This study examined the relationship between physical activity (PA) level, free time management, mental well-being, and perceptions of barriers to PA among university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 723 Turkish university students, which included four questionnaires to assess participants' PA levels, conditions of mental well-being, free time management, and perceived barriers to PA. Multivariate linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with the participants' PA level.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Walking Adaptability Ladder Test for Kids (WAL-K) in assessing gait adaptation in children with CP.
Methods: Sixty-six participants (40 children with CP and 26 controls), aged 6-18 years, underwent WAL-K testing under single- and double-run conditions with video recording.
Purpose: There has been increased interest in phytochemical antioxidants to prevent protein damage and aggregate formation in cataract treatment. In this study, the protective effect of different doses of Rb1 (GRb1), one of the ginsenosides of Panax Ginseng, in the experimental cataract model formed in chick embryos was investigated.
Methods: Five different experimental groups were formed with 100 SPF fertilized eggs: Control (0.
Background: Morphological differences that can lead to cerebellar volume changes are associated with the pathogenesis of paediatric diseases. The aim of this study was to examine cerebellum volume in a healthy paediatric population.
Materials And Methods: To provide MRI-based volumetric measurements of the cerebellum, images from the years 2019 to 2021 were scanned retrospectively.
Background: Morphological differences that can lead the trigeminal nerve to neurovascular conflict and a new solitary pontine lesion are associated with the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). In this case-control study, we aimed to contribute to the current discussions about the pathogenesis of TN by investigating the anatomical structures that may have an effect on the morphometric parameters of the trigeminal nerve.
Methods: This study included 25 patients with TN followed up for pain in the Department of Algology, Faculty of Medicine, and 25 age- and gender-matched controls.
Background: Favipiravir is one of the essential antiviral drugs used for the treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in some countries. However, there is not enough information about used, especially in pregnancy. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the developmental toxicity of favipiravir on fetal bone development and embryonic development.

Research Question: Are there any differences between the gait parameters of children with SLD and TD under single- and dual-task conditions?
Methods: A comparative-descriptive study was conducted among 35 children with SLD and 33 TD children.
Background: In task-oriented studies showed that the chronic pain is effective on dual tasks. Chronic pain is the main health problem that prevents mobility restriction and participation in most rheumatic diseases.
Research Question: Do rheumatic diseases have an effect on dual task gait performance?
Methods: This comparative-descriptive study included 75 individuals who aged 18-65 years and divided in two groups as Rheumatic Disease Group (RG; 23 women, 14 men) and Control Group (CG; 20 women, 18 men).
Purpose: We aimed to research in detail the morphology of the facet orientation (FO) and tropism (FT) in degenerative diseases.
Method: This study consisted of patients with disc degeneration (DD) and with lumbar spondylolisthesis (LS) as well as a control group without these two diseases. The group of patients with DD was separated by DD grades.
