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.
Mottling score and central venous oxygen saturation are described as a clinical evaluation of tissue perfusion. This study describes mottling incidence and mottling score in septic shock patients according to central venous oxygen saturation.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of laughter therapy on the general health status, sleep quality, and stress level of nursing students.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of breathing exercise performed during peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) application on pain, anxiety and patient satisfaction. The study was completed as a randomized controlled experimental study with a total of 130 individuals who met the inclusion criteria. The Descriptive Characteristics Questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Numerical Rating Scale were used to collect the data of the study. In addition, Algometer (66 Lb/30 Kg) device was used to evaluate the pain pressure threshold in determining the individuals to be included in the research sample. The individuals in the intervention group were given diaphragmatic breathing exercise while applying the catheter, and the individuals in the control group were inserted without any application.
The study aimed to investigate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of possible novel biomarkers Annexin-A1 (ANX A1), Carbonic anhydrase- 1 (CA I), and Elongation Factor-1 Gamma (EF1-Ɣ) in health along with different periodontal diseases. In total, 80 systemically healthy individuals were included in this study; 20 with periodontitis stage 3 grade B , 20 with periodontitis stage 3 grade C (P-Stage III/C), 19 with gingivitis, and 21 with clinically healthy periodontium. Probing depth, clinical attachment level, plaque index, and papillary bleeding index were recorded. GCF ANX A1, CA I and EF1-Ɣ levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Receiver operating characteristics curve was used for estimating the under the curve.
The aim of this study is to compare the thyroid hormone values and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) levels of women with a diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and healthy pregnancies. The primary objective is to find out the relationship between recurrent pregnancy loss with thyroid hormone levels and anti-TPO positivity.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficiency of Autotaxin (ATX) as a biomarker for breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are; - is ATX a reliable tumor marker for breast cancer patients in diagnosis - can ATX differentiate cancer patients from non-cancer ones
In our study, it was aimed to compare the long-term effectiveness of diode laser and low level laser therapy and primary tooth amputation treatments using calcium hydroxide (LLLT+CH) in primary second molars with deep dentinal caries. Ninety patients ( 42 Gırl, 48 Boy) aged 6-9 years with deep dentin caries in the mandibular second molar were included in the study. The patients were randomly selected according to the treatment to be applied and divided into two groups as the diode laser group (N=45) and the LLLT+CH group (N=45). The patients were called for control appointments at the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months after the treatment, and both clinical and radiographic follow-ups were performed. Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used to compare categorical variables according to groups in statistical analysis, and p<0.05 was considered significant. When the study results at the end of 12 months were evaluated, the diode laser group had a clinical success rate of 95.6%, and a success rate of 93.3% radiologically; The LLLT+CH group had a success rate of 97.7% clinically and 90.9% radiologically. There was no statistically significant difference between the success rates of the groups (p>0.05). According to the clinical and radiographic results of our study, it was determined that diode laser and LLLT+CH amputations showed similar success rates in primary second molars with deep dentin caries. It has been seen that both methods can be used safely in primary tooth amputations. It is thought that clinical and histological studies and studies examining the effectiveness of dental laser applications in primary tooth amputation treatment are needed.
it was aimed to determine the effect of empathic communication-based education on positive birth perception awareness.
In this study, the effect of nurse-led empowerment training given to patients with Type 2 Diabetes on clinical findings and empowerment behaviors will be investigated.
Erector Spina Plane (ESP) block has been widely used in recent years, and it is also used in the control of postoperative analgesia in many types of surgery due to its proximity to the central area and its wide spread feature. In this study, the investigators aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of ESP block on postoperative pain management in anterior cervical disc and fusion surgeries.
