Favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: pilot study.

Objective: To evaluate the favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Methods: Following examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drugresistant epilepsy since 2010. The favorite color examination used a six-color tape and Trycolors, an online color mixing tool.

Comment on "Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a patient with metastatic breast cancer: A case report".

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurotoxic encephalopathic state, manifesting clinical symptoms of headache, altered consciousness, visual disturbances, and seizures. Although several diseases have been identified as causative of PRES, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Song recently published "Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a patient with metastatic breast cancer: A case report" in the , highlighting and discussing the role of hypercalcemia in PRES as related to uncontrolled hypertension.

Sleep Disorders in Acute Stroke.

Background: troke patients have sleep-wake disorders, mostly in form of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness/fatigue, or hypersomnia (increased sleep needs).

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze types of sleep disorder (SD) and their frequency in patients with sleep apnea and acute stroke in relation to the type of stroke and side of lesion.

Methods: The study analyzed 110 patients with sleep apnea and acute stroke hospitalized in the Clinic of Neurology, University Clinical Centre Tuzla.

Others Are to Blame (Displacement in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy).

Objective: To evaluate the defense mechanisms (DM) in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and, to determine whether displacement is associated with seizures.

Subjects And Methods: Following an examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drug-resistant epilepsy from 2010. The neuropsychological examination used the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40).

Oleh Hornykiewicz (1926-2020): Sixty Years since the Pioneering L-DOPA Application - One Year since the Death of the Pioneer.

Oleh Hornykiewicz was born on November 17, 1926 in Lamberg, Ukraine. After completing his studies in July 1951, he moved to the "Pharmacological Institute of the University of Vienna". In 1958, he started his research on centrally acting drugs at the same institute and came up with the idea of linking laboratory observations with animals with the basal ganglia of the human brain.

Risk Factors in Acute Stroke Patients With and Without Sleep Apnea.

Background: More than 50% of stroke patients have sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), mostly in the form of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). SDB represents both a risk factor and a consequence of stroke. The presence of SDB has been linked with the poorer long-term outcome and increased long-term stroke mortality.

Acute Stroke Patients with Sleep Apnea Acording to the Disability and Incidence of Relapse.

Background: Sleep is a complex process involving the interactions of several brain regions, which play a key role in regulating the sleep process, particularly the brainstem, thalamus, and anterior basal brain regions. The process of sleep is accompanied by a change in body functions, as well as a change in cerebral electrical activity, which is under the control of the autonomic nervous system.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency of stroke recurrence and disability of patients with stroke and apnea.

Cognitive Functionality of Patients with Delirium after Stroke.

Background: Delirium is a syndrome that occurs in all age groups and in many clinical departments, and is most common in intensive care units. It is an emergency, in the overlapping fields of somatic medicine, neurology and psychiatry. Delirium occurs suddenly, dramatically, and requires a quick reaction, recognition and treatment.

Does Sleep Apnea Affect the Outcome of Stroke Patients?

Background: Sleep apnea is described as an isolated risk factor for stroke or recurrent stroke which could be cause of death. In our study, the aim was to determine whether sleep apnea affects the outcome of stroke patients.

Subjects And Methods: This is a prospective study in which a group of 110 patients in the acute phase of a stroke was evaluated sleep apnea.

Cognitive Disorders in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, (auto) immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Cognitive disorders are found in over 50% of patients.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the distribution of cognitive disorders in people with MS.

Contributing Factors to the Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, (auto) immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Quality of life (QoL) refers to the perception of an individual's life in the context of the system of culture and values in which they live.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the distribution of cognitive disorders in people with MS.

Memory efficiency in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Objective: To evaluate memory in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Methods: Following an examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drug-resistant epilepsy from 2010. The neuropsychological examination used the Wechsler Memory Scale.

Ego Defence Mechanisms in Patients with Epilepsy.

Background: In order to protect itself from the pain or discomfort that would result from the forbidden instinctual impulses, the ego developed defence mechanisms (DM). Mature DMs are associated with adaptive functioning. Immature and neurotic DMs are associated with maladaptive functioning.

Post-Stroke Depression.

Introduction: The depression is a common mental disorder, especially after a stroke, which further aggravates the recovery.

Aim: To analyze depression within 48 hours and fifteen days after ischemic stroke in relation to gender and location (brain hemisphere and brain circulation).

Methods: We analyzed 40 patients (65.

Mortality and Functional Disability of Poststroke Delirium.

Introduction: Small number of studies have evaluated the mortality and the degree of functional disability of post-stroke delirium, and our aim was to determine that.

Patients And Methods: Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were performed within the first week of stroke onset, at hospital discharge, and followed-up for 3, 6 and 12 months after stroke. We used diagnostic tools such as Glasgow Coma Scale, Delirium Rating Scale, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and Mini-Mental State.

Cognitive syndromes after the first stroke.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine impairments of certain cognitive functions in certain vascular cognitive syndromes and to identify predictors of dementia.

Patients And Methods: One-year prospective study included 275 patients, who were hospitalized at the Department of Neurology Tuzla and therefore fulfilled certain criteria. Patients were divided into following subgroups of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI): dementia of strategic infarct (DSI), cortical dementia (CD), sub cortical dementia (SCD), hemorrhagic dementia (HD), and patients without dementia.
