OBJECTIVES In recent years, and especially in the past few months, the number of synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai) users has increased in our country. The aim of this study was to draw attention to the consumption of bonsai among young people and reveal the demographic and basic clinical characteristics of these users. METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted at the Ümraniye Training and...

background new drugs are increasingly used to induce analgesia during surgeries. this study compared the analgesic effects of paracetamol and magnesium sulfate. methods sixty patients with american society of anesthesiologists (asa) class i or ii patients who were candidates for surgery of the lower limbs were randomly divided into three equal groups who were age and gender matched. group 1 rec...

background: single leg drop landing is one of the common sport activities that have greater likelihood of leading to traumatic oflower extremity. however, there is limited understanding of biomechanics of this maneuver. hence, this study aimed to compare the activities of lower limb muscles during pre- and post phases of single leg drop landing. methods: this semi-experimental research of 13 ph...

introduction: based on the previous studies, we know that the hemispheric lateralization defects, increase the probability of psychological disorders. we also know that dominant limb is controlled by dominant hemisphere and limb preference is used as an indicator for hemisphere dominance. in this study we attempted to explore the hemispheric dominance by the use of three limbs (hand, foot and e...

Special psychiatric services for the elderly now exist, some very well developed, in about half of all health districts, and over one tenth of all consultants in general psychiatry specialise in work with the elderly.' This development has taken place largely over the past decade, reflecting both progress in psychiatry and growing concern about how to cope with The Rising Tide2 of mental disord...

More fossil specimens and an eagerly awaited age for Homo naledi raise new questions and open fresh opportunities for paleoanthropologists.

Relationships between the environment and population dynamics in ecology have a long history of polarized debates usually involving two alternative and opposite explanations that exclude each other. One of the best known examples is found in the early question of what regulates populations and the role of extrinsic vs. intrinsic factors, opposing the importance of the environment (or density-in...

Hydrodynamics of multiple rising bubbles as a fundamental two-phase phenomenon is studied numerically by lattice Boltzmann method and using Lee two-phase model. Lee model based on Cahn-Hilliard diffuse interface approach uses potential form of intermolecular forces and isotropic finite difference discretization. This approach is able to avoid parasitic currents and leads to a stable procedure t...
