Publication Insight into pain syndromes in acute phase of mild-to-moderate covid-19: Frequency, clinical characteristics, and associated factors(Wiley, 2021-10-26) Karli, Necdet; KARLI, HAMDİ NECDET; Gullu, Gizem; GÜLLÜ, GİZEM; Kilic, Erhan; KILIÇ, ERHAN; Dinc, Yasemin; DİNÇ, YASEMİN; Ursavas, Ahmet; URSAVAŞ, AHMET; Yilmaz, Emel; YILMAZ, EMEL; Zarifoglu, Mehmet; ZARİFOĞLU, MEHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; 0000-0002-3894-1231; IUQ-6999-2023; AAI-3169-2021; IZQ-0662-2023; AAD-1271-2019Background Pain has been frequently described as a clinical feature of COVID-19, and the main pain syndromes that have been associated with the acute phase of this disease so far are headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and neuropathic pain. Understanding the characteristics of pain symptoms is crucial for a better clinical approach. Methods Patients who were diagnosed as having COVID-19 using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were included in the study. Patients were asked to complete a 51-item questionnaire via a phone interview, which included questions on demographics, acute COVID-19 symptoms, the presence of pain symptoms, and their characteristics in the acute phase of COVID-19. Results A total of 222 out of 266 patients with COVID-19 participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 83.5%. A total of 159 patients reported at least one kind of pain syndrome with a prevalence of 71.6%. Myalgia was reported in 110 (49.6%) patients, headache in 109 (49.1%), neuropathic pain symptoms in 55 (24.8%), and polyarthralgia in 30 (13.5%) patients. A total of 66 patients reported only one type of pain, 46 reported two types, 42 reported three types, and five patients reported all four types of pain. Logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant associations between these pain syndromes and a strong association was found between neuropathic pain and headache. Conclusion Pain is a frequently observed symptom of mild-to-moderate COVID-19. There are significant relationships between pain syndromes in COVID-19, which may be due to a sequence of common etiologic factors. Significance This study described the main pain syndromes associated acute phase of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and its associated features. Headaches and pain of neuropathic characteristics were prevalent in this sample.Publication Juxtacortical hemorrhage in cerebral venous thrombosis: Cashew nut sign(Türk Nöroloji Derneği, 2021-09-01) Dinç, Yasemin; Güllü, Gizem; Hakyemez, Bahattin; Bakar, Mustafa; DİNÇ, YASEMİN; GÜLLÜ, GİZEM; HAKYEMEZ, BAHATTİN; BAKAR, HACI MUSTAFA; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nöroloji Anabilim Dalı; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0003-0342-5939; 0000-0001-9477-5031; 0000-0002-3425-0740; 0000-0001-5229-0001; IUQ-6999-2023; JFC-5005-2023; AAI-2318-2021; EKN-8251-2022Publication Pituitary involvement as a primary manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022-05-01) Koç, Emine R.; KOÇ, EMİNE RABİA; Güllü, Gizem; GÜLLÜ, GİZEM; Güner, Altuğ; GÜNER, ALTUĞ; Tolunay, Şahsine; TOLUNAY, ŞAHSİNE; Özpar, Rifat; ÖZPAR, RİFAT; Dalkılıç, Hüseyin E.; DALKILIÇ, HÜSEYİN EDİZ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nöroloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Romatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0264-7284; 0000-0001-6649-9287; A-7083-2015Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a systemic necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis that can predominantly affect systemic small- and medium-sized vessels. Isolated pituitary gland involvement at the onset of the disease is extremely rare in granulomatosis with polyangiitis and usually associated with other organ involvement, especially upper and lower respiratory tract and kidneys. This report highlights granulomatosis with polyangiitis -related pituitary dysfunction with clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings.Publication Index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients treated with fingolimod(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023-06-16) Günay-Polatkan, S.; GÜNAY POLATKAN, ŞEYDA; SIĞIRLI, DENİZ; Güllü, G.; GÜLLÜ, GİZEM; Sığırlı, Deniz; Koç, E.

Results of previous studies are controversial for the effect of fingolimod in terms of ventricular arrhythmias. Index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB) is a risk marker for predicting malignant ventricular arrhythmia. There is no evidence on the effect of fingolimod on iCEB in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The aim of this study was to evaluate iCEB in patients with RRMS treated with fingolimod .Methods: A total of 86 patients with RRMS treated with fingolimod were included in the study. All patients underwent a standard 12-lead surface electrocardiogram at initiation of treatment and 6 h after treatment. Heart rate, RR interval, QRS duration, QT, QTc (heart rate corrected QT), T wave peak-to-end (Tp-e) interval, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, iCEB (QT/QRS) and iCEBc (QTc/QRS) ratios were calculated from the electrocardiogram. QT correction for heart rate was performed using both the Bazett and Fridericia formulas. Pre-treatment and posttreatment values were compared.Results: Heart rate was significantly lower after fingolimod treatment (p< 0.001). While the post-treatment values of RR and QT intervals were significantly longer (p< 0.001) and post-treatment iCEB was higher (median [Q1Q3], 4.23 [3.95-4.50] vs 4.53 [4.18-5.14]; p< 0.001), it was found that there was no statistically significant change in iCEB and other study parameters derived using QT after correcting for heart rate using both of two formulas.Conclusions: In this study, it was found that fingolimod did not statistically significantly change any of the heart rate-corrected ventricular repolarization parameters, including iCEBc, and it is safe in terms of ventricular arrhythmia.
