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 aimed to present the influence of unilateral and bilateral flat foot on coronal spinopelvic alignment in asymptomatic young healthy males. It will be carried out by examining the medical reports of individuals who apply to the National Health Board to work in positions requiring physical fitness between January 2018 and January 2019. Plain radiographies of the feet, pelvis, and spine will be analyzed. Calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) for flat foot, pelvic obliquity (PO), and Cobb angle (CA) for spinal asymmetry will be measured. After all analyzes were completed, participants will be divided into 2 groups as unilateral (UniFF) or bilateral (BiFF) flat foot, depending on the CPA measurements and will be compared.
The right colon diverticula, unlike those in the left colon, contain all layers of the colon and is called the true diverticulum. Perforation is observed less frequently due to its full thickness. Conservative treatment can be applied unless complications such as abscess formation and free perforation occur. Unlike the left, right colon diverticulitis has low complications and can be treated conservatively. The differential diagnosis of right colon diverticulitis should be kept in mind in order to prevent unnecessary surgeries. Surgical treatment is inevitable in cases such as recurrent diverticulitis, generalized peritonitis, and suspected malignancy.
Pregnant women who are in the process of labor need physical and emotional support of health professionals in issues such as coping with labor pain, relieving fear and anxiety, and experiencing positive birth. The fact that labor dance includes components such as upright posture, pelvic movement, touch, massage provides both physical and emotional support to the pregnant woman. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of labor dance applied to pregnant women in the first stage of birth on labor pain, anxiety, birth time and maternal satisfaction at birth.
In the literature, there are no studies evaluating fear of COVID-19, anxiety, depression, physical activity, fear of movement and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease during COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will evaluate these parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease and compare the findings of healthy individuals during COVID-19 pandemic
This is a Phase 3 study of the PI3Kδ inhibitor Zandelisib (ME-401) in combination with rituximab, in comparison to standard immunochemotherapy (Rituximab-Bendamustine or Rituximab-CHOP) in subjects with relapsed or refractory FL and MZL.
In the postoperative period; pain, nausea, and vomiting are undesirable side effects that reduce the patient's comfort and may lead to various complications. Ondansetron is frequently used as an antiemetic and tramadol hydrochloride is used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, some studies have reported that there is a drug interaction between these two drugs and they reduce each other's effects, thus requiring more analgesics in the postoperative period. The aim of this study is; To evaluate whether ondansetron reduces the analgesic efficacy of tramadol hydrochloride in laparoscopic cholecystectomies.
Major burn injuries are serious traumas that cause physical and psychological problems. The acute period that begins with admission to the hospital is followed by a rehabilitation period that lasts for months or even years. The main goal in the acute care of the patient in hospital is to discharge the patient from the hospital as soon as possible, with the least morbidity, functional and cosmetic loss. The care of the patient in rehabilitation period continues at home, and the home care is provided by informal caregivers. Due to the physiological and psychological changes occurring in the patient with burns, the informal caregiver has important duties such as; helping with or doing feeding, wound care, personal care, organizing household chores, providing economic, medical and psychological support. So that, informal caregivers may experience lack of information and anxiety. Nurses should include the informal caregivers in discharge education to meet the information requirement of them, to prepare them for home care and to reduce anxiety of home care. The basis of discharge education is to help individual to cope with the problems related to the disease and to maintain individual care. Nurses, who play a key role in discharge education, have been keeping up with the change over the years and trying to maintain the effectiveness of education by various methods. The educational environment enriched with different technological tools and materials used in the field of education makes it easier to provide a change of behavior in the desired direction in the learner. A controlled and safe simulation environment ensures patient safety at all times, while ensuring that training is tailored specifically to the needs of the trained. Simulation gives caregivers an opportunity to manage stressful medical events in a risk-free environment, which allows healthcare providers to be involved in and manage the family's traditional education when it comes to caring and teaching families. When the literature on increasing the preparedness of the caregivers for care, and thus reducing the burden of care, no studies evaluating the simulation-based training for informal caregivers were found. This study was needed with the idea that simulation-based training, which is provided with a high fidelity of moulage, will help the caregiver to understand the burn care easily, to be ready for care and therefore to reduce the burden of care.
Introduction: Although innovative procedural changes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles have increased the implantation rate of blastocysts transferred significantly, blastocyst selection remains a significant limiting factor in implantation outcomes. To improve implantation rates requires conventional microscopic blastocyst morphology scoring/selection technique to be replaced by an enhanced blastocyst selection technique or for the conventional morphology selection technique to be strengthened by novel supplementary selection techniques. Blastocoel fluid biopsy with DNA amplification is a minimally invasive (mi) technique that may supplement a blastocyst morphology score variables with a genetic variable. Objective: In the present randomized controlled trial (RCT), DNA amplification in blastocoel fluid biopsies (BF-biopsy) will be investigated as a supplementary measure to select blastocysts for transfer in conjunction with blastocyst morphology scores. The objective will be to develop a minimally invasive blastocyst selection technique, which will improve selection and increase clinical implantations, while not increasing costs. Materials and Methods: A single IVF centre double-blind randomised controlled trial, with patients recruited having female age 18 to 35 years from infertile patients presenting for freeze-all-IVF treatment. Enrolled patients (N = 500) with ≥five 2PN zygotes after ICSI will be randomised (1:1) to the two arms of the trial (i.e., test and control arm). In the test arm, 3 blastocysts will undergo blastocoel fluid biopsy (BF-biopsy) and whole-genomic amplification. Single blastocysts with no DNA amplification will be transferred in FETs of the test arm and single top-scoring blastocysts will be transferred in FETs of the control arm. The primary outcome measure of the trial will be clinical implantation (i.e., gestational sac with fetal heartbeat). Results: The clinical implantation outcomes of FETs in which score-selected single blastocyst with no DNA amplification and score-selected single blastocysts were transferred will be compared.
Surgical operations and recovery after anesthesia is a complex process. Studies examining the interventions performed in the preoperative period often focus on classical clinical outcomes such as postoperative organ dysfunction, morbidity or complications. Postoperative recovery of the patient is rarely considered the most important outcome variable in interventional studies. In this study, the Quality of recovery 15 (QoR - 15) questionnaire that measures the recovery score, and the American college of surgeons surgical risk calculator have been used to compare the predictive values of patient's preoperative condition on postoperative recovery period and possible morbidity and mortality.
Ciechanowicz et al. developed and validated a postpartum recovery score for women with a caesarean section: the ObsQoR-11. The psychometric validation of the ObsQoR-11 confirms its reliability, its response to change, its acceptability and its feasibility. The use of this score allows the investigators to quantify the quality of the patient's recovery between 0 and 110, by allocating a score from 0 to 10 for each item. ObsQoR-11 has not yet been validated for use in Turkish. Therefore the investigators aimed to psychometrically evaluate the Turkish translated version of the ObsQoR-11 in a Turkish cohort of women.
