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.
Digital addiction has become a prevalent concern among adolescents, particularly middle school students. This study aims to develop and evaluate an addiction management model for 6th-grade students at risk of digital addiction. The model will combine standardized psychological resilience training with emotional freedom techniques to address both the behavioral and emotional aspects of digital addiction.
COPD presents not only respiratory symtoms but also vascular or muscle dysfunction. Exercise training is important for aerobic performance increasing. Generally results show exercise training with both lower limb. Increaed arterial stiffness and muscle oxygenation are observed in COPD. One leg exercise result is not enough to highlight these parameters.
The present study aimed to evaluate the distribution of NLRP3, AIM2, and IFI16 inflammasome gene polymorphisms in individuals with Stage III Grade B and C periodontitis and periodontally healthy individuals. 80 periodontally healthy, 80 Stage III Grade B and 80 Stage III Grade C periodontitis patients will be enrolled. Blood samples will be collected from each participants and clinical parameteres will be recorded for whole mouth. DNA isolation will be performed from all samples. The SNP regions with the numbers rs4612666, rs75985579, and rs2793845 will be detected from DNA material using Real-Time PCR device genotyping kits. Data will be analyzed using statistical tests.
In this study, the effect of increased venous return and increased intra-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure in the lithotomy position was evaluated.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different surgical positions (supine/prone) on lung mechanical power (MP) and its relationship with postoperative pulmonary complications in patients planned to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) under general anesthesia.
The rate of elderly population is increasing in the world. It is reported that the proportion of the world population over the age of 60 will increase to 22% by 2050 (Lichterfeld Kottner et al. 2020). With advancing age, the skin is inevitably affected and becomes more vulnerable to possible damage (Brooks et al. 2017). Additionally, as the skin ages, it undergoes many internal and external deteriorations. Intrinsic aging refers to biological changes that cannot be prevented to a large extent. External factors; exposure to conditions such as ultraviolet rays and radiation (Cowdell, 2011). In addition, in elderly individuals, conditions such as frequent washing, especially washing with harsh products, lack of hygiene, trauma, decreased peripheral satisfaction, immobility, incontinence, diabetes, vascular changes, malnutrition, use of multiple medications, depression, and dementia are among the situations that increase the risk of deterioration in skin health (Cowdell et al. 2015) Hypotheses of the Research H0-1=The care given to elderly patients according to the protocol prepared has no effect on the moisture status of the skin. H1-1= The care given to elderly patients according to the prepared protocol affects the moisture status of the skin. H0-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has no effect on their dermatological lives. H1-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has an impact on their dermatological lives. H0-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared for elderly patients has no effect on general comfort. H1-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared in elderly patients has an effect on general comfort.
PtenTurkiye.org' is a national ( Turkish), web-based registry for PTEN Hamartoma Tumour ( PHTS) syndrome established in 2022. It is designed to increase awareness, gather scientific knowledge by collaboration and increase data accessibility, collect high-quality data on the epidemiology, genetic background and natural history of PHTS especially for pediatric patients so that more accurate follow up guidelines can be recommended.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of different anesthesia methods (general anesthesia with epidural catheter application and spinal anesthesia with epidural catheter application) applied in elective hysterectomy surgeries performed in our hospital. The aim is to compare the advantages of both methods.
Because of its high incidence, it is essential to determine the neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest. However, there is not much information to guide post-cardiac arrest care. Also, dynamic monitoring of the state of the brain can help provide information about the patient's prognosis other than previously described serum biomarkers. Therefore, the researchers will monitor postcardiac arrest patients in the intensive care unit for 48 hours by electroencephalogram and cerebral oximetry and collect blood samples for serum biomarkers: neuron-specific enolase (NSE), human neurogranin (NRGN) and human trigger receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-2), which are associated with neuronal damage. And investigate the relation of these data to mortality.
Surgical treatment is performed with the aim of reducing, halting the progression of, or treating certain pathological conditions in the human body by removing some tissue or organs from the body. Wedge resection is considered an effective method for the treatment of lung cancer. The wedge resection method is utilized in both malignant and non-malignant pulmonary pathologies (such as bronchiectasis, aspergilloma, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, tuberculosis, fungal infections, inflammatory pseudotumors, hydatid cyst, and benign masses). Following surgical procedures such as Video-Assisted Thorascopic Surgery (VATS) and wedge resection, side effects and complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, prolonged air leakage, chylothorax, sepsis, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, empyema, bronchopleural fistula, pain, anxiety, dyspnea, fatigue, and insomnia can occur. Non-pharmacological methods are observed to increase comfort and control in patients, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as music therapy, hot or cold therapy, hypnosis, aromatherapy, massage, progressive relaxation exercises, deep breathing exercises, pursed lip breathing, yoga, and meditation can be employed in the management of postoperative symptoms such as pain, anxiety, dyspnea, insomnia, and fatigue. Studies involving breathing exercises have shown that they reduce anxiety and pain scores after exercise. Alternate nostril breathing, a yoga practice, is considered one of the best breathing exercises for health and fitness. It has positive effects on dyspnea, anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders.
