Yayın Olanzapin kullanımına bağlı çekilme diskinezisi ve süpersensitivite psikozu(Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2016-06) Karaş, Hakan; Güdük, Mehmet; Saatçioğlu, İbrahim ÖmerTardive dyskinesia (TD) usually appears after years of antipsychotic drug use and appears to be related to the total lifetime medication dose. In withdrawal-emergent dyskinesia (WE-D), which is considered to be a subtype of TD, dyskinetic symptoms often appear shortly after a rapid reduction in antipsychotic drug dose or sudden discontinuation of the drug. Supersensitivity psychosis, which is frequently observed along with TD and is considered to have a similar etiology as TD, is a psychotic relapse phenomenon that occurs after the withdrawal of an antipsychotic drug or a rapid reduction in the drug dosage. In general, atypical antipsychotics tend to be associated with less propensity to cause TD when compared with typical antipsychotics. Furthermore, olanzapine and clozapine may have a therapeutic potential in improving or totally curing TD. In this study, a case of WE-D because of discontinuing olanzapine use and supersensitivity psychosis is discussed.Yayın A clinical case of treatment-resistant schizophrenia: 60 hospitalizations and 342 ECT sessions in 36 years; lack of social support or undertreatment?(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2015-06) Cesur, Ender; Fıstıkçı, Nurhan; Dönmezler, Fadime Gizem; Saatçioğlu, İbrahim ÖmerIt is reported that between 20% and 25% of patients have schizophrenia that is resistant to treatment. The treatment resistance in schizophrenia is defined by many authorities. One of the generally accepted definitions is inadequate response despite treatment with different atypical antipsychotics, two or three times at least four-six weeks; the other acceptable one is although the use of two different typical or atypical antipsychotics in monotherapy during four-six weeks, inadequate treatment response is obtained. Duratian of hospitalization in treatment resistant cases is longer. In addition, when considering all the expenses and loss of functions, the cost of resistant cases to society is higher. 60 years old, women patient. She was hospitalized from emergency department where she came with his son, because of denial of treatment and homicidal intent. It is learned that age of onset was 24, disease began in a postpartum period, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she had 60 hospitalizations. Although clozapine, haloperidol, amisulpiride, risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, zuclopenthixol, fluphenazine, lithium and valproate were used adequate doses and time; a total of 342 ECT sessions were administered; response or partial response was achieved, she had not achieved long-term functioning and well-being. In the most recent admission, she had significant improvement with clozapine 275 mg/day and valproat 1000 mg/day. Despite all treatment efforts, schizophrenic patient with excessive admissions and frequent recurrences is discussed.Yayın The comparison of functional connectivity in Parkinson’s Disease patients with and without Parkin gene mutations(Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2025-06-19) Çebi, Merve; Ay, Ulaş; Kıçik, Ani; Erdoğdu, Emel; Tepgeç, Fatih; Uyguner, Zehra Oya; Tüfekçioğlu, Zeynep; Samancı, Bedia; Bilgiç, Başar; Emre, Murat; Demiralp, Tamer; Hanağası, Haşmet AyhanIntroduction: Mapping the functional connectivity of brain regions became appealing in recent research in neurology. Accordingly, a growing body of evidence shows resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) changes in neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s Disease (PD). As characterised by extensive and progressive dopaminergic loss in the substantia nigra, PD emerges with serious motor and non-motor dysfunctions. In the literature, the minority of PD cases have been associated with certain genetic mutations. The aim of this study was to investigate the rsFC in a group of PD patients having Parkin gene mutation. Method: Twelve PD patients with Parkin mutation (PP-PD), 12 PD patients without Parkin mutation (PN-PD) and 12 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. All participants underwent a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging as well as a neuropsychological assessment and clinical examination. Results: Results indicated that PP-PD had longer disease duration, a higher rate of dyskinesia and lower scores on complex visual perception tests. The resting state networks showed that all PD (consisting of PP-PD and PN-PD) and PP-PD groups had increased functional connectivity in the frontoparietal network as compared to the HC. In addition, the PP-PD group displayed decreased functional connectivity in the dorsal attention network compared to the PN-PD. Conclusion: In conclusion, our data suggests that PD with Parkin gene mutation might be emerging with distinct resting state functional connectivity changes in the brain.Yayın A novel approach to non-invasive intracranial pressure wave monitoring: a pilot healthy brain study(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-06-28) Karaliunas, Andrius; Bartusis, Laimonas; Krakauskaite, Solventa; Chaleckas, Edvinas; Deimantavicius, Mantas; Hamarat, Yasin; Petkus, Vytautas; Stulge, Toma; Ratkunas, Vytenis; Çelikkaya, Güven; Januleviciene, Ingrida; Ragauskas, ArminasIntracranial pressure (ICP) pulse wave morphology, including the ratios of the three characteristic peaks (P1, P2, and P3), offers valuable insights into intracranial dynamics and brain compliance. Traditional invasive methods for ICP pulse wave monitoring pose significant risks, highlighting the need for non-invasive alternatives. This pilot study investigates a novel non-invasive method for monitoring ICP pulse waves through closed eyelids, using a specially