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 study was planned to examine the relationship between trunk position sense and muscle activation, balance and quality of life in individuals with transtibial amputation. Individuals with unilateral transtibial amputation who have been using prostheses for at least 1 year and volunteered to participate in the study, as well as healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics will be included in the study. The number of cases considered to be included in the study will be obtained from the statistical analysis of the results of the pilot study to be conducted with 5 individuals, since there is no study on the subject. The power of the study will be determined as 0.80. After determining the number of individuals to be included in the study group, a control group will be formed with the same number of healthy individuals. The study will be terminated when the determined total number of participants is reached. Body position sense, trunk muscle activation, static and dynamic balance performances and quality of life of all individuals will be evaluated. Body position sense of individuals with "Dualer IQ Pro Digital Inclinometer" device, trunk muscle activation with "Delsys Trigno IM wireless surface electromyography (sEMG) system", balance with "Bertec balance platform", balance and functional mobility with "Berg Balance Scale (BDI) ", "Timed Up and Go Test (SKYT)" and "Modified Star Excursion Test (SEBT)" and quality of life will be evaluated with "Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale (TAPES)". As a result of our study, investigators think that it will contribute to the current scientific knowledge about the somatosensory and biomechanical mechanisms underlying the abnormalities that occur in the trunk after transtibial amputation, to determine whether the trunk position sense of individuals with transtibial amputation is affected or not, and to determine the relationship between trunk position sense and muscle activation, balance and quality of life.
Preconceptional care is a very important preventive health service that gives couples the opportunity to prepare for a healthy pregnancy in a physically and psychologically healthy way, aims to identify and minimize the risks that may be present to the mother and fetus. Although preconceptional care is recommended for all couples of reproductive age, it is not at the desired level both in the world and in our country. In the literature, it is seen that the existing knowledge of individuals is insufficient, care is not provided for this period, and research revealing the knowledge and attitudes of individuals is very insufficient. It is thought that if the individuals in the society are informed about this issue and awareness is raised, the rate of benefiting from preconceptional care and counseling services will increase. One of the important components of preconceptional counseling is health education. Health education aims to increase the knowledge of individuals, to create awareness and thus to gain positive health behavior. The Health Promotion Model enables individuals to make behavioral changes to create a healthy lifestyle. Based on this, this research has been planned in order to determine the effect of web-based pregnancy preparation education structured according to the health improvement model in the preconceptional period on women's knowledge, attitudes and health behaviors.
Investigators will include in our study patients aged 60 and over who have been evaluated in the pre-anesthesia clinic for procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP, PEG, EUS, and ESD, and who have received sedation by an anesthesiologist. Patients will be assessed for frailty prior to the procedure; during and after the procedure, respiratory monitoring (SpO2, capnography) will be closely observed, and they will be contacted by phone three days later. Primary goal of the study is to prospectively investigate the incidence of peri-procedural complications (desaturation, bradycardia, hypotension, etc.) in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal procedural sedation, and to assess its relationship with detected frailty using the FRAIL scale.Secondary goals of the study are to identify risk factors for adverse events, examine the relationship of these factors with 'ASA score - age and frailty scale', and determine their impact on the incidence of adverse events. Additionally, investigators aim to research the effects of capnography-based respiratory monitoring on adverse events.
Purpose: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease defined by fibrovascular conjunctival growth extending onto the cornea. Its pathogenesis remains unclear. In severe cases, it may extend into the central cornea, inducing irregular corneal astigmatism and causing loss of vision. CD44( phagocytic glycoprotein-1 ) is involved in the organization of certain cellular processes, for instance, cell adhesion, division, and migration, by binding with its main ligand, hyaluronic acid. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a proliferation marker in the nucleus. E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a significant role in the protection of tissue integrity and cell-to-cell adhesion. This study aimed to determine the role of CD44, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and E-cadherin in pterygium formation and recurrence.
It is known that perioperative respiratory complications occur more often in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients during general anesthesia. Although there are prospective RCTs in this area, the need for further and larger studies remains due to the heterogenity of the results. Moreover, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in OSAS patients undergoing surgery in Turkey and the predictive factors affecting the respiratory adverse events are uncertain. Therefore, in this prospective observational cohort study, it was aimed to determine the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and the predictor factors associated with patient, anesthesia and surgery in surgical patients with a confirmed or highly suspected OSAS diagnosis undergoing general anesthesia.
1. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the length of ICU stay and a newly developed FIVE score in neuro-intensive care patients. 2. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the FIVE score on hospital length of stay, Modified Rankin Scale, and mortality, as well as to determine the correlation between the GCS, FOUR, and FIVE scores
The goal of this observational study is to define the role of apical shaping and irrigation activation on root canal cleanliness. The main questions it aims to answer are: - does the effectiveness of irrigation activation depends on apical shaping? - can a similar success be achieved by increasing apical shaping without irrigation activation Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items].
The aim of this study is to show how whole body vibration training practiced for 12 weeks affects the levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C reactive protein (CRP) and, interleukin-6 (IL-6), in Type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with and without peripheral neuropathy.
The goal of this clinical trials is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness for the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset or last seen normal. Subjects will undergo mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a clot in the brain which is preventing blood flow), with the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System. Participation in the trial is for 90 days.
Patients who will be anesthesia induced with propofol will be body analyzed with Tanita before the operation. Height, weight, age, gender and other general information of the patients will be recorded. Total body weight (TBW), ideal body weight (IBW) and lean body weight (LBW) will be calculated. Patients over 18 years of age who will be operated under general anesthesia for 2-6 hours will be included. Patients allergic to propofol or contraindicated to propofol will be excluded. In the study, in order to decide and test the most appropriate weight-based scale for the evaluation of propofol dosage for induction of anesthesia by identifying patients who need additional propofol during intubation, Ingrande et al. After monitoring, propofol infusion (100 mg/kg/hour) will be started according to total body weight and the infusion will be stopped when the BIS value is between 50 and 40 and the elapsed time will be recorded. Routine anesthesia applications will be performed by applying neuromuscular blocker. Total Propofol dose administered will be calculated according to the dose TBW, IBW and LBW in kilograms. The relationship between the doses administered and body mass index will be evaluated.
