Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping and sham taping in addition to self-stretching exercise on hyperkyphosis angle, neck pain and quality of life in elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis. Method: 60 elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis aged 60-85 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided inti three groups. Kinesio taping, sham taping and self-stretching exercise. The kinesio taping group will be given kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The second sham taping group will be given sham kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The third self-stretching group will be given a program consisting of stretching exercises for pectoral, erector spinae, latismus dorsi, multifidus, rhomboid and trapezius muscles. Individuals will be asked to do these exercises on their own for 15-20 minutes at home or in the office every day for four weeks. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for the kyphosis angle will be evaluated with a flexible ruler and Scoliosis Research Society Outcome questionnaire (SRS22) will be used to evaluate spinal curvatures.The Neck Disability Questionnaire will be used to evaluate neck pain. The occiput-neck distance and mini mental test will be used in this srudy.

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Reformer Pilates exercises in overweight and obese woman. Method: 47 sedentary overweight and obese women aged 30-60 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: Reformer Pilates and control. The exercise group will be given Reformer Pilates training session 3 times a week over an 8-weeks period. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for body composition with the bioelectrical impedance and for upper limb strength with the hand grip dynamometer. Moreover, the strength of the back muscle will be measure with the back dynamometer and the strength of the abdominal muscle with the sit-up test. Furthermore, the endurance of trunk, abdominal and back muscles will be measure with the McGill endurance tests. The endurance of the lower limb will be measure with the 30 second sit and stand test, and the balance with the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale. Finally, the sleep quality will be measure with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the anxiety with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cervical Stabilization and Oculomotor Exercises in addition to the classical physiotherapy on pain severity, cervical joint position sense, posture, cervical joint range of motion, strength and endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles, static and dynamic balance, neck awareness, functional disability and patient satisfaction in individuals with chronic neck pain. When the literature is examined, there is no study comparing the effectiveness of cervical stabilization and oculomotor exercises in individuals with chronic neck pain. However, it has also attracted our attention that a progressive and dynamic program was not followed in studies stating the oculomotor exercise program. In this sense, The study is important in terms of both comparing the effects of these 3 treatments and presenting a progressive and dynamic exercise protocol to the literature.
Hypo-Combi Trial: A Prospective Phase I/II Study of Combined Hypofractionated External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) plus Interstitial High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy (HDR-BT) for Intermediate/High Risk Prostate Cancer
The Management of my Bipolarity study aims to develop an educational intervention (MoB EI) on the combined use of technology and face to face education on the empowerment of ill health self-management skills in adults with bipolar disorder. The MoB EI will be developed according to qualitative data on patients' educational needs and relevant literature. The effectiveness of acquired knowledge and self-management skills will be assessed according to the degree of a) cognitive functioning, b) impulse control, c) adherence to pharmacotherapy, d) relapse prevention, d) improvement of quality of life of participants.
Purpose of this prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) as compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in female patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either TAVI or SAVR aortic valve replacement. For TAVI procedure, Edwards SAPIEN 3 THV system Model 9600 TFX (20, 23, 26 and 29 mm) or SAPIEN 3 Ultra THV system Model 9750 TFX (20, 23, 26) with the associated transfemoral delivery systems will be sued, for SAVR any commercially available surgical bioprosthetic valve. Patients will undergo the following visits: Screening, Procedure, Post Procedure, Discharge, 30 day, 6 months (telephone contact) and 1 year.
The main adverse reaction of EGFR seen in patients is rash. EGFR treated patients have a 24-95% incidence of rash depending on the type of treatment they receive. Skin toxicity may occur in more than 80% of patients treated with cetuximab. If a severe rash (Grade 3 or 4) occurs, a dose reduction or discontinuation of treatment may be required. Also, infections are the main secondary side effect caused by the rash. The aim of the study is through a randomized clinical trial feasibility study to investigate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in patients receiving EGFRI therapy. It will be randomly selected which patients will belong to the intervention group and who in the control group. The type of program involves educational intervention.
