Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between electrophysiological findings of diabetic neuropathy (DN) and patients' quality of life, neuropathic pain levels, and well-being.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 centers in Turkey. DN patients were categorized into four stages based on electrophysiological findings using the Baba classification.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and lockdown period may induce an impairment in quality of life (QoL), disruption in treatment (DIT), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in chronic neurological diseases (CNDs). To reach this information, a multicenter, cross-sectional study (COVQoL-CND) was planned. Parkinson's disease (PD), headache (HA), multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy (EP), polyneuropathy (PNP), and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) were selected as the CND.

Materials And Methods: Fifty consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to the stroke unit were recruited. Patients were classified by two stroke and two general neurologists, each from different medical centers, according to TOAST followed by the CCS.
We report a 41-year-old patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) who was successfully desensitized after she developed non-injection-site urticaria and angioedema due to interferon (IFN)-beta1a. Although a few cases of urticaria and anaphylaxis have been reported in the literature, to our knowledge this is the first report of a successful desensitization with IFN-beta1a. Desensitization with IFN-beta1a allowed us to continue with the administration of interferon-beta, which is a mainstay in treatment for MS.

He gave a 10-year history of definite ankylosing spondylitis with low back pain, limitation of spinal mobility, decreased chest expansion and radiological evidence of bilateral sacroiliitis. The vertigo attacks started 3 years before and he had insidious evolution of bilateral leg weakness, increased muscle tension and walking disability during the past 2 years.

We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of 1 g dipyrone (Novalgin, two 500 mg tablets) on pain and related symptoms in acute migraine attacks with or without aura in a double-blind, cross-over, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study design.

Methods: During 12 months, 222 consecutive stroke patients were enrolled in this study. Of them 162 had ischemic stroke and 60 had hemorrhagic stroke.
Objective: A controversy exists on the definition, etiology and treatment of the retractile testes. In the present experimental study, we aimed to show the effect of botulinum-A toxin (Botox) on cremasteric muscle of a rat, and whether it may be an alternative to surgical treatment of retractile testis.
Methods: Ten Wistar rats were used in the study.
