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 aim of this study is to compare the traditional dorsal double injection digital block with the palmar single injection technique in the suturing of acute traumatic hand finger lacerations in terms of injection pain score (NRS), anesthesia onset time, and success of anesthesia. It is understood that single injection digital block and double injection digital block techniques do not have significant advantages over each other in terms of pain levels and procedure times. However, the need for rescue anesthesia was evaluated to be lower in the single injection digital block technique. This difference is especially due to measurements in the volar region incisions. According to the results of this study, we think that choosing the single injection digital block technique for volar region incisions is a more rational approach, especially in terms of the data of the need for rescue anesthesia.
Background: Delirium is a neurocognitive illness that has lately been connected to sleep difficulties. It is a stressful condition. is still not fully understood. A poor sleep burden and its progress were investigated in this study to determine their correlations with the risk of delirium following surgical procedures. Methods: Between August 1st and December 5th, 2023, 124 patients undergoing non-cardiac general anesthesia (mean age 63.68 ± 8.81 years [SD]; range 46-82 years) reported on their sleep characteristics. PSQI, 1- sleep duration, 2- sleep disturbance, 3- sleep latency, 4- daytime dysfunction resulting from sleepiness, 5- sleep efficiency, 6- overall sleep quality, and 7- usage of sleep medications were among these sleep characteristics. Seven component scores, ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), are obtained while assessing the PSQI. The global score ranges from 0 to 21 and is calculated by adding the component scores. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality. A three-day median follow-up time was used to analyze hospitalization records to gather data on new-onset delirium (n = 26). Approximately 124 people on average, with a mean.

The subject of the project is the impact of COVID-19 on the exercise capacity of patients. The long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection are still unknown. It is not yet clear whether pulmonary sequelae, which may be a consequence of the disease, are associated with a measurable functional deficit. In this project, the aerobic capacity of healthy people will be compared with individuals who have experienced Covid-19, and the amount of increase in aerobic capacity will be determined at the end of 15 sessions by applying a rehabilitation program including bicycle ergometry to individuals who have experienced Covid-19 Detailed description : In December 2020, in the pneumonia epidemic in which the city of Wuhan, China is the center, pneumonia developed due to the newly defined SARS-CoV-2 factor was defined as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been observed that clinical findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients hospitalized in Wuhan range from mild manifestations such as asymptomatic disease and mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe viral pneumonia accompanied by respiratory failure and may result in death.The long-term sequelae of COVID19 are still unknown. Pulmonary sequelae that impair physical fitness have been predominantly defined for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Although lung lesions have been identified as asymptomatically in infected individuals, it is not yet clear whether these observations are related to a measurable functional deficit in physical fitness. They measured the change in the predicted maximum aerobic capacity (VO2 max) of non-infected,asymptomatically infected, and recovering COVID-19 individuals with a well-established and validated physical fitness test before and after the COVID-19 outbreak among young Swiss adults.They demonstrated decreased aerobic capacity in young adults 1 to 2 months after symptomatic COVID-19 without physical strength being affected. In their study, 19% of young adults who recovered after COVID-19 had a VO2 max decrease of more than 10% compared to baseline before infection. It has been identified that decreased VO2 max value is the hallmark of interstitial lung disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes lung damage even in asymptomatic cases. A total of 64 people, including 32 people in 2 groups between the ages of 18-55, who have or have not had corona virus infection, who applied to Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation or Infectious Diseases outpatient clinics for different reasons, will be included in our project. The research start date is February 2021 and the end date is February 2023. At the beginning of the study, demographic information of the individuals such as gender, age,height, weight, occupation, education, body mass index, physical activity level (international physical activity index-IPAQ), the most used hand (dominant hand) in daily life activities will be recorded. In the control group, resting heart rate, blood pressure, saturation measurement, ECG will be performed before exercise. In addition, in order to evaluate their muscle strength, microFET3 manual muscle measurement device will be used to measure the triceps muscle strength in the upper extremity they actively use, and the quadriceps muscle strength of the same side will be measured, and their grip strength will be measured with the JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer. Using the international physical activity index(IPAQ), activity status in daily life will be assessed. The exercise capacity of all individuals will be measured with the aid of the COSMED Quark CPET device using the bicycle ergometry test recommended by the American Society of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. In this test, submaximal exercise test will be performed by providing 25 W increase in 2 minutes periods after the warm-up period at 0 load (W) for 2 minutes. In addition, the borg scale obtained at the end of the test, metabolic equivalent of task (MET) and maximum work (W), test duration, maximum heart rate parameters will also be recorded in order to evaluate the exercise capacity. Individuals who have been confirmed by the previous SARS-COV 2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to have coronovirus infection after the test will be included in a treatment program of 15 sessions, at least 3 sessions per week, with bicycle ergometry. After 15 sessions, exercise capacity will be re-evaluated using the cycling test, the aforementioned triceps and grip muscle strengths, V02 max, maximum conjugate (MET), maximum work (w), borg scale, maximum heart rate, test time parameters will be saved again after treatment.
The use of Ultrasonography (USG) in arterial catheterization, in which the comfort of the practitioner and hand-eye coordination become very important, is frequently needed by anesthesiologists in their daily practice. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success rate and anesthesiologist's satisfaction between two practitioners with different levels of experience in radial artery catheterization with smart glasses USG.
The goal of this observational study is to to evaluate the effects of a throat pack soaked with saline at +4 ºC on postoperative throat pain (POTP) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in dental surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How long can we keep the pharyngeal mucosa cold using tampons and cold wash solutions? 2. Does cooling the pharyngeal mucosa reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat and nausea and vomiting?
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual tasking on upper extremity functions in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and compare with healthy controls. Additionally, another aim of our study was to compare the cognitive status, quality of life, fatigue and emotional states of individuals with MS and healthy controls.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of neuromuscular training program and conventional physical therapy program on pain, functional status, physical performance, balance, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that affects the psychosocial status and physical activities of children and their parents in many ways. Our study aimed to investigate the variability of disease-related quality of life and behavioral and emotional adjustment issues compared to a healthy control group among adolescents and their families diagnosed with IBD. Children with IBD and the healthy control group, as well as the parents of both groups, will administered the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The PedsQL is a scale used to assess physical and psychosocial functioning based on the individual's own experiences, commonly employed in clinical trials and quality improvement initiatives. The scale evaluates physical activity status and psychosocial functioning through questions related to emotional, social, and school-related issues.
Precisely, pain in the ICU is a multidimensional problem with a multivariate of reasons. Still, it would be simpler to manage it in unconscious palliative patients with less source of pain, but only if we can detect it practically with the help of nociception monitors. Using five parameters, nociception level index (NOL) monitoring (Medasense) is differentiated from its alternatives. Other than pain detection, this monitoring can titrate analgesic administration. This study investigates the validity of a new nociception monitoring tool, the nociception level index, and its practical impact on providing adequate analgesia in palliative patients in intensive care.
