The study included 40 knees of 40 patients diagnosed as osteoarthritis (14 males, 26 females; mean age 57.4±5.9 years; range 47 to 67 years). Only the patients who wrote consents for publication of their radiologic data, and with knee roentgenograms and magnetic resonance images of the same knees were selected. Computer-assisted measurements were applied to joint spaces by two blinded physicians, for two times with an interval of one week. Data were evaluated for intraobserver and interobserver consistency. Also, data were compared with qualitative (Kellgren-Lawrence classification), quantitative (joint space width, cartilage thickness, meniscal thickness in magnetic resonance ...

Research paper thumbnail of The cultural adaptation of aberdeen low back pain scale in Turkish patients and the evaluation of response to physical therapy: A Turkish version study

To evaluate the validity and the reliability of the Turkish version of Aberdeen Low Back Pain Scale (ALBP). The cross-cultural adaptation was performed in accordance with recently published guidelines. The Turkish version was administered to 120 patients. Test-retest and internal consistency were evaluated for reliability. Construct validity and criterion validity were measured. Responsiveness of the questionnaire towards changes by the treatment were assessed. All questionnaires were administered at admission, 1 day later, at the end of treatment, and a month after the end of treatment. Patients were assessed with Ostwestry (OLBP), physical and mental component of SF-36 (PCSSF-36, MCSSF-36), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Schober test and visual analog scale for pain (VAS). Retest scores were significant and high (Internal Correlation Coefficent: 0.963). For internal consistency, Cronbach&...

These questionnaires are generic, or domain-or disease-specific (9). Domain-and disease-specific instruments have the potential to be more responsive and sensitive than generic instruments (8), and their clinical importance for measuring treatment outcomes are highlighted (19). Due to the need for assessing the whole spine as a functional unit, █ INTRODUCTION M ost physicians agree on to treat the whole spine as a functional unit, but the higher incidence of low back pain (LBP) prevents interest in questionnaires evaluating the whole spine. Self-reported functional disability is accepted as the most valid outcome measure and there are several tools for assessing the LBP (

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of PRP injection in partial supraspinatus tears by comparing with physical therapy (PT). Patients and Methods: Seventy patients with chronic partial supraspinatus tears in magnetic resonance imaging were randomized into two groups; PRP (n = 35) and PT (n = 35). Before the treatment, at the end of the treatment and at the 12th month after the end of the treatment, range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH), Neer's, Hawkins' and drop arm tests and Beck Depression Inventory were investigated. Results: Statistical analysis was made for 62 subjects (PRP group, n = 30; PT group, n = 32). There were no differences between the groups according to demographic data. At the 12th month after the end of the treatment, significant improvement in ROM was detected in both groups, pain was reduced significantly in both groups and improvement of the DASH score was observed in both groups. At all the evaluation steps, increases in ROM degrees were significantly higher in the PT group than the PRP group. For VAS in activity and in rest, after the treatment, improvement was higher in the PT group than the PRP group. However, improvement of the DASH score of the PRP group was significantly better than the PT group. Conclusions: When we compared with PT, PRP seemed to be a well-tolerated application which showed promising results in patients with chronic partial supraspinatus tears.

The questionnaire was requested to be asked and filled by the officers in charge for all voluntary convicts and prisoners in all penitentiaries throughout Turkey. Results: The rate of answering the questions varied between 20.5% and 100%. It was found that 2% of the participants used pregabalin and gabapentin simultaneously, while 25.2% of them used multiple drugs. The usage rate of pregabalin and gabapentin was higher in some penitentiaries, compared to the normal population. There was a significant positive correlation between the use of gabapentinoids and multiple drugs and alcohol and drug addiction, various withdrawal symptoms, the number of going to the infirmary, and the number of referral to the hospital (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although gabapentinoids seem to be used in the treatment of addiction, and are proved effective treatment agents. With a definite diagnosis, appropriate follow-up, and timely completion of the treatment, it is necessary to strictly control their use due to the probability of abuse and addiction.
