The Triglyceride-Glucose Index as a Marker in Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome.

Background and objective Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is more common in diabetic patients than in the general population. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between idiopathic RLS and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, which is a simple and accessible marker of insulin resistance (IR). Materials and methods The study included 200 patients diagnosed with RLS according to the International Restless Study Group criteria, as well as 112 healthy volunteers.

An Evaluation of Minimal F-wave Sensitivity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Background and objective Several recent studies have explored whether F-waves can be a sensitive and useful tool for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In light of this, we aimed to measure the minimal F-wave latencies in patients with mild, moderate, and severe electrophysiologically diagnosed carpal CTS, as well as individuals without CTS, to determine at which point this parameter becomes sensitive to the syndrome. Materials and methods Nerve conduction studies were carried out in a room where a temperature of 22-24 °C was maintained.

Effects of the Cold Pressor Test on Popliteal Vein Diameter, Flow Velocity, and Blood Flow in the Lower Limb in 60 Healthy Individuals.

BACKGROUND In various situations such as pain, exposure to hot or cold, and mental stress, where physiological stress occurs, the increased excitatory response in the sympathetic efferent neurons leads to an increased return of blood flow from the peripheral veins to the right atrium. The cold pressor test (CPT) is based on the effects of a cold stimulus that activates afferent sensory pathways to trigger a sympathetic response, resulting in an increase in blood pressure. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the cold pressor test on popliteal vein diameter, flow velocity, and blood flow in the lower limbs in 60 healthy individuals.

The prevalence of papilledema in patients with migraine: a crucial cooccurrence of migraine and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in patients with migraine by screening for papilledema.

Materials And Methods: We have included all the patients with migraine who applied to our neurology clinic during December 2019 and accepted to participate in the study. The demographic and clinical characteristics including migraine subtype (episodic/chronic), headache frequency per month, and headache characteristics of all patients were interrogated.

Nutritional status and anthropometric measurements of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To determine the nutritional status and anthropometric measurements of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: This research was conducted on 37 (15 men, 22 women) new diagnosed MS patients who applied to Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital, Ankara Turkey, from June to August 2011. The nutritional status of patients was determined by a 3-day and 24-hour dietary record and a food frequency questionnaire.

Drug treatment failures and effectivity in children with newly diagnosed epilepsy.

Purpose: To determine the percentage of children whom first-line antiepileptic drug treatment failed and the specific reasons for the treatment failure in newly diagnosed epilepsy.

Methods: Hospital records were reviewed for 225 children who were newly diagnosed with epilepsy, started on the first antiepileptic drug, and then monitored for approximately 4.2 years.
