Introduction: Romberg test is one of the balance screening tests. Since this test does not require special equipment, it is widely used in the evaluation of people suffering from balance disorders. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity of the Romberg test for the diagnosis of peripheral vestibular dysfunction compared with the caloric test that is the gold standard for the diagnosis of horizontal semicircular canal/superior vestibular nerve disorders.Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional-comparative study and the sample was selected from those who referred to the audi

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) maintains homeostasis through the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic subsystems or divisions. Currently, analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) offers an indirect, non-invasive assessment of ANS function. An irregular lifestyle and stress are known to affect ANS balance, influencing many diseases. Moreover, ANS disorder plays an important role in climacteric symptoms in menopausal females. The purpose of this study was designed to assess the effects of yoga practice sessions (herein referred to as “yoga”) on ANS function and focused on the relat

The loss of muscle mass and cachexia is commonly seen in hemodialysis (HD) patients and contribute to morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism of this fact is multifactorial and still unclear. Myostatin, a transforming growth factor-ß family ligand, is released from the skeletal and heart muscle and may be responsible for muscle degradation and atrophy. The aim of this study is evaluation of the relationship between muscle mass and serum myostatin level in chronic HD patients. One hundred and forty HD patients (79 males, 28 diabetic, mean age; 53.96 ± 13.6) were included in this cross-sect

Abstract Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) production in Japan faces major challenges from virus yellows (VY), caused by beet leaf yellowing virus (BLYV) and transmitted by aphids. Outbreaks have reduced sugar yields, and breeding for tolerant varieties has not been conducted in Japan. This study marks the first step toward developing VY‐tolerant varieties by testing three hypotheses: (1) leaf yellowing can be induced by artificial inoculation, (2) tolerance varies among breeding materials, and (3) differences in tolerance to yellowing disease can be evaluated. From 2017 to 2020, four sugar beet mate
