Besides being an important nutritional source, fish is also important in economic terms. The toxic substances that are accumulated in fish due to marine pollution, reach to people by ingestion of the fish. These substances affect human health significantly. It is expected that the results of this research will assist in acquiring information about the level of toxic metals in the Sea of Marmara. This study aims to determine the levels of the heavy metals (lead, cadmium, manganese) in whiting which is widely consumed by fish species from Sea of Marmara. Fish samples were provided on a quarterly basis between March 2013 and December 2013 and were classified according to their sizes as small, medium, and large and the samples were dissolved using a wet digestion method, proposed in this work and the determination of metals was carried out by atomic absorbtion spectrometry (AAS) coupled with graphite furnace (for Pb, Cd and Mn) as atomization system and the results were evaluated statistically (1,2). In this study, for whiting fish the highest amount of lead was found as 2.2524 µg/kg on June, the highest amount of cadmium was found as 0.2633 µg/kg on September and the highest amount of manganese was found as 10.4494 µg/kg on June. With respect to the period for all sizes of observed whiting fish, lead, cadmium and manganese heavy metals levels were determined within the limit values (3). 1.Radjaei A.

PP-2 Investigation of The Efficacy of Kinesiologic Taping on Neck Pain Bahar Kavlak1*, Zübeyir Sarı1, Eren Timurtaş1, Yeşim Bakar2 1

Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Science, Marmara University, İstanbul, Turkey 2 Kemal Demir Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation School, Abant İzzet Baysal University, Bolu, Turkey * [email protected] Neck pain is a musculoskeletal problem that compromises the health and the quality of life of individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of KT on neck pain. Forty five patients were divided into two groups. While KT was applied additional to physiotherapy and exercise programme in the KT group (n=25, mean age=46.60±12.00), control group (n=20, mean age=51.45±12.57) just received only physiotherapy and exercise programme. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain levels and Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to assess the effects of pain on daily life. Range of motion (ROM) of cervical region was measured by goniometer and trigger points at suboccipital and upper trapezius were assessed by palpation on both sides. All the assessments were done just before the first session and repeated after the 15th session. There was a statically difference for VAS and NDI scores after the treatment at both groups (p0.05). There must be more methodologically well-designed randomize controlled trials for KT to point out it‟s effectiveness for literature.

Working in a fixed position and inappropriate postures for long periods of time lead to changes over time in the musculoskeletal systems of dentists and students. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of clinical pilates exercises on the prevention of musculoskeletal problems in dental students and to determine the influence on their ergonomic working positions. Twenty dental students (4th and 5th grade) were enrolled to the study. Musculoskeletal problems of participants were assessed with the Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire, pain levels with the Visuel Analog Scale (VAS), working positions with the Rapid Upper Limp Assesment (RULA), and physical activity levels with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ). Clinical pilates was performed under supervision of physiotherapists 2 days per week for 6 weeks. Assessments were repeated after 6 weeks. There was a statistical significant difference in participants‟ (with a mean age of 22.90 ± 1.07) RULA (p = 0,02), Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire (p = 0,01) and rest and night VAS (p = 0,02) scores, and there was no difference between VAS in activity and IPAQ scores (p>0.05). As a result of our study, clinical pilates exercises had a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system problems caused by long term static position and wrong posture of dental students. In order to minimize the negative effects of the professions on their posture, we assume that dental students will be able to perform their professions in right postures by clinical pilates trainings during their undergraduate training.

Abnormal movement of the scapula, termed scapular dyskinesis, is common among athletes who participate in overhead sports such as volleyball and handball (1). The association between scapular dyskinesis and shoulder pathology is uncertain whether it represents a cause or effect of the pathology. However, it is also present in many asymptomatic individuals (2). Physical fitness is very important both in preventing injuries and in determining the performance of the athlete. The aim of this study was to compare the physical fitness values of the professional volleyball and handball players in the control group which were not detected by scapular dyskinesis after evaluation. Professional voleybal and handball players with and without scapular dyskinesis, between the ages 18-40 took part in our study. Our study was conducted on a total of 74 professional athletes, 37 in each group. The presence of scapular dyskinesis was determined by Skapular Dyskinesis Test. Active and passive internal-external rotation mobility, endurance of the scapular muscles, upper extremity power, core muscular endurance and shoulder proprioception of the athletes were evaluated. From the evaluation done between the groups, passive shoulder internal and external and active shoulder external rotation values were significantly less in the group with scapular dyskinesis (p
