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.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of QR code supported infant care training given to mothers of preterm newborns on maternal self-efficacy and maternal anxiety level .
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga on the stress of mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems, the mother-infant relationship, and the sleep and nutrition of the mother and the baby. 55 mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems were included in the study. Mothers were randomly divided into two groups: yoga (n=29) and control group (n=26). Yoga training was applied to 29 mothers in the study group via video conferencing, 2 days a week, 1 hour a day for 8 weeks, while the mothers in the control group were given second evaluations 8 weeks after the first evaluation, without any intervention. Mothers were evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) for stress levels, with Parent-Child Containing Function Scale for the mother-infant relationship, with the Infancy and Early Childhood Feeding Process Mother'sAttitudes Scale for their attitudes towards the feeding process of their babies, and with Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) for their own nutrition attitudes, with Pittsburg Sleep Quality (PSQI) for sleep quality and babies with Infancy Period Adaptive Eating Behavior Scale for feeding problems, with Brief Infant/Child Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) for sleep problems.
Currently, F-18 FDG PET/CT is routinely used for breast cancer staging and treatment response assessment. Most breast cancers express Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PR) and this subtype shows lower activity on FDG imaging. 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT is an effective imaging option for somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive neuroendocrine tumors. There are case reports showing 68Ga DOTATATE uptake in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, meningioma, breast cancer, thyroid adenoma and papillary carcinoma. There are also histochemical studies showing that SSTR is a potential radiopharmaceutical target for ER+/PR+ breast cancer . Its hypothesized that 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT may be superior to 18F FDG PET/CT primarily in hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer. In this study, its aimed to compare the uptake pattern of breast cancer lesions and HR status with 68Ga DOTATATE and 18F FDG uptake in lesions.
The World Health Organization 2016 bladder tumor classification reported that the diagnosis of variant histology has increased from 6% to 33% in the last 2 decades, and there is an increasing interest in investigating the effects on disease management, treatment options, and survival outcomes in bladder tumors with variant histology. In bladder tumors, variant histology is known to be more aggressive and has a worse prognosis than pure urothelial cancer, and most cases are muscle invasive at diagnosis. Neoadjuvant cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy is known to improves overall survival in patients with urothelial cancers. However, it is unclear whether patients with non-pure urothelial cancer (variant) histology will also benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The investigators aimed to evaluate the role of Neoadjuvant cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy in the final treatment plan and its impact on survival in patients with bladder cancer who were diagnosed with variant histology in the radical cystectomy specimen.
We aimed to investigate visceral adiposity index (VAI) in patients with different phenotype of policystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to compare healthy controls.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Mulligan mobilization technique (MMT) on pain intensity, joint position sense (JPS), kinesiophobia, and disability level in individuals with nonspecific neck pain. A total of 34 female individuals with nonspecific neck pain were included in the study. Pain intensity, JPS, kinesiophobia, and disability levels of all participants were evaluated before and after the 3-week intervention. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group, the participants received MMT by the physiotherapist twice a week for 3 weeks, and self-mobilization techniques as a home exercise program. The second group was trained only self-mobilization techniques.
Following and implementing innovations and current developments in care practices for children diagnosed with leukemia and their parents will allow the quality of care to increase. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of web-based education given to parents of children diagnosed with leukemia on their knowledge level, satisfaction and self-efficacy. The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental research type. The research will be conducted in a single center, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital MH4 Children's Hospital Hematology-Oncology Clinics and Leukemia Polyclinic. The population of the research consists of parents of children diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2-18 who are followed and treated in the specified places. The sample of the research consists of 72 participants, 36 in the experimental group (the group that received web-supported training) and 36 in the control group (the group that continued routine treatment). The consent of the parents who meet the research criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the study will be obtained with the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" and the parents in both the experimental group and the control group will be given the "Child and Parent Introductory Information Form", "Child with Leukemia Parent Information Level Pre-Test Evaluation Form". ", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will be applied. Once the sufficient number is reached, web-based training will be provided to the parents in the experimental group. "Parents of Children with Leukemia Knowledge Level Post-Test Evaluation Form", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Web-Based Parents of Children with Leukemia Training Satisfaction Evaluation Form" will be applied to the parents who complete the training. No intervention will be made to the parents in the control group, and the children will continue their routine care and treatment process. The "Child with Leukemia Parent Knowledge Level Posttest Evaluation Form" and the "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will also be applied to the parents in the control group.
Introduction: The aim of this study comparing the post operative pain after the retreatment of asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth that during single visit treatment with rotary and reciprocal nickel titanium files. Methods: One hundred and forty one patients scheduled for non-surgical endodontic retreatment were included for evaluation. Eighty five patients who needed endodontic retreatment were assingned to 2 groups according to semptomatic or asemptomatic teeth and 4 subgroups with rotary and resiprocal files. Endodontic filling material was removed with One Flare and MicroMega REMOVER files in the retreatment kit. Patients then recorded their postoperative pain on a VAS scale at 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days post-treatment. Results were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni and Pearson Chi-square tests.
It is an experimental study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cold application to the LI4 point of the hand to reduce/eliminate pain, nausea and anxiety in postoperative patients. The population of the study consisted of 116 individuals who underwent abdominal surgery with the open surgery method in a state hospital between February 2022 and November 2022 and were followed up in the inpatient ward. The study was completed with 80 individuals constituting the experimental group (n=40) and the control group (n=40). Patient information form, Mcgill Melzack short pain form, Visual Analog Scale, STAI - TX and Cold Application Evaluation Form were used to collect data. Patients in the experimental group underwent cold application with ice cubes for a total of 20 minutes as 2 minutes of cold application and 15 seconds of waiting 4-6 hours after the patient was admitted to the clinic after surgical intervention. Follow-up was performed before cold application, immediately after cold application, 30 minutes after the end of cold application, 1 hour and 2 hours after the end of cold application.
