Article Synopsis
- Foot problems are prevalent in adults, varying in causes: older individuals often face issues from chronic diseases, while younger people typically struggle with overuse injuries affecting their feet.
- A study examined 26 patients with either forefoot or rearfoot issues, assessing their gait characteristics, balance, and pain levels using specific tests and measurements.
- Results showed that although spatiotemporal gait characteristics were similar for both groups, those with rearfoot problems experienced greater difficulties in balance and reported higher pain levels, highlighting the need for targeted treatment approaches.
Background And Aims: Although aerobic exercises such as cycling and swimming are increasingly being recommended in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), their effect on gait and balance parameters is unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of cycling training on balance and spatio-temporal gait parameters in children with DMD.
Methods: Ambulant children (age range: 6.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed various immune and inflammatory indices to see how they predict in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit patients in Turkey, involving a large sample size of 3,157.
- Out of these patients, 137 (4.3%) died during their hospital stay, with significant correlations found between mortality and several indices like the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI).
- Notably, when combining these indices, only the CAR significantly improved the predictive model for in-hospital mortality compared to the initial set of risk predictors.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of adjuvant treatments and factors affecting recurrence and survival in patients with stage IIB endometrial cancer, using data from surgeries performed in Turkey between 2005 and 2022.
- Out of 7323 patients, 565 were identified as stage IIB; most received adjuvant radiotherapy, but the study found no significant survival benefits from adjuvant treatments overall.
- Notably, patients with tumors larger than 4 cm and myometrial invasion greater than 50% had higher recurrence rates, while adjuvant treatment improved overall survival only for those with deep myometrial invasion.
Estimating growing stock is one of the main objectives of forest inventories. It refers to the stem volume of individual trees which is typically derived by models as it cannot be easily measured directly. These models are thus based on measurable tree dimensions and their parameterization depends on the available empirical data.
