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 the study is to measure the validity and reliability of the StUD test in patients with TKA. Forty-seven patients with primary TKA included in this study. The test-retest reliability of the StUD test was measured with 1-hour interval. Validity was assessed that the 30s Chair Stand Test (30sCS), the Hospital for Special Surgery score (HSS) and Short Form-12 Quality Life Questionnaire (SF-12) were used as comparator instruments.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about different head position's effect on occlusal contacts during digital interocclusal record. The main question aims to answer is: • Are different head positions in physiological limits can be affected the occlusal contact during interocclusal record? Participants will be asked to stand in three different physiological head positions (neutral, forward and backward) which are common in daily routine. In these positions, after maxillary and mandibular arch scans three different interocclusal records will be taken. Also for assessment of these records in digital occlusal analysis module (oJMA, zebras), three different oJMA record will be taken. Researchers will compare neutral, forward and backward head positions to see if there are any difference in number, density and location of occlusal contacts.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pregnancy on salivary pH, flow rate, caries experience and periodontal status. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pregnancy affect caries experience and periodontal status? - Does pregnancy affect salivary pH and flow rate? - Is there a difference between pregnant and non-pregnant woman with respect to caries experience, periodontal status, salivary pH and flow rate? - Is there a difference among first, second and third trimester with respect to caries experience, periodontal status, salivary pH and flow rate?
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors affecting frailty in patients with coronary artery bypass graft. The main question it aims to answer are: What are the prevalence of and factors affecting frailty in patients with coronary artery bypass graft Type of study: descriptive cross-sectional study Participant population: coronary artery bypass grafting patients
Functional independence is the ability of a person to perform daily life activities safely without any restriction, as much as possible. The functional independence depends on physical, social, cognitive and psychological abilities of the person. Therefore, full functional independence requires the harmony of all these parameters. Dysphagia can be seen in more than 50% of neurological patients, and it is called neurogenic dysphagia. Muscle weakness, tonus changes, sensory loss and coordination problems occur in these patients. Pain and fatigue are also frequently observe. These patients have problems with fine and gross motor movements, and thereby mobility and transfer activities become difficult. Life-threatening complications such as pulmonary problems, malnutrition and dehydration accompany when patients have dysphagia. Both neurological and dysphagia-related problems negatively affect the physical, psychological, emotional and cognitive functions of patients. Neurological patients with dysphagia may have more serious clinical situations due to more affected vital functions such as pulmonary functions and feeding. Dysphagia-induced malnutrition adversely affects many systems, including the musculoskeletal system. In a study conducted in the elderly with dysphagia, atrophy in the total muscle mass and swallowing muscles, and increase in intramuscular adipose tissue were reported as a result of malnutrition. Decreases in the muscle mass may negatively affect the functional independence of patients with dysphagia. Other studies in geriatric population have shown that swallowing function is associated with hand grip strength and quadriceps muscle strength, which are indicators of functional independence in activities of daily living (ADL). These studies also suggest that dysphagia may be associated with functional independence in geriatric group. Therefore, functional independence may also reduce in patients with neurogenic dysphagia. However, there is no study investigating the relationship between dysphagia severity and the functional independence levels in patients with neurological diseases. Therefore, the investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between dysphagia severity and functional independence level in patients with neurological diseases.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of articaine or lidocaine in buccal infiltration or palatal infiltration in addition to buccal infiltration in maxillary first or second molars with irreversible pulpitis. Method: Among the patients who applied to Akdeniz University Faculty of Dentistry Endodontic Clinic for the treatment of maxillary molars with irreversible pulpitis, 80 volunteers who met the criteria were included in the study. Eighty patients were divided into 4 groups (n = 20). 1. group buccal infiltration with 4% articaine containing 1:100,000 epinephrine, 2. group buccal infiltration with 2% lidocaine containing 80,000 epinephrine, 3. group buccal and palatinal infiltration with 4% articaine containing 1:100,000 epinephrine, 4.group buccal and palatinal infiltration with 2% lidocaine containing 80.000 epinephrine. Pain during the endodontic procedure was determined and recorded according to the Heft Parker visual analog scale.
This study aimed to check and compare how well shock wave therapy works for tennis elbow, both in terms of symptoms and what we can see on ultrasound.
We aimed to investigate serum uric acid levels in patients with different phenotype of policystic ovary syndrome and to compare healthy controls.
The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare the effectiveness of subcostal transversus abdominis plane block or rectus sheath block applied in addition to posterior transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in major gynecological cancer surgeries. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: [Is subcostal transversus abdominis plane block more effective in postoperative analgesia? ] [Is there a difference in pain scores at 24 hours after surgery? ] Since pain scores within the first 24 hours after surgery will be evaluated, participants will be asked to give a value between 0 and 10 at certain time periods.
Crew Resource Management is a training system that aims to use all available resources effectively and increase safety by improving technical knowledge and skills as well as non-technical skills in risky tasks such as CPR. In safe critical patient management, the healthcare team should have interpersonal skills such as communication, stress management, teamwork, and leadership, cognitive skills such as situational awareness, task completion, planning, monitoring the situation, and rapid response to critical incidents, in addition to technical skills. To improve outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest, many systems have been developed for performance measurement and quality improvement initiatives of the healthcare team. However, studies are needed to evaluate the effects of these systems. This study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-supported pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation training based on team resource management on knowledge, attitude, and performance of the healthcare team in the pediatric intensive care unit.
