Öğe Computer aided simulation with finite element analysis of the effect of face mask use against Covid-19 and other infections(2022) Gök, Kadir; İnal, Canan; İnal, Sermet; Gök, Arif; Ada, DenizViruses are the leading infectious diseases. Viruses spread very fast and has a mortal risk to people with chronic diseases. Different methods are being sought to protect against the virus. In this study, the effect of face mask used against Covid-19 and other infections were investigated using finite element analysis. The effects of droplets formed because of cough or sneezing on the masked and without masked human model were analyzed. The human model without mask has a negative effective on the human face. The risk of infection is higher on the unmasked human model than on the masked human model.Öğe The effects of nintendo wii balance training on cases with chronic knee problems: a randomised controlled trial(2022) Aksoy, Cihan Caner; Aslan, Ummuhan Baş; Taşpınar, Ferruh; İnal, SermetObjective: This study aimed to examine the effects of Nintendo Wii® (NW) Balance Training on the balance and muscle strength of patients with chronic orthopedic knee problems. Methods: The design of the study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 40 volunteers with chronic orthopedic knee problems were randomly divided into NW and control groups with odd-even rule (ratio 1:1). Participants were assessed at the first session, at the end of the study (6 weeks). Balance was evaluated using the Kinesthetic Ability Trainer® (KAT) and Single Leg Stance Test (SLST), while muscle strength of hip flexor, extensor and abductor, knee flexor and extensor, and dorsiflexor were tested using a Hand-Held Dynamometer. Results: A total of 33 volunteers analysed. In the study group (n=15), statistically significant differences were observed in the KAT parameters (p<0.05, dppc2: 0.13-1.09), SLST results (p<0.01, dppc2: 0.78-0.99), and strength (p<0.01, dppc2: 0.41-1.35) after training compared to the baseline values and no significant change was observed (p>0.05) in the control group (n=18). Conclusion: The results indicated that balance training using NW was effective for the balance and muscle strength of patients with chronic orthopedic knee problems.Öğe Evaluation of screwing configurations in conventional plating of femoral shaft fractures using finite element analysis(World Scientific, 2021) Öztepe, Burkay; Gök, Kadir; Erdoğan, Yasin; İnal, Sermet; Gök, ArifSeveral fractures that occur in the human body depend on trauma or as a result of hormonal and bone fatigue. Fracture types that take place out of the neck area of the femoral bone are named femoral shaft fractures. Femoral shaft fractures are frequent conditions in orthopedics. Conventional plating method is a method that necessitates the fixation of the contact surface by contacting the epiphyses used in the treatment of such fractures. This method is known to be efficent in speeding up the healing process by reducing the movement between the epiphyses. In this study, femur models which are plated in various forms with fractures were analyzed with computer-aided finite element software and stresses on bone surfaces and fracture surfaces were determined. It is aimed to determine the best result by examining the relationship between the inputs such as the number of screws used during plating, the fixation area and material selection and the outputs obtained by finding the stresses on the bone surface and stresses on the broken surfaces. © 2021 World Scientific Publishing Company.Öğe Histopathological and biomechanical investigation of the effect of momordica charantia on fracture healing, kidney, and liver: an experimental rat model(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2021) Özturk, Burhan; İnal, Sermet; Dülgeroğlu, Turan Cihan; Üzümcügil, Alaaddin Oktar; Deger, Ayşenur; Kuyubasi, Sabit Numan; Gök, KadirMomordica charantia (MC) is a plant belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. MC has antidiabetic, antibacterial, antioxidant, antimutagenic, antiulcerative, antiinflammatory and antilipidemic effects. However, information on the effect of MC on fracture union is lacking. This study aimed to examine the effect of MC on fracture union histopathologically and biomechanically. A total of 42 male Wistar-Albino rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 14 in each group. A diaphyseal fracture was created on the right tibia of all rats. All fractures were fixed with a Kirschner (K) wire. The rats in Group I did not undergo any further procedures (Control group). Group II rats were treated with 0.9% saline oral gavage at a dose of 500 mu L/day for 28 days [Saline (S) group]. The rats in Group III were given 300mg/kg MC extract per day, dissolved in 500 mu L 0.9% saline by oral gavage for 28 days [MC (Extract) group]. After 28 days, all rats were sacrificed. Each group was randomly divided into two subgroups. The histopathological examination was performed on the right tibia of rats in the first subgroup and the biomechanical examination in the second subgroup. The kidneys and livers of all rats were evaluated histopathologically. Fracture union was significantly better in the Extract group compared with the Control and S groups histopathologically. The fracture inflammation values were lower in the Extract group than in the other groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of possible side effects to kidneys and livers. In terms of biomechanics, fracture union was significantly better in the Extract group compared with the Control and S groups except yield displacement values. MC had a positive effect on fracture union histopathologically and biomechanically.
