In order to assess functional skills of older adults, both timed up and go (TUG) test and gait speed (GS) test are well validated concerning their predictive capacities. However, the question remains unclear which one of these tests represents better the whole physical performance of older adults. The aim of this study is to determine the more representative test, between TUG and GS, of the who...

In this study, we investigated the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and hematological parameters in twenty one idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients recruited from the patients’ records of Duzce University and Bezmialem Foundation University Medical Faculty Hospitals between 2009 and 2011. We carried blood and CSF examinations to exclude other disorders know...
