This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of NeoMayor, a mobile health (mHealth) intervention designed to improve cardiovascular health among older adults at elevated cardiovascular risk in Chile. NeoMayor is a smartphone-based application that provides personalized guidance on physical activity, diet, sleep, and mental well-being through a multidomain lifestyle approach. This multicenter randomized controlled trial will enroll community-dwelling older adults aged 55 to 75 years recruited from primary healthcare centers in urban and rural settings. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either the NeoMayor intervention or a control group receiving standard health information and usual care. The intervention duration will be four months. The primary objective is to determine whether the NeoMayor intervention improves cardiovascular health as measured by the Life's Essential 8 Cardiovascular Health Index. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in cognitive performance, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, quality of life and physical performance outcomes. The study will also assess feasibility and adherence to digital intervention.

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of high-calorie diets and specialized nutritional formulas on weight gain and clinical outcomes in underweight children aged 1 to 5 years with congenital heart disease (CHD). Children with CHD often experience growth failure due to increased energy needs and feeding difficulties, which can negatively impact their recovery, development, and overall health. Seventy-five children will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group receiving a standard diet, a group receiving a high-calorie diet made from energy-dense foods, and a third group receiving both the high-calorie diet and a specialized high-calorie pediatric formula. The study will measure changes in weight, appetite, feeding tolerance, and other growth indicators over an 8-week period. The goal is to determine whether enhanced nutritional support can improve weight gain and health outcomes in this high-risk population.

This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the relationship between postural habits and body awareness with functional performance across different body mass index (BMI) categories in women. Participants will be categorized into four groups based on BMI (normal weight, overweight, obesity class I, and obesity class II-III). Postural habits and awareness, body awareness, and functional performance will be assessed using validated questionnaires and performance-based tests. The study also aims to explore the potential contribution of central adiposity (waist circumference) and psychological factors to these relationships. Findings are expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical and perceptual factors associated with obesity.

The purpose of this study is to examine if educational intervention in high risk patients can lead to decreased hospital readmissions when compared to patients who are not in the intervention program. Additionally, to determine patient satisfaction with the educational program.

This study aims to investigate the effects of body weight on physical activity level, functional capacity, balance, and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 50 volunteer patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited from the Internal Medicine and Nutrition outpatient clinics of Bezmialem Vakıf University Hospital. Participants will be prospectively evaluated through face-to-face interviews. Assessments will include body composition analysis (Omron Body Composition Monitor), waist-to-hip ratio, lower extremity muscle strength (Muscle Hand-Held Dynamometer), grip strength (Hand Grip Dynamometer), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form), functional capacity (6-Minute Walk Test), balance (Biodex Balance System), clinical balance (Berg Balance Scale), and quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile). All statistical analyses will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20. With this study, we aim to comprehensively evaluate multiple parameters in individuals with T2DM and investigate their interrelationships, thereby contributing to the current body of knowledge in the literature.

Background: The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) is a non-invasive parameter utilizing multi-wavelength pulse co-oximetry. ORI can provide early warnings of deteriorating oxygenation before changes are reflected in SpO₂ levels. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of non-ventilated intubation in patients undergoing cholecystectomy as a means to achieve safe intubation without nasogastric tube placement, with reduced trauma and cost, and improved time efficiency.

To determine the relationship between clinical appearance, dermoscopic examination results of photoaging profiles based on clinical examination, DPAS score and leucocyte telomere length, to analyze the relationship between BMI, waist circumference, triglycerides, and cellular senescence biomarker p16 levels with a population experiencing skin aging and having Fitzpatrick III-V skin types. The questions which is aim to be answered are: 1. What is the photoaging profile based on clinical examination results in skin aging cases? 2. What is the photoaging profile based on DPAS scores in skin aging cases? 3. What is the leucocyte telomere length profile in skin aging cases? 4. What is the relationship between leucocyte telomere length and clinical examination in skin aging cases? 5. What is the relationship between leucocyte telomere length and DPAS degree in skin aging cases? 6. What is the profile of cellular senescence p16 biomarker levels in a population that has experienced clinical skin aging with Fitzpatrick III-V skin types? 7. What is the skin aging profile based on the Glogau and DPAS scales in a population with Fitzpatrick III-V skin types? 8. Is there a relationship between the results of the cellular senescence p16 biomarker examination and clinical skin aging assessed based on the Glogau and DPAS scales in a population with Fitzpatrick III-V skin types? 9. Is there a relationship between the results of BMI, waist circumference, and triglyceride examinations with clinical skin aging assessed using the Glogau and DPAS scales with Fitzpatrick III-V skin types?

Individuals with high and normal body mass index will be included in this study.
