The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the 6-minute pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) in patients with systemic sclerosis. The main question it aims to answer is:
- Is 6PBRT a valid and reliable method to assess upper extremity functional capacity in patients with systemic sclerosis? Participants will repeat the 6PBRT 2 times 1 hour apart. In addition, respiratory muscle strength (MIP-MEP), upper extremity muscle strength (hand dynanometer and hand-held dynanometer), muscle oxygen saturation (Moxy Monitor Device) will be evaluated.

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the success of different whitening agents in whitening teeth in healthy volunteers aged 18-50. Also, patients' tooth sensitivity will be assessed after application. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is the teeth whitening success of different whitening agents similar? Did participants develop tooth sensitivity to whitening agents? The researchers will compare the whitening success of 3 different whitening agents and changes in tooth sensitivity within 1 year after application.
Participants:
Whitening agent will be applied in the clinic Visit our clinic for checkups and records after 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months , 6 months and 1 year after application

Scientists hypothesize that directly or parentally injecting Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to affected areas will have a positive impact through reducing or abolishing intestinal inflammation in part via inhibition of neutrophil Myeloperoxidase (MPOx) activity. Inhibiting MPOx should modify disease progression as well as reduce colitis associated cancer risk.
