Article Examination of the Mental Health Status of University Students Directly or Indirectly Affected by the Earthquake(SAGE Publications Inc., 2025) Ayık, Y.; Kaya, H.; Sarısahin, S.; Ozturk, B.; Kayıhan, H.Objective: This study examines the mental health status of university students directly affected by the earthquake in the disaster zone and those indirectly affected by being outside the earthquake zone during the Kahramanmaraş earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, 2023. Methods: A total of 109 students from 37 universities in 24 cities participated. Data were collected using an online survey that included a Demographic Information Form, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), the Earthquake Anxiety Scale, the DSM-5 PTSD checklist, and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21. Mental health outcomes of directly and indirectly affected students were compared. Results: Students directly affected showed significantly higher levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and earthquake-related anxiety. Among indirectly affected students, females reported higher IES-R, PTSD, and earthquake anxiety scores than males. Regression analysis identified factors such as earthquake exposure, loss of relatives, involvement in search and rescue, and relocation as linked to adverse mental health outcomes. Conclusion: Although students directly affected by the earthquake are at greater risk for PTSD, depression, and anxiety, both groups face significant mental health problems. As these effects may be ongoing rather than temporary, the role of occupational therapy in promoting occupational engagement and mental health in disaster management is noteworthy. © The Author(s) 2025Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Effect of Neck Mobilization Vs. Combined Neck and Lumbar Mobilization on Pain and Range of Motion in People With Cervical Disc Herniation: a Randomized Controlled Study(Elsevier, 2025) Ozdincler, Arzu; Aktas, Dogan; Reyhanioglu, Duygu Aktar; Ozturk, BasarBackground: To assess the effectiveness of Kaltenborn-Evjenth Orthopedic Manual Therapy (KEOMT) applied to cervical-only mobilization versus both lumbar and cervical regions on pain intensity and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with cervical disc herniation. Methods: Thirty-three participants were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received cervical-only KEOMT, while Group B received combined lumbar and cervical KEOMT. Interventions were administered three times a week for four weeks. Pain was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ROM was assessed for flexion and lateral flexion, and Neck Pain and Disability Index (NPDI) and Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) were used for evaluation. Results: In intra-group measurements, a statistically significant difference was observed in all parameters of pain, ROM, disability, and quality of life for the mobilization methods applied in both groups (p < 0.05). Group B demonstrated significantly greater improvements in ROM/flexion, pain, and disability outcomes compared to Group A in inter-group measurements (p < 0.05). Physical and emotional sub-groups of quality of life measures also favored Group B in intergroup analysis (p < 0.05). However, the power values for ROM and quality of life parameters were found to be low. Conclusions: The cervical plus lumbar KEOMT technique is more effective than cervical-only mobilization in improving pain and disability. However, low power values for ROM and quality of life suggest these results may lack clinical significance, warranting further research.Article Genç Elit Yelkencilerde Gövde Kas Enduransı, Kuvvet, Güç, Denge ve Esnekliğin Karşılaştırılması(2024) Aklar, Ayça; Öztürk, Başar; Öztürk, Beyza BaşerAmaç: Çalışma, genç elit yelkencilerde core dayanıklılık seviyeleri, denge performansı, kas kuvveti ve esneklik arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Sporcular Galatasaray yelken kulübünden rastgele seçilmiş ve windsurfing (n=14), optimist (n=13) ve lazer (n=13) yelken sınıfları olmak üzere göre üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Yelkencilerin demografik özellikleri, vücut kitle indeksleri ve dominant tarafları kaydedilmiştir. Üst ekstremite kuvveti, el dinamometresi kullanılarak değerlendirildi, alt ekstremite gücü ise dikey sıçrama, uzun atlama ve tek ayakla sıçrama testleriyle değerlendirildi. Core dayanıklılık değerlendirmesi için mekik, plank ve rotary stabilite testleri uygulanmıştır. Denge ve esneklik değerlendirmesi için Y denge, düz bacak kaldırma, omuz esneklik, otur- uzan, omuz elevasyon ve tüm vücut rotasyon testleri uygulanmıştır. Üç gruptan elde edilen veriler Kruskal-Wallis H testi kullanılarak analiz edildi ve gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar Mann-Whitney U testi ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Yelken sınıfları gruplar arası karşılaştırıldığında hem sağ hem de sol elin ortalama değerleri açısından el kavrama testi sonuçlarında anlamlı bir fark vardır ve en yüksek ortalama değer laser grubundadır (p<0,001). Durarak uzun atlama testi sonuçlarında gruplar arasında anlamlı fark olduğu görülmüştür ve en yüksek ortalama değer laser grubundadır (p<0,001). Tek bacak zıplama testi sonuçlarına göre anlamlı fark vardır ve en yüksek ortalama değer rüzgar sörfü grubundadır (p<0,05). Y dengesi testi sonuçlarına göre hem sağ hem de sol tarafta gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark vardır ve en yüksek ortalama değer optimist grubundadır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar özellikle kuvvet ve denge parametrelerinde, her yelken sınıfının farklı fiziksel özelliklere sahip olduğunu ve spesifik performans parametrelerine ihtiyacı olduğunu göstermektedir.