    (K Faisal Spec Hosp Res Centre, 2015) Pamuk, Gulsum Emel; Uyanik, Mehmet Sevki; Top, Mehmet Serif; Tapan, Umit; Ak, Recep; Uyanik, Vesile
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Until now, very few studies evaluated the association between gastrointestinal and psychiatric symptoms in iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The study investigated the frequency of functional dyspepsia (FD) in IDA patients and determined its association with depression and somatization. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: The study was conducted at the Hematology Department of Trakya University Medical Faculty, which is a tertiary referral center in northwestern Turkey. It was a case-control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 125 consecutive IDA patients and 57 healthy control subjects were included. Patients and controls were questioned about the severity of their gastrointestinal system (GIS)-related symptoms and the presence of constipation and associated symptoms using a visual analog scale. In addition, IDA patients were administered a validated depression scale (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI) and somatization symptoms checklist. RESULTS: IDA patients had more frequent self-reported constipation compared with controls (56% vs 22.8%, P<.001). The mean scores of bloating, dyspepsia, and constipation-related quality of life (QoL) disturbance were significantly higher in the IDA group than in the control group (all P values <=.01). A total of 71 IDA patients were depressed according to the BDI. Depressed IDA patients had higher mean reflux, bloating, halitosis, and dyspepsia-related QoL disturbance scores compared with nondepressed patients (all P values <=.01). Their frequency of self-reported constipation and mean constipation-related QoL disturbance score (P values, .002 and <.001) were also higher. Depressed IDA patients had significantly higher somatization scores compared with others (P=.001). CONCLUSION: An increased frequency of dyspepsia symptoms and constipation-related QoL disturbance were observed in IDA patients. The findings of this study suggested that in IDA patients without red flags in favor of malignancy, physicians should try to uncover any psychiatric factors before undertaking extensive GIS investigation.

    Is iron-deficiency anemia associated with migraine? Is there a role for anxiety and depression?
    (Springer Wien, 2016) Pamuk, Gulsum Emel; Top, Mehmet Serif; Uyanik, Mehmet Sevki; Koker, Hilal; Akker, Mustafa; Ak, Recep; Yurekli, Omer Atalay
    In this study, we determined the frequency of migraine headache in iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) patients and whether it was related to anxiety, depression, and somatization. We included 127 consecutive IDA patients into the study. All patients were asked validated questions about headache and migraine face-to-face. They were administered validated questionnaires for anxiety-depression The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and somatization. The quality of life (QoL) disturbance associated with headache was marked on a 0-10 VAS. Of all IDA patients, 79.5 % defined headache at any time of their life. In addition, 36.2 % of all IDA patients defined the criteria for migraine. IDA patients with migraine were more frequently smokers and had significantly lower hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume values (p values < 0.05). The IDA group with migraine had significantly higher mean anxiety score (p = 0.046) and headache-related QoL disturbance score (p = 0.021) than the IDA group without migraine. Migraine patients with aura had lower hemoglobin values (p = 0.02), higher depression scores (p = 0.005), and higher migraine-related QoL disturbance scores than others. IDA patients have a high frequency of migraine headache. The presence of anxiety and depression have great influence on the presence of migraine in IDA patients.

    The Relationship Between Restless Legs Syndrome and Insomnia for the Staff in Shift
    (Aves, 2012) Gulser, Nihat; Ozturk, Levent; Top, Mehmet Serif; Asil, Talip; Balci, Kemal; Celik, Yahya
    Objective: Shift work sleep disorder is a circadian rhythm disorder related to inconsistency between sleep-wake cycle and internal process of circadian rhythm. We evaluated the effect of shift work on restless legs syndrome (RLS) and insomnia. Method: In this study, we recruited 770 health care professionals working the in same hospital. The participants were divided into two groups: 385 - working daytime and 385 - night/daytime shift. Restless leg syndrome was assessed using 4 minimal criteria as defined by the International RLS Study Group and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: RLS was detected in 83 subjects (10.77%). 53 of them were shift workers, 30 of them were none-shift workers. It was found that subjective sleeping qualities, duration of falling asleep, total sleeping time, day time performance was more affected and total Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores were higher in shift workers. Poor sleep quality was observed in 14.08% of none-shift workers, in 22.2% of subjects working 5-7 over night shifts monthly, and in 87.18% with 8-10 night shifts monthly. Conclusion: RLS is a disorder, which is mostly seen in night shift workers, affects mood and social life of a person. Shift work is an important cause of circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
