Filter by:A diet with a higher intake of fish and fruits, and vegetables, has shown promise in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Intake of a diet with these components has been linked to fewer respiratory symptoms and lower rates of lung disease in multiple studies. In addition, emerging research suggests that a diet with these components may have the power to protect the body against some of the effects of exposure to air pollution. In this study, participants will receive food, meals, and counseling designed to increase their dietary intake of fish, fruits, and vegetables. The research team will test the change in diet and learn ways to optimize the participants' experience.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of shellac nail polish application on pulse oximetry measurements in healthy subjects. This study was planned as a prospective, self-controlled clinical research to determine the effect of shellac nail polish application on SpO2 and pulse values in healthy people. The population of the study will consist of women who had shellac nail polish application in a private beauty centre between June 2023 and December 2023. The minimum required sample size was calculated as 162 in G*Power (3.1.9.2) programme (α=0.05 (two-way), 1-β=0.95). The data will be collected with the data collection form prepared in line with the literature. Firstly, the personal information of the participants will be recorded in the data collection form. The middle finger of the left hand of each participant will be the treatment group and the little finger will be the control group. After the shellac nail polish is applied to the middle finger of the left hand, SpO2 and pulse values will be measured simultaneously with a pulse oximeter from the left hand middle finger and little finger of the participant and recorded on the data form. The data obtained from the study will be analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 26.0 software.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of gel nail application on pulse oximetry measurements in healthy subjects. This study was planned as a prospective, self-controlled clinical research to determine the effect of gel nail application on SpO2 and pulse values in healthy people. The population of the study will consist of women who had gel nail application in a private beauty centre between July 2023 and October 2023. The minimum required sample size was calculated as 162 in G*Power (3.1.9.2) programme (α=0.05 (two-way), 1-β=0.95). The data will be collected with the data collection form prepared in line with the literature. Firstly, the personal information of the participants will be recorded in the data collection form. The middle finger of the left hand of each participant will be the treatment group and the little finger will be the control group. After the gel nail is applied to the middle finger of the left hand, SpO2 and pulse values will be measured simultaneously with a pulse oximeter from the left hand middle finger and little finger of the participant and recorded on the data form.

This study is a pioneering study in which the effect of the consumption of cakes produced with the addition of cereal-like products such as chia and flax seeds, which have high soluble fiber content, on blood glucose and insulin values, and the effect on the satiety response of individuals after consumption of cakes, will be a pioneer in many subjects. As a result of the study, the relationships between the changes in the investigated parameters and the possible changes in these parameters will be revealed. The results obtained suggest that foods rich in soluble fiber such as chia and flaxseed and foods produced with the possible synergetic effect of chia and flaxseed are used in healthy and safe products suitable for our consumption habits, and that these products are both protective and protective against the development of complications such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. The investigators think that it may also play a role in preventing its progress.
The objectives of the study are to investigate if KCNQ1 mutation in Romano-Ward long QT patients can be associated with changes in insulin regulation and with psychological features of compulsivity, impulsivity and behavioural rigidity.
Age-related hearing loss, presbycusis, affects up to 50% of American adults. There are two main causes for presbycusis: 1) Progressive death of hair cells in the inner ear, and 2) Central hearing loss, or the reduced ability to decipher the sound source of interest from other competing sounds in a multi-source complex environment. The first cause is better understood and treatment options, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, are available. However, central hearing loss is not as well understood and there is not a treatment available at this time. This study aims to advance our understanding of central hearing loss by evaluating the abilities of younger and older listeners in two primary outcome measures: to 1) neurologically process sound stimuli and 2) focus on conversational speech in the presence of spatially-separated competing background noise. A test using Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) will be used to evaluate the brain's response to clicking sounds. This study will assess all waveform data, but will focus particularly on wave III. Sentence in noise tests will be used to assess each subject's ability to process speech in noisy situations. Both the ABR and sentence in noise tests are non-invasive and are commonly used in audiology practices to diagnosis and treat a variety of audiological pathologies.
The investigators will conduct a parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind ascending dose Phase I study of dietary supplementation in healthy individuals to evaluate safety and to determine the pharmacologically effective dose (ED).
The aim of this project is to investigate: - The status of the central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) system in compulsive behaviour and how it is affected by sub-chronic escitalopram administration - The mechanisms underlying how sub-chronic administration of escitalopram affects the central 5-HT system - How changes in cognitive performance, including the balance between habitual and goal-directed mechanisms, are affected in compulsive behaviour by boosting 5-HT function - How functional brain changes in cognitive function measured with magnetic resonance imaging relate to altered 5-HT function following escitalopram administration.
Muscle activity in the aquatic environment was investigated while performing different exercises by electromyography analysis, due to conflicting results in the literature in relation to the floor. This study evaluated and compared the electrical activity of the rectus femoris and biceps femoris, in aquatic method and on the floor, during flexion and knee extension exercises with and without load.
The aim of the study is to investigate how the retina adapts to different metabolic challenges, e.g. chronic systemic hypoxia, hyperglycemia, special training conditions or diets as well as transient changes in the content of oxygen and glucose in the blood.
