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.
In peripheral blood; monocytes and macrophages are found in two phenotype; proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. M2 form is converted (or polarized) to M1 phenotype in various metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Null hypothesis of the trial is that there is no difference between solifenacin and oxybutynin with respect to efficacy, side effects, patient satisfaction and quality of life measures in patients with overactive bladder.
Back pain is a common hormonal disorder in men that may affect the phases of male sexual function. The investigators investigated sexual function in male patients with back pain. A total of 54 men with back pain and 27 age matched voluntary healthy men who served as the as control group were evaluated with a detailed medical and sexual history, including a international erectile function index (IEFI) questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory. Serum prolactin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, free testosterone, androstenedione, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, estradiol, free thyroxin and thyrotropin were measured. These variables were compared statistically between the 2 groups.
Turkish Acquired Haemophilia Registry is a database in which information about clinical features and therapeutic management of acquired haemophilia is collected in Turkey.This is a multicentre, retrospective and prospective registry of subjects diagnosed and/or treated for acquired haemophilia. Patients will be registered and the response to different therapies, details of each bleeding episode and the outcome of haemostatic and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) will be recorded. Any male or female subject diagnosed with inhibitors to FVIII or other factors and treated for acquired haemophilia can be entered on the registry. Patients will be treated according to local practice. No additional tests or procedures are required by the registry. The retrospective period will not be time-limited and data will be collected from those recorded in the hospital notes. The prospective period will begin in September 1.2011, and will last for two years.
According to our experimental experiences w hypothesized that blood boron levels may be corralated to body mass index.
Sclerostin, the product of the SOST gene, located on chromosome 17, locus q11.2 in humans, was originally believed to be a non-classical Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist.Sclerostin was recently identified as a component of parathyroid hormone (PTH) signal transduction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism.New advances in the pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) change the perspective from which many of its features and treatment are viewed. Calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D have been shown to be important determinants of survival associated with kidney diseases. Now ROD dependent and independent of these factors is linked to survival more than just skeletal frailty.Furthermore, ROD is shown to be an underappreciated factor in the level of the serum phosphorus in CKD. The discovery and the elucidation of the mechanism of hyperphosphatemia as a cardiovascular risk in CKD change the view of ROD. Emerging current data suggests a promising role for serum measurements of sclerostin in addition to iPTH in the diagnosis of high bone turnover in chronic kidney disease-5D patients (dialysis patients). Because of the close relationship between ROD and cardiovascular disease, the aim of this study is to investigate the association between sclerostin, arteriovenous fistula thrombosis, echocardiography and carpal tunnel syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral and mesenteric oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique the investigators investigated the effect of mydriatic eye drops on cerebral and mesenteric oxygenation in preterm infants
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lornoxicam or paracetamol is more effective in providing pre-emptive analgesia for adult patients undergoing elective unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative hemodialysis or intraoperative modified ultrafiltration are effective for patients with non-dialysis dependent severe renal dysfunction undergoing open heart surgery.
We proposed to compare outcomes in women with DOR undergoing ART with rec-FSH + u-HMH with those with u-FSH only in GnRH antagonist protocols.
