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 aim of this study is to determine the effects of technology-based motivation education prepared according to the health belief model on obesity-related beliefs and attitudes, nutrition-exercise behaviors, self-efficacy and weight management in obese university students.
Nurses are in the position of primary health care provider in relieving children's pain and fears of bloodletting in the wards where they work. As a result of this study, it is aimed to encourage nurses to apply non-pharmacological interventions during painful medical procedures, to facilitate the provision of necessary and different means of distraction to blood collection services, and to contribute to the development of in-house health policies and the preparation of appropriate clinical guides and to add an innovative perspective.
This study was designed as an observational, prospective, epidemiological screening study. Patients who have been admitted to the center and whose lymphopenia and/or Immunoglobulin E elevation has been detected in at least one examination in their medical history will be included. In accordance with the relevant legislation, patients are required to accept and sign the Informed Consent Form regarding their participation in the study. Current data that the physician has already questioned in his daily practice will be collected from patients who have agreed to participate in the study, and a blood sample will be taken from patients on Guthrie paper. This sample will be prepared by taking it from the patient as the physician deems appropriate, dripping it into a special area designated on Guthrie paper and drying it. The test result will be sent to the researcher by e-mail. In case of formation of new information for each patient, consultation will be provided by the responsible researcher. Thus, the prevalence of ADA enzyme deficiency disease in patients with lymphopenia will be evaluated. In addition, with this study, it will be scientifically demonstrated whether lymphopenia is a parameter that facilitates early diagnosis of ADA patients.
This observational study was designed as a prospective epidemiological screening study. Patients who have applied to the centers participating in the study and who have previously been clinically or pathologically diagnosed with PAP (Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis) will be included in the study. Up-to-date data will be collected from patients who have agreed to participate in the study, and a blood sample with DBS will be taken from patients. The blood taken will be subjected to analysis for ADA metabolites. For patients with a high metabolic test, the responsible researcher will advise on clarifying the diagnosis with a genetic test other than the study. In case of formation of new information for each patient, consultation will be provided by the responsible researcher. Thus, the prevalence of ADA enzyme deficiency disease will be evaluated in patients diagnosed with PAP.
This observational study was designed as a prospective epidemiological screening study. Patients who applied to the centers participating in the study, bronchiectasis was detected on at least one computed tomography of the lungs; Immunoglobulin E height and/or were found to be lymphopenic on at least one examination will be included in the study. Up-to-date data will be collected from patients who have agreed to participate in the study, and a blood sample with DBS will be taken from patients. The blood taken will be subjected to analysis for ADA metabolites. For patients with a high metabolic test, the responsible researcher will advise on clarifying the diagnosis with a genetic test other than the study. In case of formation of new information for each patient, consultation will be provided by the responsible researcher. Thus, the prevalence of ADA enzyme deficiency disease in patients with bronchiectasis, Immunoglobulin E elevation and/or lymphopenia will be evaluated. In addition, with this study, it will be scientifically demonstrated whether lymphopenia and/or Immunoglobulin E height is a parameter that facilitates the early diagnosis of patients with late-onset ADA enzyme deficiency.
This observational study was designed as a prospective epidemiological screening study. Patients who applied to the centers participating in the study and were found to be lymphopenic in at least one examination will be included in the study. Up-to-date data will be collected from patients who have agreed to participate in the study, and a blood sample will be taken from patients on Guthrie paper. The blood taken will be sent to the Duzen Laboratories center located in Ankara and will be subjected to ADA metabolites analysis. For patients with a high metabolic test, the responsible investigator will advise on clarifying the diagnosis with a genetic test other than the study. In case of formation of new information for each patient, consultation will be provided by the responsible researcher. Thus, the prevalence of ADA enzyme deficiency disease in patients with lymphopenia will be evaluated. In addition, with this study, it will be scientifically demonstrated whether lymphopenia is a parameter that facilitates early diagnosis of ADA patients.
Stroke is the leading neurological disease in the world that causes long-term disability. The most common cause of disability after stroke is motor impairment resulting from brain damage which ultimately cause respiratory and functional limitation. Respiratory muscle weakness including the diaphragm leads to biomechanical change in respiration which can reduce vital capacity and total lung capacity of stroke patients. The weakness of diaphragm and abdominal muscle also leads to decrease in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) in stroke patients. Respiratory muscle training such as inspiratory or expiratory muscle training is commonly used to improve the respiratory muscle strength and function in stroke. However, it was reported that respiration is closely related to upper limb function because the muscle of upper extremities surrounds the dorsal muscle of trunk and in order to breath, the movement of trunk is necessary, which in turn is related to the movement of the upper limbs.
This study aimed to examine trunk and lower extremity biomechanics among children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). It was targeted to pioneer including biomechanical changes into treatment if detected in the trunk and lower extremities of children. Voluntary participants meeting inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the LUTD group (n=43) and the healthy group (n=43). No treatment was applied to participants and the same evaluation methods were used in both groups. Trunk muscle strength, muscle endurance, posture, flexibility, and pelvic floor muscle activity of participants was evaluated with stabilizer pressurized biofeedback unit, sit-ups and modified push-ups test; trunk flexors endurance test and Modified Biering Sorensen Test; Posture Screen Mobile And Foot Posture Index; sit-reach-test and Beighton Score; and NeuroTrac-Myoplus4Pro, respectively. In addition, the quality of life of participants was evaluated with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).
The aim of study is to investigate the effects of active external warming of patient concurrently with application of ice to incision site on thoracotomy pain and analgesic consumption. The research is a quasi-experimental design with control and study groups.
Background and aim: The use of smartphones, which has reached the level of addiction causes some physical and psychological health problems. The aim was to examine the musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and upper extremities of mobile phone addiction in a population of young adults. Methods: The study is a cross sectional research conducted on students of a university in İstanbul between December 2018-October 2020. The level of addiction was assessed with the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form (SAS-SF). The posture of participants was evaluated by New York Posture Rating Chart (NYPRC), mostly usage smartphone posture, forward head and myofascial trigger points were questioned according to Simon and Travel criteria. Mann-Whitney U test Pearson's chi-squared test were used for analyzing the data.
