Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, need to continue diagnosis and treatment processes, in addition scientific research, led a rapid shift towards direct-to-home tele-neuropsychology administrations, reliability validity of which had not been clearly established then. This study, therefore, aimed examine tele-neuropsychological assessment (TNP). Method: The sample included 105 cognitively healthy individuals aged between 50–83 years, 47 patients diagnosed with neurocognitive disorders...
Abstract In the present study, we have tested hypothesis that brain‐derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF ) gene Val66Met polymorphism is associated with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and also investigated association between performance on tests measuring executive functions in a sample of patients OCD. A total 100 diagnosed OCD according to DSM‐IV criteria 110 control subjects were included this study. Single nucleotide (G/A) leading Val Met substitution at codon 66 was screened DNA...
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn lipid storage disorder due to various pathogenic mutations in the CYP27A1 gene. Although symptoms begin commonly infancy, CTX diagnosis often delayed. In this study, we report 7 Turkish patients who had delayed despite early clinical signs and belonged 6 unrelated families.We have retrospectively evaluated clinical, laboratory, imaging, genetic findings of patients, which were collected from 2 centers specialized...
This study investigated the association between catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism and executive functions in 101 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) 100 healthy-control subjects (HS). Results showed that there was no significant difference for genotype distributions OCD HS groups. OCD-Met carrier subgroup's TMT B-A lexical fluency scores were found to be significantly poorer than both subgroups. These findings suggest lower activity of COMT associated...

Greater risks of congenital malformation as well cognitive and behavioral development in later childhood occur a result utero exposure to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). We examined the effects AEDs on characteristics among school age children born women with epilepsy.Children aged 6-15 years epilepsy were enrolled study. Information was collected women's demographics details their usage/non-usage during pregnancy. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WICS-R) test administered...
In the present study, we investigate association between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and executive functions in a sample of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).A total 98 unmedicated diagnosed OCD according to DSM-IV criteria 80 healthy controls were included this study. The genotype frequencies compared control groups. four subgroups participants, determined having LaLa (high expressing) or S- and/or Lg alleles (low expressing), also using neuropsychological tests functions.The...
Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) is a brief bedside cognitive screening test, which shown to be specific and sensitive instrument not only for the diagnosis of dementia but also mild impairment (MCI). The aim present study was validate use Turkish version ACE-R. We applied adapted ACE-R 204 individuals comprising three groups: (MCI; n = 45), Alzheimer's disease (AD; 83) healthy controls (HC; 76). Total score subscores were statistically compared sensitivity, specificity,...
Capgras syndrome (CS), also called imposter syndrome, is a rare psychiatric condition that characterized by the delusion family relative or close friend has been replaced an identical imposter. Here, we describe 69-year-old man with CS who presented to Kemal Arikan Psychiatry Clinic ongoing belief his wife had MRI showed selective anterior left temporal lobe atrophy. Quantitative EEG bilateral frontal and slowing. Neuropsychological profiling identified broad range of deficits in areas...
Background The relationship between vitamin D and cognitive status remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the effect of replacement on functions in healthy cognitively intact deficient older females. Methods This study was designed as a prospective interventional study. A total 30 female adults aged ≥60 with serum 25 (OH) level <10 ng/ml were included. Participants administered 50 000 IU D3 weekly for 8 weeks followed by maintenance therapy 1000 U/day. Detailed neuropsychological...
We aimed to assess the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) and three questions (3Qs, European Aids Clinical Society Guidelines) as potential screening tools for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). In addition, we tried determine prevalence associated factors HAND among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Turkey.Persons were enrolled from two teaching hospitals between March 2018 September 2018. Participants underwent tools, a neuropsychological test battery (NTB) an...
Teleneuropsychology, which includes the remote application of neuropsychological tests to patients via telephone or videoconferencing, can expand access health services for who reside in distant areas have mobility restrictions. With emergence COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase use teleneuropsychology cognitive assessment. In this review, aim was critically review results studies conducted field and fundamental principles related tele-neuropsychological Additionally,...
This study aimed to conduct the validity and reliability of (Pictures Facial Affect) POFA test for Turkish population contribute increasing number tests that are still insufficient in our country.This descriptive, randomized controlled was conducted two steps, namely Step 1 (Pilot Study Validity Studies) 2 (Reliability Step). The participants planned regarding original by which developed. EYES also used comparison. In pilot study, most widely identified emotions from 47 110 photos were...
