Relationship between Gravidity, Parity, and Neurophysiological Features in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) Patients with a History of Pregnancy.

Background: It is not yet clear if gravidity and parity have any relationships with the electrodiagnostic parameters of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Objective: To determine whether there is a relationship between electrodiagnostic findings, gravidity, and parity number in CTS.

Materials And Methods: Female patients over 18 years of age with CTS were included in this retrospective cohort study.

The effect of Jendrassik maneuver on the persistence of the peroneal nerve F-wave.

Objectives: This study investigated whether peroneal nerve F-wave persistence increased when the Jendrassik maneuver (JM) was performed, aiming to obtain information about the physiology of F-waves and JM.

Patients And Methods: Thirty healthy individuals (HIs; 17 females, 13 males; mean age: 33.6±8.

Needle electromyography abnormalities in the upper trapezius muscle in neuromuscular disorders.

Background: : Needle electromyography (EMG) abnormalities in the trapezius muscle (TM) can be seen in neuromuscular disorders. The aim was to determine the characteristics of needle EMG abnormalities observed in the TM in neuromuscular disorders.

Methods: The data of patients who applied to the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory of University of Health Sciences Adana City Training and Research Hospital between December 2018 and October 2021 were reviewed.

Optical coherence tomography neurodegenerative findings in patients with bipolar disorder.

Introduction: Neuroimaging studies of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have recently revealed neurodegenerative changes in the central nervous system. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the retina, as an extension of brain, may be a biomarker in understanding the neurobiology of the disease. To assess OCT as a tool to detect neurodegeneration in BD we compared the retinal changes between patients with BD and healthy individuals.

The needle electromyography findings in the neurophysiological classification of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.

Background/aim: Although ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE) is the second most common entrapment mononeuropathy, there are few reports on its neurophysiological classification. In this study, we tried to find out the role of needle electromyography (EMG) in the neurophysiological classification of UNE.

Materials And Methods: UNE patients who met the clinical and neurophysiological diagnostic criteria and healthy individuals were included in this study.

Olfactory bulbus volume and olfactory sulcus depth in psychotic patients and patients with anxiety disorder/depression.

Objectives: In the present study, we investigated olfactory bulb (OB) volume and olfactory sulcus (OS) depth of the psychotic patients (predominantly schizophrenia) and patients with anxiety disorder/depression.

Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively. Group 1 consisted of 30 psychotic patients (predominantly schizophrenia) (19 males and 11 females).

The evaluation of temperament and quality of life in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Aims: To evaluate the temperament and quality of life (QoL) of patients with PCOS.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-three adult patients with PCOS and 38 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Demographic characteristics including age, education and body mass index (BMI) were recorded.

The effect of temperament on the treatment adherence of bipolar disorder type I.

Background And Aims: Treatment adherence is one of the most important factors that may determine treatment response in patients with bipolar disorders (BD). Many factors have been described to be associated with treatment adherence in BD. Temperament that can influence the course of BD will have an impact on treatment adherence.

Effects of comorbid anxiety disorders on the course of bipolar disorder-I.

Background And Aims: Although comorbid anxiety disorders (AD) are quite frequent in bipolar disorders (BD), data on how this comorbidity affects BD are limited. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of comorbid AD in Turkish patients with bipolar disorder-I (BD-I) and the effects of comorbid AD on the course of BD-I.

Methods: 114 patients with BD-I were included in the study.

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profile in patients with restless legs syndrome.

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is associated with psychiatric disorders. We aim to investigate the personality traits of RLS patients using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.

Methods: Twenty adult patients with RLS (14 females and 6 males) and 20 healthy controls (14 females and 6 males) who were referred to university neurology were enrolled in the present study.
