Fibromyalgia (FM) is a widespread painful disease that has a 2-8% prevalence. Its diagnosis is generally performed by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. However, these criteria are subjective and their reliability is controversial. In this study, painful stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) were applied to both hands of healthy controls and FM patients and hemodynamic responses was measured by using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Features extracted from hemodynamic responses and self-report data were used with 4 different classifiers and 14 different parameters. In conclusion, classification performed by objective data collected from fNIRS signals (95%) gave higher accuracy than classification performed by subjective self-report data (83%). This study showed that painful stimulation and TENS application can be used to diagnose Fibromyalgia disease by using fNIRS.

The association between metabolic syndrome and its components with systemic lupus erythematosus: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Hallajzadeh, J.; Khoramdad, M.; Izadi, N.; Karamzad, N.; Almasi-Hashiani, A.; Ayubi, E.; Qorbani, M.; Pakzad, R.; Sullman, M. J. M.; Safiri, S. (2018-05-01)
Objectives: Based upon inflammatory-related factors in chronic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as the long-term prescription of corticosteroids, metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence is expected to be higher in SLE patients than among those without SLE. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze: (1) the worldwide prevalence of MetS in patients with SLE using different criteria, (2) the risk of MetS in patients with SLE compared with those without SLE, and (3) the risk of MetS component ...
Analyzing the expression patterns of vitamin D metabolizing CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 in brain tissue of vitamin D treated mice with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Özdoğan, Dilara; Adalı, Orhan; Evin, Emre; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-8)
The etiopathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, is still unknown. MS is a complex, recurring, and frequently progressing condition. There is a hypothesis that MS is adversely associated with the length and intensity of sunlight exposure and vitamin D concentrations since MS frequency rises with increasing latitude. A female C57BL/6 mouse model for autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was used in this investigation to examine the ...
The serum angiotensin converting enzyme and lysozyme levels in patients with ocular involvement of autoimmune and infectious diseases
Sahin, Ozlem; Ziaei, Alireza; Karaismailoğlu, Eda; Taheri, Nusret (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-2-16)
Background: Increased serum levels of angiotensin converting enzyme and lysozyme are considered as inflammatory markers for diagnosis of sarcoidosis which is an autoimmune inflammatory disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the significance of differences in serum angiotensin converting enzyme and lysozyme levels of patients with ocular involvement of other autoimmune inflammatory and infectious diseases. Methods: This is a prospective study involving patients with ankylosing spondylitis, behc...
INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS OF VITAMIN D AND VITAMIN D METABOLIZING CYP450 ISOZYMES ON MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATHOPHYSIOLOGY IN ANIMAL MODEL BY MOLECULAR APPROACHES
Evin, Emre; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biology (2021-8)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complicated, recurrent, and often progressive inflammatory demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, yet etiopathogenesis remains unsolved. MS frequency increases with increasing latitude, leading to a hypothesis that MS is inversely correlated with the duration and intensity of sunlight and vitamin D concentrations. In this study, the relationships between vitamin D supplementation, MS, VDR, and vitamin D metabolizing CYP enzymes, including CYP2R1, CYP27A1...
Effectiveness of topical use of natural polyphenols for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease: a retrospective study including 192 patients
Aksoy, Hasan Mete; Aksoy, Berna; Egemen, Didem (John Libbey Eurotext, 2010-07-01)
Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) is a common disorder. None of the current treatment methods seems to be the ideal treatment for SPSD. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of polyphenols produced from the components of natural organic matter in soil in the treatment of SPSD. One hundred and ninety two patients with SPSD who used topical polyphenols for the treatment of their disease were studied retrospectively. Information on the characteristics of patients and treatment and results o...
