Objective: To determine whether two types of exercise — breathing retraining (BRT) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improve on cardiopulmonary functions tolerance in patients with stroke. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Setting: Education research hospital. Subjects: Forty-five inpatients stroke (24 men, 21 women) were recruited for the study. The subjects into three groups: 15 assigned to receive (IMT); received retraining, diaphragmatic pursed-lips (BRT); a control group....

The molecular mechanisms of migraine have not been fully clarified yet. Increased nitrosative and oxidative stress may be associated with attacks. Platelets play an important role in patients they can reflect the lability tissues to nitrosative/oxidative stress. In present study, we aimed determine levels markers platelets during headache-free attack periods. A total 56 subjects (22 without aura, 14 20 age- sex-matched healthy controls) were included study nitric oxide (NO) metabolites,...

The ‘dry-needle technique’, an intramuscular stimulation technique carried out by using a fine solid, 1-inch long, 30-gauge needle, was investigated in the treatment of tension-type headache (TTH) randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Fifteen patients with TTH received needle insertions into six designated trigger points, while 15 controls subcutaneous insertions. Headache indices, muscle tenderness and neck ROMs were evaluated before after treatment. Mean indices improved significantly...

Migraine is a kind of headache accompanied by neurologic, gastrointestinal, and autonomous variations.The roles factors that trigger migraine, especially nutrition triggers, have become much more questionable with the increase in rate migraine occurrence.Some patients stated their attacks start without any reason.However, inner triggers such as hormonal changes or external air exchange, some smells association both can headache.Each patient may not same sensitivity to these triggers.A single...

Primary headaches are known to be associated with multiple sclerosis. We aimed determine using ICHD-II in different phases of relapsing-remitting sclerosis, and the correlation between several features disease.Migraine (41.2%) tension-type (20.6%) were most common remission, primary stabbing headache (PSH) (27.8%) was relapsing phase. Although seemed occur independently disease duration, extended disability status scale, beck depression inventory scores, treatments, total number correlated...

Cervicogenic headache (CH) is a syndrome which postulated to originate from nociceptive structures in the neck or head. The anatomical head that are responsible for pain CH have not been clearly identified, but these patients probably originates of cervical spine. In this study, MRI were studied 22 with cervicogenic and 20 control who did any disease may effect bone muscle region. imaging vertebra showed disc bulging 10 (45.4%) out 9 (45.0%) controls (P > 0.05). distribution pathological...

A 54 year old man experienced excruciating left retro-orbital pain with lacrimation and redness of the eye representative a cluster headache attack. This was followed by hemiparesis plegia lower limb Horner's syndrome. Five days later recovered while patient developed hypoanaesthesia to cold stimuli that evoked painful burning dysaesthesia on right side below C4 level. MRI disclosed discrete infarct in lateral aspect cord at C2 level concomitant vertebral artery thrombosis. limited clinical...

Brucellosis is a common infectious disease in Mediterranean countries. We evaluated the peripheral nerve involvement patients with brucellosis. Thirty-eight brucellosis were examined. Four of them excluded because B<sub>12</sub> deficiency and diabetes mellitus. Thirty-four included. The average age was 43.08 ± 15.3 years. Patients divided into two groups according to abnormality their nervous system (PNS) examination. All underwent conduction needle electromyography EMG studies....

Biochemical, pathogenical, antigenical, and molecular characteristics of Vibrio alginolyticus iso- lates from diseased cultured gilthead sea bream juveniles (4 20 g) were determined by lab- oratory challenge experiments. Intraperitonal resulted in development the disease but immersion did not. Electrophoresis outer membrane protein (OMP) lipopolysaccha- rides (LPS) was performed using sodium dodecyl sulphate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Molecular typing isolates conducted...

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attack with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) is one of the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias where neurovascular compression was detected in neuroimaging recent years.We report two cases, a 52-year-old adult 69-year-old elderly patient short-lasting recurrent combined cranial features. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance (MR) tractography both patients outlined structural changes nerve revealing compression. Pain symptoms...

Some patients with headache report that they have frequently used physical therapies such as application of cold to relieve their headache. There are only a few reported studies related in migraine. In this study, we investigated the effect on migraine patients. Twenty-eight were included. Cold therapy was administered them by gel cap. Patients cap during two attacks. Before and after therapy, severity recorded using visual analogue scale (VAS). for 25 min each application. They VAS score...

This study investigated the changes in brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) acute phase of brucellosis. Twenty-two patients with brucellosis without neurologic involvement and seven neurobrucellosis were included. BAEPs evaluated before treatment. No patient had a symptom hearing loss. Patients who did not show any abnormalities their recording. suggests that are disease or neurological may have normal BAEPs. do seem to be sensitive method for central nervous system brucella disease.

Pathogenesis of leukoaraiosis (LA) is not clearly understood and its significance in patients with stroke remains undetermined. In the Neurol­ogy Department Ankara Hospital, computed tomography (CT) examination brain was performed for various reasons 288 patients. LA detected 178 by use CT. Patients had a higher incidence hypertension history (70.8%) when compared non-LA group (57.3%; p <. 05). There no statistically significant difference terms sex, mean age, smoking, diabetes mellitus,...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance serum ADP-ribosylation and NAD glycohydrolase activity in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). A total 108 CRC who underwent curative surgery 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled study. levels determined. association laboratory factors their impact on overall survival (OS) disease free (DFS) shown. preoperative significantly higher than control group (p<0.001). correlated tumor stage (p=0.05, p=0.001), (p<0.001, p<0.001),...
