Publication Metadata only The evaluation of vitamin D levels in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome(2016-07-01) Gursoy, AZİZE ESRA; Bilgen, HALİDE RENGİN; DURUYEN, Humeyra; ALTINTAS, Ozge; Kolukisa, MEHMET; Asil, TALİP; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; BİLGEN, HALİDE RENGİN; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ASİL, TALIPThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). 25(OH)D levels were checked in 108 consecutive patients with CTS symptoms and 52 healthy controls. All patients underwent nerve conduction studies and completed Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BQ) symptom severity and functional status scales to quantify symptom severity, pain status and functional status. There were 57 patients with electrophysiological confirmed CTS (EP+ group) and 51 electrophysiological negative symptomatic patients (EP- group). 25(OH) D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/ml) was found in 96.1 % of EP- group, in 94.7 % of EP+ group and in 73.8 % of control group. 25(0H) D level was found significantly lower both in EP+ and EP- groups compared to control group (p = 0.006, p < 0.001, respectively). Although mean vitamin D level in EP- group was lower than EP+ group, statistically difference was not significant between EP+ and EP- groups (p = 0.182). BQ symptom severity and functional status scores and BQ pain sum score were not significantly different between EP+ and EP- groups. We found no correlation with 25(OH) D level for BQ symptom severity, functional status and pain sum scores. 25(OH) D deficiency is a common problem in patients with CTS symptoms. As evidenced by the present study, assessment of serum 25(OH)D is recommended in CTS patients even with electrophysiological negative results.Publication Open Access Endovascular Therapy of Acute Ischemic Stroke by Interventional Cardiologists: National Initial Experience(2013-10-29) TASAL, Abdurrahman; Bacaksiz, AHMET; VATANKULU, Mehmet Akif; SONMEZ, Osman; TURFAN, Murat; ERDOGAN, Ercan; KARADELI, Hasan Huseyin; Kolukisa, MEHMET; KUL, Seref; ALTINTAS, Ozge; Asil, TALİP; GOKTEKIN, Omer; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ASİL, TALIPObjectives: We report our initial experience with thrombectomy devices in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Study design: Demographic, clinical, and angiographic findings of 19 consecutive patients (7 females and 12 males; mean age 61.4±12.5 years) with acute ischemic stroke were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The mean initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 19.5±5.6. Middle cerebral artery was the occluded artery in all of the patients (proximal occlusion in 11, distal in 8 and tandem occlusions in 7 patients). Successful revascularization was achieved in 16 patients (84%). The mean NIHSS score was 8.4±8.2 at 24 hours after the procedure, and 60% of patients showed a modified Rankin scale score of ≤2 at 90 days. New occlusion by migrated emboli was observed in 2 (11%) cases. None of the patients had experienced post-procedural symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage; 3 patients died during the three-month follow-up. In all patients, thrombectomy was performed with retrievable Solitaire AB stent system. Conclusion: This single-center experience with mechanical thrombectomy devices demonstrated that high success rates can be achieved by experienced interventional cardiologists in equipped cath labs throughout the country.Publication Metadata only Endovascular therapy of acute ischaemic stroke by interventional cardiologists: single-centre experience from Turkey(2014-11-01) GOKTEKIN, Omer; TASAL, Abdurrahman; UYAREL, Huseyin; VATANKULU, Mehmet Akif; SONMEZ, Osman; AY, Nuray; KUL, Seref; YAMAC, Hatice; ALTINTAS, Ozge; KARADELI, Hasan; Kolukisa, MEHMET; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Asil, TALİP; KAHRAMAN AY, NURAY; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; ASİL, TALIPAims: We report our single-centre experience with the Solitaire AB self-expanding retrievable stent system in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.Publication Metadata only Paf-Related Ischemic Stroke: Clinical, Radiological and Echocardiographic Findings(2015-01-01) ALTINTAS, Ozge; NIFTALIYEV, Elvin; TASAL, Abdurrahman; Asil, TALİP; ASİL, TALIPIntroduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common etiological factor involved in ischemic stroke. There are no definitive data regarding the prevalence of paroxysmal AF (PAF)-related ischemic stroke. In this study, we prospectively evaluated clinical, radiological and transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) findings and their association with stroke outcomes.Publication Metadata only Association of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with silent brain infarcts in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(2016-01-01) ALTINTAS, Ozge; TASAL, Abdurrahman; NIFTALIYEV, Elvin; KUCUKDAGLI, Okkes Taha; Asil, TALİP; ASİL, TALIPObjectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the inflammation as measured by increased platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) predispose to silent infarcts in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).Publication Metadata only Reversible conduction failure in overlap of Miller Fisher syndrome and pharyngeal-cervical-brachial variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the spectrum of nodo-paranodopathies(2014-07-01) Gursoy, AZİZE ESRA; Kolukisa, MEHMET; ALTINTAS, Ozge; YAMAN, Asli; Asil, TALİP; GÜRSOY, AZIZE ESRA; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; BABACAN YILDIZ, GÜLSEN; ASİL, TALIPPatients with an overlap of the pharyngeal-cervical-brachial variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome (PCB/MFS) have rarely been reported. The electrophysiological findings in PCB/MFS are of great interest and may provide insight into the pathophysiology of the disorder. We report the clinical features and nerve conduction study findings in a patient with PCB/MFS with high titers of antiganglioside antibodies against GQ1b, GD1a, and GD1b. In serial nerve conduction studies, compound muscle action potential amplitudes normalised without development of temporal dispersion within 3 weeks, and absent median, ulnar, and sural sensory nerve action potentials became recordable within 4 months. These findings are consistent with reversible conduction failure in both motor and sensory fibres, and PCB/MFS could be classified in the recently described nodo-paranodopathy spectrum of acute neuropathies associated with anti-ganglioside antibodies.

Endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke was a new modality aiming at resolution of clots in occluded cerebral arteries. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was introduced as a potential marker to determine increased inflammation, which is a result of releasing many mediators from the platelets. In this study we aimed to evaluate whether the PLR had a prognostic role in stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy and attempted to determine the effect that this ratio had on their survival.Publication Metadata only Neuroprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning via modulating the expression of cerebral miRNAs against transient cerebral ischemia in diabetic rats(2016-01-01) ALTINTAS, Ozge; Altintas, Mehmet Ozgen; Kumas, MELTEM; Asil, TALİP; KUMAŞ, MELTEM; ASİL, TALIPObjectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the Ischemic preconditioning (IPreC) on the expression profile of cerebral miRNAs against stroke by induced transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in diabetic rats.Publication Metadata only The Relationship of Hematoma Growth to Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Patients with Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage(2017-05-01) ALTINTAS, Ozge; DURUYEN, Humeyra; BARAN, GÖZDE; BARAN, Oguz; KATAR, Salim; ANTAR, Veysel; Asil, TALİP; BARAN, GÖZDE; ASİL, TALIPAIM: Hypertension is a primary risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is thought to be responsible for about 55% of all ICH cases. Thus, the primary goal of the study was to examine whether the status of vascular rheological factors upon admission to the hospital was associated with hypertensive ICH growth and early outcomes.
