Article Demansın Davranışsal ve Psikolojik Belirtileri Bilgi Ölçeği’nin Türkçe Versiyonunun (DDPB-T) Geçerliliği ve Güvenilirliği: Bakıcılar Arasında Psikometrik Bir Değerlendirme(Turkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sagligi dernegi, 2024) Var, Levent; Güllüoğlu, Halil; Uysal, Hasan Armağan; Poyraz, Turan; Başaran, Simay; Eşkut, NeslihanAmaçArticle Citation - Scopus: 1Yaşlanmanın Yüz ve İsim Tanıma Üzerindeki Etkisi: Bir fMRI Çalışması(Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2023) Haznedaroğlu, Damla İşman; Gönül, Ali Saffet; Eroğlu, Seda; Uslu, Özgül; Oğuz, Kaya; Erata, Mehmet Can; Kan, Öykü Yavuz; Erdogan, YigitAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ilerleyen yaşla birlikte bellek görevi sırasında beyindeki fonksiyonel değişiklikleri tespit etmek ve bu değişikliklerin bellek performansıyla ilişkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Genç Yetişkin Grup (GYG; N=20; 20-25 yaş) ve İleri Yaş Grup (İYG; N=18; 60-70 yaş) olmak üzere iki grup dahil edilmiştir. Gruplara Montreal Bilişsel Değerlendirme (MoCA) puanları 21’in üstünde olan ve birinci dereceden akrabalarında Alzheimer Hastalığı öyküsü olmayan kişiler dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara yüz ve isimlerin öğrenildiği kodlama, yüz tanıma ve isim tanıma alt görevlerini içeren bellek görevi sırasında Fonksiyonel Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (fMRG) çekimi yapılmıştır. Bulgular: GYG’a göre, İYG’de yüz tanıma görevinde sol posterior singulat korteks, sol süperior frontal korteks, sol fusiform yüz tanıma alanında; isim tanıma görevinde sol süperior frontal korteks, sağ prefrontal korteks, sol anterior+posterior singulat kortekste aktivite artışı bulunmuştur. İYG yüz tanıma ve isim tanıma bellek testlerinde daha düşük doğru sayısına sahiptir (sırasıyla p=0,026; p=0,001). Sonuç: Bulgular İYG’de bellek görevi sırasında beyinde daha yaygın bir aktivasyon ortaya çıktığını tespit etmiştir. Bu durum ilerleyen yaşla birlikte bellekteki bilgiler hatırlanırken kişilerin daha fazla nöral ve bilişsel kaynağa ihtiyaç duyduğunu göstermektedir.Article Citation - Scopus: 1A Real Environment Based Virtual Reality Psychosocial Treatment May Help Patients With Schizophrenia To Increase Social Functioning: A Preliminary Study(Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2022) Hoşgelen, E.I.; Kartelli, F.; Berger, M.; Erinç, S.; Yerlikaya, D.; Özbek, Y.; Yener, Görsev; Alptekin, Köksal; Kurultayoglu, Simay Erinc; Akdede, BernaObjective: VR (Virtual Reality) is a novel treatment method for mental disorders. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the VR Psychosocial Treatment Program (PTP) on psychosocial functioning and symptoms in people with schizophrenia. Method: Seven schizophrenia patients who have been admitted to the Schizophrenia Outpatient Unit of Dokuz Eylül University School of Medicine and met the diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM-V diagnostic criteria were included in the study. Psychosocial functionality level was assessed by PSP (Personal and Social Performance Scale), positive and negative symptom severity with PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), and social skills with SSC (Social Skills Checklist). VR-PTP was continued for a total of 10 sessions and twice a week for five weeks. In this study, a real-environment-based VR-PTP for schizophrenia patients was developed. In the sessions, there were different real-environment-based VR contents including social interaction components such as cafe, market, bazaar, public transportation. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the PSP scores before and after the VR application (p=0.018). None of the patients reported motion sickness during VR sessions due to the immersive nature of VR. There was no significant difference in PANSS total and subscale scores before and after VR-PTP. Conclusion: In this preliminary study, we discovered that real-environment-based VR-PTP is effective for improving the social skills of patients with schizophrenia. Cognitive enhancement programs and psychosocial functionality therapies may be carried out using virtual reality in the near future. VR can assist patients in coping with their symptoms and day-to-day challenges. © (2023), (Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health).

