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.
One of the criteria used for long-term implant success is the evaluation of radiographic bone loss. It is known that the keratinized mucosa over the alveolar crest forms a protective barrier against inflammatory infiltration. In addition, it has been reported that the vertical mucosal thickness on the crest is important in the formation of the biological width around the implant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vertical mucosal thickness on the alveolar crest on peri-implant marginal bone loss around crestal and subcrestal placed platform-switching implants. In this study, patients will be divided into 2 main groups with vertical mucosal thickness of 2 mm and less and more than 2 mm, and both groups will consist of 2 subgroups as crestally and subcrestally according to the implant level placed. A total of 80 implants will be included, 20 implants in each group. Before starting the surgery, after anesthesia is given, the width of the patient's peri-implant keratinized mucosa and the vertical mucosal thickness over the alveolar crest will be measured. Clinical and radiological measurements will be made in all patients during the prosthetic loading session (T0), at 3rd month (T1), 6th month (T2) and 1 year after loading (T3). With standardized control periapical radiographs to be taken as a result of one-year follow-up, the marginal bone loss amount in the implants will be evaluated using soft-ware.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of astegolimab compared with placebo in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are former or current smokers and have a history of frequent exacerbations.
The main goal of this sham-controlled clinical trial is to learn the excitability levels of the muscles around the knee and balance using objective measurement methods in patients with knee osteoarthritis of non-immersive virtual reality application. The secondary aims of the study are to investigate in which direction the proprioception, physical function level, independence level in activities of daily living, muscle endurance around the knee and patient satisfaction change with non-immersive virtual reality application in patients with knee osteoarthritis. In this study, main questions are to answer: 1. Are non-immersive virtual reality-based knee exercises effective on muscle excitability around the knee and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis? 2. Are non-immersive virtual reality-based knee exercises effective in improving the level of physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis? The data collection part of this study will be carried out on volunteers, male and female, who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist at Erzurum Atatürk University Training and Research Hospital. After informing the participants about the study, the consent form will be signed. Participants will be patients receiving routine outpatient physical therapy. The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with a sham-control group. The study group will receive non-immersive virtual reality in addition to traditional physiotherapy, and the control group will receive sham virtual reality exercise in addition to traditional physiotherapy.
The research is a randomized controlled experimental study.

All mothers who were hospitalized in the gynecology service during the data collection period and met the inclusion criteria will be included in the study and sample selection will not be made. "Mother and Baby Descriptive Information Form", "Maternal Attachment Scale", "Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Semantic Difference Scale-Me as Mother" and "Sleep and Crying Diary" will be used to collect research data. Developing the 5S application, which is a baby calming technique, as an educational material in the research. A training booklet will be prepared and used by making use of the training materials that Harvey Karp shared with the researchers.
In the literature neuromuscular exercise programs are often used for prevention in sport players. Literature lacks of perturbation exercises and its effects on peroneal's muscle strength, fatigue and individual's performance parameters. This study will investigate if it is possible to achieve improvements on peroneal eccentric strength, fatigue, dynamic balance and individual's performance with the exercises mainly based on side perturbations.
Aim: This study was randomized to determine the effect of biological nurturing education given to nulliparous pregnant women on breastfeeding status. Method: The population of the study consisted of pregnant women who are visiting Istanbul Training and Research Hospital Suleymaniye Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital between October 2022 and August 2023. F test at 90% effect power 0.25 medium effect level on the sample of the study analyzed using the Gpower (3.1.9.2) Programe. As a result of the analyze, it was planned to recruit 207 nulliparous pregnant women. According to the calculation made, there should be at least 69 people in each groups. Accordingly, 69 people in the experimental 1 group (biological nurturing), 69 people in the experimental 2 group (classical breastfeeding), 69 people should be included in the control group. Experimental 1 group and experimental 2 group will be given breastfeeding training on their first visit and after two weeks. Breastfeeding success in the postpartum period will be compared in all groups.
It is a randomized, controlled and prospectively planned observational study.In our study, oral fluid administration 1 hour before surgery in children aged 5-12 years was aimed at preoperative anxiety level as the primary objective; The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects on gastric volume, hemodynamics and blood sugar.The study included 90 paediatric patients aged 5-12 years with ASA score 1-2. Group A (n=30): Standard fasting group. Group S (n=30): A group of patients who were given oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) of water 1 hour ago. Group K (n=30): A group of patients who were given an oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) carbohydrate rich clear liquid 1 hour ago. All patients were evaluated with the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) before and 1 hour after fluids were administered. After anesthesia, gastric antrum cross-sectional area (GACSA) was measured. Gastric residual volume (GRV) values were calculated. Hemodynamic data, blood sugar levels and parental satisfaction were recorded.
Dental implants have become one of the most common treatments used for the rehabilitation of lost teeth. The success rate of dental implant treatment is quite high. One of the criteria used for long-term implant success is the evaluation of radiographic marginal bone loss. Implants are used at the bone and tissue level in implant treatment. In this study, it was planned to use 20 implants of the same brand, with a single implant in the bilateral posterior regions in 10 patients.The study will be designed as split-mouth. The implant will be placed at the bone level with the same protocol in the two edentulous areas and the flap will be closed primarily. After 3 months, the substructure of the two-piece abutment concept system will be placed in a region during the healing head placement stage, and the bone level implant will be converted to the tissue level. A conventional healing cap will be placed in the other area. Periapical radiographs will be taken from the patients who participated in our study, as in all implant patients, during the pre-surgical planning phase and after implant placement. With the control periapical radiographs to be taken as a result of one-year follow-up, the marginal bone loss amount in the implants will be evaluated using soft-ware. Clinical measurements will be taken in all patients at the prosthetic loading session and 1 year after loading.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Low-Dye and Kinesio Taping on pain and function in individuals with plantar fasciitis.
There are various known parameters for assessing ovarian reserve, including ovarian volume, antral follicle count, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Inhibin B at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, as well as anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). Anti-müllerian hormone is a dimeric glycoprotein and a member of the transforming growth factor β family that plays a role in the regulation of follicular development. AMH is produced by granulosa cells of the early developing follicles in the ovary, and continues to be expressed in the growing follicles until these follicles have reached a size of 4-6 mm and a differentiation state at which AMH becomes receptive for exogenous FSH, and may be selected for dominance.It exerts its biological effects through the receptor AMHR2, which is present on granulosa and theca cells. Considering the important role of the AMH signalling pathway in regulating FSH sensitivity in the ovary and follicular recruitment and selection, it is appropriate to consider that variation in the genes encoding key proteins in the pathway may influence ovarian response. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the distribution of single gene polymorphisms of the AMHR2 receptor gene A-482G/rs200255 in patients with unexplained infertility and to compare this distribution with the distribution in women without infertility.
