E-Mail: Ragab_walla@yahoo.com Abstract Aim: The ultimate goal for many stroke patients is to achieve maximum level of functional independence that enables them to return home and reintegrate into community life as fully as possible. There are variable levels of impairment in stroke patients. Detecting the suitable type of feedback (visual or auditory) is important for improvement the impairment of stroke patients. Material and Method: Sixty left chronic stroke patients were representinging the samples of the study. The patients were assigned into four equal groups; The patients in group1(G1) and group 2 (G2) were of mild impairment of upper limb function while patients in group3 (G3) and group4 (G4) were of moderate impairment of upper limb function. Each group was tested by WMFT for detecting the function and time of motor performance of upper extremity( UE) . G1 and G3 received visual feedback training while G2 and G4 received auditory feedback training. Results: There was a significant increase in the degree of motor performance in all of the four groups G1, G2, G3 and G4 P value was less than with more evidence for .05 with more evidence for G1. Also there was a significant decrease in the time of motor performance in all the four groups P value was less than .05 with more evidence for G3. Discussion: Visual and auditory feedback have an effect on improving the motor performance of UE in mild and moderate impairment stoke patients with more evidence for visual feedback.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48767924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Familial Mediterranean fever(FMF) and periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis(PFAPA) syndrome are the two most common autoinflammatory diseases characterized by frequent episodes with high fevers.We aimed to identifythe predictors of FS in patients with FMF andPFAPA. Material and Method: A total of 112 patients, 66 patients with PFAPA and 46 patients with FMF,whose symptoms’ onset was before six years of age,were enrolled between January 2015 and January 2018 in our tertiary hospital. Regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors. Results: Family history of recurrent febrile tonsillitis was found to be one of the predictors of FS(P = 0.038) in PFAPA syndrome and was observed in 31.8%(22/67) of patients. The risk of FS was not different between patients with and without MEFV variants in PFAPA syndrome. The frequency and recurrence rate of FS was 18.2% and 58.3% in PFAPA syndrome,and 15.2% and 57.1% in FMF. Patients with family history of recurrent fever had 3.4 times higher odds of having FS(p=0.019)(95%CI=1.2 to 9.5).Frequency of fever was not found as a predictor of FS, although duration of fever was a predictor of FS.Family history of recurrent fever was not correlated with the family history of FS. Discussion: It may be suggested that susceptibility of FS in patients with FMF and PFAPA syndrome may not be attributable solely to the characteristic features of fever.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48803420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Method: The lateral orbital distance was found by measuring the distance that starts from the axial lateral orbital rim to the point where the lateral rectus muscle contacted the bone. The lateral wall width was measured at the superior border of the lateral rectus muscle. The sphenoid trigone thickness was measured at the level passing through the superior border of the lateral rectus muscle. Results: In the right eye, orbital lateral wall length was 21.6 mm, trigone thickness was 13.0 mm, and lateral wall width was 13.0 mm, while in the left eye, the orbital lateral wall length was 20.7 mm, trigone thickness was 9.5 mm, and the lateral wall width was 13.4 mm. Discussion: In this study we measured both the mean width and length of the larger part of the sphenoid, and the trigone thickness. These measurements can be used as an anatomical guide in the deep lateral orbital decompression surgery.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47023179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Method: The study population consisted of 154.969 patients admitted to the Adıyaman University, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between 2015 and 2018. Clinical records of 41 patients diagnosed with TN were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. Localization, age and sex distribution and the prevalence of TN were determined. Results: Among the 41 cases with TN, 27 were female and 14 were male. The mean age of the patients was 58.59 ± 16.38 years. Thirty-nine patients (95.1%) had unilateral and 2 patients (4.9%) had bilateral TN. While the mandibular branch (V3) involvement of the trigeminal nerve was observed in 16 patients, 5 patients showed maxillary branch (V2) involvement, and 3 patients exhibited ophthalmic branch (V1) involvement. In addition, V1+V2 involvement was observed in 1 patient, V2+V3 involvement was observed in 5 patients and V1+V2+V3 involvement was described in 11 patients. Overall, the prevalence of TN was found to be approximately 0.03% (26/100.000). Discussion: TN is a rare disease, estimation of its prevalence is difficult, hence, the literature on the prevalence and of TN is limited. The prevalence rate is about 4.5-29.5 per 100.000 individuals in other studies. The present study revealed that the prevalence of TN in Adıyaman and its surroundings was 26/100.000. This study may be the first one in Turkey to investigate the prevalence of TN.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48210669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Method: Twenty participants underwent exercise for 15 minutes on a treadmill. Measurements of choroidal thickness, intraocular pressure (IOP), ocular pulse amplitude (OPA), and blood pressure were taken before and after exercise. Enhanced Depth, Imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) was used to measure choroidal thickness at the fovea and at the areas 1500μm nasal and 1500μm temporal to the fovea; IOP and OPA were measured by the dynamic contour tonometer (DCT; Swiss Micro technology AG, Port, Switzerland). Blood pressure was measured concurrently with the acquisition of the scans. Results: Twenty participants (20 eyes) with a mean age of 22.65±0.98 years were measured. There was a significant increase in systolic and diastolic pressure after exercise (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease in IOP and OPA after exercise (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the subfoveal, nasal or temporal choroidal thickness measurements after exercise (p>0.05). Discussion: In our study, there was no significant change in the thickness of the choroid after exercise. IOP and OPA significantly decreased, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly increased, after exercise. This indicates an adaptation of vascular resistance due to vasoconstriction. The IOP and OPA decreases do not seem to be related with the changes in choroid thickness.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44929672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Method: The medical records of 798 patients who underwent 12 core transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups to receive two different kinds of anesthesia during the procedure as follows: Group 1, rectal application of 2% lidocaine gel and Group 2 periprostatic nerve block. The perception of pain during the insertion of the probe and during the biopsy procedure was scored for each group separately by using a visual analog scale (VAS). Results: The mean age, mean total PSA level and mean prostate volume of the patients in Group 1 were 67.67 ± 8.91 years, 12.57 ± 17.67 ng/ml and 51.41 ± 22.62 ml respectively. The mean age, mean total PSA level and mean prostate volume of the patients in Group 2 were 64.64 ± 7.63 years, 13 ± 18.02 ng/ml and 53.44 ± 44.01 ml respectively. The mean VAS scores of Group 1 and Group 2 during probe insertion were 4,87 ± 1,14 and 5,19 ± 1,16 respectively (p<0.001). The mean VAS scores during biopsy were 3,56 ± 1,43 for Group 1 and 2,5 ± 0,91 for Group 2. The difference between these scores was statistically significant (p<0.001). Discussion: Using of lidocaine gel for analgesia in TRUS-guided prostate biopsy significantly decreases the perception of pain experienced during the probe insertion procedure. On the other hand, PPNB is more effective than the using of lidocaine gel in pain control when the level of pain experienced during the biopsy is examined. Analgesia is substantially ensured by using PPNB, but analgesia combined with topical anesthetic agents could provide a more comfortable biopsy procedure.","PeriodicalId":44485,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70550683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
