In earthquake preparedness, nurses, who constitute the largest group among healthcare professionals, are expected to play an active role. Public health nurses, with their population-focused protection philosophy, are at the forefront of managing the earthquake preparedness phase.…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of this quadruple sensory block compared with the currently recommended procedure (adductor canal block + infiltration).

This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of a sensorimotor training protocol using a mobilized balance platform device on proprioceptive system function, movement control, balance, physical performance, pain severity, and quality of life in patients with c…

This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study aimed at characterizing tricuspid valve remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) without significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR), in relation to AF burden progression.

The overall goal of this research is to test a new model of speech motor learning, whose central hypothesis is that learning and retention are associated with plasticity not only in motor areas of the brain but in auditory and somatosensory regions as well. The strategy for the p…

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis experience profound alterations in their gut microbiota, leading to dysbiosis and increased gut permeability. This disruption facilitates the translocation of endotoxins and gut-derived uremic toxins such a…

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of peer education and traditional education on increasing knowledge and awareness of secondhand and thirdhand tobacco smoke exposure among geriatric care program students. Tobacco use and passive smoking are serious publ…

The use of benzodiazepines in older adults is associated with an increased risk of adverse effects due to age-related physiological changes. Several studies have reported a higher risk of falls and fractures, with a significant impact on quality of life, morbidity, mortality, and…

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis frequently exhibit significant gut microbiota dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability. These alterations enable the translocation of endotoxins and gut-derived uremic toxins-such as indoxyl sul…

This study will evaluate the effects of a combination dietary supplement, Cardiol Forte, on lipid and glycemic parameters in adults at low cardiovascular risk with suboptimal cholesterol levels. After a 14- to 28-day run-in period with standardized dietary and behavioral instruct…

This clinical trial will evaluate a multi-level scalable intervention called Improving Dementia Care (IDC). The investigators hypothesize that IDC will increase dementia detection in patients with impaired cognition more than the control condition, Enhanced Usual Care (EUC), over…

This prospective single-blind randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of mobilized balance platform exercises on balance parameters, pain, functional status, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A total of 36 patients diagno…

This study is testing a new medicine that might help treat people with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the study is to see if the new study medicine is safe and how well is tolerated by the body. There will be two groups of participants in this study: healthy participants and par…

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether different inspiratory-expiratory (I:E) ratios in the pursed-lip breathing (PLB) technique can improve respiratory outcomes in patients with stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) aged 40 years and older. The prim…

Anxiety is a state of worry and apprehension caused by internal and external threats. High preoperative anxiety levels have been associated with increased anesthetic requirements, higher morbidity, and mortality rates. In adult patients undergoing various surgical procedures, pre…

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether a high-fiber plant-based diet (HFPBD) can improve quality of life for people with CH. A HFPBD includes foods that are mainly from plants (for example, fruits,vegetables, nuts, beans, and whole grains). The researchers will …

Visceral obesity is a well-established risk factor for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is located on the surface of the myocardium and may directly affect cardiac function and contribute to structural and functional remodel…

This clinical trial evaluates an educational program called Algorithm-Enabled Patients Activated in Cancer Care Through Teams (A-PACT) for reducing unplanned hospital visits and improving goals of care conversations with providers among patients with solid cancers. A-PACT is an e…

Fluid replacement is considered the cornerstone of hemodynamic management in critically ill patients especially in patients with septic shock. However, only about 50% of critically ill hemodynamically unstable patients are responsive to fluids. Consequently, the resuscitation of …

Chronic post-sternotomy pain (CPSP) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, with a reported prevalence between 30% and 50%. Several studies show that a significant proportion of patients experience persistent pain long after cardiac surgery, often with a neuropathic compo…
