Effects of Music Therapy on Sleep Quality in Patients Who Had Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation...
Hematologic DiseasesIn patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant; Side effects associated with high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, night treatment and care, social isolation cause emotional problems and deterioration in sleep quality in this patient population. In a meta-analysis conducted in 2014, it was reported that music can be effective in improving sleep quality. In this study, an experimental design with pre-test - post-test control group will be used to evaluate the effect of music therapy on sleep quality given to patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It will be held between December 2020 and May 2021 at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital. The population of the study will be the patients hospitalized in the unit within the specified date range and the sample number was determined as 30.

Safety and Tolerability Evaluation of MaaT033
Hematologic DiseasesChemotherapy EffectRichness and diversity of gut microbiota are increasingly found to be associated with cancer outcomes. Moreover, an adequately responsive immune system seems to rely on the existence of a functioning gut ecosystem that includes the microbiota and its natural environment. Cancer by itself, but also cancer treatments - in particular chemotherapy - induce gut dysbiosis, impair the constant reparation mechanisms of the gut epithelium, disrupt immune homeostasis, and stunt immune responsiveness. The objective of MaaT033 is to (1) prevent the decay of the gut ecosystem (dysbiosis) to preserve immune homeostasis, (2) restore and optimize the gut ecosystem to full functionality including its role in repairing the gut epithelium and healthy gut barrier, and (3) maintain a restored gut ecosystem and fully functional immune homeostasis. Restoring the full gut ecosystem and its associated microbiota could become an important therapeutic option to improve clinical outcomes and control adverse events of conventional approaches, including immunotherapy in cancer patients. As a first step, MaaT033 capsules containing lyophilized, pooled, full-ecosystem microbiota in its natural environment are to be tested for their safety and tolerability in hematological malignant patients, who are exposed to intensive rounds of chemotherapy and antibiotics.
Pharmaco-economic Study of a New Medical Device Performed From the Perspective of the Hospital
Hematologic DiseaseThe purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of mouthwashes Caphosol ™ in addition to standard oral care (strategy A) is cost-effective in the prevention and treatment of severe mucositis in adult patients with auto or allograft packaging without ICT versus mouthwashes standard bicarbonates with an antiseptic (strategy B).
