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 was carried out to determine the fear of Covid-19 and the compliance with protective measures of students who continue their education face-to-face during the covid-19 pandemic process.
Today, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most frequently performed bariatric surgical method. One of the complications seen after LSG is trocar site hernia (TSH). There is no clear information about the rate of TSH detected radiologically after LSG. Thick abdominal wall and failure to adequately expose the facial defect related to this, mobility limitations due to excessive subcutaneous fatty tissue are the reasons accused for increased incidence of TSH. Demographic characteristics and postoperative weight loss of patients who underwent LSG procedure in our clinic between January 2015 and June 2017 and whose facial defects in the trocar region were repaired with the Carter-Thomason Suture Passer (CTSP) were evaluated. TSH evaluation was made both by physical examination and superficial USG by a general surgeon who had radiological training on concurrent superficial abdominal ultrasonography (USG). Detected TSHs were divided into two groups as symptomatic and asymptomatic.
The aim of this study to determine the effect of hot showers on postpartum fatigue, mood and comfort in women giving vaginal birth. 136 women, who were between 6 and 12 hours postpartum, were assigned to intervention and control groups by computer randomization. Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, Visual Analogue Scale, Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire and Brief Mood Insight Scale were used to collect data. The women in the intervention group were allowed to take a shower in a standing position at a water temperature of 37-41°C for 10-20 minutes. In the control group, routine care was provided.
Liver transplantation has become an important treatment in hepatocellular cancer (HCC). While the generally determined malign indication in the world is HCC, some centers perform liver transplantation in both cholangiocarcinoma and mixed type hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma diseases and investigate the differences in recurrence and survival outcomes compared to HCC. Although liver transplantation for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas of small diameter <2cm is a popular topic of discussion around the world, a common consensus has not been established.
To evaluate the performance of uterocervical angle (UCA) in the prediction of latent phase duration in post term pregnancies
The number of new Coronavirus-2019 (Covid-19) cases is increasing day by day despite the warnings "Stay at home! Wear a mask! Keep social distance!". The aim of this descriptive study is to determine the risk factors that affect the Covid-19 infection in Turkey. The online link of the form created on Google forms was sent to the participants' phones between 18.10.2020 and 18.11.2020.
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin) to insulin degludec (an insulin already available on the market) in people with type 1 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week, or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided at random. Participants will also get a mealtime insulin. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 1 year and 2 months. Participants will have 28 clinic visits and 28 phone calls with the study doctor. At 11 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 6 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures your blood sugar all the time. Participants will be asked to wear it for a total of 57 weeks (around 1 year). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The study aims to determine the effects of inhalation aromatherapy on pain and anxiety during the SWL protocol. This study included 120 patients who were scheduled to undergo SWL. Patients were randomly assigned a control placebo group 1 (n=40), the lavender group 2 (n=40), and the frankincense group 3 (n=40). The nebulizer (a rate of 2%) was prepared and operated on in the SWL room before the procedure. Data were collected using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I).
Aim: Steroid injections are remarkably effective as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the short term. The aim of this study was to determine whether hydrodissection would provide an additional clinical effect when used along with a corticosteroid in the short term. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with CTS were retrospectively evaluated. 28 patients were selected randomly who received ultrasound (US)-guided triamcinolone hydrodissection (3 mL) as intervention group and received US-guided triamcinolone injection (1 mL) as control group, from the data (case-control ratio 1:1). Outcome measures were the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), hand grip strength (HGS), fhe cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve and Short Form 12 (SF-12). Assessments were recorded at baseline, 1 and 4 weeks after injection.
PRISMIII(Pediatric Risk of Mortality III), PIM2(Pediatric Index of Mortality 2) and PELOD(Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction) are frequently used for predicting mortality and morbidity in general pediatric ICUs(Intensive Care Units). However, the effectiveness of these scoring sistems in a specific group patients undergoing congenital heart surgery(CHS) is unknown. In this study, the investigators aimed primarily to evaluate the success of these scoring systems in predicting mortality and morbiditiy in this specific group and to compare the scoring systems with eachother, and secondly to evaluate the relationship of these systems with the STAT(STS-EACTS CHS Mortality Score) category
