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.
Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) is a popular regional anaesthetic technique for surgical procedures involving the hip joint and femur. The FICB may be thought of as an anterior approach to the lumbar plexus where local anaesthetic is injected proximally beneath the fascia iliaca, with the aim of blocking the femoral nerve ,obturator nerve and lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh simultaneously. In addition to providing effective analgesia, peripheral nerve blocks are increasingly preferred especially in frail patient groups such as the geriatric population which femoral fractures are the most common, because of their advantages such as avoiding the complications of neuraxial anesthesia and the side effects of opioids. FICB can be applied with ultrasound-guided suprainguinal or infrainguinal approaches. Studies on the superiority of the two methods used in clinical practice are limited. In this study, it is aimed to compare the suprainguinal (Group S) and infrainguinal (Group I) approaches of FICB applied in the preoperative period in femoral fractures in which spinal anesthesia method was chosen. These two methods will be compared in terms of postoperative pain scores (11-point numeric scale), morphine consumption (by intravenous patient controlled analgesia for postoperative 24 hours) and possible side effects-complications.
Early identification of a patient with infection who may develop sepsis is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, this remains elusive because no single clinical measure or test can reflect complex pathophysiological changes in patients with sepsis. However, multiple clinical and laboratory parameters indicate impending sepsis and organ dysfunction. Screening tools using these parameters can help identify the condition, such as SIRS, quick SOFA (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), or Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). The 2016 SCCM/ESICM task force recommended using qSOFA, while the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign strongly recommended against its use compared with SIRS, NEWS, or MEWS as a single screening tool for sepsis or septic shock. We hypothesised that qSOFA has greater prognostic accuracy than SIRS and EWS (NEWS/NEWS2/MEWS).
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education of dental students in Turkey, the reasons that affect the psychological attitudes of students towards this disease, stress factors and the effect of these factors on vaccine acceptance. Methods: The survey was applied online and consisted of questions aimed to find out the demographic characteristics, educational status, anxiety-stress factors, and reasons for students' decision behind COVID-19 vaccine administration. The psychological impact of COVID-19 was assessed by means of the Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7). Standard descriptive statistics, the chi-square test and independent samples t test were used for statistical analysis.
This is a phase 3 open-label multicenter extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Lonapegsomatropin administered once-weekly. The study participants are adults (males and females) with confirmed growth hormone deficiency (GHD) having completed the treatment period in study TCH-306 (foresiGHt).
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of mosunetuzumab in combination with polatuzumab vedotin (M+P) in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma (trFL) and FL Grade 3B (FL3B) in comparison with a commonly used regimen in this participant population, rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx).
Colectomy is life-saving in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) because cancer development is inevitable in individuals with this disease. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of incidental malignancy in surgical specimens from patients who underwent colectomy for FAP. Prophylactic colectomy should be performed in patients with FAP, as colorectal cancer transformation is inevitable in these individuals. The possibility of incidental cancer identified via histopathological analysis of colectomy specimens should be kept in mind in these patients.
Third molar surgery is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery and the most common postoperative complications are swelling, pain, and trismus. This study aims to evaluate the postoperative morbidity (pain, swelling, and trismus) in third molar surgery performed using different degrees of cooled and room temperature irrigation solutions.
Our study aimed to examine the effects of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block in radical prostatectomy surgery on pain and surgical stress response, to reduce adrenocortical and sympathetic discharge due to anesthesia and surgery, and to reduce peroperative opioid analgesic consumption.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple therapies in participants with locally advanced, unresectable, Stage III NSCLC with eligible biomarker status as determined by Version 8 of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control NSCLC staging system.
In this study, the effect of sensory discrimination training on cortical reorganization, pain and functionality in chronic nonspecific low back pain in which central sensitization is dominant will be investigated.
