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.
This study evaluates the metabolic control status, cardiovascular risk and frequency of comorbidities in diabetic patients followed in tertiary treatment centers in Turkey.
Thirty volunteer patients diagnosed with scoliosis by a specialist physician at Gazi University Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Department and subsequently referred to Gazi University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department for exercise training will be included in the study. The lumbar Pressure Measurement Test with Stabilizer and Rotation Stability Tests will be utilized to evaluate the spinal stability of the patients. Body awareness will be assessed using the Body Awareness Survey, comprising 18 questions. All assessments will be conducted at the Orthopedic Rehabilitation Clinic within the relevant department. The results obtained from this study will elucidate the relationship between body awareness and spinal stability in individuals with scoliosis.
Abdominal bloating and distension (ABD) are the most commonly gastrointestinal symptoms reported by patients with various functional gut disorders such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and it is frequently associated with constipation. The pathophysiology of ABD is complex, often multifactorial and poorly understood. The reseach was hypothesised that short-term self-manual approaches and exercise for core muscles would have a positive effect on the symptoms of ABD.
The concepts of the Both Column Fixation Corridor (BCFC) and Both Column Screws (BCS) have emerged as innovative approaches in orthopedic surgery yet have not been extensively explored in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and potential advantages of this novel screw fixation technique, thereby filling the existing gap in knowledge and establishing standards for its application.
Self-management of chronic diseases requires the ability to manage the symptoms, treatment, and lifestyle changes inherent in living with a chronic disease. Rational drug use by older adults is of particular importance. Mobile applications are being developed to facilitate the compliance of older adults with chronic diseases with medication treatment and to increase their disease self-management skills. The research was planned to strengthen participation in social life through rational drug use and disease self-care management in older adults with chronic diseases. The research will be conducted in a parallel group randomized controlled manner. In the research, a mobile application will be developed for the use of older adults. Older adults will be asked to use the mobile application for at least 6 months, and the scales will be re-administered face to face or online in the 3rd and 6th months of the intervention.
Abdominal surgery causes severe postoperative pain due to retraction of the abdominal wall and direct manipulation of visceral organs. It leads to delayed postoperative recovery, increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Intrathecal morphine, epidural analgesia and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia are used in postoperative pain management of abdominal surgeries. Intrathecal morphine is frequently used in many centers because it provides effective pain control. However; morphine has undesirable effects such as urinary retention, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and respiratory depression. Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach is a technique defined by the modification of the thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach, in which local anesthetics are delivered only to the underside of the perichondral surface. The primary implication of this study is to compare postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery with intrathecal morphine or modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach.
In the study, Class II restorations will be performed with G-aenial Universal Injectable (GC/ Tokyo, Japan), Grandio Flow (VOCO/ Germany), and Clearfil Majesty Flow (Kuraray/ Japan) composites will evaluated. Restorations will be assessed according to modified USPHS criteria in 1st week, 6th months, and 12th months from the placement date. The Chi-square test will used for statistical analysis of the difference between the groups, and the Cochran Q test will used for the significance of the difference between time-dependent changes within each group (p<0.05).
This study aimed to evaluate the 12-month clinical performance of direct composite restorations by placing polyethylene fibers in different directions in endodontically treated posterior teeth. In this clinical study, Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray/Japan) adhesive system, G-aenial Universal Injectable (GC/Tokyo, Japan), G-aenial A'chord (GC/Tokyo, Japan) composites, and polyethylene fiber (Ribbond, USA) were used. In the restoration of the teeth included in the study, polyethylene fiber was placed in different directions according to the amount of remaining tooth tissue and cavity preparation. The restorations were divided into three groups according to the direction of fiber placement ('O' shape, mesiodistal I shape, buccolingual I shape) (n=12). Restorations were evaluated according to modified USPHS criteria in 1st week and 6th months from the placement date. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis of the difference between the groups, and the Cochran Q test was used for the significance of the difference between time-dependent changes within each group (p<0.05).
This study aims to evaluate the one-year clinical performance of Class II restorations made with high-filling injectable and condensable universal composite resins. The study included 71 patients and 140 restorations. It used G-aenial Universal Injectable (GCI), G-aenial A'CHORD (GCA), Tetric Prime (TP), Filtek Ultimate (FU) composites, and the Clearfil SE Bond adhesive system. Restorations were evaluated and scored according to modified USPHS criteria at seven days, six months, and one year. Chi-square and Cochran Q tests were used for statistical analysis (p<0.05).
Total knee prosthesis (TKP); It is a surgical treatment used in the management of functional limitations and severe pain occurring on the degenerated joint surface as a result of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis and other nonspecific arthritis. Nursing care is of great importance in the success of TKP surgery. Reducing pain, preventing complications, increasing self-care ability, and improving the quality of life by improving postoperative knee functions are the main goals of postoperative nursing care. In order to achieve these goals, patients and their relatives need to receive training on home care in the post-operative period before discharge. With the increasing use of mobile technologies in daily life and the increasing adoption of e-health, the opportunity for people to improve their self-management skills through e-health is increasing. Mobile Health (m-Health) provides convenience in many areas such as educating the public, warning about potential diseases and disease risks, and communicating with messages, notifications and video when necessary. It also affects the way nursing services are delivered and provides great benefits in the delivery of nursing services. For all these reasons, it was aimed to examine the effect of mobile application-supported care given to patients with total knee prosthesis on functional status and self-care ability.
