    COMPARISON OF BODY FAT MEASUREMENTS IN PATIENTS WITH PREMATURE EJACULATION AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
    (Inonu University, 2026) Tahtalı, İbrahim Nüvit; Arpacı, Muhammed Furkan; Uzun, Gökçe Bağcı; Deniz, Mine Argali; Çiçek, İpek Balıkçı; Çiçek, Muhammet
    Premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED) are common male sexual dysfunctions. This study compared anthropometric measurements and skinfold thickness (SFT) between individuals with PE and ED to examine associations with regional fat distribution. A total of 90 men aged 20–50 years participated and were divided into three groups: ED (n = 29), PE (n = 28), and control (n = 33). Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. SFT was measured at seven anatomical sites: triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and chest. SFT values in the triceps, biceps, suprailiac, subscapular, and thigh were significantly higher in both ED and PE groups than in controls (p < 0.05). The PE group showed significantly greater abdominal SFT than both the ED and control groups (p < 0.05). Although chest measurements did not differ significantly, this region showed the most consistent correlations across groups. Overall, individuals with ED and PE exhibited higher regional fat accumulation than healthy controls, with abdominal fat being particularly elevated in PE. These findings highlight the potential role of regional fat, particularly abdominal fat, in the clinical evaluation of sexual dysfunctions. SFT-based assessments may serve as practical tools for identifying and managing PE and ED. © 2026 The Author(s).

    Comparison of the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and trigger point dry needling in the treatment of Calcaneal Epin- A randomized trial
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Arpaci, Muhammed Furkan; Dogru, Feyzi; Deniz, Mine Argali; Cicek, Ipek Balikci; Baykara, Rabia Aydogan; Erdem, Cumali; Tas, Ferhat
    Background: Dry needling (DN) and Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) are common in calcaneal epin treatment. Objective The aim of the study was to compare the effects of both treatments on proprioception, balance, pain, and functional status. Methods: 90 patients which consist of 45 patients as DN + self stretching and 45 patients as ESWT + self stretching. Patients in each group were treated 1 session per week for 4 weeks. Assessments of 15 degrees ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion proprioception, one leg standing test (OLST), foot function index (FFI), visual analog scale (VAS) (first step, resting, activity), quality of life scale (SF-36) were performed. The outcomes were recorded at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 4 weeks after the post-treatment. Results: Statistically significant differences were determined in VAS (resting, first step, activity) and FFI values in both treatment methods (p < 0.05). In OLST, SF-36, and FFI evaluations, DN was statistically more effective than the ESWT method (p < 0.001). In the 15 degrees proprioception evaluations, a significant difference was observed in the patient's ankle in both methods, while the DN method is more effective in the indicated stages of evaluation. Conclusions: Both methods applied to epin calcanei patients were effective, but the DN method is a more effective treatment method than the ESWT method in terms of balance, proprioception, foot function, and quality of life.

    Investigating the Impact of Body Composition Analysis on Quality of Life and Anxiety-Depression in Adult Males with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
    (Mdpi, 2025) Kurtoglu, Ahmet; Eken, Ozgur; Ciftci, Rukiye; Cicek, Ipek Balikci; Durmaz, Dilber; Deniz, Mine Argali; Aldhahi, Monira I.
    Background/Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disorder characterized by systemic manifestations, including altered body composition, reduced quality of life, and psychological distress. Despite its significance, the relationship between body composition parameters and symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, and depression in patients with COPD remains underexplored. This study aimed to examine the association between detailed body composition metrics and quality of life, fatigue, and anxiety and depression symptoms in male patients with COPD compared to healthy controls. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 49 men with COPD and 51 age-matched healthy controls aged 50-80 years. Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Pulmonary function, dyspnea, activities of daily living, and psychological status were evaluated using spirometry, the Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, the London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale (LCADL), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), respectively. Results: Compared to the controls, patients with COPD exhibited significantly lower forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1: 1.1 vs. 2.16 L; p < 0.001), lower fat mass (15.0 vs. 24.3 kg; p < 0.001), and higher muscle mass (53.8 vs. 42.0 kg; p < 0.001). They also reported significantly greater fatigue (Borg scale: 4 vs. 0; p < 0.001), higher anxiety (8 vs. 5; p = 0.006), and depression scores (11 vs. 5; p < 0.001), along with more pronounced limitations in their daily activities. Conclusions: COPD is associated with profound impairments in body composition, physical function, and mental health. Detailed body composition analysis using BIA provides valuable clinical insights and may aid in tailoring individualized interventions to improve quality of life and psychological outcomes in COPD management.
