Filter by:No tool has been found to evaluate behaviors that may hinder or facilitate physical activity in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. In this sense, the importance of examining physical activity barriers and facilitators in children with rheumatic diseases is clear. We believe that our study will guide the increase in physical activity, which is very important for reducing disease risks in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Inflammatory Arthritis Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity (IFAB) Questionnaire in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases (juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome, juvenile dermatomyositis).
Allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction to a triggering agent. Tests used in allergy are divided into two: in vivo and in vitro. Among the in vivo tests routinely used, epidermal, intradermal and patch tests are used, and the most commonly used is the skin prick test. In order to prevent the negative effects of pain, it is important to be informed about the appropriate approach to children, newborns and babies, and effective pain management, according to their cognitive development levels. Pain management in children should be done appropriately with accurate assessment tools. This will increase the quality of life, reduce hospitalizations, shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce costs. Pain experiences experienced during childhood will cause later pain experiences to be perceived as more severe and cause anxiety and fear. Anxiety is a psychological, physiological and behavioral state that develops in response to a perceived or existing threat. Anxiety, which can also be expressed as worry or anxiety, is a emotional state that can occur in various ways, such as restlessness, tension, easy fatigue, lack of concentration, muscle tension, and sleep disturbance, in which autonomic and somatic symptoms occur in the body, without any reason. Virtual reality provides multi-sensory information as children focus on the simulated world. Virtual reality, one of the cognitive methods; It can create an environment where three-dimensional pictures or animations created on the computer can interact in people's minds. It is also defined as a distraction method created by software, which creates the feeling that users are in the environment even though they are not in the real environment, and can interact with people in the environment. When all these studies were examined, no three-group study was found comparing a distracting method with a physical method for the 7-10 age group. Additionally, there is a study that used virtual reality in the prick test, but there is no method that has been proven to be superior to virtual reality. In this study, it will be investigated whether virtual reality and buzzy applications have a reducing effect on pain, fear and anxiety compared to the control group. Virtual reality and buzzy techniques will also be compared with each other. Since no such study has been found in the literature, it is thought to contribute to the field.
The overall objective is to establish the first-of-its-kind longitudinal cohort of pregnant women, biological fathers/partners and offspring from pregnancies achieved by frozen embryo transfer (FET), fresh-embryo transfer (fresh ET) and naturally conceived (NC) to investigate maternal cardiometabolic profiles, fetal growth patterns and placental function during pregnancy as well as metabolic and endocrine health in the offspring. Additionally, the aim is to explore genetic and epigenetic patterns in placenta, fetus and parents. As secondary objectives, the investigator group will examine telomere length and minipuberty hormones in children born after FET, fresh-ET and NC.
Neck pain is a major public health concern that has been extensively studied in adults but not in children and adolescents. Mechanical neck pain became prevalent among children and adolescents, and has its impacts on functional ability. This study is aiming to investigate the correlation between Cervical spine sagittal alignment parameter (cranio-cervical angle) and functional disability in preparatory school students with mechanical cervical pain.
The goal of this age-based cohort study is to provide normative data of vestibular function in the general Danish pediatric population. Thus, the investigators will be able to compare patient data with norms, allowing for more precise diagnostics. The participants will be children in the age of 6 months to 10 years, without any known hearing or balance problems. The test protocol consists of questionnaires, hearing screening and vestibular and postural assessments.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will be children in the age of 3-10 years with sensorineural hearing loss. The test protocol consists of questionnaires and vestibular and postural assessments.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children suspected of balance disorders, and to follow up on their balance progressions after rehabilitation. The main hypothesis of the study is that delayed gross motor development and symptoms of dizziness and balance problems in some children are caused by vestibular dysfunction. The investigators expect that early detection and rehabilitation by a physiotherapist will improve the balance ability for the child. The participants will be children in the age of 6 months to 10 years with delayed gross motor development and/or with dizziness/balance problems. The test protocol consists of questionnaires, hearing screening and vestibular and postural assessments.
This study will be conducted with a randomized controlled study model to examine the effect of music therapy on nausea, vomiting and anxiety levels in children diagnosed with oncological cancer receiving cisplatin. The research is planned to be carried out at Dokuz Eylül University Nevvar-Salih İşgören Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic between December 2023 and December 2024. There is no application for music therapy in the operation of this hospital and clinic.
The main purpose of 'Serious Games' (SG) is to provide opportunities for constructive learning and training. They are well-accepted instruments in therapeutic interventions and have been found to be efficient to improve cognitive areas, social interaction and motor skill function. The SG is expected to improve asthmatic children's behaviour by providing a positive psychosocial experience with positive effects on asthma outcomes. Participants will be subjected to SG as part of routine medical care, and researchers will study the effect of SG. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of an innovative SG on neurobehavioural patterns through a randomised controlled pilot study in adolescents with controlled asthma and on the modulation of the expression pattern of CTRA 'Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity'.
Little is known about cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction occuring in children treated by anticancer drugs for malignancies. Here the investigators use VigiBase (http://www.vigiaccess.org/), the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports, to identify and describe cases of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction associated with anticancer drugs.