Postinfectious processes, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, psychological stress, getting vaccinated, head injury and genetic factors have been identified possible etiological factors. Abnormal metabolism of serotonin and dopamine have also been reported. Alcohol and cannabis have been listed among triggering factors. With its role as a mediator required to transport long-chain fatty acids to mitochondrial matrix and its contributions in increasing oxidation of fatty acids, L-carnitine helps to produce more energy from burning fat while maintaining economic use of muscle glycogen stocks. Animal studies have shown a continous increase in dopamine discharge within nucleus accumbens via acetyl L-carnitine application. Carnitine supplementation is known to cause increased dopamine levels within cortical, hippocampal and striatal regions of the rat brain. One case report reported severe psychotic symptoms in a patient with bipolar disorder, following acetyl L-carnitine use. In this case presentation, we have aimed to present clinical course of an adolescent using L-carnitine for ergogenic support, as a possible trigger for the onset of a KLS episode.Article Turkish Adaptation and Validation of Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire Parent Form(Aves, 2023-01-02) Kilinc, Saliha; Bilgiç, Ayhan; Gormez, VahdetBackground: Behavioral inhibition has been proposed as a temperamental risk factor for the development of childhood anxiety disorders universally; however, there is no validated instrument for, especially, its evaluation in Turkish children. This study aimed to examine reliability and validity of the Turkish version of Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire parent form for children aged 3-7 years. Methods: Around 250 mothers or fathers of 3-7 years old children were recruited from non-clinical population to collect responses to the questionnaires. The sample was created by reaching 3 schools at preschool or elementary grade for the purpose of providing the questionnaires filled about the student and/or his/her little sisters and brothers by their parents; questionnaires were sent out to parents and then gathered. Parents were asked to fill sociodemographic data form, Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire parent form, Children Behavior Questionnaire, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionaire parent form in order to perform convergent and divergent validity analyses. Results: As a result of reliability analysis, total Cronbach alpha coefficient for Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire was determined as 0.92 with strong reliability. The internal consistency coefficients for Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire subscales also showed strong reliability with alphas ranging between 0.81 and 0.87 except for the performance (a = 0.69) and physical challenges (a = 0.19) subscales of which some items were excluded due to item-total correlations and confirmatory factor analysis results. In the validity assessment analyses, confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire has a construct validity with 5 factors loaded on the 2-second order main factors and one third-order final factor (root mean square error = 0.032, root mean square residual = 0.153, Comparative Fit Index = 0.978, Goodness of Fit Index = 0.915, and Turker-Lewis Index = 0.970). While the strongest correlations with the overall Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire score were found for 2 main subscales, inhibition to social novelties (r = 0.926, P <.001) and situational novelties (r = 0.928, P <.001), similarly peers (r = 0.848, P <.001) and new situations (r = 0.898, P <.001) subscales, had strong correlations with the overall Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire score. The weakest correlation with overall Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire score was observed for physical challenges subscale even though this subscale displayed moderate association (r = 0.454, P <.001). A good convergent validity was determined accompanied by significant moderate positive correlations with Children Behavior Questionnaire shyness and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire internalizing scales. An adequate divergent validity was also demonstrated based on significant positive mild to moderate correlations with Children Behavior Questionnaire impulsivity, Children Behavior Questionnaire smiling/laugh, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire prosocial scales, and nonsignificant correlation with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire externalizing scale. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the Turkish version of the Behavioral Inhibition Questionnaire parent form is an effective tool with good reliability and validity among 3-7 years old children.