    Relationships of DTI findings with neurocognitive dysfunction in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus
    (2016-01-01T00:00:00Z) Toprak, Huseyin; Yetis, Huseyin; Alkan, Alpay; Filiz, Mekiya; Kurtcan, Serpil; Aralasmak, Ayse; Aksu, Mehmet S.; Cesur, Yasar; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; ALKAN, ALPAY; KURTCAN, SERPİL; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; CESUR, YAŞAR
    Objective: To determine whether there were diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) changes in the brain among children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and investigate the correlation between the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and neurocognitive functions.

    Craniocervical Dissections: Radiologic Findings, Pitfalls, Mimicking Diseases: A Pictorial Review
    (2018-01-01) MEHDI, Elnur; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; Yildiz, Seyma; Kurtcan, SERPİL; Kolukisa, MEHMET; Asil, TALİP; Alkan, ALPAY; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; KURTCAN, SERPİL; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ASİL, TALIP; ALKAN, ALPAY
    Background: Craniocervical Dissections (CCD) are a crucial emergency state causing 20% of strokes in patients under the age of 45. Although DSA (digital substraction angiography) is regarded as the gold standard, noninvasive methods of CT, CTA and MRI, MRA are widely used for diagnosis. Aim: Our aim is to illustrate noninvasive imaging findings in CCD. Conclusion: Emphasizing on diagnostic pitfalls, limitations and mimicking diseases.

    Microstructural effects of Ramadan fasting on the brain: a diffusion tensor imaging study
    (2015-05-01) BAKAN, Ayse Ahsen; Yildiz, Seyma; Alkan, ALPAY; YETIS, Huseyin; Kurtcan, SERPİL; Ilhan, MAHMUT MUZAFFER; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; ALKAN, ALPAY; KURTCAN, SERPİL; İLHAN, MAHMUT MUZAFFER
    Purpose: We aimed to examine whether the brain displays any microstructural changes after a three-week Ramadan fasting period using diffusion tenson imaging. Methods: This study included a study and a control group of 25 volunteers each. In the study group, we examined and compared apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the participants during (phase 1) and after (phase 2) a period of fasting. The control group included individuals who did not fast. ADC and FA values obtained in phase 1 and phase 2 were compared between the study and control groups. Results: In the study group, ADC values of hypothalamus and, to a lesser extent, of insula were lower in phase 1 compared with phase 2 and the control group. The FA values of amygdala, middle temporal cortex, thalamus and, to a lesser extent, of medial prefrontal cortex were lower in phase 1 compared with phase 2 and the control group. Phase 2 ADC and FA values of the study group were not significantly different compared with the control group at any brain location. Conclusion: A three-week Ramadan fasting period can cause microstructural changes in the brain, and diffusion tensor imaging enables the visualization of these changes. The identification of brain locations where changes occurred in ADC and FA values during fasting can be helpful in diagnostic imaging and understanding the pathophysiology of eating disorders.
