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.
Morbid obesity emerges as a problem that causes serious complications and increased mortality rates. The most effective treatment for morbid obesity today is surgical treatment. The most preferred type of surgery in morbid obesity surgery in Turkey and around the world is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). While postoperative complications are divided into early and late complications, complications that develop during surgery and in the postoperative period before discharge are defined as perioperative complications. Early surgical complications after LSG include complications such as staple line bleeding, leaks, pulmonary thromboembolism, and torsion of the remnant stomach. It is important to detect these complications, which can be controlled with early intervention in the perioperative period. Monitoring blood parameters and monitoring inflammation are methods that are easily accessible and provide rapid evaluation. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which are used in the evaluation and detection of postoperative complications, have shed light on studies in this direction. Pan immune inflammation value (PIV) is calculated from blood parameters and has been used to evaluate prognosis and chemotherapy results in colorectal cancer. In this study, the diagnostic importance of changes in NLR, PLR, and PIV values in the preoperative and postoperative periods will be investigated in detecting complications that develop in the perioperative period before discharge in patients who underwent LSG.
This study included 90 volunteer Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome patients. Only 7 mL blood samples collected from patients. Some biochemicals parameters analyzed in blood serum/plasma.
We aimed to compare the oral health status (dmft/DMFT index, IDCAS-II, BEWE, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth) between normal-weight (NW) and obese (OW) children/adolescents. 82 participants aged 6-16 years were concluded in this cross-sectional study. The children/adolescents were classified according to the body mass index (BMI): NW (n=41) and OW (n=41). Caries experience was assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II), decay, missing, filling teeth (dmft) for the primary teeth and (DMFT) for the permanent teeth, erosive tooth wear using Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE), Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD).
This study aimed to reveal the effects of prophylactic iron preparations, adequate breast milk intake, and iron-rich supplementary food intake in the prevention of IDA (iron deficiency anemia) and ID (iron deficiency) in infancy.
Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin D replacement therapy on pain, electrophysiological parameters, ultrasonographic measurement results and functional status scales in CTS patients with low serum vitamin D levels.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses on the levels of knowledge, stigma and perception of efficacy towards suicide in oncology nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. At the end of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology and at the end of the 3-month follow-up, is there a difference between the knowledge levels of nurses about suicide according to the pre-programme and control group? 2. At the end of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology and at the end of the 3-month follow-up, is there a difference between the perception of efficacy levels of nurses regarding suicide according to the pre-programme and control group. 3. At the end of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology and at the end of the 3-month follow-up, is there a difference between the stigma levels of nurses towards suicide according to the pre-programme and control group. 4. Is there a significant relationship between the levels of knowledge about suicide, perception of efficacy regarding suicide, and stigma towards suicide in the pre-test and post-test measurements of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology. 5. Is there a significant relationship between the levels of knowledge about suicide, perception of efficacy regarding suicide, and stigma towards suicide in the pre-test-follow-up test measurements of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology. Participants will participate the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses. Oncology Nurses are expected to complete the pre-test, post-test and follow-up tests. Researchers will compare control group to see if effect of "the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention"
The study aimed to investigate the effect of pre-admission education given to bariatric surgery (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) patients on preoperative and postoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient vital signs.
Objective: To define complete mesogastric excision and compare our short term results for the first time in a different population. Study design:Randomised-controlled study Place and duration of the study: Gastroenterological Surgery Clinic,Health Sciences University,Basaksehir City Hospital,Istanbul,Turkey,from April to December 2023. Methodology: We compared short term results of open total gastrectomy+ mesogastrectomy with standard total gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection at a tertiary center in terms of peroperative results, histopathological findings and postoperative short- term outcomes with review of the literature. Conclusion: Our aim is to show that mesogastric excision is safe and has advantages over conventional D2 gastrectomy in means of not only peroperative and short-term outcomes, but also disease free survival.Our work is the first study from a different population of the world and our initial results can contribute to the literature for universalization.
After the description of Le Fort fractures, maxillary osteotomies are used to correct dentofacial deformities. The profile changes on nasolabial region resulting from a Le Fort I osteotomy, also that affects nasal airway. The Subspinal Le Fort I osteotomy (SLFIO) describe to prevent undesirable soft tissue changes. In the literature, too many articles have reported the effectiveness of SLFIO in preventing nasal deformation. However, there is no study to evaluate the nasal volume or septum deviation.
The study was conducted to determine the effect of consumption of date fruit and nipple stimulation on labor. The samples were applied to pregnant women satisfying the research criteria in a state hospital in Istanbul between October 2013 and June 2014.
