Analysis of chippaux smirak index on dynamic balance scores

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine whether Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI) calculated from footprint and measurements takenfrom foot have an effect on balance scores.Materials and Methods: 61volunteers (25 males, 36 females) between the ages of 18 and 24 were included in our study and 122feet were measured. Footprints of the participants were taken by using Harris imprint. Footprints were scanned, the parameterswere measured with Digimizer program and CSI was calculated. Metatarsal foot width (MFW), maximum metatarsal foot width(MMFW), length of the foot (LoFA), heel width (HW) and foot length (FL) taken from footprints were measured. Individuals withCSI >62.70% were considered as flatfooted and excluded from the study. Dynamic balance measurements were made with BiodexBalance System (BBS) (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, 2000, New York). Overall (OA), anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral(ML) dynamic balance assessments of the participants were made with eyes open.Results: According to Mann Whitney U analysis results, statistically significant difference was found between MFW, MMFW, LoFA,HW and FL parameters of men and women in both feet (p<0.05). It was found that OA, AP and ML balance scores had a statisticallysignificant difference between men and women for dynamic balance (p<0.05). According to Sperman Rho correlation analysis, apositive correlation was found between weight and body mass index (BMI) and balance scores in men and women. It was found thatthere was no significant correlation between CSI and balance scores.Conclusion: As a conclusion, while no association was found between weight and BMI and CSI, a positive correlation was foundbetween weight and balance scores. We believe the fact that women have lower BMI gives them an advantage in terms of balancescores. In addition, it was found as a result of this study that there was no association between CSI and balance scores. We believethat our study will have an important place in literature and be a guide since we compared both genders

MORPHOMETRIC COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT RADIAL HEAD TYPES

The aim of this study is to determine morphometric measurements difference of radial head (RH) types. 49 dry radial bones were included in the study. After determining the types of radius, morphometric measurements were made with digital calliper. The parameters were determined as the length of radius, height of the radius, transverse diameter of RH, anterior-posterior diameter of RH, radial tuberosity transverse diameter and height, length and transverse diameter of ulnar notch. As the result of RH classification, it has been determined that; 20 bones had irregular, 15 bones had oval and 14 bones had round type. In order to on all group average; radius length of RH, the height of RH, transverse diameter of RH, anteroposterior diameter of RH were calculated as 207.99±21.97 mm, 9.45±1.68 mm, 19.94±3.15 mm, 20.20±3.09 mm respectively. In order to on all group aver-age; transverse diameter of radial tuberosity, height of radial tuberosity, the height of ulnar notch, transverse diameter of ulnar notch were 12.07±1.3 mm, 25.36±2.78 mm, 13.86±1.56 mm, 5.27±0.8 mm respectively. Ac-cording to the results of One Way Anova analysis, no statistically significant difference was found between RH types (p>0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between RH types in all parameters.Bu çalışmanın amacı radius başı (RB) tiplerinin morfometrik ölçüm farklılıklarını belirlemektir.

Fiziksel Engelli Çocuklarda Beslenme Durumu ile Somatotip Profilleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Değerlendirilmesi

Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenme durumu somatotip karaktertipini etkileyebilir. Bu çocuklarda beslenme durumunun olumsuzetkilenmesi aşırı zayıflığa veya aşırı kilo alımına, özelliklekilonun vücudun santral bölgesinde toplanmasına nedenolabilecek bir etkendir. Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenmeninobezite ile ilişkisi bilinmekle birlikte, somatotip üzerine etkisiniaraştıran sınırlı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada fizikselengelli çocuklarda beslenme durumunun somatotip karakterleriüzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 84 fizikselengelli çocuk katıldı. Çocuklar fonksiyonel engel seviyeleri KabaMotor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemi (KMFSS) ile değerlendirildi.Çocukların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)değişkenleri belirlendi. Somatotip karakter analizi Heath-Cartermetodu ile beslenme durumu ise Çocuk Beslenme Anketi (ÇBA)ile değerlendirildi. Çocuklarda ‘mezomorfik endomorf’, ‘endomezomorf’, ‘dengeli ektomorf’ ile ‘mezomorfi ve endomorfi’olmak üzere 4 somatotip karakteri belirlendi. Yapılan istatistikselanaliz sonucunda fiziksel engelli çocukların somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki olmadığıbelirlendi (p>0.05). Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Budurum fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotip karakteri belirleyendiğer etkenlerin araştırılması yönünden dikkate alınmalıdır.The nutritional status in physically disabled children may affect the somatotype character type. Negatively affected nutritional status of these children is a factor that may cause excessive weakness or excessive weight gain, especially in the central part of the body. Although it is known that nutrition in children with physical disabilities is associated with obesity, there is limited study investigating the effect of somatotype on nutrition. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nutritional status on the somatotype characteristics of children with physical disabilities. 84 physically disabled children participated in the study. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is used to evaluate the functional disability level of children. Age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) variables of the children were determined. Somatotype character analysis was evaluated by the Heath-Carter Method and nutritional status was evaluated by the Child Nutrition Questionnaire. 4 somatotype characters; mesomorphic endomorph, endo-mesomorph, balanced ectomorph, mesomorphy and endomorphy are determined in children. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that the nutritional status of physically disabled children did not affect somatotype characteristics (p>0.05). It was determined that somatotype characters did not affect the nutritional status of children with physical disabilities. This situation should be taken into consideration in terms of investigating other factors that determine the somatotype character in children with physical disabilities

The role of chrysin against harmful effects of formaldehyde exposure on the morphology of rat fetus liver and kidney development

This study was aimed to investigate possible harmful effects of formaldehyde (FA) exposure on the morphology of fetus liver and kidney development during pregnancy and also to determinate possible protective role of chrysin (CH) against these harmful effects. For this aim, after pregnancy was induced, 58 female rats were divided into 6 groups. Serum physiologic (SF) was injected to the Group I rats intraperitoneally (i.p.). 20 mg/kg CH was given to the Group II via gavage. 0.1 mg/kg FA was applied to the Group III (i.p.), 1 mg/kg FA was injected to Group IV (i.p.) 0.1 mg/kg FA was given to Group V i.p., and 20 mg/kg CH was given to the same group via gavage. 1 mg/kg FA was applied to Group VI i.p., and 20 mg/kg CH was given to the same group via gavage. Fetuses were taken from each pregnant rat with cesarean section on the 20th day of the pregnancy. The morphological analyses of the fetuses, liver and kidney; biochemical and histological analyses of the liver and kidney were performed. The fetal body, liver and kidney weight of the FA groups demonstrated a statistically significant decrease the compared to control group. Also the FA-1 group were observed histopathological changes on the fetus liver and kidneys. FA exposure causes harmful effects on fetus the liver and kidneys. CH reduces the negative effect on morphological variables statistically. Although CH is insufficient to fix the histopathological changes that occur in the liver, damaging effects that occur in the kidney decreased statisticall
