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.
Aim: This randomized controlled trial study aimed to evaluate the effect of SMS use on compliance with postoperative breathing and coughing exercises and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer surgery. Material and methods: In the study, 62 patients who underwent lobectomy in a university hospital's thoracic surgery clinic between 01.02.2022 and 03.04.2023. The intervention group was chosen to be the group that received SMS messages.
A prospective randomised controlled experimental study was planned to compare the effects of pressure sore dressing using topical haemoglobin and traditional gauze dressing using saline on the healing process and cost of pressure sores in patients with pressure sores.
Hyaluronan is an extracellular matrix protein that is involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Hyaluronan performs this activity through hyaladherins, which are intracellular and extracellular receptors. The purpose of this study was to compare the distributions of Hyaluronan Synthetase 2 (HAS2) and CD44s in healthy endometrial tissue samples obtained during the proliferative phase endometrium (PPE) and secretory phase endometrium (SPE), as well as pathologic samples diagnosed with benign endometrial hyperplasia (EH), endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), early stage of endometrial carcinoma (EC) (stage I/II) and advanced stage of endometrial carcinoma (stage III/IV) (n:5, each). By using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method, tissue samples that had been fixed with formalin passed through a regular paraffin follow-up protocol, and subsequently embedded in paraffin were stained indirectly with anti-CD44s and anti-HAS2 primary antibodies. Immunostaining intensity was graded as 0: negative, 1: weak, 2: moderate, 3: strong, and 4: very strong using a semiquantitative technique. The ANOVA test was used to assess the statistical significance of the findings. Statistical significance was defined as (p) values less than 0.05. While weak HAS2 and weak/moderate CD44s immunoreactivity was observed on the surface epithelium (SE)/glandular epithelium (GE) and stroma of the tissue samples acquired during PPE; weak/moderate HAS2 and moderate CD44s immunoreactivity were observed in SPE and EH groups; moderate/strong HAS2, strong CD44s immunoreactivity was observed in EIN; strong/very strong HAS2 and very strong CD44s immunoreactivity were observed in early-stage EC and advanced stage EC. It was determined that the immunoreactivity intensity increased at a statistically significant level in both early and advanced stage EC. The fact that HAS2 and CD44s, two intracellular receptors, have increased in endometrial carcinoma leads us to believe that they are likely to play a role in tumor development, invasion, migration, metastasis and that they may be useful in developing future treatment protocols targeting hyaluronan receptors.
investigators aimed to evaluate the relationship between Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) and Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) and disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthropathy (SpA).
While previous studies focused on the motor system in the analysis of postural functions, recently many researchers have determined that the sensory-cognitive-motor network system is required to determine the correctness of an action. , stroke individuals, Alzheimer's patients, Parkinson's disease, individuals with multiple sclerosis were discussed. In line with these studies, we can say that posture is handled with cognitive skills in people whose physical performance has decreased. However, the relationship between cognitive skills and posture in individuals with high physical performance has been ignored. Understanding posture and cognitive mechanisms is important both for physiotherapists who deal with posture from the neurophysiological aspect and for those who work in the field of psychology who deal with cognitive skills with its psychosocial aspect. The aim of the study is to reveal the relationship between posture and cognitive skills evaluated using the Stroop Test in healthy athletes in early adolescence.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to learn about whether exercise alters microRNA expression levels in 30 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 30 healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does exercise affect microRNA expression levels related to the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis? - Are microRNA levels correlated with disease activity? Participants was applied program consisting of strengthening and stretching exercises 2 days a week for 8 weeks. One day a week, 30 minutes of mild moderate walking was requested. Researchers will compare rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy controls to see if that the microRNA expression levels of patients with rheumatoid arthritis as a result of exercise training would not make a significant difference with healthy controls.
This study is a single-blind, randomized controlled, prospective clinical trial. At least 62 older adults aged 65 and over were included in the study. Evaluations were made twice, before starting the study and after completion. Otago Exercise Program based on telerehabilitation was applied to the intervention group for a total of 21 sessions, 7 days a week for 3 weeks. The control group did not participate in any exercise program during the study period; however, it was reported that they could be included in the Otago Exercise Program at the end of the study.
Nephrectomy pain was higher. erector spina plan block and transversus abdominis plan block had shown to be effective in abdominal surgeries. This study aimed to compare these two bloc analgesic efficacy in laparoscopic nephrectomy patients. The primary aim is postoperative morphine consumption.
Diverse viewpoints exist regarding the correlation between the conventional rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and facemask approach and the alternative RME and facemask hybrid technique (Alt-RAMEC) in terms of the degree of maxillary protraction. The findings of the study may offer a novel approach to protocol selection based on the anomaly's degree of severity. The objective of this investigation is to assess and contrast the skeletal and dentoalveolar outcomes of three distinct Alt-RAMEC techniques.
The purpose of study aims to determine which of the three different oxygenation strategies, including nasal cannula, modified nasopharyngeal cannula, and HFNO groups, is safer in patients undergoing bronchoscopy under sedation.
