Postural control is an adaptive sensorimotor process involving continuous integration of sensory information from three channels. These; visual, somatosensory (proprioceptive) and vestibular senses. The study will be carried out at Istanbul Medipol University. 30 healthy individuals between the ages of 18-25 will be included. To each individual Anodal-supplementary motor area tDCS, Anodal-cerebellar tDCS, Sham tDCS applications will be cross-applied. tDCS application will take 20 minutes and each individual will receive 3 sessions in total. There will be a 72-hour rest period between sessions. Individuals assessed with Demographic Information Form for demographic information, Wii-Fit and Balance Error Scoring System for Static Balance Evaluation, Star Balance Test and Timed Get Up and Go Test for Dynamic Balance Assessment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation applied on the supplementary motor area and cerebellum on static and dynamic balance in healthy individuals.
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of peritendinous steroid injection under ultrasound guidance and percutaneous A1 pulley release procedures in terms of disease stage, pain, and severity of locking in patients with trigger finger.
One of the factors affecting human health is nutrition. The effects of foods on blood glucose are still under investigation. The Glycemic Index (GI), which is associated with many diseases today, is a value that measures the rate at which carbohydrate-containing foods raise blood glucose. It is thought that the loaves of bread produced will be a product with low GI value and can be consumed by celiacs and diabetics. It is aimed to investigate the effect of adding different amounts of hazelnut flour to bread recipes using gluten-free corn flour on blood glucose.
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is routinely recommended to treat and prevent pelvic floor symptoms in the postpartum period. However, due to the high cost, remoteness of the location, and responsibilities of the baby, women cannot participate in PFMT whenever and wherever they want. Telerehabilitation (TR) may be an effective method to facilitate women's access to PFMT. Therefore, our study aims to compare the short and medium-term effects of PFMT applied with the TR method on pelvic floor symptoms, symptom-related quality of life and pelvic floor muscle function with supervised PFMT. This randomized controlled study was conducted at Yeditepe University Hospital Bağdat Street Polyclinic Pelvic Floor Center and online synchronous platform on women aged 18-35 and between the 6th and 8th weeks postpartum. Participants were randomly assigned to the synchronized PFMT performed with the telerehabilitation method (TR-PFMT) group and the supervised PFMT (S-PFMT) group. The same PFMT program was carried out in both groups for 45-50 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks, by two physiotherapists specialized experienced in the pelvic floor. The program was carried out via a synchronous online platform (Skype™ program) in the TR-PFMT group, and as a face-to-face session in the S-PFMT group. Participants' pelvic floor symptoms were evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), symptom-related quality of life was evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7), and pelvic floor muscle function was evaluated with superficial electromyography. Evaluations were made 3 times in total: before the exercise program, after the exercise program and at the 8th week after the exercise program (6th month postpartum).
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intrathecal morphine and four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block applied for postoperative analgesia in gynecological cancer surgeries. The key question(s) it aims to answer are: [Is intrathecal morphine more effective in postoperative analgesia?] Patients who underwent gynecological cancer surgery were examined retrospectively. The investigators evaluated the effect of intrathecal morphine and four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block applied for postoperative analgesia on pain scores and postoperative opioid use.
Impacts of non-pharmacologic methods that help patients get prepared cognitively for processes of surgery and anesthesia on pediatric surgery patients' preoperational stress levels and anxiety levels had been examined in the scope of this comprehensive research project. In this project, a goal-oriented 8-9 minutes animation cartoon that is informative and educational had been developed, and pediatric surgery patients had been asked to watch this animation during preoperative period.
Nursing education is an education in which theory and practice are intertwined and requires the development of both cognitive and motor skills of students. The laboratory environment is a bridge between classroom learning and clinical practice. In order for students to transform the target behavior into a skill, it takes place in the laboratory on inanimate models under the supervision of the instructor. It has been assumed that there is a strong relationship between learning and anxiety; while a moderate level of anxiety is necessary for learning, a high level of anxiety causes a decrease in learning. Many studies have reported that students experience anxiety before their first clinical/practice experience. During skills training, it is observed that students are stressed, their hands are shaking, and they do not feel comfortable, especially before practices involving invasive interventions. This is a factor that makes learning skills training difficult. Therefore, it is important for the student to be comfortable, self-confident, and mentally open to learning during skill training. New applications and different techniques for skill training are important in this sense. It is reported that aromatherapy application has positive effects on reducing anxiety and increasing concentration. RESEARCH HYPOTHESES: H0: Aromatherapy has no effect on students' anxiety and learning levels during skill training. H1: Aromatherapy reduces the anxiety experienced by students during skills training. H2: Aromatherapy has a positive effect on students' learning nursing skills.
The aim of this clinical trial was to determine the effect of multiple sclerosis on speech reception and discrimination in noise and to compare the effects on the medial olivocochlear reflex, which is thought to affect speech intelligibility in noise, with a control group. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MS disease affect the ability to discriminate speech in noise? Does MS affect contralateral suppression results assessing medial olivocochlear function? Is there a correlation between the ability to discriminate speech in noise and contralateral suppression skills of MS patients? Data from MS patients and healthy participants will be compared. Thirty relapsing remitting MS patients and 30 healthy participants admitted to the clinic will be evaluated.
Introduction and Aim: Life after stroke begins a difficult period in which functional capacity is very limited. Disability persists for a long time, and various problems such as hemiparesis, hemiplegia, dysarthria, dysphagia, urinary and bowel incontinence, which are frequently encountered after stroke, can affect the quality of life in the long term. As non-pharmacological approaches, especially non-invasive methods, have gained attention, creative arts-based therapies have often been recommended for stroke survivors because they have an arts-based approach without side effects. It is thought that the study conducted will contribute to the literature as there are not many studies in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of art-based activities on stroke patients' hope and self-efficacy levels. Its sub-purpose is to reveal the feelings and thoughts that arise with art objects obtained from art-based activities applied to stroke patients. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomised controlled design. After the groups were determined, art-based activities module was applied to the intervention group for one week, while no additional intervention was made to the control group. Research data were collected using "Individual Introduction Form", "Herth Hope Index", "Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.0 package program. Written permission was obtained from the relevant ethics committee, hospital and participants to conduct the study.
