Mobility is the basic need for functionality in human life. Physically disabled people often require mobility aids and wheelchairs are the most commonly preferred assistive mobility devices for enhancing independent functional mobility. Today, powered and manual wheelchair technology is available. Manual wheelchair propulsion necessitates more repetitive loading, but because the human body is not designed for such movement, musculoskeletal and functional issues such as pain and joint limitation may arise among manual wheelchair users. They require more support from their spine, arm, elbow, and ...Daha fazlası

Age-related macular degeneraton is an eye disease that is one of the biggest causes of blindness worldwide. Age-related macular degeneration is a complex and multifactorial disease. Although there are many risk factors both environmental and genetic such as ethnicity, age, genetics, family history, and oxidativestress, the most effective and modifiable risk factor in preventing age-related macular degeneration is smoking. In addition, the fact that nutrition is a potentially modifiable risk factor suggeststhat it may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. In many epidemiological ...Daha fazlası
Objective –The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local resveratrol
(RSVL) administration on bone formation in response to expansion of the interpremaxillary
suture, in rats.
Material and Methods – Twenty 50- to 60-day-old male Wistar rats were separated
into two equal groups. Both groups were subjected to expansion, and 30 cN of force
was applied to the maxillary incisors with helical-spring. Twenty-four hours after
appliance placement, single-dose 10 lmol ⁄ kg RSVL in the dimethylsulfoxide

were included in this study. All miniscrew implants were placed bilaterally between the maxillary second premolars
and first molars as anchorage units for canine distalization. Peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid was taken
from the mesiobuccal aspects of the loaded and unl ...Daha fazlası
