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 is a VLP SARS-CoV-2 vaccine study of a vaccine developed in Turkey and manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements. Preclinical toxicology studies on experimental animals are to be concluded. The purpose of this Phase I study is to examine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the protective VLP vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, which will be administered by a double-blind, randomized method, in two different doses (low dose and high dose).
Covid-19 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) may present with profound hypoxemia not fully explained with pulmonary infiltrates. Accordingly, how prone positioning improves oxygenation in these patients is not fully known. The investigators conducted a study among patients with severe Covid-19 ARDS receiving prone position for at least 16 hours. End Expiratory Lung Volume (EELV) was measured with Nitrogen wash-in/wash-out technique before (Supine Position 1- SP1), during (Prone Position - PP) and after (Supine Position 2 - SP2) prone positioning.
Electronic database of our tertiary obstetrics and gynecology clinic was searched for patients who were treated for tub-ovarian abscess during the last 10 years (January 2010- November 2020). Patients' biometric data, admission date and duration, medical and surgical treatment modalities were recorded using an Excel sheet. Patients will be evaluated on the basis of the treatment they receive, length of treatment, if surgically treatment the type of surgery performed. Hospitalization length, readmission, recurrence will be compared between treatment modalities.
The Primary Completion Date and Study Completion Date have been updated to reflect completion of the adolescent cohort, which has been added to the protocol. The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan (LNP023) in complement 3 glomerulopathy.
The genetics has been shown as one of the most important factor influencing the growth and development of the dentofacial complex. Dental development, one of the most reliable indicators of chronological age (CA), has been believed to be fundamentally influenced by genetics rather than environmental factors. As twins share genetic variation (100% for monozygotic and 50% for dizygotic twins) and were subjected to the similar environmental factors, the twin studies have been presented useful and effective method to researchers for investigating the influence of heredity on dental development and observing the similarities and differences among twin pairs. Evaluation of dental development is among the most commonly used and reliable method for dental age determination using the morphological parameters of teeth on dental radiographs. Dental maturity, defined as a dental age (DA), is very important in forensic anthropology to identify cases and in dentistry for planning pedodontic and orthodontic treatment, and also determining a child's growth and developmental status. There are many dental age estimation methods which are mostly based on the morphological evaluation of dental growth observed from dental radiographs in children In order to estimate dental age, Demirjian's, Willems' and Nolla's methods were used. All panoramic radiographs were scored by one observer to eliminate the inter-observer error.
Peripheral intravenous catheters have application such as fluid, blood, medication and feding fluids. Although it is a life-savingtool, it can lead to some complications as a result of incorrect applications. Phlebitis, which is defined as inflammation of the tunica intima layer of the vein, is characterized by pain, redness, tenderness, palpable stiffness and increased temperature. As can be seen during catheter application, it can develop within 48-96 hours after catheter removal. Instudies performed, the rate of phlebitis development was 0.1-63.3% in patients with peripheral intravenous catheters, in Turkey, this rate varies between 11% and 67%. Phlebitis; can be originated mechanical, chemical and bacterial. Various guidelines are available from evidence based on research results to prevent and reduce phlebitis development. In our country, National Vascular Access Management Guide is used. One of the principles in the National Guidelines for Vascular Access Management for the prevention of phlebitis is skin antisepsis. The guideline recommends a 70% alcohol solution containing>0.5% chlorhexidine for skin antisepsis and reports that povidone-iodine or only 70% alcohol solution can be used in the absence or contraindication. Infusion Nurses Society (INS, 2016) recommends using the 'Phlebitis Scale' in the early diagnosis of phlebitis. In this study, investigator aimed to compare the antiseptic effects of 2% chlorhexidine and 70% alcohol which are used as antiseptic in preventing phlebitis development while providing skin antisepsis, which is one of the basic principles in the application of peripheral intravenous catheter. This study is a randomized controlled clinical study and the population will consist of patients (participants)hospitalized in the Surgery -1 Department of Balcalı Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Çukurova University. As a data collection tool; 'Patient Information Form' and 'İnformation Form for İntravenous Catheter Application to the Patient' created by there searcher, to evaluate phlebitis formation "Phlebitis Scale'' which published by the Infusion Nurses Society (INS, 2016) will be used. A transparent millimeter ruler will be used
Trunk impairment and asymmetry that occur after stroke negatively affect many functional activities in the daily lives of patients. There are different neurophysiological approaches such as Bobath method and task-oriented approach used in post-stroke rehabilitation programs in the literature. However, there are not many studies that comprehensively evaluate and compare the effects of these neurophysiological approaches on trunk muscles, balance and gait in stroke patients. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the effects of Bobath method and task-oriented approach on architectural features and activation of trunk muscles and functional performance in stroke patients. In addition, this study will demonstrate with muscle thickness and activation the asymmetry that may occur between the hemiparetic and non-paretic trunk muscles of stroke patients, and will allow examining the effects of these features on functional performance. This study was planned to include two treatment groups. The Bobath group will receive Bobath based trunk, balance and walking exercises, while the task-oriented group will receive exercises for oriented task. Trunk impairment, motor functions, thickness and activation of trunk muscles, spatio-temporal parameters of gait, balance and goal attainment will be assessed before and after 8 weeks treatment program. As a result; effectiveness of Bobath method and task-oriented approach will be compared and relationship between muscle thickness, activation and functional performance will be examined.
The study will be conducted to determine the difference on functional status, self-efficacy, and quality of life between groups with and without telephone counseling and training on disease management for participants.
A total of 68 women with pSS and 135 healthy female patients were included in the study. All women in the study and control groups were evaluated gynecologically, and genital findings during the examination and variables related to pSS were recorded. Women's sexual functions were evaluated with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and quality of life was evaluated using the Health Status Questionnaire-Short Form 36.
Sedation or anaesthesia is necessary to be able to perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on children who cannot keep still or are uncooperative, and thus the targets of maximum patient safety, successful imaging, and the highest imaging quality can be achieved. There are various drugs for sedation in MRI. A child with Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium (AED) has a state of consciousness which can be described as "irritable, uncompromising, inconsistent, crying inconsistently, wailing, and kicking". The incidence of AED worldwide has been reported to vary between 18% and 80%, depending on the diagnostic criteria used. This difference can usually be explained by the use of different scales and defining criteria. In 2004, Sikich and Lerman developed the Paediatric Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale, including cognitive evaluation components in addition to agitation behaviours, and the validity and reliability of this scale have been proven. In a study of anaesthesia early delirium in children by Bong et al.7 a score of ≥10 on the PAED scale was shown to have the greatest sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of anaesthesia early delirium. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on the occurrence of emergence delirium, and recovery, of propofol and ketofol in paediatric patients undergoing diagnostic MRI following premedication with intranasal dexmedetomidine and midazolam.
