Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a alternative treatment in Parkinson's disease. The iam of this case report is to present a case with a positive effect of STN-DBS on early-term results in Parkinson's disease. A 45-year-old man who underwent STN-DBS surgery as a treatment method for Parkinson's Disease was presented. He was assessed in preoperative and postoperative period. STN-DBS surgery reduced the clinical severity of Parkinson's disease, the patient walked a certain distance in a shorter period, increased number of motion repetitions at a certain time interval, and decreased anxiety and depression level. In conclusion STN DBS surgery has a positive effect on physical functions in Parkinson's disease and it may be useful to perform follow-up study in order to evaluate changes in cognitive functions.

Subtalamik çekirdek derin beyin stimülasyonu (STN-DBS) Parkinson hastalığında alternatif bir tedavi yöntemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Parkinson hastalığında STN-DBS'nin erken dönem sonuçları üzerine etkisini bir olgu bağlamında incelemektir. Parkinson hastalığında bir tedavi yöntemi olarak STN-DBS cerrahisi geçiren 45 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu. Olgu ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası olmak üzere iki kez değerlendirildi. STN-DBS cerrahisinin Parkinson hastasında Parkinson Hastalığının klinik şiddetini azalttığı, hastanın belirli mesafe arasını daha kısa sürede yürüdüğü, belirli zaman aralığında hareket tekrar sayısının arttığı, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyinin azaldığı belirlendi. Sonuç olarak STN-DBS'in Parkinson hastalığında fiziksel fonksiyonlar üzerine olumlu etkisi belirlenmiş olup, kognitif fonksiyonlardaki değişikliklerin değerlendirilebilmesi için işlem sonrası izlem çalışmasının yapılması yararlı olabilir.

Neurophysiological learning, or Brain Based Learning, which is one of the rising values of recent years, has been the subject of many researches. In this type of researches, it is aimed to examine the cognitive skills and emotional states that constitute the back ground of brain-based learning. Hafiz is the memorization of the whole Quran. In our study, the effect of hafiz of Quran training on the brain and the effect of brain infrastructure on hafiz of Quran were examined. Our aim is to examine the basic parameters of formal education and memory education in terms of the following parameters and to analyze the relationships between them; We analysed the relationship between cognitive abilities such as Continuous Attention (COG), Selective Attention (SIGNAL), Reasoning Ability (SPM), Visual Memory (TAVTMB), Response Rate-Quality (DT) and emotional states (CDICARS). DT, SPM, COG, SIGNAL, TAVTMB tests in the Vienna Computerized Test System were used to measure response-quality, nonverbal intelligence, continuous attention and selective attention, and also to assess emotional states with anxiety and depression scales (ÇABTÖ and CDI). Results were analyzed with SPSS statistics program. It was found that DT, DT time, SPM, SIGNAL time and TAVTMB values increased significantly after pre-training (p <0,05). As a result, it was found that the cognitive skills of the students increased after memorizing the Quran. This elevation was thought to be associated with neurophysiological learning. Morover, memory training on hafis of quran has a positive effect on other cognitive abilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of our study is to examine the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery on severity of dystonia, mobility, emotional status, and health-related quality of life (QOL) in patient with dystonia. This study was carried out on a case of 41-year-old female with complaints of neck and arm pain, involuntary contraction for 30 years. GPi-DBS was applied to the patient bilaterally in 2010. Global Dystonia Scale (GDS) was used to assess the severity of the patients dystonia, effects on body parts and functions. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was applied to detect emotional status. 12- Meter Walking Test (mobility) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) were used to evaluate quality of life. All assessments were repeated prior to surgery, after surgery 1st year and 3rd years. Prior to surgery, GDS was 112. Postoperative 1st and 3rd years, GDS was respectively 69/84. Prior to surgery, the total BDI score was 31. Postoperative 1st and 3rd years, GDS was respectively 28/40. 12-Meter Walking Test results were respectively 18/10/15 sec. for the prior to surgery, postoperative 1st. and 3rd years. General health status and physical function subscales of SF-36, respectively, prior to surgery were 30/75, postoperative 1st year was 60/85 and 3rd years were 20/35. GPI-DBS is a surgical procedure, which has positive effect on mobility, emotional status and QOL, in patient with dystonia. [Cukurova Med J 2015; 40(2.000): 358-363]

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the current study was to investigate overprotective parenting attitudes and emotional status among thalassemia, hemophilia and leukemia patients' mothers. METHODS: Seventy-four children who were between six to sixteen years old participated in current study. Fifty-two children were in the study group (thalassemia, hemophilia and leukemia patients) and twenty-two children in control group. Brief Symptom Inventory and Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) were used to collect data. RESULTS: According to the results, over protective parenting attitudes in the study group were significantly higher than the control group. When the study group was compared within itself, it was observed that the mothers of the hemophilia had significantly protective attitudes compared to the leukemia patients. The depression, anxiety, negative self-perception, somatization and hostility scores of the study group were significantly higher than the control group. At the same time, there is a positive relationship between over-protective parenting attitudes and anxiety. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: Overprotective parenting attitudes can cause some psychopathology and developmental defiency in the childrens' future personal life. Children diagnosed with chronic or serious illness and their family should be evaluated psychologically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body awareness, pain, emotional status, and quality of life among healthy people. Methods: In the study, 100 healthy volunteers aged 20-40 years were evaluated. A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to describe pain intensity. To determine the emotional status of the subjects, the Beck Depression Inventory was used. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) was used to evaluate body awareness status, and the SF-36 survey was used to evaluate quality of life. Results: The mean age of the participants was 36.88±10.45 years. The mean of pain intensity was 3.32±2.90. The mean of the scores of emotional status was 8.54±7.77, and the mean of the scores of the BAQ was 94.77±13.97. There was a negative correlation between VAS and BAQ. The BAQ scores showed a negative correlation with emotional status, but the correlation was not statistically significant, due to the fact that all participants had depressive symptoms at a minimal level (p=0.264). BAQ scores were showed a positive correlation with some subscales of SF-36 including energy level (p=0.001) and general health perceptions (p=0.023). Conclusion: This study has showed that the level of body awareness has positive effects on quality of life. Pain and emotional status has affected indirectly on body awareness due to body awareness is a matter that should be assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
