This study aims to determine the effect of counseling on quality of life and self-care agency for patients who are scheduled for TKR.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of internet-based cognitive therapy for severe health anxiety within regular psychiatric care. A longitudinal cohort study will be conducted investigating 400 patients who have received ICBT for severe health anxiety between 2018-2020 in an outpatient psychiatric clinic providing Internet-based treatment. The primary outcome measure will be the Short Health Anxiety Inventory, SHAI, and a within-group design with repeated measures will be used for primary analysis. It is hypothesized that ICBT will be associated with a significant reduction in health anxiety as measured with SHAI, both after treatment and at six-month follow-up.
Standard nursing care including, eye, mouth, nose, diaper change, skin care with baby oil and nurturing was applied respectively to the study groups for approximately 20 minutes. The baby was made listen to the lullaby recorded in the voice of parents starting with, during and after the care for 10 minutes. Heart rate, saturation, respiration rate and comfort behiavour scores of the newborn was measured 1 minutes before, during and 15 minutes after the care. The data was evaluated in SPSS 21.0 program with convenient statistical methods.İt is detected that heart rate, respiration rateand comfort behiavour scores of the newborns who listen to lullaby in the mother's voice are low compared to the newborns listening to lullaby in the father's voice and those in the control group .
The study aimed to retrospectively review cases of brain arteriovenous malformation that were surgical resected with the patient awake during the procedure.
This study retrospectively analyzed data of 14 cases of massive rotator cuff tears who were treated with arthroscopic repair by the same doctor from October 2015 to December 2017, aiming to explore the surgical methods and clinical effects of arthroscopic repair for massive rotator cuff tears.
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is the main factor that leads to the deterioration of the disease. Currently, the diagnosis of AECOPD mainly relies on clinical manifestations, and good predictors or biomarkers are lacking. This study aims to explain the gene expression changes related to the disease at the transcriptional level and validate it in multiple levels, reveal specific biomarkers and potential pathogenesis, to provide a research basis for the diagnosis and treatment of AECOPD.
This project will observe and follow up the changes of pulmonary function and CT in patients with smoking combined with pulmonary tuberculosis, and measure the ratio of Th1 cells, Th17 cells, macrophages and neutrophils and the secretion of factors such as TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 in pulmonary blood and alveolar lavage fluid.
The refeeding syndrome has been reported without any evidence of prolopnged semistarvation, thus being different from the traditional disease. The investigators wanted to investigate, if sodium infusions could be part of the explanation.
Background: Currently the dietary intake patterns of children do not meet the prescribed dietary guidelines. Consequently childhood obesity is one of the most serious health concerns. Therefore, innovative methods need to be developed and tested in order to effectively improve the dietary intake of children. Learning children how to cope with the overwhelming number of unhealthy food cues could be conducted effectively by serious health games. Objective: The main aim of this study was to examine the effect of a serious health computer game on young children's eating behavior and attitudes towards healthy and unhealthy foods. Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial with a between-subject design was conducted (N=157; 8-12 years), whereby children played a game that promoted a healthy lifestyle or were in the control condition. Children in the control condition attended regular classes and did not play a game. The game was designed in collaboration with researchers and pilot-tested before conducting the experiment among a group of children repeatedly. After one week of playing, attitudes towards food snacks and actual intake was assessed, whereby children could eat at libitum from fruits or energy-dense snacks.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biostimulating, analgesic and noninvasive high intensity laser therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Participants between the ages of 18-75 and without any cognitive, communication and psychiatric problems were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups and both received conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 3 weeks, 5 sessions a week. The treatment program applied was as followed; the control Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and study Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and High-intensity Laser Therapy (HILT). Upper extremity range of motion was evaluated with 'goniometer', pain threshold with 'algometer, muscle strength with 'myometer'; disability status with 'The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)'.
