Background: Current evidence on the role of macro- and micronutrients in the aetiopathogenesis of endometriosis is controversial.
Objectives: In this systematic review, we aimed to investigate the effect of macronutrients, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables on the occurrence and progression of endometriosis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review of eligible articles retrieved from medical databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, and Academic Search, was performed from inception to May 2023.
Objective: Our aim in this study is, does 29-day regular consumption of water extract by volunteer individuals who meet the study criteria have an effect on blood and cytokine values?
Method: In accordance with the purpose of the study, volunteers were asked to consume 100 ml of the extract every morning for 29 days. Three tubes of blood samples were taken from the volunteers on the 15th and 29th days of the study. Biochemical and hematological analysis of the blood samples were performed and immunomodulatory effects through cytokines were examined.
Objective: Ependymomas are neuroepithelial tumors of the central nervous system with heterogeneous biology and clinical course. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the methylation status and clinicopathological parameters in ependymomas.
Material And Method: DNA methylation status of CDKN2A, RASSF1A, KLF4 and ZIC2 genes were quantitatively analyzed with pyrosequencing in 44 ependymoma tumor tissues.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between forward head posture (FHP) and respiratory dysfunctions in patients with chronic neck pain.
Patients And Methods: Between June 2014 and November 2016 , a total of 99 patients (11 males, 88 females; mean age 54.1±9 years; range, 38 to 75 years) with chronic neck pain were evaluated for head posture by cervical lateral radiograph measuring the anterior head translation distance (FHPmm) and C7 vertebrae position (C7°).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) are in Turkey using a phone questionnaire previously tested in other countries.
- In the research, a Turkish version of the questionnaire was validated with 200 rheumatology patients, then used to survey 4,012 randomly selected individuals to identify potential cases.
- Results showed a RA prevalence of 0.56% and an SpA prevalence of 0.46% in the general population of Turkey, with significant differences based on region, particularly higher rates in the Northern and Central regions for RA and SpA, respectively.
