Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) represents a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, causing complications that surpass those posed by most routine obstetric issues. As such, early detection and proper management of PAS can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes. This study provides an in-depth examination of the serum levels of Galectin-3, a β-galactoside-binding protein, in women experiencing Placenta Accreta Spectrum compared to those with normal pregnancies.
Context: Studies have shown that the thrower's ten rehabilitation program is effective in the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries in overhead throwing sports. However its effect on water polo sports is still unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of thrower's ten (T10) exercise program on shoulder flexibility, stability and strength in water polo athletes. Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: Middle East Technical University swimming pool and training facilities. Intervention(s): T10 group were given thrower's ten exercises 3 times per week for 10 weeks, each exercise being 2x10 repetitions. Athletes in the control group were not given any additional exercise to their weekly water polo training. Main Outcome Measure(s): Before and after the exercise, the upper extremity internal and external rotation strength of the athletes was measured with isokinetic dynamometer, the shoulder stability was measured with the closed kinetic chain upper extremity test (CKCUEST), and the shoulder flexibility was measured with the help of the shoulder joint internal and external rotation motion flexibility test. Key Words: Thrower's Ten, Water Polo, Stability, Flexibility, Strength
The patients who will participate in the study will be determined and informed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the patients who signed the informed consent form will be included in the study.52 patients who will undergo elective thoracotomy surgery will be divided into double-blinded 2 sided as preemptive and postoperative erector spina plane block. Intraoperative pain status of the patients will be determined by the "Nociception Level Index" device and analgesia will be provided with fentanyl. The primary aim of the study is to compare the intraoperative opioid consumption of two groups with plan block at different times. In the postoperative period, patient-controlled analgesia device will be given to both groups for rescue analgesia. The opioid consumption of the patients will be controlled in this way in the postoperative period and their pain status will be determined. The secondary aim of the study is to examine the effect of plan block application time on the postoperative period.
The goal of this [type of study: The study, which was carried out within the framework of mixed method, is a research using an explanatory sequential design, and its quantitative dimension is a randomized controlled experimental design] is to [The aim of this study is to determine the effect of breastfeeding support given to mothers with inadequate milk perception through telehealth application on mothers' giving only breast milk to their babies for the first six months] in [consisting of primiparous mothers, mothers who had normal vaginal deliveries and mothers with perceived inadequate milk, healthy term babies]. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - [What are the experiences of mothers with insufficient milk perception about the breastfeeding support given to their babies with telehealth application and their mothers' experiences about giving only breast milk to their babies for the first six months? ] - [What is the satisfaction status of mothers with insufficient milk perception towards the breastfeeding support provided by telehealth application? ] Hypotheses of the Study - [H0: Breastfeeding support provided to mothers with insufficient milk perception through telehealth application has no effect on the mother's exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months. ] - [H1: Breastfeeding support provided to mothers with insufficient milk perception through telehealth application has an effect on the mother's exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.] - [H2: There is a difference between the mean breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding cessation tendency scale scores of the mothers in the control group and the intervention group with insufficient milk perception.] - [H3: Mothers have a high level of satisfaction with the breastfeeding support provided by telehealth application.] Intervention Group: The Inadequate Milk Perception Scale was applied to determine the mothers who thought that their milk was inadequate by face-to-face interview method before discharge from the hospital after delivery. Mothers with low scale scores were assigned to the control group in the first set and to the intervention group in the second set with the help of Research Randomiser (https://www.randomizer.org/). Then, Personal Information Form-1, Tendency to Discontinue Breastfeeding Scale, and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale were applied to the mothers. After discharge, training videos on the importance of breast milk and breastfeeding and written documents (e-brochure, prose version of breastfeeding trainings) prepared in line with the literature and explained by experts in accordance with the puerperium week between 10.00-14.00 hours were sent to the mothers individually with telehealth application once a week. At the same time intervals, visualised messages explaining breastfeeding and that breast milk is sufficient for the baby were sent via telehealth application five days a week. In addition, if the mothers requested at 10.00-17.00 on weekdays, they were given live support by the researcher for the issues they were curious about breastfeeding by calling the researcher via telehealth application. The mothers in the intervention group were called via telehealth application between the 2nd-5th postpartum days, 13th-17th days, 38th-40th days, 2nd-3rd months, 4th-5th months and at the end of the 6th month and the relevant forms were applied again (at the time period convenient for the mother). Control Group: The Inadequate Milk Perception Scale was administered to the mothers to determine the mothers who thought that their milk was inadequate by face-to-face interview method before discharge from the hospital after delivery. Then, Personal Information Form-1, Tendency to Discontinue Breastfeeding Scale and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale were applied to the mothers. The mothers determined as the control group were called by the researcher via telehealth application between the 2nd-5th postpartum days, 13th-17th days, 38th-40th days, 2nd-3rd months, 4th-5th months and at the end of the 6th month by telehealth application and the relevant forms were applied again (at the time period convenient for the mother). No intervention was made to the mothers in the control group, and the woman benefited from routine outpatient clinic services if she requested.
The purpose of this study was to investigated effectiveness of temporamandibular joint and soft tissue mobilization on patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
It was planned to determine the most effective single and/or combined use in daily use by evaluating the effect on pain control and functional status by combining the posterior capsuler infiltration (PCI) and interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee(IPACK block) performed during total knee replacement surgery with the adductor canal block method. In the randomized controlled study: Group 1; By determining the anatomical landmarks to be applied by the intraoperative surgeon, PCI + Adductor canal block (ACB) without any additional imaging, Group 2; IPACK+ACB applied by the anesthesiologist with the help of post-operative USG, In Group 3, there are 3 groups in which only ACB application is made. VAS values and opioid consumption of the groups will be recorded as the primary outcome after the surgery. As a secondary outcome, the 1st day rehabilitation initiation times and endurance of the patients With 1.2. and on Day 3 joint ranges of motion will be recorded.
The aim of this study is to investigate the sonographic differences in entheses in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis and Axial Spondyloarthropathy.
The aim of the study is to examine the head and neck paraganglioma cases treated in Pamukkale University hospital between 2007-2023 and improve our understanding of these cases and contribute to the knowledge surrounding head and neck paragangliomas.
RME orthosis is recommended for the treatment of trigger finger. However, its efficacy has not been studied in trigger finger patients. Given the increasing popularity of this orthosis among clinicians, it is important to evaluate their effectiveness to provide evidence for its use in trigger finger. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a 6-week orthotic intervention in a randomly selected group of patients with trigger finger using MCP-blocking and RME orthoses.
Although the incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery is high, it is not sufficiently recognized. The long-term effects of delirium are likely to be underestimated. In this study, the investigators aimed to examine the relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter and postoperative delirium in open hearth surgery.
