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.
In patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), severe dyspnea is the most dramatic complication.Severe respiratory difficulties may include electrocardiographic frontal QRS axis rightward shift (Rws) and clockwise rotation (Cwr). This study investigated the predictability of advanced lung tomography findings with QRS axis shift and rotation. This was a retrospective analysis of 160 patients.The patients were divided into two groups: normal oxygen saturation(SpO2) (NS; n = 80) and low SpO2(LS;n = 80).They were then divided into NS Rws (n = 37), NS leftward shift (Lws; n = 43), LS Rws (n = 40), and LS Lws (n = 40) according to electrocardiographic follow-up findings. These groups were compared in terms of electrocardiographic rotation (Cwr, counterclockwise rotation, or normal transition), tomographic stage (CO-RADS5(advanced)/CO-RADS1-4), electrocardiographic intervals, and laboratory findings
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected individuals not only physiologically but also psychologically. The aim of this study is to examine the anxiety and depression status of cancer patients, individuals with non-cancer chronic diseases and healthy individuals with an online screening questionnaire during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Current healthcare delivery models emphasize enhanced postoperative recovery (ERAS) with minimal morbidity and shorter hospital stays. Most tracheostomy cases are tumour patients. The more the patients have difficulty in breathing, the more difficult it is to anaesthetize them. Adequate intraoperative anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia with minimal sedation play an essential role in this patient model. In tracheostomy patients, moving away from the general anaesthesia option increases airway safety, and avoiding the local anaesthesia option in the incision area increases patient comfort. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of regional anaesthesia in tracheostomy patients.
This is a randomized controlled study examining the effect of telerehabilitation on fine motor performance and handwriting difficulties experienced by children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Intraoperative awareness which means the recall of experiences recorded in patients' memories during general anesthesia in the postoperative period is an important issue in anesthesia practice. The aims of this study are to investigate the incidence and causes of awareness during general anesthesia, incidence of dreaming during anesthesia, intra-operative experiences of patients who report awareness, the risk factors that may be associated with awareness, to analyze the frequency of posttraumatic stress disorder in cases with awareness and possible awareness, the risk factors that may be associated with PTSD in Turkish adults. Adult patients will be evaluated 4 time following emergence (a) One hour after emergence, (b) Twenty four hour after emergence (c) One week after emergence (d) One month after emergence. The first interview will be made face-to-face in the recovery unit, and other interviews will be made by phone. Each interview will be conducted using the same structured interview (Brice Interview). Descriptive statistics will be used to determine the incidence of awareness. χ2 test will be used for comparison between groups. Logistic regression will be used to determine the risk factors associated with awareness and PTSD. We believe that this study will contribute to the prevention of the problem by determining the real frequency and causes of intraoperative awareness under general anesthesia, determining the experiences and results of patients, and analyzing the associated risk factors.
This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of different treatments for knee osteoarthritis and aims to investigate the efficacy of exercise combined platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection versus only exercise or only PRP treatments.
The incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who undergo caesarean section (C/S) under regional anesthesia is approximately 30-80%. Hypotension, pain, visceral manipulation, fundal pressure, removal of the uterus during repair, intra-abdominal irrigation, central neural opioids, intravenous oxytocin and antibiotics are possible risk factors. Oxytocin and prophylactic antibiotics are administered simultaneously during C/S operation, especially after the umbilical cord is clamped. Simultaneous administration of drugs such as oxytocin and prophylactic antibiotics may induce nausea and vomiting after umbilical cord clamping in the patient. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of prophylactic antibiotic administration 30 minutes before the incision and after cord clamping on intraoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing elective C/S under regional anesthesia. This study was planned to be carried out in Başkent University Zübeyde Hanım Research Center Operating Room with 120 pregnant women (≥ 37 gestational weeks) undergoing elective C/S under regional anesthesia in a prospective, randomized, double-blind manner. Group 1 (Prophylactic antibiotic 30 minutes before skin incision): Antibiotic diluted in 10 ml syringe 30 minutes before skin incision and after cord clamping, 0.9% NaCl in 10 ml syringe will be administered intravenously within 15 seconds. Group 2 (prophylactic antibiotic after cord clamping): 30 minutes before the skin incision, 0.9% NaCl in a 10 ml injector and after the cord is clamped, the antibiotic diluted in a 10 ml syringe will be administered intravenously within 15 seconds. Intraoperative nausea-retching-vomiting episodes (0 = No symptoms, 1: Nausea (uncomfortable feeling with vomiting), 2: Gag (vomiting effort in which gastric contents cannot be expelled), 3: Vomiting (Gastric contents are forced by mouth. ejection)] will be recorded. Nausea scores will be evaluated on the verbal analog scale (VAS) with 11 points (0 = no nausea, 10 = the most severe nausea). Before anesthesia, all patients will be informed about the verbal analog scale (VAS) for nausea. VAS 1-3 = Mild Nausea, VAS 4-6 = Moderate nausea, VAS 7-10 = Severe nausea. Evaluations will be made at certain time intervals. Before CSEA application Time interval between CSEA application and fetus discharge Time interval between fetus exit and expulsion of the uterus Time interval between expulsion of the uterus and insertion into the abdomen Time interval between insertion of the uterus in the abdomen and closing the fascia Time interval between fascia closure and skin closure Time interval between skin closure and patient transport to the recovery unit Nausea-retching-vomiting episodes, current systolic/diastolic blood pressure values, nausea-vomiting scores, antiemetic and / or ephedrine requirement, amount of intravenous fluid infused will be recorded. Intraoperative prophylactic antibiotic use is considered as one of the possible causes of intraoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who underwent cesarean section under regional anesthesia. We believe that the results of our study can make contribution on both intraoperative nausea-vomiting etiology in cases undergoing cesarean section under regional anesthesia and the steps that can be taken to prevent it.
Pilonidal sinus disease is a common health-care problem, and surgical excision is the standard treatment modality. Controversy still exists regarding the best surgical technique for treating pilonidal disease in terms of minimizing disease recurrence and patient discomfort. In this study, the investigators compared the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with that of minimally invasive techniques on pain reduction, return to daily activities, quality of life, and duration of wound healing after open excision and secondary closure.
