INTRODUCTION: In this study, we aimed to discuss the data of patients with acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IV-tPA) in our clinic in the light of the literature. METHODS: Seventy patients with acute ischemic stroke diagnosed between April 2016 and 2017 who received IV-tPA were included in the study. Demographic, radiological and clinical data of the patients were recorded. The intracranial hemorrhages and neurological status at the end of the third month were evaluated with the modified MRS score and the National Stroke Health Scale (NIHSS) scores within 3 months after discharge. The values of the symptom-needle time, the Alberta stroke program, the early computerized tomography score (ASPECT) and the NIHSS scores at the first application and follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS: 28 of the patients were female and 42 were male and the mean age was 66.44 ± 13.47. Thirty-nine (55.7%) of the patients were referred to emergency services and 31 (44.3%) were directed to thrombolytic therapy from the emergency department of other hospitals. The initial NIHSS scores at the time of admission were 14.27 ± 4.26, while the NIHSS scores at the 24th hour were 11.47 ± 5.85. The ASPECT score at the time of admission was 9.61 ± 0.81. The median symptom-to-needle time was 89.5 minutes (0-245). The median door-to-needle time was 77 minutes (20-187). During thrombolytic application, edema occurred in 4 patients and intrahepatic hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient. At the end of the third month, 20 patients (28.5%) had complete recovery of neurological disability and 9 (12.9%) were exiting. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that IV-tPA treatment is a safe and effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke, similar to past studies, and that this treatment reduces the disability at the end of the third month.

Objective:We aimed to evaluate the frequency and severity of restless legs syndrome in patients with asthma and the effect of the disease on sleep quality.Materials and Methods:Forty-three patients followed by asthma and 30 healthy people were included in the study. The diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome was made according to the criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group. Excessive daytime sleepiness scores were determined according to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) the sleep quality and according to the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) the insomnia was determined.Results:Male/female rate in the asthmatic group was 1/8, and the mean age was 48.88 years. The healthy control group was selected to be gender and age-matched. Restless Legs syndrome was found 25.58% (n=11) in the asthmatic group and 16.7% (n=5) in the control group, and it was also not statistically significant. The number of asthmatic patients with ESS ≥10 was six, while there was one person in the control group, and it was not statistically significant. According to the PSQI values, there was a significant difference between the asthmatic group and the control group (p

WOS: 000449522300015, Malignancy, immunosuppressive drug use, and diabetes mellitus (DM) are defined as risk factors for herpes zoster. A 58-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of DM was admitted to the emergency room with the complaints of double vision. His neurological examination revealed under activity of the right lateral rectus muscle and hypoactive deep tendon reflexes. In this report, we discuss a rare case of isolated abducens nerve palsy that occurred after postviral infection in the patient.

Introduction: Parkinson-s disease is the second leading neurodegenerative disease worldwide; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. Recently, the neuroinflammation theory, one of the theories explaining the pathogenesis of Parkinson-s disease, has become prominent. We investigated the relationship between Parkinson-s disease and inflammatory markers including epicardial adipose tissue thickness, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and thrombocyte-lymphocyte ratio.

Objective Attitude of healthcare providers toward older people is very important in the aging world. Neurologists contact older adults very frequently. We aimed to investigate the attitudes of neurologists toward older adults. Measurements We recorded participants age; sex; duration of clinical practice in neurology; existence of older adult relatives; and history of geriatrics education, nursing home visits, older adult patient density in their clinical practice, and participation in voluntary public activities. UCLA Geriatrics Attitude Scale was used to evaluate participants' attitudes. Results A total of 100 neurologists participated in this study. Seventy-seven percent had positive, 3 % had neutral, and 20 % had negative attitudes. Twenty-seven percent of the participants had history of geriatrics education, and these participants tended to have a higher rate of positive attitudes. Neurologists with positive attitudes tended to be older than those with negative attitudes. Participants with history of living with older adult relatives had lower rates of positive attitudes. The most common diagnoses of the patients the participants encountered were stroke and dementia. Independent factors associated with positive attitudes were history of geriatrics education and older age. History of living with older relatives tended to have a negative effect. Most of the negative items of the attitude scale were associated with the natural course and behavior of the common diseases in neurology practice. Conclusions Generalization of geriatrics education may translate into a better understanding and improved care for older patients. Development of instruments and implementation of qualitative studies to assess attitudes of neurologists toward older adults are needed.

Malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, we aimed to screen for malnutrition and geriatric syndromes and seek their associations in patients with AD.The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) tests were applied. Mean daily oral fluid intake was assessed according to patients' and relatives' declarations.Seventy-six patients with a mean age of 79 ± 7.4 years were included. Most of the patients had mild or moderate dementia. Malnutrition was associated with increased rates of hospitalization and falls, dysphagia, insomnia, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, immobility, and incontinence. A daily fluid intake of1100 mL was associated with malnutrition risk. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed independent correlations of lower MNA score with lower ADL score, lower daily oral fluid intake, lower MMSE score, and female sex.Dependency, inadequate fluid intake, advanced dementia stage, and female sex were independently associated with malnutrition. Malnutrition also seemed to be associated with sleep disturbances, psychological problems, immobility, falls, and increased hospitalization risk in these patients. Daily oral fluid intake may be a practical tool in the screening of malnutrition.
