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.
Inguinal henri repair is among the most common operations performed by general surgery. The use of laparoscopy in inguinal hernia repair is becoming more common day by day. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is being applied with increasing frequency due to its advantages such as reducing postoperative pain, providing early return to work and increasing patient satisfaction. Due to the widespread use of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, the best fixation method for the patches has become an increasingly questionable subject. It is thought that fixation of the patch with staples or clips may reduce the slippage of the patch, thus reducing the risk of hernia recurrence. In addition, it has been stated that the use of these fixation materials will both increase the cost and cause acute and chronic pain after surgery. In some studies in the literature, it was determined that not detecting the patch in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair did not increase the recurrence. There are some studies showing that failure to fix the patch causes patch slippage in unilateral laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. In this study, it was planned to investigate the rate of displacement of the patches fixed with staples in patches that do not require fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgeries, compared to the ones that were not fixed, and whether they cause recurrence. At the same time, whether the staples used for patch fixation increase postoperative pain will be evaluated with VAS (visual analog scale) at the postoperative 1st day, 1st month and 6th month after the operation, compared to the group without stapler patch fixation.
Obesity has become an important medical and social problem in western countries today. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the most commonly performed surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity in the United States. Recently, there has been a steady increase in the number of surgeons performing bariatric surgery. In 2008, approximately 344,000 bariatric procedures were performed worldwide, of which 220,000 were performed in the United States and Canada. Most of these surgeries were laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures. There are many technical variations in the performance of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, especially when the approach is laparoscopic. Three techniques are commonly used when creating a gastrojejunostomy (GJ): hand-sewn, linear-staple, and circular-staple approaches. The effect of larger-caliber gastrojejunostomy on long-term weight loss is worrisome. Numerous recent reports describe the relationship between gastrojejunostomy enlargement and weight gain after gastric bypass, suggesting that this is a potentially valid concern. In this study, we aim to determine the effect of this potential GJ enlargement on weight loss.
The population of the research will be children between the ages of 7 and 12 who underwent day surgery at the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of the Gynecology and Childhood Hospital of Ordu University Training and Research Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of 99 children who have undergone a day surgery operation between the specified dates, who meet the case selection criteria and agree to participate in the study.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of video exercise trainings based on transtheoretic model given to elderly individuals living in nursing homes under the leadership of nurses on the risk of falling in elderly individuals within nursing care programs.
Aim: To investigate the effects of dance and movement therapy or walking interventions for elderly people aged 65 and over who are registered to the family health center located in the city center of Amasya, on the loneliness and self-neglect levels of the elderly. Method: In this study, which is a repeated-measurement and 3-armed randomized controlled study with a pretest-posttest control group, the elderly aged 65 and over will be randomly assigned to two 15-person experiments and a control group. In the study, dance and movement therapy techniques will be applied to the 1st intervention group (n:15), and walking attempt (2 x40 min/week and 6 weeks in total) to the 2nd intervention group (n:15). The data collection tool will be applied before the intervention and at the 1st and 3rd months after the intervention. Conclusion: The main result of the study is to determine that dance and movement therapy and walking attempts for the elderly are effective in reducing the levels of loneliness and self-neglect in the elderly. It is thought that the results of the study will support the elderly mentally, socially and culturally and will guide the programs that will improve the health of the elderly.
This work; The aim of this study was to develop a breastfeeding-supporting mobile application and to determine the effect of this application on breastfeeding self-efficacy and outcomes of primiparous. The research is planned to be carried out in two stages. In the first phase of the research, a mobile breastfeeding application based on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory will be developed. In the second phase of the study, a single-blind randomized pre-test-post-test control group intervention study design will be used to examine the effect of this developed application on breastfeeding self-efficacy and outcomes of primiparous. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the breastfeeding-supporting mobile application based on the Breastfeeding-Self-Efficacy Theory change the breastfeeding-self-efficacy of women? 2. Does a breastfeeding support mobile application based on the Breastfeeding-Self-Efficacy Theory change the rate of women starting breastfeeding within the first hour after birth? 3. Does a breastfeeding-supporting mobile application based on the Breastfeeding-Self-Efficacy Theory change women's time to breastfeed alone? 4. Does a breastfeeding support mobile application based on the Breastfeeding-Self-Efficacy Theory change the breastfeeding duration of women?
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses and distraction cards, which are cognitive behavioral techniques, on women's pain, anxiety and satisfaction levels. It is aimed to reduce your anxiety level, reduce pain level and increase feelings of satisfaction by showing you a nature video with Virtual Reality Glasses or showing distraction cards so that you can spend this process more comfortably while IUD is being applied. The following questions are expected to be answered in this research: When virtual reality glasses and distraction cards are applied during the IUD procedure; (1) Does it affect the woman's pain level? (2) Does it affect the woman's anxiety level? (3) does it have an effect on women's satisfaction? In addition, it is aimed to reveal the effectiveness of virtual reality glasses and distraction cards in the IUD application process, which is one of the modern family planning methods in midwifery applications, and to bring a non-invasive and cost-effective option into practice.
Patients who underwent inpatient rehabilitation for the last 5 years were retrospectively scanned. The pre-rehabilitation and rehabilitation periods of the patients were determined. At the beginning and end of rehabilitation, patients were evaluated with the Brunsstrom, Barthel and Stroke Impact Scale. The effect of the specified durations on these scales was investigated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the linear and angular measurements of the mandibular symphyseal region using lateral cephalometric (LC) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The main question it aims to answer are: Is there a significant difference in measurements on lateral cephalometric and cone beam CT? Measurements were made by 3 radiologists, and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to measure interobserver reliability.
Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest links between cognitive impairments and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The underlying mechanisms and causality in diabetes-related cognitive impairment are largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate cognitive impairment and the role of BDNF in prediabetes and diabetes patients.
