This research is a two-phase observational study assessing awareness, current practices, barriers, and policy suggestions related to sustainability in urology. The study involves collecting survey data from a broad participant group and conducting a Delphi consensus with experts …

Motor problems and cognitive deficits affecting walking and balance are frequently observed in individuals with MS. As a result of problems occurring in the motor and sensory systems, walking becomes less automatic and greater use is made of cognitive capacity. In addition to def…

Many factors influence eating choices among humans (mood, taste, convenience, time of day, etc.). Finding simple ways to decrease food intake or improve food choices could improve weight status and overall health of the general population. The purpose of this study is to see if c…
