The effect of subthalamic deep brain stimulation on autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease: clinical and electrophysiological evaluation.

: Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an important option in the treatment of motor symptoms and fluctuations in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition to the improvement in motor symptoms, many studies have reported changes in some non-motor symptoms (NMS) after STN DBS.: 61 patients (42 males) who underwent STN DBS with advanced PD and 24 healthy controls (15 males) were included in the study.

Infarct Volumes of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants due to Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation.

Unlabelled: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been shown to decrease the risk of ischemic stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This study aims to investigate whether DOACs result in a significant change in lesion volume and the severity of the subsequent disability in patients who have experienced a stroke.

Methods: The study included a total of 137 patients with NVAF and acute stroke.

Polyneuropathy and the sural/radial sensory nerve action potential ratio in primary Sjögren's syndrome.

: Polyneuropathy is the most common neurological complication in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). A ratio of sural nerve and superficial radial nerve sensorial action potential amplitudes (SRARs) of <0.4 is an indicator for early axonal neuropathy.

The relationship between QDASH scale and clinical, electrophysiological findings in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire is a selfadministered region-specific outcome instrument which measures symptom severity and functional status.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and electrophysiological relationship with QDASH scale in CTS.

Carpal tunnel syndrome: elastosonographic strain ratio and cross-sectional area evaluation for the diagnosis and disease severity.

Aim: To evaluate the role of gray scale ultrasonography (US) and real time elastosonography (RTE) in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Materials And Methods: Both wrists of 18 healthy volunteers (n=36) formed the control group (Group 1) and 19 symptomatic outpatients of the neurology clinic constituted the patient group. According to nerve conduction study results, cases with mild CTS (n=15) formed Group 2; cases with moderate to severe CTS (n=20) formed Group 3.
