Musul’a Fransa konsolosu olarak atanan Paolo Emilio Botta ile 19. yüzyılın son
çeyreğinde Mezopotamya Arkeolojisi’nde önemli değişimler yaşanmaya başlar.
Botta’nın Musul çevresinde yaptığı ...araştırmalar sırasında Khorsabad köyünden
gelen bir kişi, bir tepenin üzerine inşa edilmiş kabartmalarla bezeli taşlar ve
yazıtlardan bahseder. Kuyunjik’teki üç ay süren yorucu çalışmalardan sonra Botta,
20 Mart 1843’te bir grup işçisini Khorsabad’a göndererek kazıya başlatır. Ancak
Botta’nın Musul’daki çalışmalarında bir süre sonra bazı problemler baş göstermeye
başlar. Özellikle vilayetteki Mehmed Paşa’nın çeşitli engeller oluşturduğu
görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Botta’nın kazı izin ve belgelerini, Musul Paşası’nın
engellerini ve Botta’nın Khorsabad’ta yaşadığı hikâyenin ayrıntılarını, arka planını
ve konu ile ilgili yazışmalarını öğrenmek için Osmanlı Arşivi’nde araştırmalarda
bulunduk. Botta’nın Khorsabad’da yaşadığı problemler, kazı iznine ve kazı evi
inşasına dair şartlar, Botta’nın bahsettiği ve köy evlerinin yanında bir kale gibi
çizilerek İstanbul’a gönderilen kazı evinin planı ve köylülerin Botta’nın çalışmalarına
ve kazı evine karşı sunduğu dilekçeler gibi belgelerle karşılaştık. Bu makalede
söz konusu belgeler üzerinden Botta’nın kazı dönemlerini, izin belgelerini ve
karşılaştığı problemleri yeniden okumaya çalışarak bu dönemin nasıl ele alındığını
ve nasıl değerlendirildiğini anlamaya çalıştık. Özellikle Khorsabad bağlamında
Botta’ya verilen kazı iznini ve maddelerini gözden geçirerek sonraki Asar-ı Atika
Nizamnameleri’ne katkısını irdeledik.
Victor Place was appointed as a consul to Mosul in 1851, where having arrived in 1852 he started excavations at Khorsabad. Financial problems forced him to stop this activity towards the end of 1853. ...As the Interior Ministry appointed him to another post in 1854, he wanted to transport the Khorsabad finds before he left Mosul. However, the roads were extremely unsafe because of the Muntafiq Arab tribes’ revolt. The local authorities repeatedly warned Place about this problem, stressing that he should wait until after the revolt was over before leaving. But despite these warnings, Place transported the Khorsabad finds from Mosul to Baghdad by keleks (rafts). The plan was then to transport them to Basra from Baghdad. Place set off on the river with a fleet made up of four keleks and a ship. Smuggled goods loaded on the ship made it heavier and attracted the attention of looters. On 21 May 1855, the fleet was attacked by bandits in the region of Kurna, located between Baghdad and Basra. The ship and two keleks sank at the spot, while the remaining two keleks arrived at Basra with some of the rescued goods. Various attempts to retrieve the sunken finds then followed. This article accordingly considers new data on the Kurna accident, drawing on Ottoman archival sources, particularly reports written at the time that discussed the possible causes of the accident and the negligent actions linked to it. As the destroyed memory of Khorsabad makes clear, archaeology cannot be rushed.
