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.
Prediction of difficult preoperative intubation in obese patients and completion of preparations for difficult intubation both reduce the risk of repeated intubation and prevent complications. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate whether anthropometric measurements are superior in defining difficult preoperative airways.
This study aimed to evaluate the caregiving burden and severity of depression in patients with right hemiplegia and left hemiplegia.
The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Quality of Recovery 15 questionnaire in Turkey.
Assessment of Acidosis and Alkalosis, Evaluation of Hypoxemia and Hyperoxemia, Evaluation of Hemoglobin Parameters, Assessment of Electrolytes, Evaluation of Metabolic Parameters (Glucose, Lactate, Bilirubin)
This prospective study will be conducted in surgical wards, assessing postoperative patients. Initially, patients will be evaluated using the VAS method. Subsequently, they will be shown five AI-generated images depicting different pain levels and will select the image that best represents their pain. A follow-up survey will assess the effectiveness of each method. Using ChatGPT-4/DALL-E, images corresponding to VAS scores of 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 will be created. Patients will choose the image that best describes their pain, aiming to determine if AI-supported visuals offer a more accurate alternative to VAS for pain assessment.
Parkinson's disease was first described in history in 1817 by James Parkinson in his monograph "An essay on swinging palsy", and today it is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, affecting approximately 6.1 million people. Its main histopathological feature is the decrease in dopaminergic secretion in the basal ganglia and there are three cardinal findings: Bradykinesia, Tremor, Rigidity. Although joint and skeletal deformities are seen in approximately 70% of Parkinson's patients, they are not adequately evaluated and cause significant functional disability and chronic pain, independent of motor symptoms.Musculoskeletal pathologies seen in Parkinson's patients can be classified as: musculoskeletal pain, articular problems, postural problems and bone mineralization defects. The shoulder girdle is a joint with complex and delicate function, consisting of four joints (glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic), supporting muscles and periarticular ligaments, which seriously affects the patient's quality of daily life and function. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best imaging tool in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal system pathologies, it is quite sensitive to artifact-forming motion. Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in the evaluation of rotator cuff muscles, biceps muscle and glenohumeral joint pathologies and has many advantages over MRI, such as providing fast, cheap and dynamic imaging. Although many studies have proven that shoulder girdle musculoskeletal pathologies such as bicipital tendinitis, m.supraspinatus tendinosis, subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis, subacromial impingement syndrome, and adhesive capsulitis are seen more frequently in Parkinson's patients by ultrasonographic imaging, these shoulder girdle pathologies seen in Parkinson's patients are more common. The risk factors for pathologies have not been defined. In this study, we aimed to determine the ultrasonographic findings and risk factors of shoulder pathologies in Parkinson's patients and to investigate the effects of shoulder pathologies on quality of daily life, physical activity, falls and balance.
Maternal smoking during pregnancy although it is known to be associated with fetal growth restriction, it's effect on postpartum breastfeeding is not yet clear. The aim of the present study was to examine the impacts of smoking in pregnancy on breastfeeding as well as its impacts on placental immunoreactivity.
Aim: This randomized controlled clinical study aimed to compare direct composite resin restorations and Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) supported inlay or onlay restorations in young permanent molar teeth with hypomineralization. The main questions aim to answer are: - The clinical success rate of CAD-CAM supported restorations - The highest clinical success rate for restoring hypomineralized teeth. Materials and method: Children aged 6-14 years old without any systemic conditions with 32 first and second hypomineralized permanent molar teeth were included in the study. Patients were randomly distributed into 2 groups as direct composite resin restorations and CAD-CAM supported inlay or onlay restorations. All restored teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically for 24-months. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05.
In coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-related ARDS (C-ARDS), especially in the severe form, increased shunt rate, impaired ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q), hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction inhibition, and increased immune microthrombosis may have similar effects on the right ventricle .The cardiopulmonary pathophysiology and outcomes of C-ARDS vary, and this variability requires monitoring to follow the diagnosis and treatment process. This study aimed to increase the treatment success of the prone position in C-ARDS and to provide a prognostic factor for survival by analyzing and monitoring heart-lung interactions. Therefore, we used transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to evaluate the cardiopulmonary effects of prone position.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of wearable postural feedback devices added to exercise approach on neck pain and proprioception in office workers with nonspecific chronic neck pain. H0: The effects of wearable postural feedback devices added to exercise and exercise approach on neck pain and proprioception are similar in office workers with nonspecific chronic neck pain. H1: The effects of wearable postural feedback devices added to exercise and exercise approach on neck pain and proprioception are different in office workers with nonspecific chronic neck pain. 58 office workers aged 25-55 years with nonspecific chronic neck pain will be included and divided into 2 groups, physiotherapy programs will be applied for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. All participants will be trained on office ergonomics and proper sitting posture at the beginning of the study. Group 1: Exercise and Postural feedback, Group 2: Exercise. Sociodemographic information will be questioned, pain, neck proprioception, craniovertebral angle, neck muscle strength, endurance and range of motion will be assessed. Neck disability index, physical activity level, stress perception level, fatigue level, work performance and patient satisfaction will also be evaluated at baseline and 8 weeks.
