Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic and autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and dysfunction of exocrine glands such as tear and salivary glands. SS is defined as primary SS when it progresses alone without any other rheumatic disease finding, while the definition of secondary SS is used in the presence of another accompanying autoimmune disease. One of the most disturbing symptoms of SS is hyposalivation, xerostomia and dysphagia due to hypofunction of salivary glands. While xerostomia is the patient's subjective perception of dry mouth, hyposalivation is also evaluated objectively by salivary flow rate measurement methods. Studies have reported that 0.9% to 64.8% of patients with SS experience xerostomia and 32% to 72% of them experience dysphagia. It was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine its effect on dysphagia.
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between degrees of erectile dysfunction and carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) and its effect on the medical treatment of this disease. Considering that there are vascular pathologies in the etiology, it is important to reveal vascular disorders with CIMT, which is a non-invasive, easily applicable method, and to use it in the grading and treatment of erectile dysfunction.

In addition to objective criteria (no episode period for 6 months) for defining and monitoring recovery, evaluation of subjective criteria is also very important. Various Turkish scales related to recovery in progressive diseases have been developed or validity-reliability studies have been conducted. However, as far as we know, there is no scale that evaluates subjective improvement for a disorder such as bipolar disorder that progresses in episodes and has a heterogeneous appearance of loss of functionality. In this study, we aimed to conduct a validity and reliability study of the recovery questionnaire for BDD.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental research design to examine the effect of foot reflexology applied to nurses working in the intensive care unit on stress, fatigue and low back pain.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of rigid taping on hyperextension control in stroke patients with knee hyperextension in the stance phase of gait. Hypothesis Ho: Rigid taping has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients. H1: Rigid taping has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.
The study was conducted as an experimental study to determine the effect of menthol chewing gum application on postoperative nausea, vomiting and hospital stay in children with appendectomy. The population of the study consisted of children aged 7-18 who underwent appendectomy in Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Surgery clinic between April and June 2022. In the sample of the study, a total of 60 children (menthol gum group- intervention group=30, control=30) who had postoperative nausea-vomiting, accepted to participate in the study and met the sample selection criteria were included. Starting from the second hour after the child was brought to the clinic after appendectomy, the children in the chewing gum group with nausea and vomiting were chewed gum for an average of 15 minutes. The patients in the study group were not intervened except for routine nursing care. During the chewing gum (between 5-10. minutes), up to 30., 60. and 120. Minutes after the chewing gum.The patient was re-evaluated in terms of nausea with the BARF nausea scale. Episodes of vomiting were recorded in patients with vomiting. After the quantitative stages of the study were completed, the patient's level of relief was evaluated using a verbal descriptive scale. Nausea and vomiting were also evaluated before the patient was discharged.
