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 systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) is defined as "neutrophil count × monocytes/lymphocyte counts". It has been reported that SIRI can predict survival in various types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer , gallbladder cancer , oral squamous cell carcinoma , and cervical cancer. Again, SIRI can demonstrate disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), It has been reported that it can predict the development of RA-related interstitial lung disease and tumor development . Ankylosing spondylitis management strategies should be aimed at controlling disease activity, improving spinal mobility and functional status . Treatment usually includes the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and stiffness, and the use of disease-modifying drugs to try to stop or prevent disease progression. Patients are also advised to exercise to maintain the mobility of the spine and peripheral joints . Studies on this subject reveal that exercise is as important as drug therapy in the treatment of AS . Again, the importance of exercise in AS was emphasized in the clinical guidelines for the treatment of AS by ASAS (The Assesment in Ankylosing Spondylitis : Working Group) and EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) . In addition to the effects of exercise on muscle strength, joint limitations, physical performance, endurance capacity and quality of life, its anti-inflammatory effects are also known. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise therapy on disease activity in AS patients with systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and systemic inflammation index (SII). There is not enough evidence in the literature that systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and systemic inflammation index (SII) can be used in the evaluation of disease activity in AS.
In this study, which aims to evaluate the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), it is planned to investigate the relationship between the respiratory parameters obtained and the severity, type, location of the curvature, rotation angle and wearing brace. The population of the study consists of individuals with AIS, and the sample consists of individuals with AIS followed in the Goztepe Prof. Dr. Suleyman Yalcin City Hospital, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic. For this purpose, it was planned to include at least 60 individuals with AIS, aged 10 years and older, with at least 20 degrees of scoliotic curvature, who applied to the clinic for the first time or came for control. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) will be applied to evaluate the respiratory functions of the participants involved, and intraoral pressure measurement (MIP, MEP) will be applied to evaluate the inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths; The severity of the scoliotic curvature will be measured with the Cobb method on the same day's radiograph, and the axial rotation angle will be measured with the Scoliometer. IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 24 statistical program will be used in the analysis of the data. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation, qualitative variables as numbers and percentages. Pearson Correlation analysis will be used for the relationship between the variables, Independent Samples t-test will be used for the comparison of independent groups, and statistical significance will be taken as p≤0.05 in all measurements. It is thought that this planned study will contribute to studies evaluating the respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength of individuals with AIS, which have been designed in different types and reported different results in the literature. Evidence-based data obtained by determining the clinical parameters associated with these values are expected to guide clinicians in terms of being holistic in the treatment of individuals with scoliosis, and in which situations and for what purpose pulmonary rehabilitation approaches should be included.
The study aims to investigate the efficacy of group-based exercises using virtual reality on activities of daily living in elderly population.
Background Fasting for 6 hours is required for the patients regarding the preparation of the operation and preparation for anesthesia. It is already known that this fasting period affects volume. Although Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Movement (TAPSE) is an echocardiographic parameter showing Right Ventricular (RV) systolic function, its relationship with volume is discussed in recent years. In the present study, the relationship between TAPSE and volume, and whether there is a change in preoperative fasting and right ventricular functions will be evaluated. Methods The study was started between 21.11.2022 and 21.05.2023 in Aydın Maternity and Child Hospital after approval was received from the Non-Invasive Clinical Research Ethics Committee. A total of 21 patients were planned to be included in this prospective observational study. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed in patients aged 18-65 years who will undergo elective procedures under anesthesia, and in full patients the day before surgery. Those who are pregnant, patients with known or prospective severe valvular disease, severe pulmonary hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and non-sinus rhythm will be excluded from the study. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed on the patients, and the relationship between TAPSE and volume and whether there is a change in preoperative fasting and right ventricular functions will be evaluated.
In this research; the investigators would like to compare the results of patients with Parkinson's disease in the two groups who received classical physical therapy and rehabilitation program and virtual reality assisted walking and balance exercise at the beginning (1st rehabilitation day =1. day) and end of rehabilitation (21st rehabilitation day=50.day). In addition, the investigators aimed to reveal the change of gait and balance parameters by measuring the C-mill walking and balance rehabilitation device with numerical data and graphic analysis.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the effects of the education given to nursing students with web 2.0 tools on students' participation, attitude, interest and motivation levels. The research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study population consisted of 150 students between October 2022 and January 2023, and the sample of the research consisted of 110 individuals selected from the population using the improbable random sampling method. "Descriptive Feature Form," "Teaching Material Motivation Scale," "Course Interest Scale", Attitude Scale Towards Learning and ''absence charts'' were used to collect data. In the analysis of data; percentile distribution, chi-square, Fisher- Exact test, t-test in independent groups, paired samples t Test were used.
Complications will be evaluated by waiting 30 seconds after firing 30 seconds during stapler compression while performing sleeve gastrectomy.
This study evaluates the levels of biomarkers associated with bone metabolism in patients with different periodontal conditions.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare in logotherapy-based intervention practiced to depressed patients on depression, psychological pain and meaning of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in reducing the depression levels of the patients? - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in reducing the psychological pain levels of the patients? - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in increasing the patients' level of meaning to life? Participants will be done online interview once a week for eight sessions. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if logotherapy-based intervention practiced effect depression, psychological pain and meaning of life levels.
In this study, preoperative physical examination findings, peroperative findings and data, and postoperative follow-up results of newborns who underwent inguinal hernia repair with PIRS ("Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing") method will be evaluated retrospectively.
