There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of opevesostat compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) and to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that opevesostat is superior with respect to OS and rPFS per PCWG Modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome(OHS) is characterized by daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing without other causes of hypoventilation in individuals with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. It is stated that obesity is at the basis of the metabolic changes seen in individuals diagnosed with OHS. Also sedentary lifestyle habits, which are common in obese individuals, cause the risk of sarcopenia due to loss of muscle strength and mass, accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, and decreased exercise capacity. Reduced exercise capacity due to obesity has been shown in the literature to strongly interact with mortality risk. As a result of obesity and all this negative picture, impaired emotional state and decreased quality of life are observed in individuals. Simultaneously, sleep parameters are also negatively affected. In particular, increased adipose tissue leads to loss of muscle mass and strength, increased risk of sarcopenia and sleep-related problems. The association of obesity and sarcopenia is referred to as 'sarcopenic obesity'. Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity. The concept of sarcopenic obesity has recently taken its place in the literature. In particular, there are very few studies on its relationship with sleep parameters. However, while obesity is the basis of OHS, there are no studies on the presence and effects of sarcopenic obesity in this patient group. Based on this point, we aim to investigate the effects of sarcopenic obesity on sleep parameters, exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with OHS.
The research to be conducted within the scope of the project will be randomized controlled, and the population of the research will be primiparous pregnant women reached through social media. Primiparous pregnant women in the 32nd - 40th weeks of pregnancy will be included in the study, and the sample size is determined by using the G*Power (3.1.9.2) program, considering a margin of error of 0.05 and data loss, with a power of 95% and a medium effect size; 27 people should be included in the experimental (baby massage) group and 27 people in the control group. In determining the groups, participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups using the "Randomizer.org" program. Pregnant women included in the research will be informed about the study and will be presented with an "Informed Consent Form" and "Voluntary Consent Form". Baby massage training will be given to the experimental group, and a reminder training will be given 2 weeks later. "Personal Information Form", "Prenatal Attachment Inventory" and "Beck Depression Inventory" will be applied to both groups at the beginning of the study, and postpartum 30-42 weeks. and 60-72. "Maternal Attachment Scale" and "Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale" will be administered between days.
The study was administered in a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the effects of material positioning and hand-face maneuver on physiological parameters and stress symptoms in preterm newborns with gestational weeks 28 to 32. The sample of the study consisted of 60 preterm infants who met the selection criteria in newborn intensive care unit between September 2018 and July 2020.The newborns in the control group (n=30) were given a "nesting with a rolled up blanket" position, as in the routine of the ward. The Experimental Group1 (n=30) was given positions using a "positioner" and the same newborns (Experimental2) was given positions using "positioner and hand-face maneuver" on the second day of the study.
Introduction: Kinesiophobia is a common symptom associated with high levels of disability and has also been observed in patients with headache. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and clinical factors in this population is unknown. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling, quality of life, and physical activity in children with headache. Methods: We included 127 children aged 6-18 years with headache complaints in our study. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) was used to assess kinesiophobia, the International Falls Efficacy Scale (IFSES) was used to assess fear of falling, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was used to measure physical activity, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (QOLS) was used to assess quality of life. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity.
Although it is not known exactly when and where circumcision was first performed, it is claimed that it was first performed by the Egyptians, according to various beliefs and traditions. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin surrounding the glans penis in pediatric male patients and is the most commonly performed surgery in boys (4). Because the foreskin is sensitive and the pain threshold is low, patients experience severe pain in the postoperative period. Various analgesic methods have been developed to reduce this pain. Sacral surgery has started to be used in adult patients in recent years, but there is not enough information about its application in pediatric patients. Sacral erector spinae plane block is on the agenda. While sacral erectör spinae plane block was first applied in gender reassignment and pilonidal sinus surgery in adults, it was also applied to a small extent in hypospadias and anoplasty surgery in pediatric patients. In some studies, circumcision surgery involves the root and distal parts of the penis. It has been emphasized that ring blocks applied with anesthesia also have an analgesic effect. Our aim in this study was to compare the effect of S-ESPB and ring block on postoperative Face, Legs, Movement, Crying, Avocative Behavioral Scale pain scores in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision surgery and to compare the number of patients who required rescue analgesia, the time until the first rescue analgesia, possible complications, and parental satisfaction (a Likert scale will be used). In this study, we found that sacral erectör spinae plane block is different from the ring block applied in routine practice in circumcision surgery. We think that postoperative analgesic effectiveness will be higher. Our aim in this study was to compare the effect of sacral erectör spinae plane block and ring block on postoperative Face, Legs, Movement, Crying, Avocative Behavioral Scale pain score in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision surgery and to compare the number of patients who required rescue analgesia secondarily, the time until the first rescue analgesia, possible complications and parental satisfaction (Likert scale will be used).
Aim of this study is to investigate and statistically reveal the prevalence and awareness of folic acid usage in pregnant women who have at least one of the risk factors for neural tube defects, to express the level of knowledge of the determined population on this subject and to present ideas to increase awareness in the society.
There are studies on the impact of quarantine measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals' social interactions and physical activities. We think that the adaptation of individuals who have had COVID-19 infection to return to social and physical activities after restrictions may affect participation in these activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term impact of COVID-19 restrictions on physical activity and social interaction in young adults, depending on whether they have had a COVID-19 infection.
The present study aimed to assess the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on serum and salivary chemerin, fetuin-A, IL-34 and IL-13 levels in periodontitis with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. 22 non-periodontitis, 22 non-periodontitis with DM, 22 Stage III/IV Grade C periodontitis, 22 tage III/IV Grade C periodontitis with well-controlled DM and 22 tage III/IV Grade C periodontitis with poorly-controlled DM patients were enrolled. At baseline, serum and saliva samples were collected, and the whole mouth clinical periodontal parameters were recorded from all subjects. Periodontitis patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy. Clinical parameters were re-measured, and samples were re-collected 1 and 3 months after therapy from periodontitis patients. Serum and salivary protein levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
Midwives' busy working environments, long working hours, worry of being sued, and encountering problems that may cause trauma can negatively affect their psychological resilience by increasing the stress level of midwives (Yalçın D., Bürün Bingöl F., 2023). Resilience in midwifery is a less researched topic (Sayıner F.D., Çömezoğlu E. et al., 2021). In studies investigating resilience in midwifery; Midwives' secondary traumatic stress total score was found to be high, while their resilience scale total score was found to be low. A negative, highly and statistically significant relationship was detected between the secondary traumatic stress scale and psychological resilience scale scores (r=-0.752; p=0.000) (Dağlı E., Topkara F.N., 2023). In another study, the factors affecting midwives' intention to change jobs or leave the profession were investigated. As a result; It was determined that almost half of the midwives intended to change jobs and/or quit midwifery within 5 years, and the most common reasons for the intention to change jobs/leave were family commitments, working conditions, role dissatisfaction, work-life balance and career change (Pugh J.D., 2013). So, it is recommended to develop programs to increase their quality of life and psychological resilience and to demonstrate their effectiveness through experimental studies (Sevin B., Partlak Gunüşen N., 2021). Hypotheses: H0. Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" does not change midwives' resilience scale scores. H1: Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" increases midwives' resilience scale scores.
