Abstract

WOS: 000430763800010 PubMed ID: 29395671 The aim of this study was to search for the frequency of late onset Pompe disease (LOPD) among patients who had a myopathy with unknown diagnosis registered in the pre-diagnostic part of a novel registry for LOPD within a collaborative study of neurologists working throughout Turkey. Included in the study were 350 patients older than 18 years who have a myopathic syndrome without a proven diagnosis by serum creatine kinase (CK) levels, electrodiagnostic studies, and/or muscle pathology, and/or genetic tests for myopathies other than LOPD. Acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) in dried blood spot was measured in each patient at two different university laboratories. LOPD was confirmed by mutation analysis in patients with decreased GAA levels from either both or one of the laboratories. Pre-diagnostic data, recorded by 45 investigators from 32 centers on 350 patients revealed low GAA levels in a total of 21 patients; from both laboratories in 6 and from either one of the laboratories in 15. Among them, genetic testing proved LOPD in 3 of 6 patients and 1 of 15 patients with decreased GAA levels from both or one of the laboratories respectively. Registry was transferred to Turkish Neurological Association after completion of the study for possible future use and development. Our collaborative study enabled collection of a considerable amount of data on the registry in a short time. GAA levels by dried blood spot even from two different laboratories in the same patient may not prove LOPD. LOPD seemed to be rarer in Turkey than in Europe. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Author

Garli M, Kurna SA, Gozke E, and Yukselen NP

Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of the study are to assess the peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients compared to healthy subjects., Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight eyes from 64 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Eighty-two eyes of 41 MS patients and 46 eyes of 23 healthy subjects were examined. PPCT and RNFL were measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). PPCT was measured from the four quadrants around the optic disc at a distance of 1 mm (PPCT-1) and 2 mm (PPCT-2) from the edge of the ONH and the beginning of the retinal pigment epithelium. ONH parameters were measured with Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT-3). Disease duration, the number of episodes, MS subtypes, and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores were recorded., Results: The RNFL measurements and the mean PPCT-1 and PPCT-2 were significantly lower in MS patients compared to healthy individuals. PPCT-1 and PPCT-2 were measured as the thickest in the temporal quadrant, followed by the superior, nasal, and inferior quadrants, respectively, in both groups. When the ONH parameters were evaluated, cup/disc area ratio, cup area, and cup volume values were significantly higher, whereas optic rim volume and rim area values were significantly lower in MS patients compared to healthy subjects (p<0.05). We observed significant changes in RNFL and ONH parameters of MS patients in parallel with disease severity determined by EDSS scores and the presence of optic neuritis., Conclusion: There were significant changes in RNFL thickness, PPCT, and ONH parameters when MS patients were compared with healthy subjects. Assessment of RNFL and PPCT with OCT and ONH with HRT-3 may be useful in the follow-up of MS patients., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: None declared.

Abstract

Background: Currently, there is still no clear consensus on bridging thrombolysis (BT) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT). In this study, we aimed to compare clinical and procedural outcomes and complication rates of BT versus direct mechanical thrombectomy (d-MT) in anterior circulation stroke., Methods: A total of 359 consecutive anterior circulation stroke patients who received d-MT or BT in our tertiary stroke center between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as Group d-MT (n = 210) and Group BT (n = 149). The primary outcome was the impact of BT on clinical and procedural outcomes, whereas the secondary outcome was the safety of BT., Results: The incidence of atrial fibrillation was higher in the d-MT group (p = 0.010). The median duration of the procedure was significantly higher in Group d-MT than in Group BT (35 vs 27 min, respectively; P = 0.044). The number of patients achieving good and excellent outcomes was significantly higher in Group BT (p = 0.006 and P = 0.03). The edema/malign infarction rate was higher in the d-MT group (p = 0.003). Successful reperfusion, first-pass effects, symptomatic intra-cranial hemorrhage, and mortality rates were similar between the groups (p > 0.05)., Conclusions: In this study, BT seems to yield better clinical and procedural outcomes with lower complication rates than d-MT. These findings may support the additional value of intravenous alteplase in anterior system strokes. Further large-scale, prospective, randomized-controlled studies will clarify the gray lines in this consensus, but this paper is important for reflecting the real-world data in developing countries., Competing Interests: None

4. Gamma-glutamyl transferase levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Author

Gurbuzer N, Gozke E, and Ayhan Basturk Z

Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels, cerebrovascular risk factors, and distribution of cerebral infarct areas in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Patients and Methods. Sixty patients with AIS and 44 controls who had not cerebrovascular disease were included in the study. The patients were divided into four groups according to the location of the infarct area and evaluated as for GGT levels and the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and hyperlipidemia (HL). Results. The frequency of DM, HT, and HL and gender distributions were similar. The mean GGT levels were significantly higher in patients with AIS and those with relatively larger areas of infarction (P < 0.05). Increased mean GGT levels were found in the subgroup with hypertension, higher LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels among cases with AIS (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Higher GGT levels in AIS patients reinforce the relationship of GGT with inflammation and oxidative stress. The observation of higher GGT levels in patients with relatively larger areas of infarction is indicative of a positive correlation between increases in infarct areas and elevated GGT levels.

