Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the association between urinary incontinence (UI) severity, pelvic pain, and sensory-motor function in older women with stroke.
Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was carried out with 102 older women individuals with stroke. Barthel Index (BI), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire Short Form (IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Pelvic Pain Impact Questionnaire (PPIQ), Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SASS), and Somatic Sensitivity Scale (SeSS) were used for clinical measurements.
Recent case reports have emphasized the essential clinical contribution of telerehabilitation in the treatment of facial palsy. However, no randomized controlled trial has yet demonstrated the effects of telerehabilitation-based facial exercise therapy. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of video exercise-based telerehabilitation on motor and non-motor clinical outcomes in adults with facial palsy.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio Tape (KT) as an additional treatment for patients with acute ankle sprains in an Emergency Department.
- It involved a controlled trial where one group received KT along with conventional treatment, while the control group received only conventional care, assessing pain levels, analgesic use, and patient satisfaction.
- Results showed that although pain levels were similar early on, the KT group needed fewer pain medications and reported higher satisfaction, suggesting KT may be beneficial, but further research is necessary to solidify its role in treatment protocols.
Objectives: In light of the growing popularity of paragliding, this cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of paragliding accidents, providing insights into the types and severity of injuries sustained as well as the body regions most commonly affected.
Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study utilized data on adverse paragliding events on Mount Babadağ in Turkey, collected by the Muğla Sports Tourism Board (STB) between January 2020 and December 2021, with data sources including out-of-hospital STB forms and in-hospital electronic health records.
Results: Out of 241,420 paragliding flights, a total of 44 accidents were identified, with only three resulting in fatalities.
Objective: Despite the favorable data concerning topical agents use in outpatient clinics, they are not commonly in emergency departments (EDs). The present study aimed to compare the effect of 2.5% topical ketoprofen (gel form) to placebo in children presenting with ankle sprain to the ED.

Background: Currently, the measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been offered as a possible indicator of intracranial pressure (ICP). Increased ICP is observed during intracranial injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between increased ONSD and positive intracranial findings from multislice computed tomography (CT) of the brain.

Method: All the study patients received intravenous dexketoprofen additional to study drugs.
Objective: This study aims to compare serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels in surviving and nonsurviving elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), investigating whether PAPP-A is correlated with CAP prediction scores and whether PAPP-A can successfully predict 28-day mortality rates in elderly patients.
Methods: This prospective, observational, single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted at the emergency department (ED) of Celal Bayar University Hospital in Manisa, Turkey, between January and September 2014. All patients underwent follow-up evaluations 28 days after admission.
