This study is planned prospectively in pregnancies who applied to Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Women's Health Care, Training and Research Hospital which is a teritiary hospital with 15.000 births anually, between January 2022 and January 2023. Cerclage treatment will be performed with the McDonald technique (the type of cerclage suture will be mersilene) between the 16-23 weeks of gestation in pregnant women with a diagnosis of cervical insufficiency based on the history , physical examination or ultrasound findings according to ACOG. The investigators will measure cerclage area after cerclage treatment (within 0-4 weeks) and different parameters besides it by transvaginal ultrasound. It will be whether the collected data is related to the incidence of preterm birth.
Social isolation rules applied to prevent and control COVID-19 disease reduce cross-infection, exposure to more allergens in the home environment, reducing hospital admissions by avoiding contamination, asthma control, fear of COVID-19 and physical activity for reasons such as increased anxiety and lack of exercise. How it will affect is unclear. Considering all these, positive or negative changes in asthma-related risk factors, changes in physical activity level, asthma attacks and control, fear of COVID-19 will be examined and contribute to the literature in children with asthma.
Multitasking (Dual Task) is a measurement method to evaluate cognitive ability to execute multiple functions at the same time. To perform this test, while participant/patient performing a main skill (for example, walking), a cognitive skill is added (for example, counting 7 backwards from 100) to measure how much the completion performance of the activity is affected. Frequently used multitasking trainings are known as counting back from 100 and asking mathematical equations during a physical skill. Multitasking skill is rarely used in sports-related training, and it is generally used in the form of counting 7 backwards from 100, counting months and counting 5-letter words while walking over obstacles. However, multitasking training methods described and applied in the literature are not specific to football skills. For this reason, limited tests defined and applied in other clinical and sportive fields may not be sufficient in football players who perform activities that require high performance. Therefore, aim of this study is to develop a dual-task assessment method, which includes the cognitive loads experienced by football players during training and matches, and also covers the basic skills of football. As a result of this study, a football-specific dual-task test will be created and the capacity of the athletes will be measured by applying this test to healthy athletes. Also, this test will be conducted on football players with recent knee injury history, who wish to return to sport, and to evaluate their dual-task capacity and to correlate it with kinesiophobia and other performance tests
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the demonstrability of increased inflammation and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in relapse period compared to MS patients in remission by cross-sectional analysis of in-vivo corneal confocal microscopy (IVCM), and to evaluate the alternations with a second IVCM administered at least 6 months after the relapse period. Methods: This prospective, non-randomized-controlled, cross-sectional study included 58 MS patients which were grouped regarding the presence of relapse (MS-Relapse group [n=27] and MS-Control group [n=31]), and age-sex matched 30 healthy controls (HC). The corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD), the corneal nerve branch density (CNBD), the corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL), and dendritic cell (DC) density were evaluated in all MS patients and HCs by IVCM. If the patients in the MS-relapse group did not have an attack within 6 months, the same parameters were evaluated with the second IVCM. The patients with a history of optic neuritis or trigeminal symptoms were excluded.
The fact that an individual has a physical, social or mental disability affects not only the individual, but also the close environment of the individual and even the society in which he lives. Those who are most affected by this situation in the society are undoubtedly the caregivers. Caregivers of individuals with disabilities experience more anxiety than other caregivers, spare less time for themselves, and participate in less physical and social activities. As a result of social, physical and emotional burdens on parents and other caregivers of disabled individuals, low quality of life, unhealthy family function and negative psychological conditions are observed in caregivers, especially stress. Problems related to financial situation, exclusion from social environment, psychological state, sense of burnout and educational status are among the other problems experienced by caregivers. The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to examine the effects of technology supported yoga applied to caregivers of individuals with special needs on care burden, quality of life and psychological well-being. Research data will be collected from the caregivers of individuals with special needs registered in a Guidance and Research Center in a province. The data of the study will be collected using the Socio-demographic Data Collection Form, the Caregiver Burden Scale, the Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The study is in a randomized controlled design. SPSS 25.0 program will be used in the data analysis of the research. Descriptive data will be analyzed using number, percentage, mean, standard deviations. Spearman test will be applied to determine the correlations between the scale scores. of groups Homogeneity in terms of descriptive statistics will be analyzed with the Kolmogorov Smirnov Test. Student t or Mann Whitney U tests will be used to compare numerical data in two independent groups, and One-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis tests will be used for comparisons in more than two independent groups. Relationships between categorical variables will be tested with chi-square test and relationships between numerical variables will be tested with correlation coefficient. The significance level will be accepted as 0.05. The power and effect size of the study will be calculated by regression analysis.
Studies reveal that the Covid-19 virus can be transmitted in three ways: respiratory tract, direct contact and feces. The incubation period is estimated to be 5.2 [4.1-7.0] days for the 95% confidence interval and the virus transmission coefficient (R0) baseline growth number is 2.2 [1.4-3.9]. The main signs and symptoms described in the literature are; other atypical symptoms, particularly fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia or fatigue (44%); sputum (28%), headache (8%), hemoptysis (5%), vomiting (5%), diarrhea (3%) and shortness of breath were detected. In addition to lymphopenia, which is detected in 63% of cases, pneumonia is also present. Widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise training is the best way to improve muscle function in COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases. After 326 patients hospitalized in the pandemic clinical services of a public hospital were randomly divided into the experimental (n=168) and control groups (n=168), the effect of the experiment on the respiratory parameters of the experiment will be monitored without any intervention in the control group, while deep breathing and coughing exercises will be applied to the experimental group. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing and coughing exercises on respiratory parameters in patients treated for pneumonia due to COVID-19 disease.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also called "tic douloureux", is the most common form of craniofacial neuropathic pain and is considered the cause of one of the most painful afflictions known in medical practice. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1.5mg - 3.5mg basimglurant in adults with TN.
Fear experienced at the time of birth and after birth is considered as fear of childbirth. If the fear occurred before pregnancy or if the pregnancy increases the severity of the fear, this can lead to "Tocophobia". When the literature is examined; In addition to birth preparation education, different methods such as cognitive behavioral theory, analytical theory, psychodrama, haptotherapy and art therapy groups have been found to be effective in reducing fear of birth. No study has been found in the literature on the effect of mandala on fear of birth and birth outcomes. By reducing the women's fear of childbirth of this study; It is predicted that it will reduce the need for medical intervention at birth, increase the normal birth rate, have a more positive birth experience and contribute to the well-being of postpartum women.
