Öğe Carpal tunnel syndrome and metabolic syndrome(Wiley, 2007) Balci, K.; Utku, U.Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy. Many factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hormonal replacement therapy, corticosteroid use, rheumatoid arthritis and wrist fractures may cause CTS. Metabolic syndrome includes abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension that may cause CTS. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between CTS and metabolic syndrome. We studied 107 (96 female and I I male) right-handed patients who had a clinical and electrophysiologically confirmed diagnosis of CTS. We then divided the patients into two groups (patients with and without metabolic syndrome) according to the criteria of ATP III definition. Eighty (75%) of the patients with CTS had metabolic syndrome. Among the 80 patients with metabolic syndrome, CTS was found in 150 hands (43 mild, 58 moderate and 49 severe cases). Among the 27 patients without metabolic syndrome, CTS was found in 43 hands (27 mild, 14 moderate and 2 severe cases). The electrophysiological parameters (median nerve distal motor latency, median nerve motor amplitude, median nerve motor conduction velocity, median nerve sensory onset latency, median nerve sensory amplitude and median nerve sensory conduction velocity) were worse in patients with metabolic syndrome (P < 0.05). In conclusion, metabolic syndrome was found to be three times more common in patients with CTS and CTS was more severe in patients with metabolic syndrome when compared with those without metabolic syndrome.Öğe Changing cerebral blood flow velocity detected by transcranial Doppler ultrasound during head up tilt in patients with multiple sclerosis(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008) Gonul, M.; Asil, T.; Balci, K.; Celik, Y.; Turgut, N.; Uzunca, I.Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. We aimed to investigate the cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) changes in MS by transcranial Doppler. Methods: Twenty patients with MS, 20 age-matched healthy controls were included in the study. In both groups, blood flow velocities (BFVs) of middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were evaluated. The changes of blood pressure, heart rate along with the changes in BFV of MCA were recorded after the patients were raised to upright position. Results: In both groups, upon raising the tilt table to the upright position, the mean CBFV values were found to be lower in comparison with the recorded baseline values (P values < 0.05). The decline in the mean CBFV values was more significant in patients with MS (P = 0.01). Conclusion: Our study showed upon raise of the tilt table, the mean BFVs decreased more in MS patients than control group with a more prominent change in the subgroup of MS patients with expanded disability scale scores >= 2. By use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound, it may be possible to evaluate BFV changes in patients with MS.Öğe Comparison of motor evoked potentials with visual and somatosensory evoked potentials in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Ozbek, B.; Balci, K.; Celik, Y.; Asil, T.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Development of entrapment neuropathies in acute stroke patients(Wiley, 2009) Kabayel, L.; Balci, K.; Turgut, N.; Kabayel, D. D.Stroke is the third most common cause of mortality and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in the world. Polyneuropathies and entrapment neuropathies are known as the complications of stroke. In this study we aimed to evaluate the development of entrapment neuropathies in severe stroke patients within the first month of the event. Twenty first-ever stroke patients were included in the study. The nerve conduction studies were performed within the first 48 h and repeated 1 month later. At the end of the first month, seven of the 20 patients had median nerve entrapment at the wrist, five had ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow and seven had peroneal nerve entrapment at the fibular head in the hemiparetic side. Three patients had median nerve entrapment at the wrist, one patient had ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow, and none had peroneal nerve entrapment in the non-paretic side. Our results confirm that, in severe hemiparetic patients, the entrapment neuropathies may be commonly seen, especially in the paretic extremities. The early rehabilitation programs against the development of entrapment neuropathies may be beneficial in stroke patients.Öğe The effect of serum ADMA levels on infarct volume and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Salam, F.; Celik, Y.; Karagol, H.; Balci, K.; Asil, T.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe A patient who had both CADASIL and Behcet's disease(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008) Celik, Y.; Balci, K.; Temizoz, O.; Asil, T.; Utku, U.; Siva, A.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Prevalence of migraine diagnosis using ID migraine among university students in Thrace area of Turkey(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009) Celik, Y.; Dagdeviren, N.; Korkmaz, O.; Oztora, S.; Balci, K.; Asil, T.[Abstract Not Available]
