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 the realm of sports performance, particularly in disciplines demanding explosive lower-body strength and agility, such as basketball, an athlete's ability to execute powerful and high-reaching jumps plays a pivotal role. Optimal lower-extremity flexibility, particularly in the hamstrings, is crucial for achieving maximum vertical jump height. Hamstring shortness, characterized by limited flexibility and reduced muscle extensibility, is frequently observed among athletes and has been linked to compromised jump performance.
It is important for healthcare professionals to be sensitive to the needs of patients undergoing urinary catheterization. Patients and their relatives should be educated, guided and supported by nurses and other healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of education given to patients with urinary catheterization on urinary catheter self-care management and urinary tract infection status. is planned as an experimental research.
The purpose of the research conducted within the scope of the doctoral thesis study is to evaluate the effect of cervical traction applied at the end of the third stage of childbirth on the oxytocin level and postpartum bleeding (hemoglobin level, estimated blood loss, and amount of bleeding measured with a bleeding tracking bag). The study included 100 women in the intervention group and 100 women in the control group, all of whom met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected throughout the research via an Introduction Information Form, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit Measurement, Calculation of Estimated Blood Loss (modified formula of Gross (1983)), Oxytocin Measurement, and Measurement of bleeding amount with the Bleeding Tracking Bag. Blood was drawn twice from all participating women. The hemoglobin levels of the women were determined with these collected blood samples, and the change before and after the application was identified. Additionally, the oxytocin hormone in the blood was also examined. The change in oxytocin hormone levels before and after application, the difference between groups, and the change within the women themselves were identified. Besides this, the Bleeding Tracking Bag was placed under the women after the birth of the fetus and the amount of bleeding was measured. The Bleeding Tracking Bag was placed under the woman after the placenta was expelled, left for 15 minutes, and the amount of blood accumulated in the bag was recorded in "ml". "Hemoglobin and Hematocrit measurement" was performed when the woman was in the obstetrics ward, when cervical dilatation was 10 cm, and at the end of the 6th hour after birth. Blood taken into the purple cap EDTA tube was delivered daily to an external special laboratory. For determining the "oxytocin" level, 5 ml of blood was taken into the gel blood collection tube when cervical dilatation was 10 cm. After placing the bleeding tracking bag under the woman, cervical traction was applied to the intervention group for 90 seconds. To determine the effect on the oxytocin level after 15 minutes (990 seconds) of applying traction, a second 5 ml blood was taken into the gel blood collection tube. The blood taken was centrifuged by the researcher (PhD student) for 10 minutes and separated into its serum. The separated serums were pipetted into a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube and stored at -80°C after labeling the tubes.
The current study aims to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory biomarkers and local inflammatory biomarkers on OCT in patients with treatment resistant diabetic macular edema(DME) and further explore the associations with treatment outcomes.
This study aims to evaluate the changes in the stability of implants of the same macro-design placed with particle grafting in the fresh extraction socket, without grafting and placed in healed implant sites.
Investigators measured the placenta, fetal liver and ductus venosus volumes of pregnant women with GDM diagnosis and normal glycemic indices in the second trimester.Investigators aimed to correlate measurements with maternal/fetal outcomes and evaluate their success in predicting poor obstetric outcomes
The goal of this randomised control type of study is to examine the effects of Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones on self-care and metabolic control. The Hypotheses of the Study: H1: Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones has a positive impact on individuals' self-care. H2: Video Diabetes Training given to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes through smartphones has a positive impact on individuals' metabolic control variables. Participants will answer the data collection tools in the first and second interviews and metabolic control variables will be record. Diabetes training videos will sent to the Training Group through smartphones after the first meeting as two episodes a week. Video Diabetes Training given to training group will be examine the effects of on self-care and metabolic control.
One of the most undesired side effects of fixed orthodontic treatment is white spot lesions (WSLs), that appear on the buccal surface of teeth and cause aesthetic problems. The aim of this prospective study was to quantitively evaluate the remineralization effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium fluorophosphate (CPP-ACFP) containing (MI Paste Plus®) and hydroxyapatite, xylitol and fluoride containing (Remin Pro®) agents in remineralizing post orthodontics white spots using Quantitive Light-Induced Fluorescence Method (QLF) and ICDAS II criteria, compared to a control group in whom just a routine home care was instructed. Thirty-nine individuals who had recently completed orthodontic treatment, had at least one WSL on upper anterior teeth and aged between 12-25 years were included. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups of 13 each; (1) MI Paste Plus + routine home care; (2) Remin Pro + routine home care; and (3) routine home care (control). The treatment/ observation period was 12 weeks after bracket debonding. Fluorescence loss (∆F, %), lesion area (LA, mm2), lesion volume (∆Q, % × mm2), maximum fluorescence loss (∆Fmax), ICDAS II criteria of WSLs were measured at beginning (T0) and 4 (T1), 8 (T2), and 12 (T3) weeks later. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effectiveness of the split-box technique in systemically healthy, non-smoking, over 18 years of age, participants with narrow crests (<5mm bone width) and adequate bone height (>12mm). The main questions it aims to answer are: - The primary objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of the split-box technique by evaluating the change in width and height of the alveolar bone. - The secondary objective is to evaluate the superiority of the split-box technique and its modifications in terms of the amount of bone gain. According to the 3D topography of the alveolar ridge of the patients before augmentation, split box or one of its modifications, reverse split box or sliding split box techniques were selected and applied. (split box was applied if the bone thickness was more than 3 mm at the top of the crest and did not increase towards the lower border at the alveolar bone, reverse split box technique was applied if the bone thickness was more than 3 mm at the top of the crest and increased towards the lower border at the alveolar bone, sliding split box was applied if the bone thickness was less than 3 mm at the top of the crest but the bone thickness increases towards the lower border at the alveolar bone.)
In this study the plan is to compare the circumcision performed with Alisklamp versus Dorsal Slit Sleeve method in terms of age, co-existing health conditions, surgery time, recovery period, tissue edema and bleeding, postoperative infection, wound healing, wound dehiscence, skin tunnel, and overall complications.