Objective: Neurological manifestations associated with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) are broad and heterogeneous. Although the predominant clinical presentation is respiratory dysfunction, ...concerns have been raised about the neurological hallmarks. Many reports suggest some findings on electroencephalography (EEG) can be relevant to COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Patients with COVID-19 admitted to hospital and referred for EEG from March 1, 2020 to February 15, 2021, were retrospectively enrolled. When research databases were queried with the terms “COVID-19 (ICD code: 10: U07.3) and “EEG”, total number of patients obtained was 32. Number of patients excluded due to unconfirmed diagnose with COVID-19 was 12. Twenty adult patients with certain diagnose of COVID-19 who underwent 21-electrode routine EEG during the outbreak with neurological deterioration were identified. Results: Background abnormalities was evident in one of fourth patients (n=5, 25%). Mild diffuse slowing (n=3, 15%) and focal slowing (n=3, 15%) with left frontotemporal tendency (n=2, 10%) were observed. Epileptiform abnormalities and seizures were detected showing focal (n=4, 20%) or generalized onset (n=1, 5%). Conclusion: Here we performed a retrospective single-centre study to evaluate the electroencephalographic findings in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 since it remains unknown. it needs to be more clarified with increasing number of recordings
Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy is a subgroup of sleep-related epilepsies and is very rare among focal epilepsies. It is a type of epilepsy that can be confused with the primary diseases of sleep ...and is diagnosed late. Here, we present a case diagnosed with elect roenc ephal ograp hy (video-EEG) monitoring 13 years later.

There is a mutual interaction between sex steroid hormones and epilepsy. Although female and male sex hormones and their metabolites access the brain via the blood brain barrier, they can also be ...synthesized de novo from cholesterol within the glia and neurones (neurosteroids). While estrogens enhance neuronal excitability, progesterone and its metabolites exert anticonvulsant effects. Testosterone, on the other hand, has a less consistent effect on seizure susceptibility, depending on the ratio of its conversion to estrogens. This paper focuses on the effects of neurosteroidal sex hormones on seizure susceptibility. Further study is required to identify the future role of their use in the treatment of epilepsy.
From the beginning of the 19th century onwards, researchers and travellers from various fields and occupations visited the eastern and southern provinces of the Ottoman State to carry out work ...related to their fields. Recognition of various archaeological remains and sites dating from different periods, along with the discovery of the East, the region of Mesopotamia and a deep-rooted past resulted in an increased interest by these people in these regions. With the rivalry among some museums in Europe to improve their displays and collections focusing on these regions, the eastern and southern provinces of the Ottoman State became the target of various excavations and surveys. However, these research and investigations that went on throughout the 19th century did not always end in a positive way in terms of the safety of the researchers. Vital problems that could potentially even result in death arose during the work of various researchers at various times in these regions. To give an example, Friedrich Eduard Schulz, a researcher in the region, was killed around Hakkari during his work (Potts, 2017, pp. 249-270; Ainsworth, 1842, p. 294). Waldemar Belck (Fig. 1) also encountered such a situation while he was carrying out research on the Kingdom of Urartu in the region of Van. Belck got injured and could survive only by chance. In this article, I will discuss this incident involving Belck and its consequences.
Summary Gelastic seizures are typically associated with hypothalamic hamartoma. Given the rarity of gelastic seizures, pathways for the motor and emotional aspects of laughter have been hypothesized ...but remain unclear. Only few case reports of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex who developed gelastic epilepsy have been reported. In this case study, we report a case of TS that presented itself mainly with dermatologic manifestations and without any neurological findings other than gelastic seizures. Ictal EEG revealed an active epileptic activity on the right fronto-temporal region. Clinical and laboratory findings were consistent with gelastic epilepsy that originated from temporal and extra-temporal lobes. Seizures were controlled using carbamazepine and levetiracetam polytherapy. In our case, there is no evidence of cortical and subcortical tubers, subependymal glial nodules, giant cell astrocytomas or aneurysm.
Toprakkale is the site that constitutes the starting point for the archaeology of Urartu, but the history of the largely destructive early excavations of the site is shrouded in darkness. The ...presence of items on the antiquities market said to come from the Van region attracted the interest of Austen Henry Layard, which led to brief excavations at the site of Toprakkale by the British Museum under Hormuzd Rassam in 1877, followed by further also brief investigations by K. Kamsarakan as well as continued illegal excavations. It is commonly held that Carl Friedrich Lehmann-Haupt and Waldemar Belck excavated here between 1898–1899, but research performed in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister's Office reveals their claim to have excavated there to be fraudulent and empty. This article uses primary source material from Ottoman archives to investigate the excavation history of one of the most iconic sites for the beginnings of Urartian Studies, and compels us to re-evaluate what we think we know about Toprakkale and the provenance of the objects associated with it.
