Ictal asystole (IA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of focal epilepsy. The sudden onset of loss of consciousness and drop attacks in a patient with chronic epilepsy should suggest the possibility of this complication. Once the diagnosis is established, rapid management should be considered, especially in high-risk cases.

- Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) makes it hard for people to sleep at night and can make them super sleepy during the day, which is bad for their health and daily life.
- * Researchers tested how well smartwatches can detect OSAS compared to a fancy sleep test called polysomnography (PSG).
- * The study found that smartwatches are pretty good at predicting OSAS, especially in severe cases, and could be used more often to help people check for sleep problems without needing a doctor right away.
Aim: The frequency of olfactory dysfunction in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has revealed very different results in studies. Some studies have shown that olfactory dysfunction may be associated with cognitive impairment and poor quality of life. In these studies, different odor tests and cognitive tests were used and different results were obtained.

Illness perception is defined as a cognitive aspect of illness. The aim of this study is to determinethe relationship of migraine and TTH with quality of life, illness perception, anxiety and depression.

Material And Method: Seventy patients presenting to the neurology clinic and diagnosed with MS and 70 healthy volunteers with similar demographic characteristics were included in the study. The California Verbal Learning Test II (CVLT II), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), Revised Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (BVMT-R), and Trail-Making Test (TMT) were applied to determine all participants' cognitive status.
Cerebral lesions causing aphasia involve morphological and functional changes. In this study, it was aimed to explain the connection between aphasia and subcortical lesions with SPECT. The study included 30 patients diagnosed in the first three days of stroke with a single hemorrhagic or ischemic lesion in the dominant hemisphere subcortical area.

- The study investigates the relationship between headaches and idiopathic/genetic epilepsy (I/GE) in patients aged 6-40 years, focusing on headache prevalence and characteristics among these individuals.
- Out of 809 patients, 62.8% reported headaches, with 87.4% experiencing interictal headaches and 41.2% having migraines; the analysis identified distinct clusters based on headache and epilepsy features for both adults and children/adolescents.
- Two primary clusters emerged: one included patients with a family history of headaches and specific seizure types (like juvenile myoclonic epilepsy), while the other contained patients with different characteristics, including those with self-limited epilepsy and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. *
Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that is treated with multiple medications that can have significant side effects. This study investigated the potential effects of antiepileptic drugs on thyroid function.
Methods: The participants in this study were epileptic adults who had been consistently monitored in follow-up care.
Background/aim: Although many headache patients report that the frequency and severity of attacks vary according to the season or weather in clinical practice, the relationship between the characteristics of the attacks and the weather is not very clear in episodic headaches. We aimed to compare the effects of weather variables (temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, pressure, ultraviolet index, and sunshine duration) on episodic migraine (EM) and episodic tension-type headache (ETTH) attacks (incidence, duration, and severity).
Materials And Methods: Fifty patients with EM and fifty patients with ETTH diagnosed according to International Classification of Headache Disorders-II are included in the study.
