[Patients with diabetes, renal failure and perimenopausal hypertension]

ÁBRAHÁM György

[The determinants of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is sympathetic overweight, which is the main risk factor for CVD. factors - hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (T2DM), renal function deterioration (CKD), dyslipidaemia and, in women, the perimenopausal status - significantly potentiates the adverse effects of diabetes, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus.]

[Important effects of renin-angiotensin system and angiotensin receptor blockers. Focus on valsartan]

FARSANG Csaba

[Blockade of AT1-receptors causes arteriolar vasodilation leading to the decrease the total peripheral resistance (TPR), the aldosterone secretion, and the sodium reabsorption in renal tubuli with reduction of the intraglomerular pressure.]

[Body mass index (BMI) is positively correlated with the frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, there are different types of obesity, and the localization of adipose tissue differs between the genders. In this study, we purposed to investigate whether there was an association between the amount of local adipose tissue thickness and anthropometry in upper extremity with the presence and/or electrophysiological severity of CTS on both genders. ]

A prerequisite for the treatment of carotid atherosclerosis is the accurate measurement of the stenosis, that is most commonly evaluated by duplex ultrasonography. In this study, we aimed to verify the reliability of 2D and 3D ultrasonography, comparing the data to results of post-mortem micro-CT examination. Neurological patients with any life-threatening, presumably fatal neurological disease were enrolled.

Factors affecting long-term prognosis in adult patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures

MELIHA TURKSEVER, BABURHAN GULDIKEN, HULYA OZKAN, MERVE Melodi CAKAR

Among epileptic patients who are monitored using the video-electroencephalography monitoring (VEM) technique, in some patients a psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) can be identified as a definitive diagnosis. The longterm prognosis of these patients is not well known. In this study, we aimed to determine the factors that affect the prognosis of PNES. Forty-one PNES patients diagnosed using VEM between 2012 and 2022

Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain tumors, has been extensively studied using OMICS methods, and the most characteristic molecular determinants have been incorporated into the histopathological diagnosis. Research data, nevertheless, only partially have been adopted in clinical practice. Here we aimed to present results of our epigeno­ mic GBM profiling to better understand early and late determinants of these tumors, and to share main elements of our findings with practicing professionals.
