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 neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) used to demonstrate inflammatory status in recent years can be calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by the absolute lymphocyte count at routine blood tests.
There are some criteria such as the most frequently used parameters to predict the failure of non-invasive mechanical ventilation, the APACHE 2 score, the presence of pneumonia and ARDS in the etiology, and no improvement in one hour of treatment. However, APECHE 2 score, which is the broadest of these criteria and includes others, is a complex scoring in which a large number of parameters are evaluated together, dependent on laboratory results and still leaves the final decision to the physician with a complete evaluation. In addition, the APACHE 2 score is a more commonly used method for intensive care patients rather than emergency patients who need a quick decision. Therefore, there is a need for a fast and practical method that can predict NIMV failure and determine early intubation decision in the management of patients admitted to the emergency department with acute dyspnea. Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) is a parameter calculated by dividing the respiratory rate by the tidal volume and is used to predict whether patients who are intubated in intensive care unit can be extubated successfully. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of RSBI in predicting intubation and mortality in patients presented to the emergency department with acute respiratory failure and had NIMV indication.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of the liberal and restrictive fluid treatments which are routinely performed in major urological surgeries in the perioperative period on ANP release and the endothelial glycocalyx layer. In the study, the investigators aimed to compare changes in the glycocalyx structure by measuring the blood levels of ANP and heparan sulfate, hyaluronan and syndecan 1, which form the glycocalyx structure on the patients who received the liberal and restrictive fluid treatments during major urological surgeries.
This online-based, observational retrospective registry aims to (i) study the rate of cardiovascular events, encompassing venous thromboembolic and arterial events, in consecutive hospitalized patients with coronavirus (Covid19), (ii) investigate the prevalent use of thromboprophylaxis, (iii) describe the use of imaging tests for the detection of cardiovascular events in patients with Covid19. This will also facilitate and constitute the basis for the conduction of interventional thromboprophylaxis studies in patients with Covid19.
30 water polo players will be included in this study. It will be divided into 2 groups as the scapular stabilization exercise group and the control group. Scapular stabilization exercise group; 1) Squat with a towel slide on the wall 2) Wall push-ups with one leg extension 3) Cross squat 4) Elastic band pull while one leg squats 5) Double leg squat exercises will be given. These exercises will be 8 weeks and 3 days a week. The measurements of the exercises will be taken before the first session and at the end of the last session of the 8th week. Without giving exercise to the control group, only measurements will be taken in the 1st and 8th weeks. The study will take place in Burhan Felek Swimming Pool. Measurement evaluation tests; 1. Arm, Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH): It is a questionnaire used to determine the levels of upper extremity functionality. 2. Proprioception measurement: Digital goniometer device, which includes the use of constant gravity as a reference point to evaluate joint mobility, will be considered as active and passive repetitive positioning. 3. Measurement of muscle strength: The measurement will be made using a hand-held manual dynamometer J-TEC for isometric muscle strength evaluation. 4. Sitting medicine ball throwing (OSTA): The distance the participant throws the ball while in the long sitting position will be measured in "meters". Statistical analysis to be used in the research will be done with SPSS 20.0 package program (SPSS inc, Chicago, USA).
Ultra-endurance athletes have been commonly endured extreme conditions during races and training sessions, resulting in exercise-associated clinical symptoms, including gastrointestinal symptoms, dehydration, and elevated oxidative stress. Although these alterations adversely affect sports performance and well-being, there is no certain treatment or consensus on alleviating the exercise-associated clinical symptoms in ultra-endurance athletes. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of oral rehydration salts supplemented with Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG on exercise-induced gastrointestinal problems, dehydration and oxidative stress in ultra-endurance athletes. Additionally, we aimed to assess the exercise-induced alterations in oxidative stress determined by applying an acute strenuous exercise protocol ((a cycle ergometer (45 min at 65%VO2max) immediately followed by a treadmill test (75% VO2max to exhaustion)) before and after the supplementation period.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and therapeutic ultrasound combined with home-based exercise in comparison with home-based exercise alone in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Participants are going to evaluate before training, and at the 1-month follow-up and 3-month follow-up using the visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain during activity, at rest, and at night, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).
Background:Knee osteoarthritis is more common in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, however it is not known whether this effect is caused by diabetes itself or concominant abdominal obesity. Objectives:The aim of this study is to determine whether type-2 diabetes itself, independent of abdominal obesity, is a risk factor for femoral cartilage, knee osteoarthritis and poor quality of life. Design:A cross-sectional design. Settings:Training and research hospital in Turkey. Patients and Methods:Female patients was enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: according to presence or absence of diabetes. Later, both the patients with and without abdominal obesity was divided into two groups according the presence of diabetes. Main Outcome measures:Clinical parameters were visual analog-scale, gait speed and short form-36. Knee radiographs were evaluated according to Kellgren Lawrance-Scale. And ultrasonography parameters were the measurements of distal femoral cartilage thickness. Sample size:126
This study will be carried out in order to determine the e-health literacy levels of the students of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and to reveal whether the level of their education has an effect on e-health literacy. It is aimed to contribute to the literature with the objective, evidence-based results to be obtained from the study and to contribute to undergraduate education as a result of the differences between class levels.
This study was planned to determine the physiotherapists' knowledge and qualifications of CPR, their beliefs about the use of CPR in an emergency, and their perception of CPR competence.