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Investigating the Impact of Various Insole Applications on Balance and Postural Stability in the Elderly(Elsevier, 2025) Ozturk, Basar; Ozdincler, Arzu Razak; Kocyigit, Ahmet; Kaya, Begum Kara; Kisa, Eylul PinarObjectives: Aging leads to physical and cognitive declines, notably affecting balance and motor skills, making falls a prevalent health concern among the elderly. Falls, a significant health issue among the elderly, often stem from these impairments. This study aims to investigate the impact of different insole materials, specifically cork and silicone, on balance and postural stability in the elderly. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Istanbul Barinyurt Elderly Care Center with 24 participants, divided into two groups to test cork and silicone insoles. Balance parameters, plantar pressure, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test were used as measures. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests. Results: Post-intervention, the cork insole group showed significant improvements in balance, maximum plantar pressure, and functional mobility tests compared to the silicone insole group. While both insoles enhanced certain balance parameters and walking performance, cork insoles proved more effective in key outcomes. Additionally, maximum plantar pressure for the cork insoles group decreased significantly, indicating better pressure distribution and potentially enhanced balance. Conclusion: Cork insoles are superior to silicone insoles in improving balance and postural stability among the elderly. This study supports using cork insoles as part of fall prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of material properties in orthopedic insole design. Future research should explore long-term effects and integrate insoles with other postural stability methods for comprehensive elderly care.Article Unraveling the Potential of Stem Cell Therapy in Motor Neuron Disease: A Narrative Review(Bentham Science Publ, 2025) Essa, Syed Muhammad; Khosa, Noor Ahmed; Kakar, Amanullah; Ozturk, Basar; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Haq, NomanMotor neuron disorders (MNDs), including ALS, are deadly neurodegenerative conditions that cause progressive motor neuron degeneration. With neuroprotection and the potential for neuron regeneration employing MSCs, ESCs, iPSCs, and NSCs, stem cell treatment presents a viable alternative to current medicines, which only control a limited number of symptoms. Following PRISMA criteria, this narrative review methodically screened 1248 records from the Cochrane, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Following a thorough screening process, 22 studies, including preclinical models and 19 clinical trials, were analysed to assess the therapeutic mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of stem cell therapies for MNDs. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown a promising safety profile and possible therapeutic efficacy in ALS, with no substantial transplant-related toxicity noted. ALS functional rating scale-revised (ALSFRS-R) scores and forced vital capacity (FVC) assessments from clinical trials, such as those evaluating autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs, demonstrated stabilisation in ALS development. Studies have also emphasised as to how immunomodulation and neurotrophic factors play a part in MSC-based therapies. Recent data indicate that repeated intrathecal MSC injection could extend the duration of therapeutic advantages. Clinical trials have shown safety and early efficacy signals for motor neurons produced from embryonic stem cells (ESCs), especially using AstroRx (R). This suggests that ESCs could be a viable option for regenerative medicine. Nonetheless, issues, like host integration and differentiation optimisation, still exist. Although clinical translation is still in its early stages, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their derivatives provide disease modelling and patient-specific therapeutic applications. Stem cell therapy holds promise for treating MND, with MSCs leading the way in current trials. It is necessary to enhance ESC- and iPSC-based techniques to tackle integration issues. To ensure long-term safety and efficacy, therapies must be developed using standardised protocols, patient stratification, optimised delivery, and large-scale studies.
