Utilizing metabolomic profiling as a supportive diagnostic tool for radiologically isolated syndrome.

Background: Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) characterized by abnormalities on MRI that do not manifest as clinical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) but raise suspicion for MS. Considering that RIS often evolves into MS, various diagnostic criteria have been established, and each suggested biomarker warrants thorough consideration and discussion. In this study, metabolomic profiling of body fluids of patients who were being followed up with a pre-diagnosis of RIS or MS and had not yet received any treatment was conducted.

MRI radiomics based machine learning model of the periaqueductal gray matter in migraine patients.

Background And Purpose:

Neuropsychological and Neurophysiological Assessment in Different Phases of Bipolar Disorder.

Background: Recent studies have shown that cognitive deficits are significant and pervasive even among remitted bipolar disorder patients. The aim of the current controlled study was to investigate the relationships between cognitive performances, symptom severity, and event-related potentials with regard to different episodes in bipolar patients.

Methods: This study was conducted on a total of 60 patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder (20 depressive, 20 manic, and 20 in remission).

An atypical case of corticobasal syndrome with psychotic depression and delusional jealousy.

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is one of the Parkinson-plus disorders. While initially defined as a movement disorder rather than cognition, it is now known that CBS is related to various psychiatric symptoms. We describe a patient clinically diagnosed with CBS whose initial presentation was psychiatric and rather atypical.

Serum vitamin D status does not correlate with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in male adults: A controlled study design with minimized factors influencing serum vitamin D levels.

Observational studies performed in homogeneous groups to objectively investigate the cause and effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and sleep disorders are scarce. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the relationship between the severity of OSAS and vitamin-D levels among the participants whose features affecting serum vit-D levels were minimised. Serum 25-OH vitamin-D levels in 121 OSAS Male patients diagnosed by polysomnography without any systemic disease or vitamin-D supplement that may effect the vitamin-D metabolism were measured.
