    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Kocakaya, Hanife; Bayar Muluk, Nuray; Bekin Sarikaya, Pelin Zeynep
    Background Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental health disorder. Purpose To investigate the peripheric and central olfactory measurements in patients with BD using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Material and Methods This study was conducted retrospectively. Group 1 consisted of 27 euthymic patients with BD (14 men, 13 women) and Group 2 consisted of 27 healthy controls (14 men, 13 women). Olfactory bulb (OB) volume and olfactory sulcus (OS) depth (peripheric), and corpus amygdala and insular gyrus area (central) measurements were performed using cranial MRI. Results OB volume and OS depth value of the bipolar group were lower than the control group, but there were no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05). The corpus amygdala and left insular gyrus area of the bipolar group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were positive correlations between OB volumes and OS depths, the insular gyrus areas, and the corpus amygdala areas (P < 0.05). As the number of depressive episodes and duration of illness increased in bipolar patients, the depth of the sulcus decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion In the present study a correlation was detected between OB volumes and the structures, known as emotional processing (e.g. insular gyrus area, corpus amygdala), and clinical features. Accordingly, new treatment techniques, such as olfactory training, may be considered an option in the treatment of such patients with BD.

    The evaluation of vascular flow in clubfoot: a resistive index and peak systolic velocity study
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Bozkurt, Celal; Bekin Sarikaya, Pelin Zeynep; Karayol, Sunay Sibel; Sarikaya, Baran; Sipahioglu, Serkan; Kaptan, Ahmet Yigit; Orhan, Ozlem
    Resistive index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) are important Color doppler ultrasonography (CDU) parameters indicating the microcirculation and flow velocity in tissues. We aim to determine the changes in vascular flow characteristics in clubfoot after Ponseti treatment. There were three groups: the clubfoot group, the healthy group (the unaffected feet with unilateral deformities) and the control group. The Pirani severity scoring and CDU examinations of the foot were performed at initial admission and the 6th-month follow-up after Ponseti treatment. A total of 34 feet of 24 patients were included in the study. The mean age at initial treatment was 20.9 +/- 22.5 days. The RI and PSV values of the clubfeet and the healthy group were similar. Resistive index values were significantly lower, and PSV values were significantly higher in the control group. After Ponseti treatment, only RI of the dorsalis pedis artery decreased, but PSV increased for all of the arteries. Recurrence of the deformity deteriorates the improvement in vascular development. Resistive index and PSV values were not related to the initial severity of the deformity. The RI values were higher, and PSV values were lower in clubfoot patients compared with the normal control group. Vascular pathology is a component of clubfoot, and treatment success improves vascular development. The improvement of microcirculation and blood flow velocity together was detected only in the dorsalis pedis artery. The effect of vascular flow change on prognosis was not detected.