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32Covid-19 Anxiety in People Living With Hiv: an Online Cross-Sectional Study(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2020-12-17) Kuman Tuncel, Ozlem; Pullukcu, Husnu; Erdem, Huseyin Aytac; Kurtaran, Behice; Tasbakan, Selin Ece; Isikgoz Tasbakan, Meltem; Tuncel, Ozlem KumanBackground/aim: The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has had an enormous emotional impact on sonic vulnerable groups, such as people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLHIV). This study was planned with the aim of assessing the anxiety levels of PLHIV and the sources of their anxiety. Materials and methods: A web-based questionnaire was sent to PLHIV using the virtual snowball sampling method. The questionnaire included questions about sociodemographic status, information about HIV infection, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Additionally, some opinions of the participants about COVID-19 were asked. Results: A total of 307 respondents, with a median age of 33 years, from 32 different cities, participated in the study. More than half of the respondents reported the belief that COVID-19 was not sufficiently well-known by the medical community and nearly 45% believed that they would have snore complications if they contracted COVID-19. One-fourth of the participants had anxiety. Having a preexisting psychiatric disorder, perceiving that they were practicing insufficient preventive measures, not being sure about the presence of any individuals with COVID-19 in their environment, and living with a household member with a chronic disease were found to be the risk factors of PLHIV for having anxiety during this pandemic. The BAI scores were correlated with the patient-reported anxiety levels about the spread of COVID-19 in Turkey, acquiring COVID-19, transmitting COVID-19 to another person, and transmitting HIV to another person. Among the stated conditions, the most common concern was the spread of COVID-19 all over the country, while the least common was transmitting HIV to someone else. Conclusion: The results revealed that a significant proportion of the sample had anxiety, and the findings were essential for developing evidence-based strategies for decreasing the anxiety of PLHIV, especially for those who had risk factors and to provide them with better health care during this pandemic or other pandemic-like crises.Review Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Innovations in Neurophysiology and Their Use in Neuropsychiatry(Turkish Neuropsychiatry Assoc-Turk Noropsikiyatri Dernegi, 2022) Yener, Görsev; Öz, DidemMany structural and functional tests are used to explore the nature of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Cognitive involvement has become more and more remarkable in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. This condition evoked a paradigm shift, and today disorders are addressed from a neuroscientific perspective, including silent symptoms. The spatial resolution of structural studies is lacking and is combined with the unique temporal resolution of EEG methods. In our current clinical practice, EEG does not have definitive diagnostic value in psychiatric disorders, but it helps to make a correct diagnosis by excluding other neurological diseases. However, the use of EEG for research purposes is promising in both groups. In this review; there is up-to-date information on the use of electrophysiological examinations in neurological diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Frontotemporal dementia, and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, to define the point we have reached in our journey to understand these disorders.Review Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Senior Moments Are Never-Ending Times When You Are Old (are They?): First Step of Turquoise Project(Turkish Neuropsychiatry Assoc-Turk Noropsikiyatri Dernegi, 2022) Oz, Didem; Yildirim, Zerrin; Kiyi, Ilayda; Ozbek, Yagmur; Kulac, Ibrahim; Erkol, Gokhan; Tihan, Tarik; Yener, Görsev; Erkol, Gökhan; Gürvit, HakanIntroduction: The number of dementia patients is increasing in Turkey,, as well as all over the world. However, we do not know how much the society knows about dementia. The aim of this study is to evaluate people's concept of dementia, their awareness of dementia research and treatment, whether dementia and forgetfulness are considered normal in old age, and whether having dementia is associated with a lack of mental abilities. Methods: A Dementia Awareness Questionnaire was created in the form of a self-report questionnaire, consisting of 20 questions and using a five-point Likert-type answering method in order to question participants' information about dementia. In addition, we asked for demographic information such as age, gender, occupation, education level of the participants, as well as whether they have had relatives diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease. The surveys were administered online. Results: A total of 1551 participants from 53 cities were included in the study. Approximately half of the participants did not know the definition of dementia, 20.9% thought that dementia and Alzheimer's disease were the same; 50.4% considered forgetfulness, and 55.2% considered dementia as a natural consequence of aging. While 34.5% of the participants thought that dementia patients could be dangerous, 10.3% thought they could not continue living as a part of society. While 38.5% of healthcare professionals do not know the definition of dementia, 18.5% of them say that dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the same, 58.5% think that dementia patients are not fit to make their own decisions, 40.6% believe that dementia patients have criminal liability. 15.8% of healthcare professionals thought that dementia is only seen in elderly people; 21.4% thought that dementia, and 49.2% thought that forgetfulness was a result of normal aging. Conclusion: Our study confirms that dementia is still an unknown concept in society and among healthcare professionals. It is widely believed that forgetfulness and dementia are part of normal aging, and there is no cure for dementia. This study, which we have done in order to understand the level of dementia awareness in Turkish society, reveals the necessity for research on dementia and studies on how to increase dementia awareness.Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2A New Era in Psychiatry: Influence of Technology and Artificial Intelligence(Aves, 2019) Erol, Kutluhan; Erol, Almıla[Abstract Not Available]
