An analysis of neuropathic pain, vasomotor manifestations, and sympathetic skin reactions in post-COVID-19 patients relative to healthy individuals.

This study aims to assess the incidence of neuropathic pain, vasomotor symptoms, and sympathetic skin responses (SSR) in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection and contrast these findings with healthy controls. The study encompassed 56 post-COVID-19 patients and 40 healthy controls (group 1: post-COVID-19 patients, and group 2: healthy controls). The presence of autonomic dysfunction symptoms (ADS) and orthostatic hypotension following COVID-19 infection was documented in group 1.

Evaluation of ganglion cell complex and retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in epilepsy patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the perimacular ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements of epileptic and healthy individuals.

Methods: The right eyes of 38 epileptic and 38 healthy individuals who had been using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for at least 1 year were included in the study. Central macular thickness, perimacular GCC thickness and volume, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layers were measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) device.

Comparative assessment of choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index in patients with restless legs syndrome.

Background: Increased sympathetic activity has been emphasized in the pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome (RLS). This study aims to evaluate the choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) values of individuals with RLS.

Methods: A total of 60 volunteers, 30 individuals with RLS and 30 healthy individuals, were included in the study.

What are the trends in the treatment of multiple sclerosis in recent studies? - A bibliometric analysis with global productivity during 1980-2021.

Background: There is no bibliometric analysis in the literature on the subject of the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), which is a disease with increasing prevalence, severely affecting the life and quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientific articles published on the subject of MS treatment, using bibliometric approaches and statistical methods, and thereby show the trend subjects and global productivity.

Methods: From 14,443 publications on the subject of MS between 1980 and 2021, 5010 in the category of article were retrieved from the Web of Science and analyzed statistically.
