The effects of different taping methods on patellofemoral alignment, pain and function in individuals with patellofemoral pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Athletic taping has long been a physiotherapeutic application in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP). However, the therapeutic effects of local and proximal taping have not been fully determined.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of two different taping techniques applied in addition to exercise on patellofemoral alignment, pain, and function in individuals with PFP.

Outcomes of endovascular treatment of thoracic aorta pathologies: 10-year single-center results.

PURPOSE Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a safe and effective treatment method for a variety of thoracic aortic pathologies. We aimed to investigate the mortality and complication outcomes and associated factors of TEVAR treatment in Turkey. METHODS In this single-centered retrospective study, patients with thoracic aorta pathologies treated with TEVAR at Gazi University School of Medicine, Department of Radiology, between January 2009 and January 2020 were included.

Mild encephalopathy with reversible extensive white matter lesions in a child with acute adenoviral infection and a literature review.

Background: Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a known clinical-radiological description. However, MERS with extensive lesions (MERS type-2) is rarely associated with adenovirus. There are only three published cases of MERS type-2 associated with adenovirus infection.

Grip strength as a predictor of disease severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Background: Grip strength is one of the main components for the physical functioning in sarcopenia and physical frailty.

Objectives: To explore the role of grip strength measurement at admission for predicting disease severity in COVID-19.

Methods: Demographic data, smoking status, comorbidities, COVID-19 related symptoms, grip strength, laboratory and computed tomography (CT) findings at admission were all noted.

An investigation of biomechanics, muscle performance, and disability level of craniocervical region of individuals with temporomandibular disorder.

Objective: To investigate biomechanics, muscle performance, and disability of the craniocervical region in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients and compare them with controls.

Methods: Craniocervical posture was evaluated using lateral photography and radiography. Range of motion, muscle performance, disability, and TMD severity were assessed using an inclinometer, Functional Strength Testing of Cervical Spine, Neck Disability Index, and Fonseca Anamnestic Index, respectively.

Effect of music on anxiety and pain during ultrasound-guided core needle breast biopsy: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Although imaging-guided core needle breast biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure, it is reported that patients may experience anxiety and pain. Interventions to reduce anxiety are important for high quality health services during imaging-guided core needle breast biopsy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of music intervention on anxiety and pain levels of patients undergoing ultrasound-guided core needle breast biopsy.

Differences in corpus callosum morphology between healthy adolescents and adolescents with migraine: a case control study.

Background/aim: This study objected to compare the measurements of corpus callosum substructures of adolescents with migraine and healthy adolescents.

Materials And Methods: Materials and methodsIn a case-control design, adolescents aged 12–18 years with the diagnosis of migraine and healthy control group had brain magnetic resonance imaging examination. The CC dimensions including anteroposterior length, truncus, genu and splenium widths of the case and control groups were measured and compared.
