The current preoperative fasting guidelines recommend, applying preoperative carbohydrate solution 2 hours before the operation to minimize prolonged fasting time potential negative effects and improve patient comfort. Fasting after midnight before the operation day is a widespread practice. The major obstacle to preoperative carbohydrate solutions becoming prevalent and extremely long fasting time is the limited product; which is proven safe and efficient, and unavailable in several countries. In this study, our objective is to analyze the gastric volume, preoperative anxiety, stress response, postoperative insulin resistance, and postoperative nausea and vomiting by utilizing a low osmolality oral carbohydrate solution prepared with ginger and melissa.
The collection of hazelnuts grown in our country provides a great source of employment for local people and seasonal workers. However, geographical conditions in hazelnut growing areas, challenging variable weather conditions in August and insufficient number of workers create a disadvantageous environment for seasonal workers. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of working conditions on mental status, fatigue, pain severity and postures (posture disorders, developmental delays, etc.) of young adults working in Giresun during the hazelnut picking season in comparison with the group living in the same sociodemographic and cultural environment but not working as seasonal workers.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of magnetic field application used in the treatment of patellofemoral pain.
The Lower Quadrant Y-Balance Test (LQYBT) is a landmark test used in assessing lower extremity performance, determining risk factors for injury, and making return-to-sport decisions. Studies have shown that the individual's focus of attention affects balance. The literature, has shown that the use of external focus is more effective than the use of internal focus in the execution of a movement.Consistent with these findings, the use of an external focus instruction during the LQYBT may lead to achieve more realistic and a higher performance outcome than the test result with standard instructions. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using different instructions and focusing techniques on test performance on the LQYBT. The secondary aim was to investigate the reliability of the different instructions and focus tests we used for the LQYBT. Hypothesis of the study that test performance can be further enhanced by differentiating the instructions and focus techniques. A more effective assessment of individual performance may help us to make a more realistic decision to return to sport.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of steel underwire lumbosacral orthosis adapted to the individual by the prosthetist orthotist on pain, comfort, plantar pressure, static and dynamic balance in individuals with low back pain.
This study investigates the impact of earthquake trauma on compassion fatigue among nurses working in emergency services following the devastating earthquakes on 6 February 2023, in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. These earthquakes, with magnitudes of approximately 7.7 and 7.6, affected 11 provinces and resulted in over 50,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries, placing emergency service nurses at the forefront of dealing with the aftermath and trauma. The concept of compassion fatigue, characterised by a reduced capacity for empathy after repeated exposure to traumatic events, is a significant concern for nurses who have been directly involved in the care of earthquake victims. This study aims to explore the extent of earthquake trauma and compassion fatigue among these nurses, examining the relationship between these two conditions and their long-term effects. Given the limited research on post-traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue among emergency service nurses, this study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the psychological impacts of disaster response on healthcare professionals. The hypotheses tested aim to better understand the risks and psychological burdens faced by nurses in the wake of such natural disasters.
The aim was to examine the validity and reliability of the Social Frailty Index in Turkish among older adults. 65 years and above older adults will be included included in the study. Older adults who agree to participate in the study will first be administered the Hodkinson Mental Test. Those who score 6 points and above will be included in the study. To evaluate the validity of the "Social Frailty Index", Social Inclusion Scale, Older people's quality of life-brief (OPQOL-brief) and Lubben Social Network Scale will be applied to the participants. To determine the reliability of the "Social Frailty Index", older adults who do not receive any treatment will be tested and re-tested at one-week intervals.
Chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are with in high-risk patients in coronary arterial diseases and increasing number of coronary angiography and coronary interventional procedures have been performed in these population. As well as the risk factors have been identified by many studies preventive measures are lacking. In our study we found that SGLT2 inhibitors are beneficial in terms of reducing contrast media induced acute kidney injury in both diabetic and CKD patients.This is one of the leading studies in the literature pointing that SGLT2 inhibitors may have a potentially beneficial role in reducing or preventing the development of PC-AKI.
