Randomized Controlled TrialEvaluation of pulmonary nodules by magnetic resonance imaging sequences: which sequence will replace computed tomography?
This study aimed to determine the role of magnetic resonance imaging in minimizing radiation exposure, especially in the follow-up of pulmonary nodules. ⋯ In this study of detecting pulmonary nodules by magnetic resonance imaging, which we performed with two different readers, one of whom was an experienced thoracic radiologist, both readers found the highest detection rate in the postcontrast T1 vibe sequence.

Randomized Controlled TrialOral dydrogesterone in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles.
The aim of this study was to compare the use of micronized vaginal progesterone and oral dydrogesterone in the endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer. ⋯ The use of oral dydrogesterone may be a more patient-friendly approach to endometrial preparation in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, avoiding undesirable side effects and discomfort resulting from vaginal administration, while also providing similar reproductive results.

Randomized Controlled TrialBreastfeeding success in the first 6 months of online breastfeeding counseling after cesarean delivery and its effect on anthropometric measurements of the baby: a randomized controlled study.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of online breastfeeding counseling after cesarean section on breastfeeding success and anthropometric measurements of the baby in the first 6 months. ⋯ Breastfeeding training and online counseling given to mothers who give birth by cesarean section during the early postpartum period increased breastfeeding rates and self-sufficiency, and the anthropometric measurements of babies were found to be higher at healthy limits.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of therapeutic ultrasound and paraffin with or without vacuum massage on biomechanical properties of grafted skin after burn: a randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to compare the effects of therapeutic ultrasound and paraffin with or without vacuum massage on the biomechanical properties of grafted skin after a burn. ⋯ The biomechanical properties of grafted skin after a burn are altered after therapeutic intervention with ultrasound alone or associated with vacuum massage, such as intervention with paraffin associated with vacuum massage, for both parameters evaluated, skin distensibility (R0) and skin viscoelasticity (R6). However, the same did not occur for the intervention with isolated paraffin. There was no significant difference between the interventions therapeutic ultrasound and therapeutic paraffin.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of group hope therapy on self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
This study aims to determine the effect of group hope therapy on the self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes. ⋯ The results of the study suggested that group hope therapy had a significant impact on self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes but had no effect on academic self-efficacy and self-efficacy in blood glucose management.