designed, liquid-filled, fully passive sensor system named ‘Archimedes 02’. To our knowledge, this is the first technological approach that enables the non-invasive monitoring of ICP pulse waveforms via closed eyelids. This study involved 10 healthy volunteers, aged 26–39 years, who underwent resting-state non-invasive ICP pulse wave monitoring sessions using the ‘Archimedes 02’ device while in the supine position. The recorded signals were processed to extract pulse waves and evaluate their morphological characteristics. The results indicated successful detection of pressure pulse waves, showing the expected three peaks (P1, P2, and P3) in all subjects. The calculated P2/P1 ratios were 0.762 (SD = ±0.229) for the left eye and 0.808 (SD = ±0.310) for the right eye, suggesting normal intracranial compliance across the cohort, despite variations observed in some individuals. Physiological tests—the Valsalva maneuver and the Queckenstedt test, both performed in the supine position—induced statistically significant increases in the P2/P1 and P3/P1 ratios, supporting the notion that non-invasively recorded pressure pulse waves, measured through closed eyelids, reflect intracranial volume and pressure dynamics. Additionally, a transient hypoemic/hyperemic response test performed in the upright position induced signal changes in pressure recordings from the ‘Archimedes 02’ sensor that were consistent with intact cerebral blood flow autoregulation, aligning with established physiological principles. These findings indicate that ICP pulse waves and their dynamic changes can be monitored non-invasively through closed eyelids, offering a potential method for brain monitoring in patients for whom invasive procedures are not feasible.Yayın Treatment and long-term outcome of mental disorders: The grim picture from a quasi-epidemiological investigation in 54,826 subjects from 40 countries(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2025-06) Fountoulakis, Konstantinos N.; Karakatsoulis, Gregory; Abraham, Seri; Adorjan, Kristina; Uddin Ahmed, Helal; Alarcòn, Renato Daniel; Arai, Kiyomi; Auwal, Sani Salihu; Berk, Michael; Levaj, Sarah; Yılmaz Kafalı, HelinIntroduction: This study registered rates of specific treatment options for mental disorders as well as their long-term outcome. Material and methods: The history of mental disorders was used as a proxy for diagnosis. The data came from the COMET-G study (40 countries; 54,826 subjects, 64.73 % females, 35.45±13.51 years old). The analysis included descriptive statistics, Risk Ratios, t-tests, and ANCOVA's. Results: 24.14 % reported a history of any mental disorder (depression >12 %, non-affective psychosis and Bipolar disorder 1 % each, >20 % self-injury, >10 % had attempted suicide, 7.17 % illegal substance abuse). Most patients were not under any kind of treatment (59.44 %) and most were not receiving treatment as recommended (e.g. 90 % of Bipolar and 2/3 of psychotic patients). No treatment at all and psychotherapy as monotherapy were consistently related to poorer outcomes. In anxiety or depression, only antidepressant monotherapy and benzodiazepines, in Bipolar disorder only antipsychotic monotherapy in males and antidepressant monotherapy in females and in non-affective psychosis antipsychotics and psychotherapy in females only, were related to good outcomes. No treatment modality was related to a good outcome in those with a history of self-harm, suicidal attempts, or illegal substance use. Only depression and treatment with antidepressants were related to metabolic syndrome. Discussion: In the community, the overwhelming majority of mental patients do not receive appropriate treatment or, even worse, no treatment at all. The outcome is unfavourable for the majority and only a few selective treatment options seem to make a difference.Yayın The relationship between conflict management styles used by nurse managers in psychiatric clinics and the stress level of their subordinates(Kare Publishing, 2025-06-30) Çabuk, Merve; Acuner, DenizObjectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the opinions of nurses working in psychiatric wards regarding their managers' conflict management styles and their self-perceived stress levels. Methods: This was a descriptive, comparative, and correlational study. The population consisted of 580 nurses working in psychiatric clinics of public and private hospitals in Istanbul, and 199 nurses were included in the sample. The "Personal Information Form," "Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory–II (ROCI-II) Form A," and "Perceived Stress Scale" were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions, the Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis, and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The participants’ mean scores on the Conflict Management Scale were as follows: integration subscale 2.50±0.90; obliging subscale 3.03±0.74; dominating subscale 2.92±0.85; avoiding subscale 2.98±0.66; and compromising subscale 2.61±0.83. The mean score of the Perceived Stress Scale was 13.78±4.74. The mean score for the perceived stress subdimension was 4.49±2.04, and for the perceived coping subdimension was 9.30±3.45. A statistically significant, weak positive correlation was found between the perceived stress subdimension and the dominating subscale, while a weak negative correlation was observed with the compromising and integration subdimensions. A weak negative correlation was also found between the perceived coping subdimension and the integration, obliging, and compromising subdimensions. Conclusion: According to the nurses, their managers most frequently use obliging, avoiding, dominating, compromising, and integration styles, respectively, in conflict management. As managers’ use of compromising and integration styles increases, the nurses’ perceived stress levels decrease.
