A 35-yr-old male patient experienced a sudden loss of speech understanding due to a bilateral cerebrovascular disease. A detailed summary of audiological and neurological findings was presented. Findings indicated that the presence of P-a waves of the Middle Latency Response (MLR) may be a positive prognosis for improvement in hearing thresholds and speech understanding.

Psychological distress in rheumatoid arthritis patients: An evaluation within the conservation of resources theory
Dirik, Gulay; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray (2010-01-01)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease, which can lead to considerable psychological distress. The present study evaluated anxiety and depression symptoms for this chronic and painful illness within the framework of the conservation of resources (COR) theory. Coping strategies, coping self-efficacy, religiousness and social support are very important personal resources, which have been found to protect individuals from psychological distress. The aim of the present study was to examine the predictiv...
Evaluation of hearing loss simulation using a speech intelligibility index
ARIÖZ, UMUT; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2016-01-01)
Hearing loss simulation (HLS) is a useful tool for hearing studies, since finding large numbers of hearing impaired volunteers with various levels of hearing loss is usually a problem. Correct simulation of the hearing impaired ear should take into account different suprathreshold effects, such as reduced frequency selectivity, reduced audibility, and loudness recruitment. Although these effects can be implemented using various algorithms, so far they have not been evaluated in detail taking into account su...
Diagnostic Criteria And Clinical Manifestations Of Presumed Latent Tuberculosis-Related Uveitis In A Bacille Calmette-Guerin Vaccinatinated Community
Gurses, Ozlem; Karaismailoglu, Eda (2015-06-01)
Purpose: The wide range of clinical manifestations of presumed latent tuberculosis-related uveitis (TRU) make its diagnosis difficult in an endemic community. We described the ocular manifestations of patients with TRU, and we evaluated the correlation between skin induration value of tuberculin skin test (TST) and tuberculosis antigens tube value of QuantiFERON®-TB Gold (QFT) test in a Bacille Calmette-Guerin<br /> (BCG) vaccinated community. Methods: This was a prospective 1-year study in a tertiary refe...
Posttraumatic growth and psychological distress among rheumatoid arthritis patients : an evaluation within the conservation of resources theory
Dirik, Gülay; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray; Department of Psychology (2006)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, deteriorative disease, which leads to psychological distress. ‘Conservation of Resources theory (COR)’ is a relatively recent stress model, developed by Hobfoll (1988, 1989). This resource-oriented theory is based on the assumption that psychological stress is a reaction to a threat of loss of resources, loss of resources and/or lack of resource gain after investment in resources. Religiousness, coping abilities, coping self-efficacy and social support are very import...
Ophthalmoparesis, papillitis and premacular hemorrhage in a case with endocarditis: A rare presentation ofBrucellosis
Sahin, OzlemGurses; Pelit, Aysel; Turunc, Tugba; Akova, YoncaAydln (Medknow, 2010)
We report a rare presentation of brucellosis as bilateral optic nerve and right abducent nerve involvement, and endocarditis complicated by right premacular hemorrhage in a 28-year-old white female. The patient showed improvement with both medical and surgical therapy. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of papillitis, gaze palsy and endocarditis complicated with premacular hemorrhage in endemic regions.
