Evaluation of postictal optic nerve sheath diameter at epileptic patients.

Introduction: During a seizure, metabolic rate and, consequently, cerebral blood flow increase to provide the required maintenance energy. It is thought that this causes an increase in intracranial pressure, but there is no comprehensive research on this subject. In this study, we aimed to measure and follow optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients who applied to the emergency department (ED) after generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures and to gain information about intracranial pressure changes in epilepsy patients in the postictal period.

Clinical-epidemiological and radiological characteristics of stroke patients: A multicentre study.

Introduction And Aim: Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults and the second most common cause of death, at a rate of 11.8% worldwide. The purpose of this study was to examine the aetiological, demographic, and clinical characteristics of patients admitted to hospital because of acute strokes.

Assessment of the relation between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and severity of ischemic stroke in a large cohort.

Aim Of Study: The NLR is a simple and inexpensive parameter that is useful as a marker of subclinical inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with acute cerebral ischemia at the time of initial evaluation in the emergency department.

Patients And Methods: The study was designed as a multicentre cross-sectional study of acute ischemic stroke patients.

Association of trans-myocardial repolarisation parameters with size of the diffusion limitation area in acute ischaemic stroke.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between transmyocardial repolarisation parameters and the size of the diffusion limitation area measured using diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI) in patients diagnosed with ischaemic stroke without known cardiac diseases.

Material And Methods: The study was a prospective, observational clinical study. Patients without cardiac disease with acute ischaemic stroke were included in the study.

Quantitative analysis of the retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer and optic disc parameters by the swept source optical coherence tomography in patients with migraine and patients with tension-type headache.

The aim of the study was to measure the thicknesses of the inner retinal segments and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters in migraineurs and patients with tension-type headache (TTH) in headache-free period using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to compare the outcomes with each other and those of healthy subjects. The study population consisted of 23 migraineurs, 22 TTH patients, and 25 controls with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 and without a history of systemic or ocular disease. Macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL), macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC), circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL), and ONH parameters were evaluated using SS-OCT, and the areas under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated to determine the ability of these parameters to distinguish between the patient and normal eyes.

Visual Field Losses in Patients with Migraine without Aura and Tension-Type Headache.

The aim of the study was to compare the visual fields during pain attacks in the patients with migraine without aura and tension-type headache using automated perimetry. In this study 25 patients with migraine and 25 patients with tension-type headache were evaluated.The optic disc, macula and retina were assessed and patients with normal values were enrolled into the study.

The evaluation of a new marker of transmyocardial repolarization parameters in ischemic stroke patients; T -T (T ), T /QT.

The cardiovascular manifestations of acute ischemic stroke have been well known. Several electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities have been reported in patients following acute stroke, including QT interval prolongation, ST segment deviation and T-wave changes. This study aimed to investigate the changes in transmyocardial repolarization parameters, in ischemic stroke patients.

Frequency and types of headaches in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Background And Purpose: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and headaches are common public health problems in whole world. The relationship between headaches and the MetS isn't understood clearly. Purpose - The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and types of headaches, and evaluate the relationship between headache characteristics and clinical and laboratory parameters analyzed in patients diagnosed with MetS.

The fate of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve after surgical reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip: preliminary results.

This study aimed to determine the fate of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) after anterior reduction of the hip with or without pelvic or proximal femoral osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia. Using the antidromic technique, recording the response using standard electromyography equipment, evaluation was made of the LFCN in 36 hips of 24 patients (18 female and six male). The response was absent in six patients (25%) and nine patients (37.
