Öğe Electroencephalography findings in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder(2004) Yaşan A.; Gürgen F.Aim: The role of functional brain pathology in the etiology of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is often determined by proton emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) and electroencephalography (EEG). EEG has important advantages including non-invasiveness, feasibility and cost effectiveness. The aim of this study was to compare EEG findings of OCD group with normal healthy controls and investigate the effects of some clinical and demographic factors in the OCD group on EEG findings. Methods: In this prospective study, 46 patients were diagnosed as OCD according to DSM-IV criteria in a psychiatry clinic between July 2003 and December 2003 were compared with forty-six normal healthy control who did not have any neurological or psychiatric disorders. Standard EEG recording was recorded only in the resting period without using any activation methods. Results: There was no significant difference between the patients and control group regarding sex and age (p>0.05). EEG abnormalities were found in 52.2% of OCD group and 13% of the control group (p<0.01). When all beta-waves were excluded, EEG abnormalities were found in 30.5% of OCD patients and 2.17% of the control group (p<0.01). The most common abnormal EEG findings found in the OCD group were slow, spike and sharp wave activities. These EEG findings were most commonly localized to left frontal and temporal lobe. Conclusion: The occurrence of EEG abnormality in one-third of OCD patients suggests the importance of functional brain anatomy in determining the etiology of OCD. Further detailed functional and electroencalpholographic studies are required for the evaluation of frontal and temporal lobe in OCD patients as most EEG abnormalities were located in those lobes.Öğe Premarital sexual experience and its relationship with conservative sexual myths in male university students(2009) Eşsizo?lu A.; Yaşan A.; Yildirim E.A.Objective: This study aims to identify premarital sexual behavior of male university students, and to determine the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of sexual behavior and conservative Islamic sexual myths. Method: 463 male university students from various departments of the university where this study was carried out were reached with this purpose. Evaluations were made on 382 (84%) students who participated in the study and fulfilled the evaluation criteria. The participants filled out the socio-demographic data form, sexual experience information form and sexual myth form, in sequence. Results: The number of students who had experienced masturbation was 316 (82.7%), and the number who had experienced at least one sexual intercourse was 159 (41.6%). The rates of masturbation and experience of sexual intercourse were higher in those who did not perform their daily religious activities. Those with experience in masturbation and sexual intercourse had a lower rate of conservative sexual myths. Discussion: Although the mean age of first masturbation was compatible with literature data in our participants, mean age of first sexual intercourse was higher than that in western populations. This result supports the results of the studies carried out on Asian populations. Absence of a difference regarding socioeconomic characteristics in the groups with different sexual experience, urban or rural living not causing a significant difference for experience in masturbation and the majority of samples intensively performing their daily religious activities suggest that factors related with religion may play a role in sexual experience. The intensity of performing religious activities is an important factor influencing sexual experience in the premarital period. Those with sexual experience have a lower rate of conservative sexual myths. Detailed studies on through which effects religion can determine sexual experience are needed.Öğe Quality of life, depression and anxiety among patients who have undergone permanent or temporary ostomy(2008) Yaşan A.; Ünal S.; Gedik E.; Girgin S.Objective: The aim of this study is to compare quality of life, depression and anxiety after ostomy among patients who have undergone permanent or temporary ostomy. Methods: Twenty two patients who were undergone permanent and thirty one patients who were undergone temporary ostomy were included in the study. Sociodemographic and ostomy information form, quality of life scale which had 20 questions and developed for patients with ostomy, the section of SCID-I which was deal with depression and anxiety, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were applied to those patients. The results determined in the two groups, permanent and temporary ostomy were compared. Results: Depression and anxiety diagnosing rates were 35.85%, and 56.60% among all our patients respectively. Permanent and temporary ostomy groups were compared and a difference was obtained in the answers of these groups to four questions, which was about encountered problem, or anxiety, of quality of life test. On the other hand, any difference was not found in the rates of depression and anxiety. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and trait anxiety average score were not found between the two groups. But state anxiety average score of temporary ostomy group was obtained higher than permanent ostomy group. Discussion: The presence of ostomy -temporary or permanent- clearly affects the quality of life of patients physically, sociological, and psychologically without regarding temporary or permanent. Also it commonly leading to psychiatric disorders of depression and anxiety. Patients should be routinely screened for these disorders in order to provide early intervention and treatment.
