trunk joints: Nine functional everyday tasks with inertial sensors.

Background: Functional range of motion is defined as the required range of motions for individuals to maintain maximal independence, along with optimal conditions for activities of daily living. Intervention plans for rehabilitation are directed towards the acquisition of anatomical range of motion. However, this isn't always possible based on person's etiology, prognosis, or severity of disease.

Assessment of diagnostic doses for widely used synthetic pyrethroids (Deltamethrin & Permethrin) in an endemic focus of leishmaniasis in Turkey.

Background: Leishmania is a group of parasitic flagellated protozoons, which are transmitted by female sand flies and produces health problems in humans and also in wild and domestic animals. So far, 25 Phlebotomus and 4 Sergentomyia species were recorded in Turkey including proven or possible vectors of Leishmania spp. As no single insecticide susceptibility test was conducted targeting the sand flies in Turkey, we aimed to determine the diagnostic dose against two commonly used synthetic pyrethroids (deltamethrin and permethrin) in a hyperendemic area for leishmaniasis.
