Effect of bladder dysfunction on development of depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease.

Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) often presents with movement disorder. However, besides motor complaints, there are many complaints such as anxiety, depression, urinary complaints and constipation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether neurogenic lower urinary dysfunction (NLUD), which is frequently seen in PD, has an effect on the development of anxiety and depression in these patients.

Salvage of the retinal ganglion cells in transition phase in Alzheimer's disease with topical coenzyme Q10: is it possible?

Purpose: The evaluation of the short-term effect of topically applied coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on retina and choroid in Alzheimer's disease (AD) was aimed in this study.

Methods: Randomized controlled study included a total of 93 patients, 62 of whom with AD. Thirty (32.

Dual-task interference during hand dexterity is a predictor for activities of daily living performance in Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: Dual-task interference (DTI) leads to impairment of hand dexterity in Parkinson's disease (PD). The performance of activities of daily living (ADL) is negatively affected by dexterity in PD. However, the contribution of DTI to dexterity-related ADL disability remains unclear.

Does Levetiracetam Administration Prevent Cardiac Damage in Adulthood Rats Following Neonatal Hypoxia/Ischemia-Induced Brain Injury?

Cardiovascular abnormalities are widespread when a newborn is exposed to a hypoxic-ischemic injury in the neonatal period. Although the neuroprotective effects of levetiracetam (LEV) have been reported after hypoxia, the cardioprotective effects of LEV have not been documented. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether levetiracetam (LEV) has a protective effect on cardiac-contractility and ultrastructure of heart muscle in rats exposed to hypoxia-ischemia (HI) during the neonatal period.

Primary headache associated with sexual activity: A case report.

Headaches provoked by triggering factors have been recognized for many decades. In many cases, the development of such headaches is secondary to an underlying pathology. However, in some cases, no abnormality can be identified.

Is there a difference between Parkinson disease patients and a control group in terms of urinary symptoms and quality of life?

Background/aim: The aim of this study is to research whether urinary symptoms and disruption of quality of life observed in Parkinson disease patients are different than those of their healthy peers. Additionally, whether these complaints were affected by characteristics such as age at onset of Parkinson disease, sex, disease duration, and severity was investigated.

Materials And Methods: This study comprised a total of 79 individuals, 39 Parkinson patients and a control group of 40 individuals.

The association between symptoms of sexual dysfunction and age at onset in Parkinson's disease.

Objective: Age at onset in Parkinson's disease (PD) seems to be related nonmotor symptoms. In this study we investigated the effect of the age at onset on symptoms of sexual dysfunction (SSD) in patients with PD.

Methods: This prospective study comprised 22 consecutive outpatients with early onset PD (EOPD-onset of the disease before 55 years), and 66 outpatients with late onset PD (LOPD-onset of PD over 55 years).

Evaluating the relationship between education level and cognitive impairment with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test.

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is defined as 'a cognitive decline greater than that expected for an individual's age and education level but that does not interfere notably with activities of daily life'. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a screening test for MCI.

Methods: We investigated the performance of the Turkish version of the MoCA in detecting MCI among elderly persons in a rural area, the majority of whom have a low level of education.

"Jumping stump" phenomenon.

Myoclonic spasm of an amputated extremity can be problematic for amputees and requires recognition and understanding by surgeons encountering the phenomenon. In the present brief report, we describe the condition in a female amputee after below-the-knee amputation. Our aim is to increase awareness of this condition among foot and ankle surgeons.

The relation of sexual dysfunction to depression and anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to find out whether sexual dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) was associated to PD-related disability and whether this relationship was modulated by depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Methods: Eighty-nine consecutive patients with idiopathic PD who attended to our movement disorders outpatient clinics between January 2011 and June 2014 were included in this study. The diagnosis of PD was confirmed by a movement disorders specialists in Neurology, according to UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Criteria.

Intravitreal bevacizumab effects on VEGF levels in distant organs: an experimental study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of single-dose intravitreal bevacizumab on the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in serum and distant organs.

Methods: Adult New Zealand albino rabbits (n = 40) were divided into experimental and control groups. Experimental rabbits received a single 0.