5. An Observational Study on the Association between Migraines and Tension Type Headaches in Patients Diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome.

Author

Gozke E, Unal M, Engin H, and Gurbuzer N

Abstract

Background. Our aim was to investigate the association between migraine, tension type headache, and metabolic syndrome. Methods. Presence of tension type headache and migraine was investigated in 120 patients diagnosed as metabolic syndrome. The severity of the headache was recorded according to the visual analog scale. Results. Mean age of the patients was 54.41 ± 11.60 years (range, 29-84 yrs). Diagnoses of tension type headache and migraine without aura were made for 39 (32.5%) and 18 (15%) patients, respectively. Mean age of migraine patients was significantly lower relative to the patients with tension type headache and no headache. Incidence of hypertriglyceridemia was significantly higher in migraine patients when compared with cases tension type headache and without headache. In the tension type headache group, requirement for analgesics decreased as HDL cholesterol levels increased, while need for analgesic drugs increased in line with higher diastolic blood pressures. In the migraine group duration of headache was found to be prolonged with decreasing HDL cholesterol levels. Conclusion. In patients presenting with headache, its association with metabolic syndrome should be considered, and the patients should be especially observed with respect to response to analgesic and the presence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Author

Gozke E, Tastekin Toz H, Kahraman Koytak P, and Alparslan F

Abstract

Postcoital artery dissection is a rare condition. Here we report a 40-year-old male patient with painful Horner syndrome related to postcoital internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection. In neurologic examination of the patient, semiptosis, enophthalmus, and myosis were observed on the left side. There were no carotid bruits. On T1-weighted and fat-suppressed cranial MRI, hyperintensity consistent with intramural hematoma was observed within cervical and temporal petrous segments of left ICA. On cervical and cranial MRA, marked decrease in the calibration of C1 and C2 segments of the left ICA was remarkable. The patient was diagnosed as left ICA dissection and anticoagulant therapy was initiated. A prominent improvement was noted in clinical findings during two months of followup period.

Abstract

Background: Subclinical cerebello-vestibular impairment has been described in migraine patients., Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the presence of subclinical vestibulopathy in migraine patients using ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP)., Patients and Methods: Forty-three patients suffering from migraine without aura who had no vestibular complaints and 29 healthy controls were included in the study. The responses were recorded from contralateral lower eyelid just above of the inferior oblique muscle during 120 dB click stimulation., Results: Eight migraine patients (18.6%) disclosed no response. Bilateral or unilateral response rates in the migraine group were 46.5% (n = 20) and 34.9% (n = 15) respectively. In controls, bilateral or unilateral responses could be obtained from 25 (86.7%), and 4 (13.2%) cases, respectively. In migraineurs group mean latencies of N1 and P1 were significantly longer, while N1-P1 amplitudes were found meaningfully lower., Conclusion: These data demonstrate that using oVEMP subclinical vestibular dysfunction can be elicited in migraine patients without vestibular complaints.

8. Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease: a case report.

Author

Gozke E, Erdal N, and Unal M

Abstract

Introduction: Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease is the most frequently seen type of prion diseases. Its clinical findings consist of predominantly progressive dementia with a rapid onset, myoclonus, and also cerebellar, pyramidal, extrapyramidal and visual signs. Definitive diagnosis is established with histological examination of brain biopsy or autopsy materials. Occurrence of periodical spikes in EEG, observation of cortical signal alterations during diffusion weighted (DW) MRI studies, and detection of protein 14-3-3 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) substantiate the diagnosis., Case Presentation: Seventy year-old male patient referred with complaints of weakness and involuntary movements in left arm, changes in behavior, and forgetfulness. He also developed akinetic mutism after nearly three months. In EEG periodic triphasic waves were seen. Despite the absence of any apparent pathological finding in T2 and FLAIR MRI, excluding signs of atrophy, on DW MRI hyperintense signal changes in cortical regions (cortical ribboning) were observed. Protein 14-3-3 in CSF was detected., Conclusion: Patients who have progressive dementia and associated atypical features should be investigated especially with DW MRI. Cortical ribboning is a very useful diagnostic sign for CJD.
