The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of different dual-task practices on activities of daily living in stroke patients. The sample size was calculated as 18 people for each group and 36 people in total, with a 20% drop out. MC (Motor - Cognitive) group will receive 60 minutes motor - cognitive dual task intervention 5 day per week for 6 weeks in clinic. MM (Motor - Motor) group will receive 60 minutes motor - motor dual task intervention 5 day per week for 6 weeks in clinic. As the primary outcomes in the study; Modified Barthel Index will be used to evaluate basic activities of daily living, Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Index designed specifically for stroke to evaluate instrumental activities of daily living, and Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 to evaluate participation in activities of daily living. As secondary outcomes; 10 Meter Walk Test will be used for functional mobility assessment, Timed Up and Go Test and Berg Balance Scale will be used for balance assessment, Motor Activity Log-28 will be used to assess upper extremity functions, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test will be used for cognitive status assessment.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of orthognathic surgery on nutritional status, anthropometric measurements, food consumption levels, physical activity levels, biochemical parameters, chewing ability and oral-health impact profile.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises in perioperative bariatric surgery patient care. The investigators know that the preoperative anxiety is an important factor that affects acute postoperative pain experience. Additionally, the investigators know that there is a relationship between preoperative anxiety and moderate to severe pain in the first 12 hours postoperatively, and this is also true for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does preoperative anxiety level of patient who will undergo bariatric surgery and who are applied progressive relaxation exercises is lower than those who did not apply exercise? - Does postoperative pain level of patient who underwent bariatric surgery and applied progressive relaxation exercises was lower than patients who did not apply exercise? Participants will be randomly split into two groups and one of the groups of participants will learn how to do progressive relaxation exercises preoperatively and the other group will learn nothing. Then at the time of the surgery, all participants will fill a survey preoperatively to analyze participants' anxiety level in each group and the investigators will collect data about participants' pain level postoperatively. Researchers will compare these data whether there is an effect of the progressive relaxation exercises on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain or not.
Aim: This study was evaluated to compare the effects of web-based and face-to- face education given to office workers on health beliefs and physical activity levels towards obesity. Material and Method: The research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study population consisted of 768 office workers between February 2020 and April 2021, and the sample of the research consisted of 90 individuals selected from the population using the improbable random sampling method. "Descriptive Feature Form," "Obesity Health Belief Model Scale," "Physical Activity Questionnaire" were used to collect data. In the analysis of data; percentile distribution, chi-square, Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact test, t-test in independent groups, Repeated Measures ANOVA Test, Friedman Test, One Way ANOVA test, Kruskall Wallis test, and post hoc analyzes (Bonferroni, Games Howell, Dunn) were used.
Adult women aged 18-50 years and overweight (preobese) with a BMI of 25-30 kg/m2 will be included in the study. Participants will participate in an eight-week diet and diet plus aerobic and resistance exercise program. Patients will be referred from the Nutrition and Diet Polyclinic of Bezmialem Vakıf University to this study, which will be conducted to investigate the effects of exercise program on postural control, musculoskeletal system disorders, functional capacity, and sleep.
Gingival recession is the term used to describe the apical positioning of the marginal gingiva from the enamel-cementum junction. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been routinely used for more than 20 years to increase keratinized gingival thickness and to close gingival recessions due to the growth factors it contains. In the literature, there are studies evaluating the application of i-PRF with the microneedling technique, but there is no study evaluating the creeping attachment phenomenon and the closure percentage of gingival recession with the creeping attachment after the application of this technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate the closure rates of gingival recession and creeping attachment phenomenon after i-PRF application with microneedling technique. Systemically healthy and non-smoker patients older than 18 years of age with gingival recession in mandibular anterior teeth and keratinized gingival deficiency will be included. Before the procedure, the venous blood taken from the patient will be centrifuged at 700 RPM for 3 minutes in glass and non-addition tubes to obtain i-PRF. The prepared i-PRF will be infected to the apical mucogingival junction of the keratinized gingival area. This process will be repeated once a month for 3 months. After the 3rd month, the horizontal and vertical gingival recession values will be evaluated and recorded at the end of 6 months and 1 year.
Methods: The study is a randomized controlled experimental study. Groups were determined by stratified randomization according to the BMI of the pregnant women. In the study, individual identification form, Healthy Living Behaviors in Pregnancy Scale (HLBPS), and maternal questionnaire were used. The initiative program was carried out via WhatsApp messages on a smartphone. Messages regarding routine prenatal care were sent to the intervention group three times a week, and to the control group once a month, about appropriate weight gain, nutrition, and physical activity via WhatsApp. Results: The mean gestational weight gain was 13.1±4.3 in the intervention group and 14.6±4.2 in the control group, and no significant difference was found between the groups. According to the IOM guideline, there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of appropriate GWG , while no significant difference was found between excessive GWG.HLBPS scale total score, nutrition and physical activity post-test mean scores increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group. In the intervention group, the group/time interaction in the scale total score, nutrition and physical activity scores of the pregnant women who gained appropriate weight according to the IOM guideline was significant, and the intervention was effective.Significant differences were found between the groups in the pretest-posttest score differences in the HLBPS total score, nutrition and physical activity sub-dimensions of the pregnant women. Conclusion: Healthy nutrition and physical activity short message intervention with a smart phone increased the appropriate gestational weight gain rates of pregnants in the intervention group according to the IOM guideline, and the intervention was effective. However, there was no difference between the groups in terms of excessive gestational weight gain. It is recommended to conduct studies with a high level of evidence, including internet and social media applications, with larger samples.
The main purpose of approaching the anemic patient is to provide and maintain hemoglobin levels that will allow oxygen to reach the tissue at an adequate level. This critical level may vary from patient to patient, the age of the patient and other accompanying diseases are among the determining factors. The most important factor in transfusion indication is the insufficiency of cardiopulmonary compensation mechanisms due to anemia in the patient and the patient becoming symptomatic. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are common in the treatment of cancer patients. In cancer patients, similar to other patient populations, the indication for RBC transfusion is to alleviate anemia, which is actually symptomatic. However, the decision to transfuse should not be guided solely by the hemoglobin concentration. With this study, it is aimed to develop clinical practices to prevent unnecessary transfusion practices in lung cancer patients, to encourage the application of other supportive treatment options, and to take preventive measures before anemia develops
