    Objective - Monitoring of the sural nerve is a sensitive method for detection of neuropathies. We examined different methods of studying sural nerve conduction in a group of patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in the same study. Materials and methods - Several parameters of sural nerve were investigated in 20 patients. First, sensory nerve conduction studies of the sural nerve were performed on the distal-leg and the proximal-leg segments. Second, dorsal sural nerve studies were conducted. Third, the sural/radial sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude ratios were calculated. The results were compared with those obtained from 21 healthy controls. Results - Abnormal results revealing peripheral neuropathy were found in only one patient and dorsal sural SNAP was absent in another patient (5%). Although the results of nerve conduction studies were within normal ranges except the patient with peripheral neuropathy, the lower extremity nerves and especially sural nerves have been found to be more affected and the parameters revealed large differences between groups (P < 0.05). Only dorsal sural nerve latency related to fasting blood glucose level in patients (< 0.05). Conclusions - Sural nerve studies should be of value to determine neuropathy in IGT patients. This study supported the idea that IGT is a transitional state before diabetes and also the importance of the dorsal sural nerve latencies for early detection of neuropathy.

    Evaluation of Disability in Migraine Cases With MIDAS
    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2012) Boylu, Ece; Adıgüzel, Tuğrul; Özden, Temel; Domaç, Füsun Mayda
    Migraine headache effects the daily activities and may cause important functional disability inwork and social life. In our study, we investigated the factors that cause disability in migrainepatients by using the Migraine Disability Assesment Scale (MIDAS).350 patients, diagnosed as migraine and who were not under prophylactic medication, admittedto the outpatient clinics of Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Departmentof 1st Neurology and GATA Haydarpaşa Training Hospital Neurology, were enrolled to thestudy. The intensity of the attack was assessed by visual pain score and the disability wasassessed by MIDAS. Patients were separated into 4 groups according to MIDAS scores.304 patients were female (86.9%) and 46 were male (13.1%). 231 patients were diagnosed asmigraine without aura, 117 were migraine with aura and 2 were basillary migraine. There wasa statistically significant relationship between gender and the duration of the disease with themigraine without aura (p=0.018 ve p=0.04, respectively) and also between migraine with auraand the intensity of the attack (p=0.023). There was a statistically significant relationshipbetween MIDAS and age (p=0.039), intensity of the attack (p=0.001) and the frequency of theattack (p=0.0001).Intensity and the frequency of the attack are the most important factors that influence thedisability in migraine
