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.
Access to the vascular access is difficult in obese patients. Therefore, vascular access can be challenging and worrying for obese individuals. This strain causes pain and anxiety. Different interventions can be applied to reduce the pain and anxiety felt. One of them is the methods of distraction. Among these methods, chewing gum and using a stress ball can contribute positively to the pain and anxiety at the entrance to the vein in order to draw blood in obese individuals. In addition, these interventions may affect vital parameters. It was aimed to evaluate the effects of chewing gum and using a stress ball during vascular access in obese individuals on pain level, anxiety level and vital signs
This study was conducted to examine the effects of different discharge training methods on readiness to discharge and self-efficacy in individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Patients over the age of 65 who underwent elective surgery for a hip fracture and were sedated during spinal anesthesia were included in the study. Patients who were given ketamine and dexmedetomidine for sedation were included in the study. The Mini Mental Status Tests of the patients measured on the first and third days of the operation in the preoperative period were determined from the hospital records and recorded.
In this study, the effects of regional anesthesia method applied in patients who will undergo percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for lower extremity revascularization will be investigated comparatively.
In cases diagnosed as idiopathic polyhydramnios and healthy pregnancy between 24-40 weeks (total number of cases (100-120)), prospective fetal echocardiography will be performed to evaluate MPI and EFT.
The study was planned as a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of breastfeeding behavior development training using Video and Simulator, given to mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit and who are staying in the mother's guesthouse. As soon as the mothers who are separated from their babies and who have breastfeeding barriers come together with their babies and the breastfeeding barrier is lifted, to enable them to start breastfeeding effectively the effectiveness of the training, which will be given by applying 2 different methods based on the IMB (Knowledge, Motivation, Behavioral Skills) model will be evaluated. The aim of the training is to develop breastfeeding behavior in mothers and to ensure a secure attachment between mother and baby. (The research will be conducted in a randomized controlled trial model with a pretest-posttest control group.)
Although treatment is started with surgery in early stage tumors depending on the molecular subtype, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the initial treatment in locally advanced tumors or if axillary lymph node involvement is present. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has been used for a very long time in the traditional approach to the treatment of breast cancer. The current approach in patients with early stage, clinically negative breast cancer of the axilla is sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). SLNB is done to evaluate the axilla in both early stage tumors and suitable patients after NAC. According to ACOSOG Z1071, when at least 3 lymph nodes were removed using lymphoscintigraphy and blue dye for SLNB, the false-negative rate was found to be less than 10% in patients with proven axillary involvement, and SLNB was shown to be feasible after NAC. Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is a procedure that includes SLND with removal of the lymph node identified and marked as containing metastatic disease before treatment. Multiple clinical studies have shown that TAD is a viable option to reduce false-negativeness in patients with breast cancer after NAC. In patients with axillary involvement, a metallic clip is placed in the suspected lymph node prior to neoadjuvant therapy and a radioactive iodine-125 seed is implanted into the target after completion of chemotherapy, and during TAD, the core node is removed using a radioactive probe. Today, the applicability of these procedures is difficult due to both the cost and the absence of nuclear medicine units in some hospitals. For this reason, alternative methods that can be applied more easily in the evaluation of the axilla after NAC are being investigated. SPOT ENDOSCOPIC MARKER is an FDA (American Food and Drug Administration) approved Carbon Black Tattoo paint that has been used for a long time to mark lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Its shelf life is 20 months. In our project, in patients with lymph node involvement in the axilla who have had a metallic clip placed with biopsy before NAC, the lymph node will be marked with a Spot Endoscopic Marker simultaneously, and the permanence of the spot marker dye will be evaluated by excising the clip-marked and black-painted lymph node in addition to the methylen blue injected during the operation. The reliability of the use of Spot Endoscopic Marker, which is much cheaper instead of clips, for permanent axillary marking in TAD will be evaluated.
Kidney diseases represent a global public health problem due to the aging of the population, the increasing prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, obesity and immune disorders. TNF-superfamily ligands are heterotrimeric transmembrane proteins with a molecular structure characterized by the presence of a TNF homology domain that binds to cysteine-rich regions of specific TNF-superfamily receptors. The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily consists of ligands and receptors that modulate adaptive immunity regulation, hematopoiesis, morphogenesis, as well as different disease states, including cancer and diabetes. DcR3 is found increased in a variety of cancer cells and various inflammatory tissues and is considered a potential biomarker to predict inflammatory disease progression and cancer metastasis. While increasing DcR3 expression may be possible to treat inflammatory diseases and enhance tissue repair, decreasing DcR3 expression may increase tumor apoptosis and suppress tumor growth in vivo. The study will be carried out with the prospective examination of patients without anuria and who developed Acute Kidney Injury or on the basis of Acute Kidney Disease on Chronic Kidney Disease. Sixty patients and 30 age- and gender matched control healthy individuals that accept enrollment in the study will be followed up by the Nephrology Department in Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine for 2 years. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood and urine DcR 3 levels on the effects of renal and patient prognosis in patients with Acute Kidney Injury as a predictor or an auxiliary test in prediction.
Adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy are performed for many reasons such as recurrent tonsil and adenoid infections, sleep apnea, symptomatic adenotonsillar hypertrophy, halitosis, peritonsillar abscess, and it is one of the most performed surgeries in the world. Passive blood loss from the surgical field into the gastric area may occur during the surgery. Investigators wonder whether the amount of blood and fluid accumulated in the stomach after tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy in children will increase the risk of aspiration. For this purpose, the aim is to compare the results with values considered risky for aspiration by evaluating the pre- and postoperative gastric volume with ultrasound in children who underwent elective adenoidectomy and /or tonsillectomy.
