To evaluate the efficacy and safety of UTD1 in patients with advanced breast cancer.
When the other usage areas of the manual lymphatic drainage technique in the literature, except for the treatment of lymphedema, were examined recently, it was seen that it was also applied in orthopedic and neurological cases in a limited number of studies. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage on clinical and electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome
The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of the use of masks during effort on dyspnea and fatigue with hemodynamic parameters.
This study was designed to evaluate fecal calprotectin levels in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Fecal calprotectin levels from fibromyalgia patients with and without gastrointestinal symptoms as well as healthy controls will be measured and compared.
Autogenous bone, with its osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteo-conductive characteristics has been used for bone grafts with optimal integration into host tissues. For this reason, autogenous bone has been often considered the gold standard of bone regeneration material. However, the amount of autogenous bone that may be harvested is limited, and the harvesting procedure is traumatic. Bone substitutes, including allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts have been used successfully as alternatives to autogenous bone grafts in ridge augmentation procedures. In 2008, autogenous tooth bone graft (ATG) was introduced and used for the first time as a bone grafting material for GBR. The tooth contents are extremely similar to that of the alveolar bone. The enamel inorganic, organic, and water contents are 95 percent, 0.6 percent, and 4 percent, respectively. However, in the dentin, the percentages are 70 to 75 percent, 20 percent, and 10 percent, respectively. They are 65 percent, 25 percent, and 10 percent, respectively, when compared to the alveolar bone content. The aim of this study is to compare ridge augmentation using autogenous bone block (ABB) with immediate implant placement and filling the generated gap with autogenous bone graft (ABG) or ATG, or ridge augmentation using xenograft bone block (XBB) with immediate implant placement and filling the generated gap with ATG.
The study will be conducted on individuals with Metabolic Syndrome. There are many studies showing that aerobic exercise provides significant improvements in waist circumference, fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Triglyceride (TG), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP-DBP), and cardiorespiratory fitness on METS parameters. However, although the beneficial effects of physical activity are known, only half of the population adheres to the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week recommendation. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a type of training that uses near-maximal intensities in short-term sessions. HIIT has been used to improve compliance because it requires less time to treat patients with cardiometabolic disease. Compared to continuous aerobic exercise, this type of training has been shown to be an effective alternative for improving maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), blood pressure, heart function, glucose and lipid metabolism, and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. In the literature, HIIT has been studied in patients with METS and has been shown to be effective. In addition, a study showed that seven-day respiratory muscle training was also effective on METS parameters, but there is no study showing the long-term effects of respiratory muscle training in this patient group. Therefore, in our study, researchers aimed to show the effects of respiratory muscle training given with HIIT on METS parameters.
In the study, it is aimed to reduce the infertility stress level of women undergoing infertility treatment, to increase the level of coping with infertility stress, to increase infertility self-efficacy, to evaluate the usability of web-based education in the field of infertility, to increase the effectiveness and quality of education by integrating web-based education into the nursing care process, and continuous traceability, to prevention of possible wrong treatment process management in the field of infertility, to prevention of possible loss of cycles and to prevention the material and moral couple from being adversely affected by this process. Method: The study was planned to be carried out between 20.01.2022 and 01.06.2023 with women between the ages of 23-39 who applied to Düzce University Health Practice and Research Center, Infertility Polyclinic. In the research, the Solomon four-group design sample design consisting of two experimental and two control groups will be used. The study planned to consist of a total of 132 patients, 33 patients in each group, taking into account possible data losses. By design, all of the pre-test and post-test measurement tools will be applied to the first experimental and control group, and only the post-test measurement tools will be applied to the second experimental and control group. Randomization will be applied in determining the experimental and control groups. The data will be collected using Personal Information Form (Appendix-1), Infertility Stress Scale (ISS) (Appendix 2), Coping with the Infertility Stress Scale (CISS) (Appendix-3), and Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale - Short Form (ISE-SF) (Appendix 4). Research data will be collected in approximately day 24 to 27 days for each patient from the initiation of Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) treatment to pregnancy determination of patients planned for intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. Web-based training is 60 minutes in total, including 4 modules. The web-based training content includes general information about fertility, infertility diagnosis-treatment methods, drugs used in IUI treatment and its application, and issues to be considered after IUI.
This study aimed to enroll 2000 neonatal patients with suspected sepsis or clinical diagnosed sepsis. These patients will undergo both conventional methods and metagenomics sequencing to detect the pathogenic microorganisms of sepsis. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical value of metagenomics sequencing for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal sepsis.
Microsporidia are pathogenic fungi mainly responsible for profuse watery diarrhea, requiring management in immunocompromised patients. The main immunocompromised population affected by these infections consists of solid organ transplant recipients (SOT), mainly kidney (~70% of cases in immunocompromised patients). In this population, the infection is severe, and becomes chronic in the absence of appropriate care, the species Enterocytozoon bieneusi being found in more than 95% of these cases. Reducing immunosuppression (adjustment of immunosuppressive therapy) can sometimes be enough to eliminate the pathogen. However, in some cases, specific treatment is necessary. The only molecule whose efficacy has been proven to date to treat infections caused by E. bieneusi is fumagillin (FLISINT®), however its production has been stopped for almost 2 years. Due to the therapeutic impasse, the use of nitazoxanide (ALINIA®) to treat E. bieneusi microsporidiosis is becoming common, despite the lack of proof of its efficacy. It seems important and urgent to evaluate the relevance of the use of nitazoxanide, particularly in SOT, for the treatment of intestinal microsporidiosis due to E. bieneusi.
