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.
Our primary aim is to determine the most beneficial suture in order to reduce complications due to skin incision in common surgeries such as cesarean section, and our secondary aim is to evaluate the suture material used in terms of cosmetic results and participant preference.
The bronchodilator effects of volatile anesthetics have been the subject of many clinical studies. It is known that all volatile anesthetics, especially halothane, have similar effects. Sevoflurane has been shown to reduce airway resistance more than halothane and isoflurane. Desflurane is difficult to use as an induction agent due to its harsh and extremely pungent odor and airway irritating effect. However, it has been shown that the risk of cough, respiratory arrest and laryngospasm is no different from sevoflurane when administered after intravenous induction. Although it irritates the airway, it is thought to have a bronchodilation effect as it stimulates the sympathetic system. In spinal surgeries, prone position is required to access the operating field. When the patient is placed in the prone position, pulmonary physiology are affected. In the prone position, V/Q mismatch decreases and arterial oxygenation increases. However, lung compliance decreases and the peak inspiratory pressure required to reach the required tidal volume increases. The main purpose of this study is the effect of volatile agents on lung mechanics and oxygenisation in the prone position.
Along with traditional education methods, it is important to try different methods in order to increase interest, attitude and motivation in the lesson in accordance with the requirements of the age. Our study aimed to examine nursing students' attitudes towards the course in line with the principle of attractiveness in education. The study was conducted between March 2023 and June. The population of the research consists of second year students of Sakarya University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing. In the study, randomization determined which of the branches would be the experimental and control group. The sample of the study consisted of all volunteer students. The experimental group was completed with n:60 and the control group with n:57 students. To ensure homogeneity in the study, care was taken to include different branches in the same class. For consistency between observers, it was conducted in a course conducted by the same instructor. Data collection was conducted online. Participants answered the questions of the introductory information form, Instructional Material Motivation Scale, Course Interest Scale, and Attitude Towards Learning Scale. The post-test was administered to the control group without any intervention. The experimental group was trained and monitored with 3D animation videos every week. The data were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program.
Aim of the research: In addition to traditional education methods, it is important to try different methods to increase interest, attitude and motivation in accordance with the requirements of the age. Our study was carried out to examine the attitudes of nursing students towards the course in line with the principle of attractiveness in education. In addition, the attitudes of the students were determined through deep mock videos. Method of the study: The research is planned to be conducted between March 2023 and June 2023. The population of the research consists of 4th year students of the Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Muş Alparslan University. In the research, the experimental and control groups were determined by randomisation. The sample of the study consisted of all volunteer students. The experimental group consisted of n:40 participants and the control group consisted of n:40 participants. In order to ensure homogeneity in the study, it was paid attention that different branches were in the same class. In order to ensure consistency between the observers, it was carried out in a course conducted by the same instructor. The study was conducted in accordance with the CONSORT diagram. Data collection was carried out online. Participants answered questions about sociodemographic characteristics and scale items. It took approximately 15 minutes for the participants to answer the questions. The posttest was administered to the control group without any intervention. The experimental group was trained and monitored with deep mock videos every week. The data were evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 programme.
Mesotherapy is a type of injection frequently used in clinics. It is a treatment procedure that involves the injection of some drugs under the skin or into the skin. Mesotherapy is used in musculoskeletal system diseases, but it is reported that the effects of its use in migraine are uncertain.
Palatal-tissue harvesting is a routinely performed procedure in periodontal plastic surgery. Subepithelial connective tissue graft (sCTG) is considered the gold standard in root coverage. However, over the years, several materials have been attempted to accelerate wound healing and to decrease the post-operative patient discomfort and pain, which are considered the most common disadvantages of tissue harvesting from the palate. Reharvesting from the same region could be necessary in some complicated gingical recessions. For this reason, patients may face long treatment times due to recovery periods of the palate between surgeries. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) which has 3-dimensional fibrin matrix structure contributes to regeneration of surgical wounds by releasing growth factors for 10-14 days and showing angiogenic properties. In medicine and dentistry, ultrasonography (USG) method can be used to measure tissue thickness, vascularization, elasticity and blood flow. USG, as a non-invasive method, can provide objective data in evaluating the effects of surgical techniques and biomaterials used on soft tissue healing dynamics and tissue perfusion. The investigators hypothesised that leukocyte rich PRF (L-PRF) application to the palatal area after sCTG harvesting could increase palatal tissue thickness and vascularity throughout 3-month follow-up period compared to the controls. Therefore, in this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of the L-PRF membrane on soft tissue donor site healing after harvesting sCTG in terms of wound healing dynamics using USG method.
This study aimed to test Turkish validity and reliability of the Oral Health Impact on Daily Life Questionnaire (OHIDL) in adult endodontic patients.The questionnaire was translated and adapted into Turkish. Then, it was applied to two hundred twenty-two participants aged 18 years.
Background: In the management of hypertension lifestyle changes are recommended along with pharmacological treatment. Aims: This randomized controlled intervention study aimed to compare the effects of a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a salt-free diet on blood pressure in hypertension patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 60 patients with primary hypertension. One group (n=30) was given an individualized DASH diet, the other group was given a salt-free diet (n=30), and the participants were followed for two months. The patients' blood pressures were monitored daily throughout the study, and their biochemical parameters were monitored at the beginning of the study, in the first and second months.
This study is a Randomized Controlled trial.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training on postoperative mobility, anxiety level and pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Hypotheses of the study: H1= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H2= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative mobility in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. H3= Routine patient education and video-assisted mobilization training have an effect on postoperative pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
High Induction Magnetic Field Therapy is a therapeutic method that uses high-intensity fields (up to 2.5 T) that produce high current density in exposed tissue. While there are studies in the literature on devices with 2.5 T, there is no research on the effect of 4 T. Magnetic field application contributes significantly to the healing process. It is an easier, cheaper, and more comfortable application. The magnetic field has been clinically proven to be safe. It is a practical, non-invasive method to induce cell and tissue modifications, correcting selected pathological conditions through magnetic application. The aim of the study is to investigate whether High Induction Magnetic Field therapy applied in addition to conservative treatment in patients with shoulder pain makes a difference compared to conservative treatment alone.
