    Abstract Purpose: Poor sleep quality, mood disorders, and vitamin D deficiency are common in stroke. We investigated the association between serum vitamin D levels and pre-stroke sleep quality and the occurrence of poststroke depression (PSD) and poststroke anxiety (PSA) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
    Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included hospitalized patients with AIS and age- and sex-matched controls. Vitamin D levels were measured within 24 h of admission. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at admission. The severity of depression and anxiety symptoms was evaluated according to Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory scores, respectively, within 72 h after admission.
    Results: Comparing 214 AIS patients with 103 controls, patients had significantly higher scores of Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and PSQI and lower vitamin D levels (p < 0.001). Among AIS patients, Beck Depression Inventory (p = 0.004) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (p = 0.018) scores were significantly higher in bad sleepers (PSQI score ≥ 6) than in good sleepers (PSQI score ≤ 5). Correlation analysis revealed negative correlations between serum vitamin D levels and Beck Depression Inventory (r =  - 0.234; p < 0.001), Beck Anxiety Inventory (r =  - 0.135; p = 0.016), and PSQI (r =  - 0.218; p < 0.001) scores.
    Conclusion: Decreased serum vitamin D levels at admission are associated with a high risk for PSD and PSA in patients with poor pre-stroke sleep quality during the early stages of AIS.

    Abstract Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a subclass of focal motor status epilepticus. Despite the evidence for a cortical origin, subcortical pathologies-especially those involving the thalamus-have been proposed. Here, we report a case of EPC with focal faciobrachial seizures, with a reversible pulvinar thalamic lesion detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as has not previously been reported. An 89-year-old man presented to our emergency department with a three-hour history of right-sided continuous faciobrachial seizure activity. Diffusion-weighted images showed hyperintensity in the left thalamus in the pulvinar region. Follow-up MRI revealed complete resolution of the abnormal signal in the same region. Our case was interesting because of the EPC caused by a transient thalamic pulvinar lesion in an unusual localization in an elderly patient with no previous brain lesions.

    Abstract Purpose: Accumulating data demonstrated that raised homocysteine is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, it remains unclear whether high homocysteine level is also a risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke, which accounts for about one-fifth of stroke patients. Our aim was to measure the plasma homocysteine levels in patients with hemorrhagic stroke to explore a possible link. Materıals and Methods: We included thirty patients with ischemic stroke, thirty patients with hemorrhagic stroke, and thirty healthy volunteers. All participants were examined for traditional risk factors and levels of folic acid, homocysteine, and vitamin B12. Results: Hypertension was higher in both ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke patients than in healthy participants (p=0.029). Homocysteine levels were significantly higher in both ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke groups than in the control group (p=0.001), with no statistically difference between each other (p>0.05). Vitamin B12 levels were significantly lower in both ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke patients than in the controls (p=0.001), with no statistically difference between each other (p>0.05). Folic acid levels did not significantly differ between the groups (p>0.05). We did not find correlation between homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folic acid levels (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study indicated that the homocysteine levels were high in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Larger cohorts are needed to clarify the role of homocysteine in hemorrhagic stroke.

    Abstract Objectives: Data are limited regarding the relationship of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with neurological symptoms (NS) in COVID-19 patients. This study is the first to assess the utility of the NLR, MLR, and PLR for predicting COVID-19 severity in infected patients with NS.
    Materials and methods: Consecutive 192 PCR-positive COVID-19 patients with NS were included in this cross-sectional and prospective study. The patients were classified into the non-severe and severe groups. We analyzed routinely complete blood count in these groups in terms of COVID-19 disease severity.
    Results: Advanced age, a higher body mass index, and comorbidities were significantly more common in the severe group (
    Conclusion: We found positive associations of COVID-19 severity with the NLR and PLR in infected patients with NS. Further research is required to shed more light on the role of neurological involvement in disease prognosis and outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate cognitive performance for the first time in participants with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
    Participants and methods: In total, 70 participants with NAFLD and 73 age-matched and sex-matched healthy participants were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study. The diagnosis of NAFLD was made on the basis of abdominal ultrasonography findings. Anthropometric indices were calculated, and routine laboratory analyses were carried out for each participant. All participants provided sociodemographic data and completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Cognitive functions were evaluated using the Turkish version of the MoCA, with a cut-off score for mild cognitive impairment of less than 21 points.
    Results: The MoCA scores were significantly lower in participants with NAFLD than in the healthy group (P<0.05). In addition, more NAFLD participants than healthy participants presented with deficits in the visuospatial (P<0.05) and executive function domains (P<0.05). In the multivariate model, education level [2.79 (1.12-6.96); P<0.05] and area of residence [5.68 (2.24-14.38); P<0.001] were associated independently with cognitive dysfunction in both the NAFLD and the healthy groups. The MoCA scores were correlated negatively with fibrosis 4 scores in NAFLD participants (r=-0.359; P<0.05). However, hepatosteatosis grade and the presence of metabolic syndrome were not correlated with MoCA scores in the NAFLD group (P>0.05).
    Conclusion: Our results show that NAFLD patients may have early or subtle cognitive dysfunction, including in the visuospatial and executive function domains, as indexed by scores on the MoCA test. Further targeted psychometric testing will be required to confirm the presence of cognitive impairment in this population.
