Background and Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM), through the presence of widespread chronic pain, stiffens the musculoskeletal system and causes sleep disturbances and fatigue. Through this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of two different recovery interventions for improving sleep quality: a standard, multidisciplinary intervention in a recovery hospital versus a therapy focused on intrinsic relaxation… →
Background and Objectives: Prediabetes is a medical disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that exceed normal levels but do not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to assess the impact of structured exercise manual interventions on the biochemical markers of sedentary prediabetic patients over sixteen weeks. Materials and… →
Background/Objectives:Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is an important nosocomial diarrheal disease. The benefits of the probiotic Bacillus licheniformis (B. licheniformis) in the preservation of intestinal microbiota have not been studied in patients with CDI to date. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of B. licheniformis in preserving the intestinal microbiota in patients with CDI. Methods:… →
Background: Dysmenorrhea, categorized as primary (PD) or secondary (SD), significantly affects females during their reproductive years, impairing quality of life, performance, and social relationships. Alongside medical treatment, exercise and probiotics are complementary measures for managing PD and promoting health. This study examined the impact of probiotic supplementation and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on PD severity,… →
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperexcitation (PSH) refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden increase in sympathetic excitability caused by severe brain injury. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and practicality of combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with medication to treat PSH and employ non-linear electroencephalography (EEG) to assess changes in cortical activation post-intervention.… →
OpenCV is widely used for image and video processing. Unlike static images, videos consist of multiple frames played in sequence, requiring careful handling of frame rates and smooth processing. This adds complexity, demanding efficient computation and dynamic frame management. Reading a video file requires processing each frame individually, and then displaying or storing it as… →
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social interaction and repetitive behaviors (RBs). Therapies specifically targeting RBs have been underexplored despite advances in understanding their neurobiological basis. This study aims to evaluate whether high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can reduce dysfunctional RBs in autistic children and investigate… →
