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 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 doses of Trumenba® (on a 0- and 6-month schedule) in immunocompromised participants by functionally assessing antibody production in asplenic and complement-deficient individuals ≥10 years of age.
Although its safety and efficacy in the COVID-19 patient population are still unclear, tocilizumab is one of treatment. Tocilizumab is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved IL-6 receptor antagonist widely used to treat CRS secondary to the chimeric antigen receptor T cell. In this study the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of Tocilizumab, an IL-6 antagonist administered in the early period in intensive care patients with COVID-19 pneumonia followed by hypoxic and systemic inflammation is predominant, but who do not support mechanical ventilation.
Having knowledge and awareness about pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor dysfunctions makes it easier for individuals to understand their own body and the treatment provided to them by healthcare professionals (Fante, 2019). In the literature, there are studies investigating the knowledge and awareness levels of different participant groups about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions (Parden, 2016; Hill, 2017; Falvey, 2020). It has been shown that most women lack knowledge of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, do not understand treatment options for the pelvic floor, and are unable to identify risk factors (Fante, 2019). A Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Quiz was created by Al-Deges in order to evaluate the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunction in women and men in our country (Al-Deges, 2019). In line with this information, the aim of our study is to determine the level of knowledge about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions in women and men of different age groups. The target audience of our research is male and female individuals over the age of 18, and our research will be conducted online. As a result of the information we obtained from our research, the level of knowledge of individuals living in our country about pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunctions will be determined and the literature will be contributed. In addition, by determining the missing information of the society about the pelvic floor, contribution will be made to the development of appropriate intervention methods in order to eliminate the deficiencies in this area and to increase the level of awareness.
Our aim is to objectively analyze the effects of the non-vascularized autograft taken from the radius and the dorsal and volar surgical approach on the preop and postop wrist kinematics and the movements we use frequently in daily life, and to present the results.
31 CF patients and 23 healthy sex and age-matched volunteers were enrolled. All subjects underwent pulmonary function tests, 6-minute walking tests. Body Mass Index and Fat Free Mass Index were measured via a body composition analyser. Diaphragm ultrasonography (to measure thickening fraction), quadriceps femoris muscle ultrasonography were performed. A dynamometer was used to measure each subjects handgrip strength.
This study compared the effect of the detailed video visual information and basic verbal information on patients' anxiety levels (using anxiety scales) before endodontic treatment and stress levels (using electrodermal activity method) during endodontic treatment.
Background: Postdural puncture headache (PDPH), which is one of the complications of spinal anesthesia, is a condition that negatively affects the quality of life of patients, causes late mobilization and prolonged hospital stay. Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SGB) has created a minimally invasive, easy, and safe treatment alternative. Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of topical SGB on PDPH treatment. Design: Retrospective observational study Setting: Single center tertiary level of care hospital study. The files of PDPH patients between Jan 2018 and Jan 2020 were scanned. Patients: PDPH patients aged 18-65 are included and any patients with primary/secondary headache history are excluded. Main outcome measures: Patients were divided into 2 groups. The group that given only conservative treatment was named as Group C, and the group of patients who had additionally been applied SGB was named as Group SGB. Headache severity was measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at the 1st,3rd, 12th and 24th hours of the treatment, in supine and upright position.
Headache is the most common neurological complaint accounting for % 1 to % 4 in the emergency department (ED).Every year, nearly one million people with headache attacks have been consulted by healthcare professionals at the emergency room in the United States.The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) divided headaches into two main groups: primary headaches and secondary headaches. The vast majority of cases who presented with acute headache attack in ED had a diagnosis of primary headache disorders (tension- type headache, migraine, cluster- type headache, and other primary headaches). However, secondary headache is often associated with underlying intracranial pathologies, and noted in % 10 of cases in emergency rooms. Despite the frequent presence of primary headaches, limited time setting and busy periods of medical assessment, leading diagnostic and therapeutic options due to the pathophysiological factors to be overlooked. To date, no study in the emergency care setting has explored the role of inflammation in patients with acute migraine and TTH. Investigators aimed to explore inflammatory markers [white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR)] in complete blood count (CBC) among MA, MO, and TTH participants who admitted to ED with acute headache attack and healthy volunteers.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder. There is a bidirectional association between periodontal disease and DM. Currently there is no data relationship between CSF-1 and IL-34, periodontal disease and diabetes.The aim of this study to investigate GCF levels of IL-34 and CSF-1 in periodontitis subjects with diabetes.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation, demyelination and axonal loss of the central nervous system. The etiology of the disease is not known exactly and possible causes are; genetic, vitamin D deficiency, viral, environmental and autoimmune factors have been identified. Common findings of MS are in the literature; sensory, visual problems, fatigue, urinary retention / incontinence, motor problems (inability to walk, upper extremity skills, coordination and balance problems), cognitive deficits, tone, speech and swallowing disorders. In the rehabilitation of MS; It is seen that balance, coordination, strengthening, aerobic and neurodevelopmental exercise methods are used and these approaches have reached moderate / high level evidence in the literature. Task-oriented circuit therapy(TOECT), one of the current neurophysiology-based approaches; It is a motor learning-based exercise approach based on the theory of dynamic systems, one of the theories of motion control, aiming at the acquisition of skills for a specific functional activity. When the existing studies are examined, it has been determined that there are a limited number of randomized controlled studies examining the effects of TOECT and that sufficient evidence cannot be obtained with these studies. In previous studies, it has been observed that standardization of exercise approaches applied to the control group could not be achieved and the control groups generally included applications that could create passive or effect summation compared to the experimental groups. In addition, in the literature, TOECT, which includes rehabilitation games to be applied in the form of station training, in MS patients; There is no randomized controlled study examining the effects on balance, walking, fatigue, trunk and upper extremity functions and kinematics. In this direction, the purpose of the research is; To examine the effects of technology-supported TOECT and technology-supported home program applied as station training on walking, quality of life, fatigue, balance, trunk and upper extremity functions of patients with MS, using kinematic and clinical methods. Volunteers who agree to participate in the study will be divided into two groups by the block randomization method. Both groups will receive exercise training 3 sessions per week (24 sessions in total) for 8 weeks. Evaluations will be made before and after 8 weeks treatment
