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...
Purpose Diagnosis of comorbid psychiatric conditions are a significant determinant for the prognosis neurodegenerative diseases. Apathy, which is behavioral executive dysfunction, frequently accompanies Alzheimer's disease (AD) and leads to higher daily functional loss. We assume that frontal lobe hypofunction in apathetic AD patients more apparent than without apathy. This study aims address neuroanatomical correlates apathy early stage using task-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)....
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...
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...
Objectives Mental health (MH) care for people living with HIV (PLWH) emerges as an important unmet need, yet there are no integrated HIV-MH clinics in Turkey. Our aim is to determine MH service use and its associated factors PLWH followed up the HIV/AIDS outpatient Istanbul/Turkey. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at of Infectious Diseases (ID) departments hospitals affiliated ACTHIV-IST Study Group. Structured interviews were performed using questionnaires that covered...
Introduction Prejudice, stigmatization and discrimination behaviors causes social stress lead vulnerability to mental physical health problems in Transgender Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. The prevalence of disorders that can be associated with “minority group stress”, especially major depression anxiety disorders, are known higher the TGNC comparison general population. Objectives aim this study was reveal impact minority on individuals’ health. Resilience factors like gender...
It is shown that the language process abilities such as verbal fluency and confrontational naming are deteriorated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). noted particular affected early stages whereas distorted later stages. Our hypothesis deterioration ability more related with decline semantic than phonemic AD patient. Language a network process, therefore it can be stated disruptions show themselves every area connected language. So, function, categoric should same level lexical fluency. The aim of...
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to have disruptive effects on cognitive functions (CFs) in advanced ages.The aim of this study was reveal the effect(s) Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment CFs older patients with OSA.Materials and Methods: Follow-up comparisons were conducted after 6 months CPAP Pulmonary Medicine Department's outpatient clinic a reference university hospital.Patients included one-night hospitalization for polysomnographic assessments.All...
In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between decision-making processes and other cognitive characteristics associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in comparison healthy controls by using neurocognitive tests.
Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) individuals experience stress due to discriminatory events in society. This causes them become vulnerable physical mental health problems. However, there is no validated scale that can be used the assessment of TGNC people counseling Turkey. Minority Stress Resilience Measure (GMSR) a evaluates resilience factors individuals. The aim this study investigate validity Turkish version GMSR (GMSR-Tr). Our presents preliminary evidence GMSR-Tr.
Photograph was used as a therapeutic tool for the first time in 1856 by Dr. Hugh Diamond. Photos are considered to be representations of person's reality. The possibility producing visual images when client has verbal expression difficulties, photography provides more structured way expressing ideas and emotions means projective-symbolic communication. Photo therapy with chronic psychotic patients may contribute development perception reality, part-whole relationship, integration,...
Apathy is a behavioral executive dysfunction roughly described with loss of motivation and interest, reduced initiation social interaction, poor persistence, indifference superficial emotional reactions. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients apathy show higher functional deterioration. We assume that frontal lobe hypofunction apathetic AD (aAD) are more apparent than the without apathy. The aim this study to address neuroanatomical correlates in early stage AD. Sample was gathered from Neurology...
Apathy described as a behavioral executive disfunction, roughly with loss of motivation and interest, reduced initiation social interaction, poor persistence, indifference insight. Comorbid psychiatric diagnosis is significant determinant for prognosis. AD patients apathy show higher functional deterioration than without apathy. We assume that frontal lobe hypofunction apathetic (aAD) are more apparent the Sample group recruited from Neurology Geriatric Psychiatry Departments Istanbul...
