Purpose: This study investigated the age-dependent effects of methylphenidate (MPH) on brain metabolites including choline (Cho), N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and creatine (Cr) levels in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), striatum, cerebellum, and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) regions of the brain in adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Patients And Methods: The study was included 60 patients with ADHD between the ages of 18 and 60 years. The patients were grouped with respect to their ages as follows: 18-24 years, 25-30 years, and 31 and over years.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of two long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIA) in psychiatric disorders, especially in schizophrenia.
Patients And Methods: Eighty-three patients treated with dual LAIA were included in the study by retrospective screening from the hospital registration system. The present study was designed as an observational, retrospective, naturalistic mirror-image study.
Background: Using therapeutic techniques and conducting motivational interviews in communication with patients with schizophrenia increases individuals' functional remission, insight, and motivation levels.
Aim: This single-blind, randomized controlled study examines the effect of Interpersonal Relations Theory-Based motivational interviews on functional remission and insight levels in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: The participants of this study were 40 patients with schizophrenia randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups (20 in each group).
In this study, a multi ion-selective electrode system was developed for simultaneous determination of Ca, Mg, K and NH ions. The system, called electronic tongue, was used for the quantitative determination of these ions in different water samples. The measurement system was comprised of sixteen ion-selective electrodes, an Ag/AgCl double-junction reference electrode, and a sixteen-channel multi-potentiometer.
