    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.

    Investigation of the protective effect of Lavandula stoechas against the damage caused by Bisphenol A in the liver tissue of rats

    The present study aims to explore the hepatoprotective potential of Lavandula stoechas (LS) against Bisphenol A (BPA)-induced liver toxicity. In this experiment, 32 male rats were utilized and categorized into control, LS, BPA, and BPA + LS groups for the study. Each group received 50 mg/kg of the respective substance. Throughout the 28-day experiment, the control group did not receive any applications. The LS oil was administered intraperitoneally, while BPA was given through oral gavage. At the end of the experiment, rats were anesthetized, and blood was taken from the heart. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TB) values were measured from serum samples. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) measurements were performed in liver tissue. The histological structure was observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining methods. The BPA group showed higher AST levels compared to the control group, but the BPA + LS group exhibited a significant decrease in AST levels compared to the BPA group. Additionally, TB levels were lower in the BPA + LS group compared to the BPA group. MDA levels increased in BPA-treated groups compared to others. The LS-treated groups showed higher SOD levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, an evident increase was noted in the BPA + LS group in comparison to the BPA group. The BPA group exhibited a significant rise in OSI value compared to the control. It was concluded that LS has a protective impact against BPA-induced liver toxicity. The LS-treated groups showed higher SOD levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, a significant increase was noted in the BPA + LS group in comparison to the BPA group. The BPA group exhibited a significant rise in OSI value compared to the control. It was concluded that LS has a protective impact against BPAinduced liver toxicity.
