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.
Controlled ventilation is applied to patients intubated for general anesthesia. Additionally, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and pressure support are mechanical ventilation modes that have been used in general anesthesia practice for many years. When the recovery-extubation phase is reached, intermittent bag-mask ventilation is usually used and the patient is allowed to breathe spontaneously and is extubated when an adequate respiratory level is reached. It has been shown in previous studies that the use of intermittent mask ventilation causes postoperative atelectasis. Different methods have been used to prevent postoperative atelectasis. In our study, we aimed to observe the effect of terminating general anesthesia at the end of the operation and using PEEP and pressure-supported ventilation during the extubation phase on early complications.
Research has reported that the reasons for low implementation of CR are multifactorial at the health system, physician and patient levels. It has also been found that patients are more likely to initiate CR if physicians strongly and positively promote the importance of CR participation. Unfortunately, there are insufficient and ineffective data on CR, referral to CR and both clinical and cost-effectiveness outcomes of CR in Turkey. In this context, it is important to examine more objectively from the perspective of physicians who play a key role in referring patients to CR. However, in our country, there is no relatively objective measurement tool to evaluate physicians' attitudes towards CR. Therefore, this study aims to adapt the original "Physician Attitudes towards Cardiac Rehabilitation and Referral Scale-Revised (PACRR-R)" into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the common chronic diseases in childhood. Problems such as weakness or pain may occur in JIA, especially in the joints and the muscles around the trunk (1). These conditions may lead to abnormal displacement of the center of gravity, deterioration of biomechanics, and muscle imbalance in children with JIA (2, 3). All these situations can lead to scoliosis, which we often encounter in children with JIA. Current studies describing various 3-dimension (3D) exercise methods (SEAS, Schroth, Dobomed, BSPTS, Side-shift, Lyon, etc.) effective on scoliosis (4). However, no study was found in the literature that searching the effects of these exercise methods on gait parameters in children with scoliosis diagnosed JIA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of radial and focused ESWT treatment on pain, function, and size of the calcaneal spur in patients with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of epin calcanei. Methods: A total of 112 patients aged between 18 and 95 years were randomly divided into two groups: group 1 received rESWT (2.4 bar 12 hz 2000 beats), and group 2 received fESWT (0.14 bar 14 hz 1000 beats) three times a week for three weeks. All patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)-pain and Foot Function Index (FFI) before and after the treatment, at 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Epin size was measured radiographically in the patients before and after the treatment at the 12-week follow-up.
Epicardial fat thickness, carotid intima-media thickness, and augmentation index from arterial stiffness indicators are increased in children with T1DM compared to the healthy control group. These results support the idea that children with T1DM present significant changes in important subclinical indicators for the development of cardiovascular disease.
In this study, it will be investigated whether a daily 30-minute walk or abdominal breathing exercise is more effective on chronic constipation.
The study is conducted based on a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of an audio book and local vibration on intramuscular injection in pediatric emergency unit patients aged 4-6 years on pain and fear.
The SENSE program will be applied to babies receiving treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit and the effect of the application on the baby and parents will be examined.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between healing response after non-surgical periodontal treatment and baseline gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß).
