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.
With the prolongation of life expectancy, the frequency of surgical intervention and anesthesia increases in elderly patients. The rapid Sequence Intubation(RSI) technique is preferred in patients with aspiration risk and who will undergo general anesthesia, especially in the pandemic period, to reduce or eliminate the aerosolization of respiratory secretions. The use of rocuronium at a dose of 1 mg/kg in RSI also causes prolongation of the recovery of neuromuscular block. This study aimed to compare the intubation conditions and train-of-four count(TOFC) 1-2 times of the rocuronium doses with priming according to ideal body weight(IBW), corrected body weight(CBW), and total body weight(TBW) in RSI of patients aged >65 years.
Neglect and abuse, which have a devastating effect on children, can be prevented with community-based education programs aimed at strengthening families. The study aimed to validate and determine reliability of the "Parents Assessment of Protective Factors (PAPF) survey" and to develop a culturally appropriate program and educational design for strengthening families.
Paternal involvement in breastfeeding has been identified as a significant predictor in maternal breastfeeding outcomes. The main aim of this study is to examine the relationship between reported paternal breastfeeding support and paternal-infant attachment with exclusive breastfeeding and total breastfeeding duration. The hypothesis is that paternal involvement in breastfeeding increase exclusive breastfeeding rates, total breastfeeding duration and strengthen paternal-infant attachment.
The investigators aim will be to compare the diagnostic performance of clinical visual examination (ICDAS II), intraoral/bite wing radiography (BW), near infrared light transillumination (NIR-LT), and laser fluorescence (LF), in comparison to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) for the detection of non-cavitated occlusal enamel and dentin caries in third molar teeth. Potential participants will be consecutively recruited.
In this randomized prospective single-blind study,American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system ( ASA )I-II-III patients aged 50-80 years undergoing transurethral bladder resection will be randomly divided into two groups. First group will be covered with 41 centigrade degrees double layered cotton cloth. Second group will receive active prewarming. Core temperature of all patients will be monitorized via tympanic membrane. Skin temperature will be monitorized from 4 different body areas. Spinal anesthesia will be applied at the level of L3-L4 by a 25 Gauge quincke needle with a dose of 12.5-15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Pinprick test will be used for sensorial block assessment. T10 sensorial block will be our goal. Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded. Skin temperature will be monitorized before and after spinal anesthesia and changes will be recorded. Operation time, amount and temperature of irrigation fluids, transfusion requirement, discharge time from postoperative care unit will also be recorded. Shivering score and thermal comfort scale will be used. The two groups will be compared for the temperature changes.
It has been clearly demonstrated by the literature that the way of initiation of breastfeeding is highly correlated with the success and continuation of breastfeeding and the level of breastfeeding intention. Crawling to the breast is the reflex of seeking the breast by smelling the breastmilk of the newborn as the first form of breastfeeding. Although crawling to the breast is a studied subject in the international literature, it has remained only in the compilation stage in the national literature. The fact that research on breast crawling has not yet been conducted in our country constitutes the original value of this study. This study was planned to examine the effect of crawling to the breast after vaginal delivery compared to biological breastfeeding on breastfeeding success and mothers' attitude to feed their babies.
CDK 4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib) have taken their place in our practice recently with their clinical benefits in the treatment of hormone-positive and HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer. Abemaciclib, another CDK 4/6 inhibitor, is not frequently preferred because of reimbursement problems in Turkey. The most obvious advantages of CDK 4/6 inhibitors are that they are used orally and have relatively fewer side effects against chemotherapy. Neutropenia, diarrhea, elevation in liver function tests are the main dose-limiting side effects. In the geriatric age group, it can be thought that the expected benefit from the treatment will not be achieved in cases where these side effects cannot be predicted or managed well. The geriatric age group (65 years and older) deserves special attention in oncology practice, considering both the treatments and the disease itself. Although a number of very useful clinical scales have been developed regarding this subject, it is important that the scale used should be comprehensive as well as being easily applicable for integrating it into daily practice. Geriatric 8 (G8) was found to be a highly sensitive test based on a comprehensive geriatric examination, while the Groningen frailty scale with high specificity. The common feature of these two tests is that they are suitable for daily practice as they are easy to fill. In the light of this information, we aimed to examine whether the G8 and Groningen frailty scale could shed light on clinicians in predicting side effects during the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib and ribociclib) in geriatric breast cancer patients. We also aimed to reveal the adverse events of these CDK 4/6 inhibitors as real-life experience.
In this study, the effect of cold application used during and after chest tube removal on pain and vital signs in infants and children in the 0-3 age group will be examined.
The aim of the study; To investigate the effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilizations and Stretching Exercises on flexibility, spasticity, balance and functional mobility in patients with CP.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of two different strengths (3 µg/0.5 mL and 4,5 µg/0.5 mL) of inactivated COVID 19 Vaccine- TURKOVAC in healthy subjects following 3rd vaccination to demonstrate clinical evidence in prophylaxis of COVID 19.
