Filter by:The purpose of this study is to understand the acute, short-term and long-term impact of transcutaneous and/or percutaneous electrical stimulation with afferent-specific electrical stimulation (asES) on proprioception and fine motor control in the upper extremity. For this purpose, the researchers will use transcutaneous and/or percutaneous asES, high-density electromyography (HD-EMG), arm kinematic measurements, and standardized clinical assessments. This study will be conducted in healthy able-bodied individuals and patients with essential tremor (ET).
The addition of SMA and DMD muscle diseases to newborn screening and premarital carrier screening has been controversial. In this study, researchers aim to measure the awareness level of SMA and DMD muscle diseases of individuals living in Turkey and to obtain information about their attitudes towards newborn and carrier screening and physiotherapy practices. Thus, this study aimed to determine the factors that affect people's views on this subject.
In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) has been used in clinical settings for more than 25 years, and is noninvasive, rapid and easily repeatable technique to investigate ocular surface disorders. It enables morphological and quantitative analysis of ocular surface microstructure. [1-3] As the technology advances, new IVCM machine, Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph with Rostock Corneal Module (HRT-RCM), was developed. Hardware and software modifications and acquisition techniques continue to expand the applications of the HRT-RCM for quantitative in vivo corneal imaging at the cellular level. The new software can access the corneal nerve more accurate. Here the investigators proposed this Institutional Review Board (IRB) to collect healthy persons and cases of different systematic diseases as well as etiologies of ocular surface diseases.
The encapsulation within CM may improve bioavailability (BA) of vitamin D (VD), even in absence of fat. As a model the investigators have chosen nonfat yoghurt. The investigators will prepare yoghurts from 4 milks: (1) Skimmilk enriched with 50,000 IU/150gr VD encapsulated in CM2 ; (2) 3% fat milk wherein same dose of VD - dissolved in milk fat and homogenized into skimmilk; (3) 3% fat milk wherein VD, at same dose, will be in CM; (4) Placebo: unenriched skimmilk. 120 healthy adults aged 18-65 will randomized to 5 groups and receive 150 gr yoghurt. Blood will be drawn before ingestion and on days 1,7,14. 25(OH)D will be det. by CMIA. In vitro simulated digestion will be studied. Expected results: The BA of VD in CM would not be lower than in fat
