Article Metadata only Recognition of emotional face expressions in patients with restless legs syndrome(2022-02-01T00:00:00Z) Gurkan, Zahide Mail; Pak, Aygul Tantik; PARLAKKAYA, FATMA BÜŞRA; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZER; Yilmaz, Onur; Sengul, Yildizhan; PARLAKKAYA, FATMA BÜŞRA; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZERObjective Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is one of the commonest neurologic diseases. Along with sensory and motor symptoms, cognitive impairment and psychiatric features can be seen with RLS. The present study, was planned to look for evidence of cognitive impairment by evaluating facial emotion recognition (FER) in patients with RLS. Methods In this study, 80 patients with RLS and 50 healthy controls (HCs) were included. Demographic data were recorded. All patients with RLS and HCs were tested with Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), Beck depression inventory (BDI) and with Ekman-s test for recognition of facial emotions. Results Sixty-three of the patients with RLS and 37 of the HCs were female. The mean age of the patients was 45.41 +/- 8.24, and the mean age of HCs was 43.12 +/- 10.35. The patients and HCs were similar regarding sex, age, educational status, and marital status. Patients with RLS had FER difficulties comparing HCs. There was a negative correlation between Ekman-s test scores and BDI (r = -0.311, p < 0.001) and BAI scores (r = -0.379, p < 0.001). Conclusion FER is an invaluable research topic regarding cognitive function in RLS, which may help us develop different perspectives in terms of revealing the pathophysiology and is very important for the well-being of the patients- social interactions.Article Open Access A Treatment-Response Comparison Study of Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Between Standard Treatment of SSRI and Standard Treatment of SSRI Plus Non-dominant Hand-Writing Task in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder(2021-09-01T00:00:00Z) BOYRAZ, Rabia Kevser; KIRPINAR, İSMET; YILMAZ, Onur; Ozyurt, Onur; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZER; ARALAŞMAK, Ayşe; BOYRAZ, RABIA KEVSER; KIRPINAR, İSMET; YILMAZ, ONUR; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZER; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞEBackground: Researches have recently shifted from functional/structural imaging studies to functional connectivity (FC) studies in major depressive disorder (MDD). We aimed to compare treatment response of two treatment groups before and after treatment, in terms of both with psychiatric evaluation scales and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) changes in order to objectively demonstrate the possible contribution of the non-dominant hand-writing exercise (NHE) effect on depression treatment.Article Metadata only Sialorrhoea associated with sertraline use(2019-09-10T00:00:00Z) ŞAHAN, EBRU; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZER; KIRPINAR, İSMET; ŞAHAN, EBRU; KILIÇARSLAN, TEZER; KIRPINAR, İSMETIntroduction: Sialorrhoea, which has been defined as excessive amount of saliva in the mouth, can be a debilitating symptom. Psychoactive drugs may cause an increase or decrease in saliva secretion. Antidepressant drugs, especially tricyclic antidepressants and less often serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are often associated with a decrease in salivation and the complaint of dry mouth. Case presentation: A 46-year-old male patient with complaints of being depressed, lack of motivation, irritability and difficulty in falling asleep was started on sertraline treatment and had trouble with sialorrhoea after the dose increase, without other causes of hypersalivation. Discussion: We could not find report of any case with antidepressant-associated sialorrhoea in the literature. Future cases may support a relationship between sertraline and sialorrhoea.
