Background: Scoliosis is the most common orthopedic comorbidity in Rett syndrome (RTT), with a prevalence of 94% and a mean curve progression of 14-21° Cobb annually. A scoliosis prevention intervention based on daily activity programs was proposed for people with RTT within uncontrolled study designs. Aim: The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based activity program carried out during daily life to slow the progression of scoliosis in girls with RTT. Ethics: The proposal was approved by Ariel university IRB. All participants' parents will sign informed consent forms. Participants: Twenty Italian girls aged between six and 16 years with a genetically confirmed classic RTT and scoliosis at a severity level between 10° and 40° Cobb will be recruited and randomly divided into two groups (immediate intervention - Group 1; wait-list-intervention - Group 2). Both groups will follow the same 10-month intervention program, 10 months apart. Outcome measures: Participants' scoliosis Cobb's angle, motor functioning, and behavioral characteristics will be assessed three times. Procedure: Each participant will be evaluated three times: at T1, T2, and T3. Participants in the Group 1 will conduct the intervention for 10 months between T0 and T1. Group 2 will perform the intervention between T1 and T2. The interventions will comprise daily home-based activity programs carried out by participants' caregivers within everyday living environments. An expert therapist will remotely supervise each program through an ad hoc developed smartphone application. Specific strategies that will be implemented during the intervention will include the maintenance of asymmetrical postures that oppose the scoliosis curve during activities and exercises in sitting, standing, and walking positions (according to each participant's functional abilities). These strategies refer to a hypercorrective postural positioning of scoliosis. In addition, activities involving weight bearing on the lower limbs, such as walking and standing for at least two hours a day, will be encouraged, and passive stretching and spinal mobilization exercises will be conducted.
An internal research department was established in the course of an organisational reform of the Pension Insurance Institution in 2020 for the evidence-based development of its own services in Austria. The focus is on the transfer of findings into practice and the scientific community. As part of an initial assessment of the current situation, an organisation-specific research agenda is being systematically developed. The project design is based on a multi-perspective and multi-method approach. After obtaining experts' opinions (interview) from different settings and areas, a consensus on necessary fields of action will be worked out after synthesising the results via a Delphi survey.
Periodontitis is the inflammation of the tissues supporting the teeth. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus) oil mouthwash can be used with subgingival scaling in the treatment of periodontal diseases. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to transforming growth factor superfamily and its elevated levels are detectable in inflammatory and healing process The present project will be conducted to evaluate the expression of TGF-β levels in chronic periodontitis patients after ultrasonic scaling and using 0.25% lemongrass oil mouthwash. TGF-β is a salivary marker of periodontitis.
Background:Ischemic heart disease is one of the heaviest health-related burdens worldwide.We aimed to identify the common hub mRNA and pathways that are involved in pathological progression of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: To explore potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of all ischemic heart disease stages, we used chipster and GEO2R tools to analyze of retrieved eight high throughput RNA datasets obtained from GEO database. Gene Ontology functional annotation and Pathways enrichment analyses were used to obtain the common functional enriched DEGs which were visualized in protein-protein interactions (PPI) network to explore the hub mRNA according to the interaction scores. Validation qRT-PCR was carried out for blood and cardiac biopsies compared with controls to validate the determined four hub mRNAs and subsequently reviewed inside comprehensive published meta-analysis database. The validated mRNAs were visualized in two interaction modules. Finally screening of approved drugs was applied.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an endocrine and metabolic disease that is characterized by hyperglycemia, develops microvascular and macrovascular complications, and requires chronic and continuous care. is a disease. According to IDF 2019 data, it is predicted that the number of diabetics in the world, which was 463 million in 2019, will reach 700 million in 2045 with an increase of 51%. The global prevalence of diabetes between the ages of 20-79 in 2019 is 9.3%, and it is estimated to increase to 10.2% in 2030 and 10.9% in 2045. Our country, on the other hand, has the highest prevalence with a rate of 11.1% among European countries. According to the IDF 2019 Diabetes Atlas data, 6.6 million people with diabetes live in our country as of 2019, and it is estimated that this rate will reach 10 million by 2045. American Diabetes Association (American Diabetes Association) and American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists) to achieve the goals of treatment and care in individuals with diabetes; emphasizes the need for regulation of nutrition, regulation of physical activity, regulation of pharmacological treatment, diabetes education, continuous monitoring and health controls. Individuals with diabetes should receive diabetes self-management education and support when necessary. Diabetes self-management is defined as the process of facilitating the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the individual's self-care. Individuals with diabetes who are competent and skilled in self-management can improve their health outcomes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) defines diabetes self-management education as a process that begins at the diagnosis stage and continues, based on an individual-centered approach and making joint decisions to facilitate the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the self-care of diabetes patients. The purpose of diabetes self-management is for diabetics to develop new skills and behaviors that support self-management goals, and to form habits. The general goals of diabetes self-management education are to support individuals diagnosed with diabetes to make conscious decisions, solve problems, perform self-care behaviors, and improve their metabolic results, health status and quality of life. Diabetes patients need knowledge, skills and motivation to strengthen their diabetes by providing self-management. The nurse helps the patient to adapt to the disease and achieve the ability to perform self-care by counseling and training individuals. Coaching sessions are used to strengthen self-management and diabetes in diabetes. The coach is the person who provides the necessary motivation to maximize the strengths of the client, to ensure that the potentials are fully used through continuous education, to develop new skills and activities to be more effective, to be ready for new responsibilities and to manage himself. Life Coaching with Diabetes is based on the basic principles and principles of professional life coaching practices (ICF-International Coaching Federation), aiming at behavioral change in approaches related to diabetes lifestyle. Life coaching with diabetes is to give practical applications to people who have been diagnosed with diabetes in order to gain necessary changes in life through coaching. 2. Problem and Sub-Problems H0: Diabetes life coaching given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes has no effect on glycemic control, diabetes strengthening and self-management. H1: Diabetes life coaching given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes has an effect on glycemic control, strengthening diabetes and self-management. 3. Aims and Expected Benefits of the Research This study was planned as a control group intervention study to determine the effect of diabetes coaching on glycemic control, diabetes strengthening and self-management in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Expected benefits: - Developing appropriate self-care activities (physical activity, medical nutrition, drug management, avoiding risky behaviors, etc.) by improving the self-management skills of the individual with diabetes, - Individuals with diabetes become self-managed in their self-care practices, - Ensuring metabolic control of the diabetic individual - Developing decision-making and problem-solving skills of individuals with diabetes, - Promoting diabetes coaching in the nursing profession and increasing its visibility and spreading diabetes coaching.
