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 will evaluate the effect of presence of favorite toy and parent during perioperative period on pediatric anxiety and emergence delirium. Half of the patients patients will be accompanied with their ownselected parent and the other half will be accompanied with their favorite toy in addition to their own selected parent.
In order to determine the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, the levels of various cytokines are analysed in tissues and fluids taken from the body. In various publications, the role of the glycoprotein sNRP-1 on inflammatory diseases and the relationship between smoking and periodontal diseases have been investigated. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the levels of this biomarker in the saliva of smokers with systemically healthy periodontitis and non-smokers with systemically healthy periodontitis, gingivitis and periodontal disease and to compare the concentration differences with CRP. Another aim is to show the effect of nicotine exposure rate on all these by measuring cotinine levels. In our study, all oral clinical parameters of 80 patients, including 20 systemically healthy, non-smoking and periodontally healthy patients, 20 patients with gingivitis, 20 patients with periodontitis; 20 systemically healthy, smoking patients with periodontitis, will be measured and saliva samples will be taken from the patients. The sNRP-1, cotinine and CRP levels in the samples will be determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Then, statistical analyses will be performed and the difference in the levels of biomarkers between the groups will be interpreted. Possible significant differences between the levels of these biomarkers may reveal that sNRP-1 can be used as a diagnostic tool in periodontal diseases or as a guide for treatments to be performed and may reveal a new perspective on the relationship between periodontitis and smoking.
Patients who had an indication for phototherapy were included in this study. The treatment was used as a monotherapy protocol. The standard protocol for bathing PUVA involved applying 0.01% bath psoralen for 15 minutes, while the tap water group only received a tap water bath for 15 minutes and the salt water group received 3% salted (NaCl) water before UVA treatment.
VR, with its developing technology, is a new technique used in the healthcare industry combined with cognitive technology to reduce the symptoms experienced by patients and to relieve the patient. This study investigates whether virtual tour environments created using virtual reality glasses have an effect on patients' vital signs, symptoms and comfort during the hemodialysis session. It is aimed to evaluate the effect of Virtual Reality Based Videos applied during hemodialysis treatment on Hemodialysis Symptoms, vital signs and Comfort.
Virtual Reality based training modulues have become a part of simulation based medical education and are nowadays used for undergraduate and postgraduate level training of healthcare professionals.In parallel to the advancements in Artificial Intelligence technology voice regotnition has the potential to be used as an interfeace during game play .The aim of this study is whether game interface with Artificial Intelligence based voice regognition may elevate the level of immersion during the use of Virtual Reality based serious gaming for Advanced Cardiac Life Support Training.
It was planned to determine the effect of hybrid simulation-based breastfeeding training on the practical skills, satisfaction, self-confidence and self-efficacy of the students of the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Health Sciences
The International Headache Society (IHS) defines occipital neuralgia, as a unilateral or bilateral paroxysmal, shooting, or stabbing pain in the posterior region of the scalp, in the distribution of the greater occipital nerve (GON), lesser occipital nerve (LON), or third occipital nerve (TON). The condition is occasionally accompanied by diminished sensation or dysesthesia in the affected area and is frequently associated with tenderness over the involved nerves. The majority of cases with occipital neuralgia are idiopathic, with no clearly defined anatomical cause. First, conservative treatment approaches including medication and physical therapy are frequently used. When conservative measures fail to alleviate occipital neuralgia, interventional treatments such as local occipital nerve anesthetic and corticosteroid infiltration, botulinum toxin A injection, occipital nerve subcutaneous neurostimulation or occipital nerve radifrequency treatment may be used.
General anesthesia is routinely administered to patients who undergo elective cholecystectomy. The most commonly used inhalation agents during general anesthesia are sevoflurane and desflurane. Participants who will undergo elective cholecystectomy surgery and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will receive sevoflurane, and the other group will receive desflurane. Preoperative and postoperative blood samples will be taken from the participants. After the sample collection process is completed, the ELISA method will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 protein levels, and the PCR technique will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 mRNA gene expression. The increase in amounts between the two groups will be compared. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of the most commonly used inhalation agents on the levels of heme oxygenase-1 enzyme, which has been shown to be an important enzyme in cellular protection mechanisms, as well as on mRNA gene expression, and to determine which agent may be more effective in preventing cellular damage at the molecular level.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the Health Belief Model-Based Education Program on the Physical Activity Beliefs and Behaviors of First Year Students of the Faculty of Nursing using a randomized controlled experimental research method.
The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy and practicality of ultrasound in the selection of double lumen tube and whether the complications that may occur intraoperatively and postoperatively can be reduced. Patients aged 18-75 years with ASA 1-2-3 who give informed consent for left double lumen tube placement for single lung ventilation will be included in this study. Patients with a history of previous difficult intubation, head and neck surgery and radiotherapy, class 3-4 in the Colmark-Lehane classification by the thoracic anaesthetist who will perform the intubation, and patients with previously known hoarseness and chronic cough will not be included in the study. Patients who accept the study will be randomly assigned to one of the anaesthesia groups including ultrasound group (Group 1) and classical method (Group 2). Randomisation will be in a 1:1 ratio and will be done by closed envelope method.
