Filter by:Despite advancements in assessment and treatment methods, diagnosing and treating lower back pain remains challenging for researchers and clinicians. The literature doesn't support a definitive cause for the onset of back pain, as risk factors are diverse, population-specific, and inadequate when solely associated with back pain. Evaluating spinal stiffness is crucial, as it can either cause or result from back pain. However, assessing spinal stiffness lacks standardized and reliable methods, and studies regarding its relation to pain and movement are insufficient. The measurement principles and optimization techniques for assessing spinal stiffness haven't been fully explained or practically recommended. Creating a practical diagnostic process involving examination procedures, a diagnostic checklist, and practical indices for evidence in clinical assessments is crucial. Early identification of individuals at risk of prolonged disability and illness is vital since specific interventions can be developed in the early stages. The Lumbar Stiffness Disability Index (LSDI) stands out among valid and reliable tools for assessing lumbar stiffness and disability. It is an index designed in English, translated into languages like Chinese and Japanese, proving to be a useful tool to describe a patient's condition based on pain, function, and disability, tracking changes throughout treatment.
Many information is available regarding human adaptations to cold or hypoxia. Adaptations to these environments and physical exercise constitute responses to physiological stress aimed at amplifying the organism's reactions and improving its performance. However, studies conducted so far to understand these adaptations and their underlying mechanisms have been organized in a dissociated manner, with each study focusing on only one of these specific situations (cold, hypoxia, or exercise). Understanding cross-adaptations is crucial, as human beings are often simultaneously exposed to several of these stimuli, and understanding this cross-exposure can be considered a prerequisite for pre-acclimatization strategies to these different environments. Cross-adaptations has been defined as follows: "It simply involves considering that long-term exposure (either continuous or intermittent) to a given unfavorable environment not only increases tolerance to that particular environment but also leads to gains or losses of tolerance to other unfavorable factors that the adapted organism had never encountered before." When specifically examining cross-adaptations to cold and hypoxia, only one study focusing on the human model is available. The lack of perspectives and positions regarding the results calls for further investigations. The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of repeated exposures to cryostimulation on the variation of the respiratory exchange ratio in hypoxia during exercise.
Caffeine is a psycho-active substance that is widely consumed in the world. It is seen that its widespread consumption is related to expectancies of consumption as well as cultural factors. Recreationally active individuals may have various expectations from caffeine consumption in line with their lifestyles and goals such as physical, social and/or other aspects. It can be stated that caffeine consumption expectancies have an important role in the process of evaluating consumption patterns. However, in the literature it seems to be very limited information about expectancies related to caffeine consumption. In this direction, the aim of the research was to test the compatibility of Brief-Caffeine Expectancy Questionnaire (B-CaffeQ) to Turkish culture and language. In the study, data will be collected from two separate participant groups and going to analysis. To reveal the structure on the first group (n=250-300 approx.) data, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and to verify the structure on the second group (n=313) data, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) will be used. Reliability will be assessed by performing test-retest and internal consistency analyzes on both the two data groups.
The research was carried out as a randomized controlled trial to examine the physiological and psychological effects of robotic cat and Betta fish therapies in hemodialysis patients.
Objective: To evaluate the marginal adaptation of the zirconia reinforced lithium disilicate (VITA AMBRIA) glass ceramic Inlay/Onlay compared with lithium disilicate(IPS emax Press) glass ceramic Inlay/Onlay in decayed posterior teeth.
This study aims at improving the emotional regulation strategies, enhancing the parent-child relationship and preventing family conflict among newly arrived and cross-boundary families in Hong Kong. We will provide one of the interventions to the participants: (a) the emotion regulation arm, which aimed at improving the emotion management skill for parent and child; or (b) the information provision arm, which aimed at providing information about Hong Kong, such as education, community resources, medical care, employment, housing, and job-seeking. We aim to recruit 200 parent-child pairs to participate in the study. The participants will be randomly assigned into an emotion regulation arm or an information provision arm. The ratio of the two arms is 3:2. Specifically, 120 and 80 parent-child pairs will be assigned to the emotion regulation arm and the information provision arm, respectively. The two intervention arms will provide four 2-hour weekly sessions to the participants. Before the intervention (T1), immediately after the intervention (T2), and one month after completing the intervention (T3), the participants will finish the assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the e-mobile health application on postpartum adaptation. The study will consist of two groups: Experimental group and control group.
The Turkish Version of Life Balance Inventory: Validity, Reliability and Cultural Adaptation.
The goal is to collect pilot data on an adapted version of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian intervention (TranS-C), referred to as 'Fitted TranS-C'.
