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.
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the effect of brochure-based and video-assisted information given before spirometry on patient compliance will be evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Before the test, subjects in the intervention groups will be shown a brochure explaining the steps of the spirometry protocol and a video prepared for the same purpose. Standard routine information will be given to the control group by the technician before spirometry. RESULTS: 450 patients will be included in the study. It will be investigated whether there is a difference in terms of test compliance between compliance status and age, gender, smoking status, presence of lung disease, spirometry indication, having spirometry for the first time and those receiving brochure, video and brochure-video information. Multivariate analyzes will be performed among the parameters found to be significant.
126 individuals with peri-implant disease and health, aged between 18-70 years, who applied to Bolu University Faculty of Dentistry Periodontology Clinic, participated in the study.The inclusion criteria for patient participation in the study were: age of patients between 18 and 70 years; the presence of at least 20 natural teeth in the oral cavity; systemic health. Peri-implant status was determined by the clinician (T.Ş.) by evaluating dental implants' plaque, gingival index, bleeding on probing, pocket depth measurements, and clinical attachment level. In addition, them systemic illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding status, medication, antibiotic use, and whether they smoked were questioned. Systemically unhealthy patients who did not use antibiotics within a month, were breastfeeding or pregnant, had uncontrolled diabetes, rheumatic fever, a history of lung and kidney disorders, and used drugs that could affect periodontal tissues were not included in the study. After examination, the patients were divided into three groups according to their disease: Peri-implantitis (42 patients), peri-implantitis (42 patients), and peri-implant health (42 patients). Demographic characteristics (age, weight, gender, height, education, and employment status) of the participants were collected with a questionnaire. With this survey, fermented foods and probiotic products such as bacon, soy sauce, pickles, sourdough bread, whole grain, rye, wholemeal bread, ayran, kefir, turnip, vinegar (homemade), pomegranate syrup (homemade), probiotic beverage, the frequency and amount of consumption of cheese, dark chocolate, tablets, capsules, chassis, butter and other (Kimchi, sauerkrauth, miso soup, fermented herring, kombucha, etc.) were determined. It was requested to determine the relationship between the health and disease of the implant and the frequency of consumption of fermented and probiotic products and foods in individuals with implants.
The use of regional anaesthesia techniques as part of multimodal analgesia in hip surgeries improves postoperative analgesia. PENG (Pericapsular nerve group) block is an effective motor sparing analgesia technique used in hip surgeries. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of PENG block in terms of analgesic requirements and pain density in patients undergoing hip surgery, using two different concentrations of local anaesthetic.
Intravenous (iv) cannulation is one of the most common practices performed by anesthesiologists in and outside the operating room. Vascular access is required before any anesthetic procedure. Venous cannulation is a moderately painful procedure and is uncomfortable for patients, and the pain of intravenous cannulation can increase the patient's stress. Various methods are used to reduce cannulation pain. N. Vagus stimulation is among these methods (1). In this study, we aim to evaluate vascular access pain by stimulating the Nervus Vagus with the cold application method to the neck region of our patients who applied venous cannulation from the back of the hand before anesthesia.
In stroke patients, the shoulder-upper extremity complex is affected and reduces independence and quality in activities of daily living. Investigating the relationship between the functions of the upper extremity muscles and viscoelastic properties is important in understanding the rehabilitation of individuals with stroke.
The aim of this study is to investigate the early changes in macular thickness, corneal thickness and intraocular pressure in young women undergoing surgical menopause. Methods: Eye findings of 30 surgical menopausal (Postoperative 3-6 months) and 48 natural menopause and 22 healty women (control) were evaluated using OCT. Women with no known eye disease, no chronic disease (Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiac Disease any Autoimmune disease) and no migraine in addition to non smokers were included in the study. Women using any hormone and obese women ( BMI >25 kg/m2) were excluded. Macular and corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured in both eyes of the women
Introduction: Pain relief in diabetic neuropathy is one of the main goals of treatment. Foot reflexology and foot bath, which are two of the important applications of holistic approaches, reduce pain and can significantly increase the quality of life. Objective: In the current study, it was aimed to examine the effects of foot reflexology and foot bath applied to diabetic individuals with neuropathic pain on pain and quality of life. Method: In this randomized controlled study, the sample was randomized into three groups: (I) Foot reflexology (n: 30), (II) Foot bath (n: 30), and (III) Control (n: 30). The "Patient Information Form", "DN4 Pain Questionnaire", "Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life questionnaire (NePIQoL)", and "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" were used to collect research data. In the study, a protective sensory examination was also performed with the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) Test and the Vibration Test (128 Hz diapason). Apart from these, foot care training was given to all patients included in the practice groups as the role of the diabetes nurse, based on the diabetic foot care training prepared by the Turkish Diabetes Association.
The primary objective of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in participants who receive sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy versus participants who receive pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy.
This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis in patients with a clinical prediagnosis of adhesive capsulitis (AC) and inferior glenohumeral capsuloligamentous complex (IGHCC) involvement demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Type 2 diabetes patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Patients in the control group received regular nursing care, while those in the experimental group received MI, which is empowered by game-based mobile technology. Pre-test, post-test and follow-up test self-management, quality of life and satisfaction levels scores were determined.
