INTRODUCTION: We aimed to investigate the effects of the urban or rural dwelling of patients with epilepsy living in Giresun on their use of health services, quality of life, and self-efficacy. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, patients with epilepsy who were admitted to the neurology outpatient clinic between January 2022 and August 2022 were evaluated. All the participants were individually interviewed to complete the Epilepsy Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) and Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-10) questionnaire...

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to determine the risk conferred by elevated total homocysteine (tHcy) levels on recurrent stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events after an ischemic stroke (IS), using data from the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance (CSCA). METHODS: The study consisted of 746,854 total participants with IS. Subjects were split into groups as well as quartiles according to tHcy level. Groups included a hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) group with tHcy ≥15 μmol/l and a normohomocysteinemia group (nHcy) with tHcy <15 μmol/l...

BACKGROUND: Neurotoxic disorders account for a significant portion of the diseases that influence the worldwide disease burden. Parkinson's disease is one such disease that is linked with environmental toxin exposure. Isocyanates are a highly reactive industrial intermediate used widely in manufacturing plastic products, paints, etc. This study aims to delineate the neurotoxic potential of isocyanate in Parkinson's cell model-SHSY-5Y cells. METHODOLOGY: SHSY-5Y cells were treated with isocyanate analogue (N succinimidyl N methyl carbamate) in time and dose dependant manner...

OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study was to examine patients with migraine in terms of emotional dysregulation and to evaluate whether the emotion dysregulation is effective on chronicity in migraine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 85 migraine patients and 61 healthy participants were included in this study. All participants were evaluated using Migraine Disability Scale (MIDAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and the Discomfort Intolerance Scale (DIS)...

OBJECTIVE: Anatomical abnormalities in the thoracic outlet syndrome are very frequent, but radiological images are not always reliable. Therefore, the different features and abilities of CT angiogram and brachial plexus MRI to detect anatomical abnormalities have been investigated. METHODS: All radiological and surgical records of patients operated for thoracic outlet syndrome between January 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Considering the CT angiogram and/or brachial plexus MRI reports of the preoperative period, the performance of these investigations was evaluated by calculating the precision (P), sensitivity (Recall) and Hamming loss (L)...

BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence for the association of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) with cognitive impairment after minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, how TMAO affects cognitive function in TIA patients has seldom been studied. METHODS: A total of 310 TIA participants were retrospectively collected from our stroke register between January 2020 and July 2021. Plasma TMAO was measured by liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry at baseline...

OBJECTIVE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes impairment of respiratory function, trunk control, and functional mobility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between functional mobility and respiratory function and trunk control in MS patients and to compare the findings with those in healthy individuals. METHODS: Thirty MS patients and 30 healthy subjects were included in this case-control study. All participants were evaluated with a pulmonary function test, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP, MEP), core stability tests, a lumbopelvic stability test (LST), a 2-minute walk test (2MWT), and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG)...

OBJECTIVE: According to recent studies, synaptic connections by axons formed can resist stronger mechanical stresses. A large number of nerve tissues with regular growth can be achieved quickly by appropriately managing the pulling pace and force. However, currently there are few studies on the physiological characteristics of stretching growth axons. Until now, there is no mature technology for determining whether the axons can normally transmit neural signals following continuous mechanical stimulation...

OBJECTIVE: EGR1 has been implicated in the progression of spinal cord injury (SCI). Nevertheless, its specific mechanism in SCI remains to be investigated. Hence, this study explored the potential mechanism of EGR1 in SCI by focusing on neuron apoptosis. METHODS: H2 O2 was utilized to treat rat neurons-dorsal spinal cord (RN-dsc) for the construction of an in vitro model of SCI. Afterwards, cell survival, apoptosis, and LDH leakage were detected to evaluate the injury degree of H2 O2 -treated RN-dsc...

BACKGROUND: Migraine is commonly seen as a cyclic disorder with variable cortical excitability at different phases. Herein, we investigated the cortical excitability in migraine without aura patients during an attack (MWoA-DA) and interictal period (MWoA-DI) and further explored the functional connectivity (FC) in brain regions with cortical excitability abnormalities in patients. METHODS: Seven MWoA-DA patients, twenty-seven MWoA-DI patients, and twenty-nine healthy controls (HC) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scan...

BACKGROUND: Observational studies showed renal function had associations with Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body dementia (LBD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, it is unknown whether these associations are causal.

OBJECTIVES: Peripheral nerve glomus tumors are extremely rare and occur with typical symptoms of peripheral neuropathic pain. Clinicians hardly consider this entity when faced with the swelling of a peripheral nerve and the diagnosis is reached only with histological examination. Nerves of limbs are usually affected and the solid glomus tumor is the most frequent histological variant. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 55-year-old man presented with a glomus tumor of the anterior supraclavicular nerve of the left cervical plexus, misdiagnosed clinically and radiologically as neuroma...

BACKGROUND: The treatment of neurogenic bladder (NB) is a challenge because conventional therapy often fails. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a minimally invasive technique and an unconventional treatment for neurogenic bladder. Its research is still in the exploratory stage. The research on its effectiveness and safety is not clear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for neurogenic bladder (NB). METHODS: By searching the PubMed databases and Cochrane Library databases, combined with the method of literature tracing, the clinical researches and works on neurogenic bladder and sacral neuromodulation therapy were collected...

BACKGROUND: Our present study evaluated the neuroprotection effects of atorvastatin by inhibiting TBI-induced ER stress, as well as the potential role of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in experimental TBI. METHODS: First, the mice were divided into four groups:sham, TBI, TBI+Vehicle and TBI+atorvastatin groups. The mice received atorvastatin (10 mg/kg/day) through intragastric gavage once a day for 3 days before TBI. In addition, Nrf2 WT and Nrf2 knockout mice were randomly divided into four groups: Nrf2+/+ TBI, Nrf2+/+ TBI+atorvastatin, Nrf2-/- TBI, and Nrf2-/- TBI+atorvastatin groups...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with ischemic strokes that have undergone mechanical thrombectomy (MT) can still have poor functional outcomes. Limited research exists on factors that impact functional outcomes in these patients who are discharged to inpatient rehabilitation. We examined patient characteristics correlated with 90-day outcomes in ischemic stroke patients having undergone MT and undergo acute rehabilitation. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients (≥18 years) who were consecutively admitted to inpatient rehabilitation after undergoing MT following an ischemic stroke event from 2015 through 2018...
