Intra-urethral Prolene tape erosion is a rare postoperative complication of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) plasty. In cases reported in the literature, intra-urethral tape positioning has been diagnosed by urethroscopy as late as 3-12 months after the procedure. Introital ultrasound using a vaginal sector scanner allows for the non-invasive assessment of the position of the Prolene tape in rel...

Objectives. The purpose of this study was the importance of applying Kinesio tape (KT) in relieving the pain in athletes' ankles using Y balance test and star. Methods. 22 male athletes with average age of 22.33±1.37 were discussed with and without Kinesio tape.

[Purpose] Elastic therapeutic tape has been widely used for rehabilitation and treatment of sports injuries. Tapes with different elastic properties serve different treatment purposes with inappropriate tension reducing tape effectiveness. Many tapes are available in the market, but studies on tape properties are limited. The aim of this study was to examine the material properties of elastic t...

We report the synthesis of free 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape). Tape was obtained from 1,1'-bis-2,7-naphthyridine by potassium promoted cyclization followed by oxidation with air. Mono- and dinuclear ruthenium(II) 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene complexes of the general formulas [Ru(L-L)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2), [1](PF(6))(2)-[5](PF(6))(2), and [{Ru(L-L)(2)}(2)(μ-tape)](PF(6))(4), [6](PF(6))(4)-[10](PF...
