Introduction Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts communication, behavior, and social interaction.

Nevertheless, research on the perception of internalized stigma, family functioning, and their interconnections is scarce.

Methods: The Turkish version of the MATCH questionnaire, designed to gauge patient motivation for initiating or sustaining behaviour changes, was created through translation and adaptation. A total of 305 patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses completed the questionnaire and scale to evaluate its validity and reliability.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition treated with Tiotropium, which helps improve airflow by relaxing airway muscles.
- This study observed three groups: untreated COPD patients, healthy volunteers, and COPD patients using Tiotropium, measuring various eye parameters over a few months.
- Results indicated that Tiotropium treatment led to changes in eye measurements, including increased intraocular pressure and pupil size, but did not result in acute angle closure glaucoma among any patients.
Introduction: A number of biomarkers are used to evaluate the duration of the epileptic seizure and the interictal period following neuronal injury. Invasive diagnostic methods are increasingly being replaced by peripheral or minimally invasive biomarkers that give results faster and are more secure.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100B, and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCHL-1) levels in children with epilepsy.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether urinary glycosaminoglycans (GAG) levels reflect clinical status in men with lower urinary tract symptoms and if they could be used as a marker in management of overactive bladder (OAB).
Methods: A total of 34 patients were recruited who were admitted with LUTS and diagnosed as having clinically bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to prostate enlargement. These newly diagnosed, never treated patients underwent routine investigation, consisting of history, physical examination, PSA, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, assessment of symptoms scored by both International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Marmara- Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (M-OBQ).
