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 increasing number of patients who develop perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is partly related to the aging population and the increasing number of individuals with chronic comorbidities, particularly those with premorbid chronic kidney disease. Anesthesiologists and surgeons will increasingly have to deal with such patients who are elderly and have comorbidities and require major surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (primary aim) in patients aged 65 and over who underwent elective major gynecological-oncological surgery under general anesthesia in Ankara City Hospital Gynecology-Oncology Operating Room between January 2020-2022 and were followed up in the PACU in the postoperative period. To investigate risk factors and their results in a retrospective manner in line with the KDIGO criteria (secondary purpose).
Even though Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block is shown to be efficient in cardiac surgery, the Combine Serratus Anterior Plane (CSAP) Block is still controversial if it has an efficient analgesic effect for sternotomy and drain tube pain relief. This study aims to compare ESP block and CSAP block for postoperative analgesia in coronary bypass surgery patients.
In patients with stoma, apart from traditional methods, different methods whşch can be used in visual, auditory and motor skills are recommended as a part of education methods regarding stoma care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of two different methods in teaching stoma care skills considering patients with colostomy/ileostomy on stoma compliance and self-efficacy levels. This research is the thesis study designed within the scope of the Surgical Diseases Nursing Master's program.
In recent studies, it has been reported that intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) provides additional benefits when applied in adjunct to the rehabilitation in all stages of stroke (acute, subacute, or chronic). In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of iTBS applied in addition to modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT). By doing so, we intend to increase patient adherence to neurorehabilitation and decrease the cost of rehabilitation.
Management of indirect hernial sac in inguinal hernia repairs has long been a subject of debate among general surgeons. Although hernial sac high ligation (HL) is a time-honored concept in groin hernia surgery, non-ligation/invagination is gaining more popularity. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of hernia sac ligation and invagination in patients with Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty (LMH). Also, investigators aimed to investigate the possible association between the hernial defect size and postoperative early pain in both groups.
There is anatomical fascial continuity and functional connection between the plantar fascia, which has important roles in foot biomechanics, and the fibers of the Achilles tendon, and the change that will occur in any of these tissues is reflected in the other. However, it has not been objectively clarified how the tissue properties of the Achilles tendon, which plays an important role in foot biomechanics, such as the plantar fascia, change with pregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the trimester-specific biomechanical (stiffness, decrement and tone) and viscoelastic (creep and relaxation time) properties of the Achilles tendon, which adapts to changes in the foot structure during pregnancy.
This randomized, clinical, single-blinded, controlledstudywasinitiallyplannedtoinclude 35 patients diagnosed with tarsal tunnel who applied to Kütahya Health Sciences University, Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic.Patients aged 20-55 years who were diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome by electromyography (EMG) in the last 6 months were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups using the computer-assisted randomization method. Tibial nerve mobilization and foot-ankle range of motion exercises will be given to the study group, and only foot-ankle joint range of motion exercises will be given to the control group. All the patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Foot Functional Index (FFI), Neuropathic Pain QuestionnaireN (NPQ) and Tibial Nerve ultrasonography before the intervention and at the fourth week of intervention.
Many patients before the operation feel a high level of anxiety. This felt anxiety can develop due to many reasons such as anesthesia, not being able to wake up from the surgery and being disabled, and fear of feeling pain after the surgery. Music applications, which are among non-pharmacological techniques, are frequently used in the management of pain and anxiety.In this study, the effect of listening to music in the preoperative period on the anxiety of urology patients will be investigated
The relationship between elbow proprioception, upper extremity physical performance, and passing accuracy in adolescent basketball players will be explored.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of mandala painting on the anxiety of coronary heart patients.
