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.
Obesity is an increasing global public health issue. In general, tea consumption have been shown to offer benefit to obese patients. However, the potential of white tea (WT) to treat and protect from the adverse effects of obesity have not been addressed so far. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy and impact WT consumption highest in catechins on levels of anthropometric and biochemical values in obese patients.
In this study, a two-part recursive convolutional neural networks model was developed, extracting features for each epoch window independently from before and after sleep onset (epoch encoder), and then trained in the context of long-term relationships in the sleep process (sequence encoder), using an approach similar to human expert classification based on information from single-channel forehead EEG and PPG (IR, Green, Red). The classification is based on guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and calculated six parameters: total sleep duration (TST), wake (W), N1, N2, N3, and REM. The validation study of the developed model and the device was conducted at the Sleep Disorders Centre of the Istanbul Medical Faculty using concurrent polysomnographic data from 305 male and female patients aged 18 to 65 years.
Controlled ventilation is applied to patients intubated for general anesthesia. Additionally, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and pressure support are mechanical ventilation modes that have been used in general anesthesia practice for many years. When the recovery-extubation phase is reached, intermittent bag-mask ventilation is usually used and the patient is allowed to breathe spontaneously and is extubated when an adequate respiratory level is reached. It has been shown in previous studies that the use of intermittent mask ventilation causes postoperative atelectasis. Different methods have been used to prevent postoperative atelectasis. In our study, we aimed to observe the effect of terminating general anesthesia at the end of the operation and using PEEP and pressure-supported ventilation during the extubation phase on early complications.
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of radial and focused ESWT treatment on pain, function, and size of the calcaneal spur in patients with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of epin calcanei. Methods: A total of 112 patients aged between 18 and 95 years were randomly divided into two groups: group 1 received rESWT (2.4 bar 12 hz 2000 beats), and group 2 received fESWT (0.14 bar 14 hz 1000 beats) three times a week for three weeks. All patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)-pain and Foot Function Index (FFI) before and after the treatment, at 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Epin size was measured radiographically in the patients before and after the treatment at the 12-week follow-up.
Epicardial fat thickness, carotid intima-media thickness, and augmentation index from arterial stiffness indicators are increased in children with T1DM compared to the healthy control group. These results support the idea that children with T1DM present significant changes in important subclinical indicators for the development of cardiovascular disease.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between healing response after non-surgical periodontal treatment and baseline gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß).
Children's motor skills and physical performance increase with age due to the development of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory systems. Sensory impairment seen in children with hearing loss can cause balance and coordination disorders, as well as decreased muscle strength and respiratory functions. Anatomically, core stabilization is provided by the diaphragm, abdominal, hip, pelvic floor, and gluteal muscles. Training for these muscles is intended to improve strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control. This training can help to improve the control of intra-abdominal pressure, intersegmental control of the spine, and muscular control of trunk movement. It also helps in strengthening the respiratory muscles, especially the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm. In this study, the effects of core stabilization training on children with hearing impairments' thoracic mobility, functional ability, and trunk muscle endurance will be examined.
The investigators aimed to evaluate long-term sarcopenia in patients with total and distal gastrectomy by measuring the anterior thigh muscle with USG, which is a more specific and easy method.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on sexual satisfaction and functioning of women and their partners in women with low sexual satisfaction. Method: The single-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted between April 2023 and January 2024. The sample of the study was women with low sexual satisfaction and their partners were randomized into two groups as intervention and control. Each group consisted of 120 couples, n=60. The women in the intervention group were given progressive muscle relaxation techniques three times a week for four weeks. The results of the study focused on the effect on sexual satisfaction and functioning of men and women.
The main purpose of our prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study is to investigate the effect of keeping endotracheal tube cuff pressures within a certain range on the incidence of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness and cough.The secondary aims of our study are to evaluate the effect of intubation duration, smoking, presence of chest disease, presence of blood on the intubation tube after extubation, presence of NG\OG, and type of surgery on the incidence of sore throat, hoarseness, and cough.The patients were randomly divided into two: a study group with continuous cuff pressure monitoring and a control group without continuous cuff pressure monitoring.The endotracheal cuff pressure of the patients in both groups was measured by a blinded researcher using a cuff manometer after intubation, before extubation, and in long cases, at the 3rd hour after intubation.Patients were evaluated for sore throat, cough, and hoarseness at the 2nd and 24th hours by another researcher blinded to the study groups.
