(14 days, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months,18 months, 24 months, and 36 months, post-procedure. ) Subjects will be followed per protocol and institutional standard of care for ED and comorbidities.
Under normal conditions, the umbilical cord is removed 5-15 days after birth. It dries up and falls within days. It is extremely important to determine the factors that cause the prolongation of the falling time of the cord, which poses a serious risk for infection. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of umbilical cord care training given to primiparous mothers on the duration of cord fall. It is a randomized controlled type of research. The population of the research will be primiparous mothers who gave birth in the obstetrics clinic of a university hospital. A pilot study will be conducted to determine the number of samples. As a result of the pilot study, power analysis will be performed and the number of samples will be determined. Inclusion criteria of mothers in the study; Data collection tools: "Descriptive Questionnaire" and "Questionnaire for Umbilical Cord Care" will be used to collect research data. Randomization will be done as odd days of the week and even days of the week for sample selection in the study. Primiparous mothers giving birth on odd days of the week will form the group that will receive umbilical cord training, while primiparous mothers giving birth on even days of the week will form the group that does not receive training. The research will be carried out in two stages. In the first stage of the research, after informing the mothers about the study, they will be invited to the research. Written consent will be obtained from mothers who volunteered to participate in the study. Then, the "Descriptive Questionnaire" prepared to describe mothers and babies will be filled. In the second stage of the research: the mothers will be called 15-20 days after the first interview and the "Question Form Regarding Umbilical Cord Care" will be filled.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological movement disorder characterized by uncomfortable and uncontrollable sensations, usually in the legs, that increase at rest, and an urge to move the legs or other affected extremities. The exact cause of RLS is unknown, but there are idiopathic and secondary forms of RLS associated with various medical conditions such as anemia, pregnancy, uremia, neuropathies, rheumatoid arthritis, parkinson's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia, and neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. NMO, once considered a variant of multiple sclerosis, is now recognized as a separate disease entity. In 2004, the water channel protein-specific antibody called aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was found to cause NMO, leading to the identification of NMO as a separate disease. When initially described, the disease was thought to show only necrotic and demyelinating lesions in the optic nerve and spinal cord. It was therefore thought that NMO would preferentially only attack the optic nerves and spinal cord, not the brain. However, over the years, evidence from various studies has proven that various parts of the brain are also affected during the course of the disease. In addition, some patients showing features of the disease were found to be seronegative for anti-AQP4 antibodies. These findings necessitated the need to introduce a new term "neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD)" to describe all the features of the disease. Although the feeling of restlessness in the legs is frequently reported as a sensory symptom by people with NMOSD, there are limited publications to investigate the relationship between RLS and NMOSD. The primary aim of the study is to determine the frequency and severity of RLS in people with NMOSD. The second aim of the study is to compare the presence and severity of RLS, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness level, quality of life, fatigue and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results in people with NMOSD. The third aim of the study is to compare the cognitive functions of people with RLS positive and negative NMOSD. People with NMOSD who came to Dokuz Eylul University Medical Faculty Hospital Neurology Department MS Polyclinic for their routine check-ups, who volunteered to participate, will be included in the study.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Muscle Energy Technique in female patients with mechanical low back pain. Methods: A total of 40 female participants aged 30-45 were randomly divided into two groups (Study Group and Control Group). Control group participants were under 10 sessions conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation (TENS, US, hot pack) and performed standard home exercises. Study Group participants were under 8 sessions muscle energy technique in addition to conventional physical therapy and standard home exercises. Pain (Visual Analog Scale-VAS), spinal mobility (Modify Schober Test-MST), flexibility (Fingertip Floor Distance-FFD, Right and Left Lateral Flexion Floor Distance-LFFD), quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile-NHP), disability (Oswestry Disability Index-ODI), kinesiofobia (Tampa Kinesiofobia Scale-TKS) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-BDI) were measured at baseline, after the treatment and 3th months.
This is a 12-week (with an extension to 52 weeks in a subset of participants) study comparing the safety of BGF MDI HFO twice daily (BID) with BGF MDI HFA BID in participants with moderate to very severe COPD.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a significant difference in dental age between children with CLP and healthy controls using the Willems method, Cameriere European formula and London Atlas. It is aimed to create a new formula if there is a significant difference in dental age between children with CLP and healthy controls.
Self-care non-pharmacological methods can help reduce the negative health effects of sleep problems or insomnia. This trial aims to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation alone and in combination on sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in adults with a stoma.
Introduction Pregnancy and giving birth to an infant is a physiological process as well as it is also a transition of life, and a stressful period of time with a significance in the life of woman. This period is evaluated as a developmental crisis for the woman, and for her family. High-risk pregnant women are at the forefront of the individuals who need to be supported the most during the transition to motherhood.The presence of a physiological, emotional and psychosocial condition that endanger the health and life of the pregnant and/or fetus and increases the risk of illness and death is defined as "high-risk pregnancy". Exposure to obstetric complications is known to be associated with the later development of psychiatric disorders. In the literature review, it is seen that there are few studies in which CBT and mindfulness-based interventions are applied to reduce stress, anxiety and depression in risky or risk-free pregnant women. However, no CBT-based stress reduction program applied to high-risk pregnant women has been found in our country. A stress reduction program based on cognitive behavioral interventions during the transition to motherhood can contribute to the protection of maternal mental health and psychological well-being in pregnant women, and may help for healthy pregnancy and birth outcomes. Research Aim This study was planned to examine the effect of cognitive behavioral approach-based stress reduction program on pregnancy process and maternal mental health to be applied to high-risk pregnant women. Research Type The study was planned as an experimental study with a randomized control group including pre-test, post-test and follow-up measurements to examine the effect of "stress reduction program based on cognitive behavioral approach" on the maternal mental health, pregnancy, and childbirth process of the high risk pregnant women.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of training given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use. In line with this general purpose, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: H0= Education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use has no effect on children's hand hygiene and mask use behaviors. H1= With the education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use, children will exhibit more correct hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.
