This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of serum melatonin as a biomarker for the determination of severe COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. Four study groups were formed, including pregnant women with a positive COVID-19 PCR test, severe symptoms, and inpatient treatment. Pregnant women who had complaints similar to COVID-19 infection or had no complaints, but had a PCR test due to the surveillance program and negative test results were included in the control group. Methods and Main Outcome measure: Laboratory values of the cases at the time of diagnosis parameters were collected. Melatonin levels decrease in pregnant women with COVID-19 symptoms, the severity of symptoms increases. In addition, patients with low melatonin levels have an increase in infection parameters and an increase in the hospital stay.
The feet, which are support surfaces, are adapted to the physiological relaxation and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy. In this adaptation, it has not been objectively clarified how the plantar fascia, which plays a very important role in maintaining the height of the plantar arch, undergoes a change. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the normative values of trimester-specific biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia, which adapts to changes in foot structure during pregnancy.
Tracheal stenosis is a serious complication following prolonged intubation. There are important differences in the challenges of airway management. This study consists of our anesthesia management experience in patients with unusual placement of tracheal stenosis due to Covid-19 undergoing tracheal dilatation.
Background: Multi-gravitational suspension-based therapy (M-Gravity) is a comprehensive discipline based on the principles of non-gravity, which serves to increase the quality of life and holistic health of the individual with the rehabilitation content of non-pressure inversion therapy. Aims: To examine the effects of M-Gravity exercise on posture, physical fitness, quality of life, depression, and sleep quality in women without regular exercise habits. Methods: This study was designed as a non-randomized controlled trial. This study included 20 women without regular exercise habits, who participated in the exercise with M-Gravity and 20 women who did not participate in any exercise program, a total of 40 participants. In this study, the investigators planned to evaluate the effects of M-Gravity on women without regular exercise habits. The following outcomes were measured: posture with the New York Posture Assessment Method, the flexibility of the hamstring and pectoral muscles, time is taken to stay in the plank position, depression levels with the Beck Depression Inventory scale, sleep quality is performed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) questionnaire to measure the perceived health levels of the subjects. The measurement of the contraction force of the deep lumbar muscles is performed with the Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback (Chattanooga Stabilizer). Two evaluations were made before and after 4 weeks of exercise.
Backround: Positive psychotherapy (PPT) divides conflicts into three. One of these conflicts is the key conflicts that occur frequently in daily life and arise from the unbalanced use of courtesy and honesty. Avoiding key conflicts depends on the balanced use of courtesy and honesty. Nursing students' balance of courtesy and honesty while communicating will reduce key conflicts and increase the level of effective communication skills. This is important in terms of making a significant contribution to the quality of nursing care. Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the effect of PPT-based kindness and honesty psychoeducation on the level of effective communication skills of nursing students. Design: The study is a randomized controlled, pretest-posttest design, and a single-blind study. Settings and participants: This research will conduct with 64 undergraduate nursing students who took a psychiatric nursing course. Methods: Students will divid into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. "Personal information form and effective communication skills scale" will apply to the intervention and control groups. After the pre-measurements will apply, the intervention group received courtesy and honesty key (KMCI) psychoeducation for 5 weeks, and no intervention will apply to the control group. Afterwards, a post-test will apply to both groups. Key words: Positive psychotherapy, effective communication skills, nursing students, psychoeducation, courtesy and honesty.
In our study, It was aimed to determine the dose of morphine that provides the most effective analgesia with the least incidence of side effects in the postoperative period.
To determine the effect of cold vapor given in the post-extubation period on sore throat.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether elranatamab monotherapy can provide clinical benefit compared to lenalidomide monotherapy (control) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma after undergoing autologous stem cell transplant. In Part 1 and Part 2 of the study, participants in the study will either receive elranatamab (arm A and C) as an injection under the skin at the study clinic or lenalidomide orally once daily at home (arm B). Participation in the study will be approximately five years
