Radiomorphometric indices and FD were measured bilaterally on selected condylar (F1, F6) and gonial regions (F2, F5), as well as between the first molar and second premolar teeth (F3, F4) bilaterally.ResultsIn the F3 and F4 regions, the POST-P group exhibited lower FD values compared to the PERI-H group (p = 0.035, p = 0.001, respectively). In the F1 region, significantly lower FD values were observed in the POST-P group versus the PERI-H, PERI-P and POST- H groups (p = 0.017, p = 0.011 and p = 0.017, respectively), and the POST-H group showed significantly lower FD values than the PERI-H group (p = 0.011). Cortical bone classification showed that C1 was most common in the PERI-H group (66.7%), C2 in the POST-H and POST-P groups (60.0%, 66.7%, respectively), and C3 in the POST-P group (26.7%) (p = 0.004).ConclusionsPostmenopausal females exhibited greater bone resorption in the alveolar region and the right condyle, and also showed lower FD values compared to perimenopausal females. Additionally, females with periodontitis exhibited lower fractal dimension values and increased bone porosity compared to the healthy group.","PeriodicalId":48978,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"477-488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145349507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive GWG increases the risk of complications and contributes to the prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age. Despite existing guidelines, many pregnant individuals struggle to manage GWG effectively. Therefore, theory-based and evidence-informed interventions that provide continuous support are urgently needed. Mobile health (mHealth) applications have emerged as promising, cost-effective, and accessible tools for promoting healthy behaviors during pregnancy. This study describes the development of a theory-based mHealth application guided by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model.ObjectiveThis study aims to present the design and development process of \"Gebelikte Kilo Yönetimi\" (Gestational Weight Management), a user-centered, evidence-based mHealth application intended to promote healthy nutrition, physical activity, and GWG in line with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations.MethodsA two-phase, parallel-group, single-blind randomized controlled trial was designed. In Phase 1, the mobile application was developed to support healthy GWG. In Phase 2, its effectiveness in improving adherence to IOM guidelines, promoting healthy eating, and increasing physical activity among pregnant women will be evaluated. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06542679).ConclusionsThis mHealth application may offer a scalable, accessible alternative to traditional face-to-face counseling, particularly in settings with limited healthcare access or during public health crises. It holds potential to improve GWG outcomes and support maternal health through digital innovation.","PeriodicalId":48978,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"489-500"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145472377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration was synchronised with resting breathing. Tidal volume (Vt), minute ventilation (Ve), and thoracoabdominal displacement were measured. A linear mixed-effects model was used to compare outcomes across conditions.ResultsThe 8-point stimulation significantly increased Vt and Ve compared to the 4-point and control conditions (p < 0.01). Rib cage displacement also increased, while abdominal motion remained unchanged. These findings suggest that enhanced ventilation was primarily due to rib cage expansion.ConclusionSynchronized multi-site intercostal vibration improves ventilation by increasing rib cage expansion in healthy adults and may offer a novel non-invasive respiratory facilitation strategy.","PeriodicalId":48978,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"467-476"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145309675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has demonstrated vascular benefits in untrained individuals, its acute effects on strength-trained athletes remain unclear.ObjectiveThis study investigates the impact of a single aerobic session on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in strength-trained throwers and untrained controls.MethodsEleven male university throwers and eleven healthy controls participated. Participants completed 30 min of moderate-intensity cycling at 50% of heart rate reserve. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and reactive hyperemia-peripheral arterial tonometry index (RHI) were measured at baseline, immediately after exercise, and 40 min post-exercise.ResultsArterial stiffness decreased significantly in the controls (p = 0.003) but showed no change in the throwers. Endothelial function, as measured by RHI, improved significantly in both groups post-exercise (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in RHI improvement between groups.ConclusionsIn the throwers group, a single session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise did not lead to a significant reduction in arterial stiffness but resulted in an improvement in endothelial function.

Robotic-assisted rehabilitation, particularly with the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), has emerged as an innovative approach to enhance motor recovery and functional outcomes. HAL is a wearable exoskeleton that detects bioelectrical signals and provides real-time support, offering unique opportunities for task-specific and intensive neurorehabilitation.ObjectiveThis narrative review summarizes recent clinical evidence on the application of HAL in stroke rehabilitation, focusing on its effects on gait, upper limb recovery, activities of daily living (ADL), and safety, while discussing its limitations and future directions.MethodsA literature search of PubMed and Scopus was conducted for studies investigating HAL-assisted rehabilitation in stroke patients. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, pilot studies, and relevant narrative reviews.ResultsEvidence from randomized and non-randomized studies suggests that HAL-assisted rehabilitation can improve gait velocity, balance, and, to a lesser extent, upper limb function in both acute and chronic stroke populations. Several systematic reviews and RCTs (2022-2025) have confirmed its potential benefits compared to conventional physiotherapy, though findings remain heterogeneous. HAL is generally safe and well tolerated, but high costs, limited availability, and methodological variations across studies constrain generalizability.ConclusionHAL-assisted rehabilitation represents a promising adjunct to conventional stroke therapy, with growing evidence supporting its efficacy in motor recovery. However, current data are limited by small sample sizes, inconsistent protocols, and lack of long-term follow-up. Large-scale, multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted to establish its clinical utility, cost-effectiveness, and integration into routine care.","PeriodicalId":48978,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"516-521"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147700595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
