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 investigators aim to investigate the factors affecting cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with systemic hypertension.
This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess i) the prevalence of probable bruxism ii) the association between probable bruxism and periodontal status.The age, gender, education level, tooth loss, presence of probable bruxism and periodontal status of patients were evaluated. Periodontal statuses of the participants were defined according to the American Association of Periodontology/European Federation of Periodontology, 2017 consensus and assessment of probable bruxism was performed according to the 2018 consensus report on the assessment of bruxism.
Inner ear trauma during chronic otitis surgery is one of the major concerns of Otolaryngology. Hearing thresholds or semicircular canals were investigated with this purpose. The investigator's aim is to test the utricle for surgical trauma.
The sense of gravity is one of the important input of our balance system. The utricle is the key structure on this subject but the contribution of the proprioceptive receptors is also important. The aim of this study is to measure the effect of different angles of head tilt and soft surface on SVV in healthy subjects with a new automated system.
Lateral epicondylitis is a painful enthesopathy of the common extensor tendon at the lateral part of the elbow, with a prevalence of 1-3 % in the general population. In the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, the role of biological-based therapies has begun to investigate regeneration and optimize tendon healing. Prolotherapy (PrT) and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are biological based treatments. Previous studies have shown benefit of PrT in the treatment of tendinopathies. Preliminary findings demonstrated that HA could be clinically effective in the treatment of enthesopathies. Considering the paucity of HA studies (which also lack a control group) and the proposed mechanism of action of both PrT and HA is through cell proliferation and the healing process of tendons, this study was conducted to compare the effect of PrT and HA in chronic lateral epicondylitis .
Background: Primary aspect of hepatic navigation surgery is the identification of source vascular details to preserve healthy liver which has a vascularity anatomy quite challenging for the young surgeons. The purpose was to determine whether three-dimensional (3D) vascular pattern models of preoperative computed tomography images will assist resident-level trainees for hepatic surgery. Methods: This study was based on the perception of residents who were presented with 5 different hepatic source vascular pattern and required to compare their perception level of CT, and 1:1 models in terms of importance of variability, differential of patterns and preoperative planning. Results: All subspecialties agree that models provided better understanding of vascular source and improved preplanning. Five stations provided qualitative assessment with results showing the usefulness of porta-celiac models when used as anatomical tools in preplanning (p=0.04), simulation of interventional procedures (p=0.02), surgical education (p=0.01). None of the cases a scored less than 8.5. Responses related to understanding variations were significantly higher in the perception of the 3D model in all cases, furthermore 3D models were more useful for seniors in more complex cases 3 & 5. Some open-ended answers: "The 3D model can completely change the operation plan" One the major factors for anatomical resection of liver transplantation is the positional relationship between the hepatic arteries and the portal veins. Conclusions: The plastic-like material presenting the hepatic vascularity enables the visualization of the origin, pattern, shape, and angle of the branches with appropriate spatial perception thus making the well-structured.
ABSTRACT The muscle strength (MS) is necessary to overcome the resistance encountered during the activity. The present study aims to determine MS loss in stroke individuals (SI). 33 SI and 33 healthy individuals (HI) were included in this study. MS and handgrip force were assessed using a power track dynamometer and Jamar hand dynamometer, respectively. The total MS of the HI was calculated by summing the muscle strength of the trunk, lower and upper extremities. In the SI, the muscle strength of the trunk, unaffected upper and lower extremities were summed to calculate the total MS. To compare MS of unaffected sides (US) between groups, 27 SI who was dominant and not affected on the right side and 33 HI who was dominant on the right side were used.
In the development of surgical technique, laparoscopic surgery has created a major breaking point. Although laparoscopy (decreased hospital stay, decreased incisional hernia and wound infection rate…) provides a remarkable advantage compared to open surgery, the need for the extraction site incision could not bring the incision-related morbidity rates to the desired level. That's why SILS and natural hole surgery came to the fore. Colorectal surgery was also affected by this process, and the laparoscopic colectomy procedure combined with transrectal colon extraction was first performed in 1993 (1). Although its use increased gradually after this period, it could not reach the expected levels and this could not resolve the concerns on natural hole surgery. In this article, our aim is to present the single center results of the patients who performed the extraction with the NOSE method after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
The purpose of our study; to investigate the effects of EMG-induced ES treatment on hand functions, muscle strength, and quality of life in patients with hemiplegic CP.
Introduction: Intrauterine fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a condition in which the fetus does not realize its growth potential in the uterus. Heavy metals important pollutants produced from anthropogenic activities, has been suggested to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in a lot of studies. However, the causes of fetal growth restriction are little known and heavy metals merit further investigation. The investigators will be tested whether fetal growth restriction was associated with exposure to these metals/vitamins. Methods: This study was designed to determine maternal plasma/urine/hair, cord plasma, placenta and breast milk tin (Sn), manganese (Mn), Vanadium (V), Magnesium (Mg), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), antimony (Sb), aluminium (Al), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), iron (Fe), vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and folate concentrations in women with FGR (n=55) compared to those of volunteer healthy pregnant women (n=55). These heavy metals concentrations measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry were compared.
