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
Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi Kampüs alanı içerisinde bulunan arkeolojik alanda yapılan araştırmalar söz konusu alanın Paleolitik Çağ, Geç Roma Dönemi, Bizans Dönemi ve Artuklu Dönemi gibi birbirinden ...farklı dönemlerde yerleşim görmüş olduğunu göstermektedir. Yerleşim yerinde ele geçen Alt Paleolitik Dönem buluntular dönemin yontmataş tekno-tipolojisi üzerine ve bölgenin kronolojik ve kültürel yapılanması hakkında önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Hırbe Helale yerleşim yeri aynı zamanda, jeolojik olarak, Asya ve Afrika Bloğu’nun birleştiği bir konumda yer alan Tur Abdin ile Suriye Stepleri arasında doğal geçiş üzerinde bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda insanoğlunun Afrika’da çıkış teorileri üzerine de önemli bilgiler verecek bir potansiyele sahiptir.
Purpose: The possible occurence of evoked potential (EP) abnormalities in patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy has been little investigated. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate ...possible changes in pattern‐reversal visual evoked potential (P‐VEP) responses in newly diagnosed epilepsy patients.
Methods: By using P‐VEPs, latency values of the N75 and P100 together with amplitude values of P100 were recorded in newly diagnosed idiopathic epilepsy patients. The patients comprised two groups; nonphotosensitive (non‐PS), and photosensitive (PS) patients.
Results: Shortened N75 and normal P100 latencies of the P‐VEP with higher than normal P100 amplitudes were detected in PS patients. In non‐PS patients, N75 latencies of the P‐VEPs were unaffected; however, P100 latencies were prolonged, and P100 amplitudes were unchanged.
Conclusions: P‐VEPs are different from those of controls in previously untreated idiopathic epilepsy patients. Results also indicate different P‐VEP features in patients with and without photoparoxysmal responses. The changes might be the result of a disorder of one or more neurotransmitters or subtle morphologic damage such as microdysgenesis.
The focus of this study is a recently discovered rock relief in the village of Olin/Elin/Yakınca, 30 km south-southeast of Midyat. This relief aligns with the route of Ashurnasirpal II’s campaign in ...879 BC, providing new insights into the Assyrian entry into the Tur Abdin region. The main objectives of the study are to identify and date the Elin relief by analyzing its location, execution, and iconography within the broader context of Ashurnasirpal II’s military campaign.
