Our aim is to determine the effectiveness of dual-task upper extremity training compared to single-task training.
In the literature, studies about urinary symptoms after radical prostatectomy (RP) are generally focused on urinary incontinence (UI), and studies about sexual symptoms are focused on erectile dysfunction (ED). In the management of these symptoms, the effects of pharmacological agents (duloxetine/antimuscarinics and PDE5-I) and/or local approaches (pelvic floor muscle training-PFMT, vacuum erection devices) have been emphasized. In these studies, the results are contradictory and the level of evidence is low. The effects of aerobic and resistance exercise training on urinary, sexual and general health after RP have not been revealed from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the additional effects of aerobic and resistance exercise trainings to pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy in a randomized controlled design. The study will include volunteers aged 40 years and older (Mini Mental test score of 24 and above for individuals aged 65 years and older) with symptoms of UI and/or ED after RP. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to 2 separate groups. Subjects in the research group will receive patient education, PFMT, and aerobic and resistance exercise trainings; subjects in the control group will receive only patient education and PFMT. The study period is 12 weeks. Individuals will be evaluated at 2 separate time periods, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 12th week.
Skin injury due to the use of medical adhesives is a common but under recognized complication in children. To prevent central venous catheter-related complications, care interventions should be planned in such a way that they do not lead to medical adhesive-related skin injury. Systematic administration of preventive care interventions is needed to reduce skin injuries associated with medical adhesive used for central venous catheter fixation. The SECURE Care Bundle has been developed by researchers based on the latest evidence to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries associated with central venous catheter fixation in children. The SECURE Care Bundle is a systematic approach to care that includes checking the skin, assessing risk factors, correctly applying and removing medical adhesives and registering medical adhesive related skin injury. The goal of this randomized controlled trial study is to evaluate about SECURE care bundle in preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation in children. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Is the SECURE Care Bundle effective in reducing the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries due to central venous catheter fixation? 2. Does the SECURE Care Bundle have an effect on the first central venous catheter dressing change time? Data will collect after the parents of the children who meet the case selection criteria will inform about the research, their oral and written consents will be obtained through the "Informed Consent Form". Researchers will compare the SECURE Care Bundle group to the standard care group to see medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation.
In our study, patients who are intubated using VLM and Fastrack LMA for intubation purposes will be included. The placement times, intubation times, and the number of failed attempts for both devices will be recorded. Additionally, postoperative complications (sore throat, hoarseness, nausea-vomiting, additional antiemetic medication requirements, etc.) will be monitored and recorded.
The aim of this study was to establish reference values for three compartments of the abdominal skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle area, paraspinal muscle area, and total skeletal muscle area) obtained from cross-sectional Computed tomography images in Turkish Children
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of audio book and musical-moving toy on fear, anxiety and pain in tracheostomy care of children in palliative clinic.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the trunk and spine, which can significantly worsen during advanced growth stages. While scoliotic deformities have various causes, approximately 80-90% of all scoliosis cases have an unknown origin and are referred to as idiopathic scoliosis. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common subtype of idiopathic scoliosis. The primary treatments for AIS include physiotherapy, bracing, and spinal surgery. Several scoliosis-specific exercise programs exist as part of physiotherapy interventions to treat scoliosis, with core stabilization being one of the methods aimed at maintaining spinal alignment. Virtual reality is an interactive, three-dimensional simulation model created by computers that provides participants with a sense of reality and enables mutual communication. Virtual reality offers a method to create stimulating and engaging environments, using task-oriented techniques to leverage individual interests and motivation. One of the most significant advantages observed in all forms of virtual rehabilitation is its ability to promote interactivity and patient motivation. In the literature, virtual reality applications have been used in healthcare to facilitate recovery, post-illness rehabilitation, and enhance performance in athletes. However, there is limited research on the application of virtual reality therapy for scoliosis patients. One study mentioned the use of two scoliosis-specific exercises through video-assisted games, but the limited exercise repertoire resulted in no significant differences. Other video-assisted studies have suggested that exercises targeting posture, balance, and walking can be utilized for scoliosis patients. Therefore, our study aims to apply core stabilization exercises to scoliosis patients using virtual reality applications and investigate their effects on patient improvement. While studies examining the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises on body awareness in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are limited, it has been reported that the basic body awareness therapy is effective in terms of pain, body image, quality of life, and functionality. Our study aims to contribute to the literature by utilizing the therapeutic effects of both basic body awareness and virtual reality-supported exercises. The research will be conducted at Ruhi Tingiz Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital, affiliated with Amasya University Training and Research Hospital. Participants diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will be randomly assigned to four groups for the study. All participants' curvature severity and rotation angle, trunk flexibility, trunk normal joint range of motion, spinal pain, Cosmetic Defect Assessment-Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS)), Quality of Life Assessment-"Scoliosis Research Society-22" (SRS-22), and Children's Depression Scale (ÇDÖ) will be evaluated before and after treatment.
The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
