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.
The aim of this study was to investigate the factors related to cognitive status in elderly individuals living in the community. A total of 841 elderly (female: 422, male: 419) living in the community were included in this cross-sectional study. The sociodemographic information of the elderly was recorded. In addition, cognitive status, quality of life, depression and musculoskeletal pain were questioned. The classification and regression tree analysis was used to identify factors associated with cognitive status. Age, depression, quality of life, neck pain, and headache were determinative on the cognitive status of the elderly. Knowing the factors related to cognitive status in elderly individuals living in the community is very important in terms of early diagnosis of factors that may affect the quality of life of these individuals.
Although various pharmacological methods have been used for heel puncture, their effectiveness has not been demonstrated. However, their use is limited due to their sedating effects, toxic effects, and respiratory depressant properties. In this sense, the use of non-pharmacological methods has been examined. Non-pharmacological methods have no side effects, are cheap, and are easily available/applicable. For these reasons, the fact that non-pharmacological methods (appropriate positioning, mother's lap, mother's voice, white noise, oral sucrose, classical music) have been frequently used in recent years, especially during painful interventions. Based on this information, the study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to compare the effects of holding the baby in the mother's arms, hearing white noise and mother's voice, or using them in combination during heel blood collection from healthy newborns.
The investigators' goal is to perform an observational cohort study investigating the use of oxygen reserve index (ORi) in patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery and one-lung ventilation (OLV). For this purpose, ORi values are recorded and compared to the other collected hemodynamical and oximeter parameters. The primary hemodynamic parameters include heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), while; oximeter device-related parameters include peripheral oxygen saturation, perfusion index (PI), and pleth variability index (PVI). The investigators' secondary goal is to investigate relationships between these hemodynamical and oximeter parameters using statistical analysis methods.
Low back pain is a common problem in society and causes loss of workforce. Its lifetime prevalence reaches 80% and annual hospital admission rates in the adult population reach 15%.Most studies on motor imagery suggested the effects of motor imagery are related to neuroplastic changes in the brain. Studies have shown that similar brain regions are activated during motor imagery and real movement. However, the level of evidence about the effect of motor imagery on autonomic functions is limited. Today, interest in telerehabilitation has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of telerehabilitation-based motor imagery training in patients with non-specific low back pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic performance of zirconia and stainless steel crowns on permanent molar
The tooth of the patient who applies to the clinic for the impacted wisdom tooth will be classified according to Escoda's difficulty classification. Before the extraction, patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer will be measured. Operation time will be recorded. After the operation, on 4th-day patients' patients' interincisal, tragus-commissural, and lateral canthus-angulus distances, Oral Health Impact Profile -14 (OHIP-14) scores, and serum levels of CRP and D-Dimer and Visual Analogue Scale (for pain) scores will be measured and recorded. On the 10th day, all these measurements will be repeated. All recorded data will be evaluated for possible correlations based on extraction difficulties.
DESTINY-Lung04 will investigate the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) versus Standard of Care (SoC) as first-line treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with HER2 Exon 19 or 20 mutations
Purpose/reason of the research: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament in maintaining knee function. In patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, concomitant intra-articular lesions are usually seen. It has been reported that approximately 43% of all patients with ACL tears have associated lateral or medial meniscal injuries. Injury associated with a tear of the meniscotibial ligament in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is defined as a RAMP lesion. Because the RAMP lesion is located within the posteromedial "blind spot", it has historically been underdiagnosed. It has been reported that 9-17% of all ACL tears have RAMP lesions. RAMP lesions have been found to increase the force on the ACL. Injury to the meniscotibial ligaments has been shown to increase rotational instability of the knee. Based on the available literature, there is a discrepancy between authors regarding the repair of a RAMP lesion during an acute ACL surgery. In chronic ACL rupture, some authors have suggested that the RAMP lesion has a suitable biological environment for healing. thinks. However, excessive mobility of the meniscocapsular junction has been reported in RAMP lesions during knee flexion and extension. It has been suggested that these lesions are different from other peripheral tears and are not suitable for spontaneous healing. It is suggested that meniscal RAMP lesion repair will be the most effective approach. Rehabilitation after repair of a RAMP lesion depends on whether the repair is performed concurrently with ACL surgery. When performed with an ACL surgery, the process is followed according to the ACL rehabilitation protocol. Even if the functionality of the knee is fully restored in the post-ACL surgery period, not all patients can return to their previous level of sportive performance due to various psychological, social and physiological factors. In the literature, different information can be found as criteria for returning to sports after ACL surgery. The rate of returning to sports was reported as 65-88% in patients with ACL reconstruction, and 19-82% in patients who were followed conservatively. However, there are few studies with short- or long-term follow-up after the identification and treatment of RAMP lesions. Accordingly, our aim in this study is to comprehensively evaluate the return to sports of participants who have undergone isolated anterior cruciate ligament surgery and who have had simultaneous RAMP lesion repair with anterior cruciate ligament surgery. This assessment will provide the opportunity to examine functional capacity, balance, psychological state, activity level and pain with different measurement methods. Material and method of the research: The study will consist of 2 groups, including 12 participants who have undergone isolated ACL surgery and 12 participants who have had simultaneous RAMP lesion repair in Istanbul Medipol Mega Hospitals Complex Orthopedics and Traumatology Unit, with a total of 24 participants.
In this study, we aimed to compare, retrospectively, the 15-day continuous hemodynamic, laboratory and clinical course of COVID 19 patients to whom we administered short-term (3 days) high-dose (1000 mg) systemic methylprednisolone with those to whom low-dose long-term (2x 40 mg) systemic methylprednisolone was administered.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn whether the study medicine prevent symptoms of COVID-19 in adults who have been exposed to household member(s) with a confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 infection. All participants in the study will receive treatment for COVID-19 as needed, based on their regular doctor's recommendation. Two-thirds of participants will also receive two study medicines (PF-07321332 and ritonavir) by mouth twice a day for either five or ten days. We will compare the experiences of people receiving the study medicines to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if the study medicines are safe and effective
