Unveiling global interest in lymphedema: A decade of search data through google trends global interest in lymphedema: A google trends analysis.

Introduction: The increasing reliance on Internet search engines for health-related queries requires a thorough evaluation of the public's engagement with medical information. This study aims to analyze global trends in interest in lymphedema over the past decade using Google Trends (GT).

Methods: A physiatrist with expertise in lymphedema management identified and analyzed 12 key search terms according to the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) guidelines.

Effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in post-stroke depression and anxiety disorders: a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study.

Objective: Our aim was to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture in post-stroke depression/anxiety disorders and to determine whether it reduces the need for anxiolytic and sedative drug use.

Methods: This study included 54 stroke patients with depression and/or anxiety disorder. Patients were randomly assigned to the acupuncture treatment group (n = 27) or the control group (n = 27).

Whole body vibration activates the tonic vibration reflex during voluntary contraction.

[Purpose] The beneficial neuromuscular effects of whole-body vibration are explained by the tonic vibration or bone myoregulation reflex. Depending on factors that remain undefined, whole-body vibration may activate the tonic vibration or bone myoregulation reflex. We aimed to examine whether voluntary contraction facilitates activation of the tonic vibration reflex during whole-body vibration.

The reflex mechanism underlying the neuromuscular effects of whole-body vibration: Is it the tonic vibration reflex?

Objectives: Whole-body vibration (WBV) is applied to the sole of the foot, whereas local mechanical vibration (LMV) is applied directly to the muscle or tendon. The time required for the mechanical stimulus to reach the muscle belly is longer for WBV. Therefore, the WBV-induced muscular reflex (WBV-IMR) latency may be longer than the tonic vibration reflex (TVR) latency.

Self-Reported Medication Adherence in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis: The Role of Illness Perception and Medication Beliefs.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate medication adherence in Turkish patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and analyze the related factors for non-adherence.

Patients And Methods: Ninety-nine patients with AS (60 males, 39 females; mean age 41.3±8.
