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.
Hemodynamic changes during induction of anesthesia may have adverse outcomes and should therefore be avoided. The decrease in blood pressure during induction of anesthesia with propofol is due to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance or cardiac output and may be increased by the concomitant use of other drugs such as remifentanil. Target controlled infusion (TCI) system aims to reach the theoretically targeted blood or brain concentration of anesthetic agents based on the patient's age, weight, and height, with computer-assisted algorithms. In manual anesthesia induction, anesthetic agents are administered at a fixed dose and rate adjusted according to the patient's weight, which may cause hypotension in patients with low cardiovascular performance. As target-controlled infusion (TCI) obviates the need to calculate the infusion rate manually, the use of TCI may provide a better hemodynamic profile during anesthesia induction This study was designed to test the hypothesis that propofol by TCI anesthesia induction is associated with a lower hypotension rate when compared with manual anesthesia induction
It is an experimental and randomized controlled study planned to evaluate the effect of sling-swinging position on the birth experience in vaginal delivery.
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the maternal and fetal effect of sugammadex in pregnant patients undergoing a non-obstetric surgery. The investigators mainly focused on the short- and long-term adverse effects such as an abortion or a teratogenic effect and that may occur in fetus and the adverse effects that may be seen in mother.
Hypothyroidism refers to the common pathological condition of thyroid hormone deficiency. The annual incidence of hypothyroidism is 3.5 per 1000 in women and 0.6 in per 1000 men. Hypothyroidism is seen 5-8 times more frequently in women than in men. Patients with hypothyroidism have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and often have metabolic syndrome features such as hypertension, increased waist circumference, and dyslipidemia. Other signs and symptoms include bradycardia, slow speech, swelling in the eyes and face, weight gain, decreased sweating, hair loss, pallor, forgetfulness, decreased concentration, depression, irritability, tongue growth, loss of appetite, palpitations, decreased hearing, menstrual irregularities, muscle pains, and cramps. Depending on all these signs and symptoms, hypothyroidism can negatively affect the quality of life of individuals. Therefore, it is essential to reduce symptoms and to improve patients' abilities to manage them. It is stated that the appropriate use of mobile health applications helps the patient to make informed decisions about health management and treatment. Therefore, this study plans to investigate the effect of mobile technology on symptom management in individuals with hypothyroidism, whose symptoms range from mild to severe.
With the change in lifestyle, most physical tasks are now performed by machines. As a result, sitting has become the most common learning posture and office posture, and cervical and lumbar spondylosis are becoming increasingly prevalent in younger people. One-third of life is devoted to sleep, and bad sleeping posture can place incorrect strain on the cervical and lumbar spine, resulting in irreversible and detrimental repercussions if not treated seriously. Sleep disorders have become an important public health concern because they can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. A pillow can give adequate support for the head and neck and assist sleepers in maintaining proper neck and thoracic curvature. Studies have demonstrated that a comfortable sleeping pillow helps relax the neck muscles, hence facilitating sleep, and efficiently alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and head. There is consensus among researchers that supporting the natural lordotic curve of the cervical spine is necessary to achieve longer periods of deep sleep. In addition, a pillow can improve sleep quality by cooling the head, lowering body temperature, reducing sweating or slowing the heart rate during sleep. However, the level of evidence to support these claims is so far limited. It has been claimed by pillow manufacturers that many design-related pillow parameters are effective in improving sleep quality and reducing neck pain. However, most of these recommendations are based on personal experience. This study recommends the most suitable pillow for people in forward head postures based on the body pressure distribution of the head, neck and upper body. The proposed pillows were evaluated in two parameters: comfort and support.
Aim: The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of distance education, which is given with a video prepared for the approach to the child with fever, on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of parents with children in the 0-5 age group. Method: This is a randomized controlled intervention study. The research was carried out in Eskişehir City Hospital Pediatric Emergency Service, between 8th April 2022 and 10th June 2022. The study was completed with 99 parents with children aged 0-5 years old who consulted to the pediatric emergency service with the complaint of fever. In the study, there are 2 groups in total: the intervention group (n=50) which videos of approaching the febrile child was watched once a week and 2 videos, and the control group (n=49) which no other application is made except for the routine procedure of the hospital. "Descriptive Information Form" and "Parental Fever Management Scale" were used to collect data. Data collection tools were applied to the parents before and after the application. IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package program was used to evaluate the data. A statistically significant p<0.05 value was accepted.
This Phase II study was designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and 3-parallel arm, to assess clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GN-037 versus clobetasol 17-propionate and placebo in patients diagnosed with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis at least 6 months ago
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the validity and reliability of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) scale in lower limb amputees. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The Turkish version of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised is valid for lower extremity amputees. - The Turkish version of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised is reliable for lower extremity amputees. Participants will: • Fill out general information, CIQ-R, TAPES, and ABIS forms.
Infection-related hyperammonemia in patients with urea cycle disorders is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The relationship between immune system cells and the metabolic pathways used by these cells and inborn errors of metabolism is still under investigation. Current studies are generally based on experiments in mice. The investigators' goal is to study specific T cell subsets to understand the effects of the urea cycle on T cells. The investigators collected blood samples from participants with lysinuric protein intolerance and urea cycle disorders for basic immunophenotyping, lymphocyte proliferation in response to phytohemagglutinin and CDmix, and cytokine analysis involving Th1, Th2, and Th17 and compared them with age-matched healthy controls. They also examined amino acid profiles in sera and supernatants before and after stimulation with PMA-ionomycin.
Open gastrectomy causes severe postoperative pain due to wide surgical incisions, retraction of the abdominal wall and direct manipulation of the visceral organs. It leads to delayed postoperative recovery, increased medical expenses and poor surgical outcomes. Epidural analgesia, intrathecal morphine and patient-controlled analgesia are frequently used in the postoperative pain management of abdominal surgeries. Intrathecal morphine is applied as a standard protocol in many centers due to its ease of application and effective pain control. However; it has undesirable effects such as postoperative nausea-vomiting, itching and most importantly respiratory depression. Regional interfascial plane blocks, such as erector spina plane block, have recently been popular in clinical practice to provide postoperative pain control. Erector spina plane block, when placed preoperatively, is expected to reduce opioid consumption and improve outcomes. The primary implication of this study is to compare postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption. It is also aimed to compare the effectiveness of Numeric Rating Scale and Clinically Aligned Pain Assessment Tool used in postoperative pain assesment.
