    The aim of this study was to search for the frequency of late onset Pompe disease (LOPD) among patients who had a myopathy with unknown diagnosis registered in the pre-diagnostic part of a novel registry for LOPD within a collaborative study of neurologists working throughout Turkey. Included in the study were 350 patients older than 18 years who have a myopathic syndrome without a proven diagnosis by serum creatine kinase (CK) levels, electrodiagnostic studies, and/or muscle pathology, and/or genetic tests for myopathies other than LOPD. Acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) in dried blood spot was measured in each patient at two different university laboratories. LOPD was confirmed by mutation analysis in patients with decreased GAA levels from either both or one of the laboratories. Pre-diagnostic data, recorded by 45 investigators from 32 centers on 350 patients revealed low GAA levels in a total of 21 patients; from both laboratories in 6 and from either one of the laboratories in 15. Among them, genetic testing proved LOPD in 3 of 6 patients and 1 of 15 patients with decreased GAA levels from both or one of the laboratories respectively. Registry was transferred to Turkish Neurological Association after completion of the study for possible future use and development. Our collaborative study enabled collection of a considerable amount of data on the registry in a short time. GAA levels by dried blood spot even from two different laboratories in the same patient may not prove LOPD. LOPD seemed to be rarer in Turkey than in Europe. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

    Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Patients with Dysphagia: A Delphi-Based Consensus Study of Experts in Turkey-Part II: Rehabilitation
    (Springer, 2021) Umay E.; Eyigor S.; Ertekin C.; Unlu Z.; Selcuk B.; Bahat G.; Karahan A.Y.; Secil Y.; Gurcay E.; Kıylioglu N.; Keles B.Y.; Giray E.; Tikiz C.; Gezer I.A.; Yalıman A.; Sen E.I.; Vural M.; Saylam G.; Akaltun M.S.; Sari A.; Alicura S.; Karaahmet F.; Inanir M.; Demirhan A.; Aydeniz B.; Bilgilisoy M.; Yuksel A.; Ozcete Z.A.; Calik Y.; Alemdaroglu E.; Keskin D.; Sahin S.; Oztekin M.F.; Sezgin B.; Karaahmet O.
    Dysphagia is one of the most common and important complications of stroke. It is an independent marker of poor outcome following acute stroke and it continues to be effective for many years. This consensus-based guideline is not only a good address to clinical questions in practice for the clinical management of dysphagia including management, diagnosis, follow-up, and rehabilitation methods, but also includes detailed algorithms for these topics. The recommendation paper has been written by a multidisciplinary team and offers 117 recommendations for stroke patients with dysphagia. While focusing on management principles, diagnosis, and follow-up in the 1st part (45 items), rehabilitation details were evaluated in the 2nd part (72 items). © 2021, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Patients with Dysphagia: A Delphi-Based Consensus Study of Experts in Turkey-Part I: Management, Diagnosis, and Follow-up
    (Springer, 2022) Umay E.; Eyigor S.; Ertekin C.; Unlu Z.; Selcuk B.; Bahat G.; Karahan A.Y.; Secil Y.; Gurcay E.; Kıylioglu N.; Yavuz Keles B.; Giray E.; Tikiz C.; Albayrak Gezer I.; Yalıman A.; Sen E.I.; Vural M.; Saylam G.; Akaltun M.S.; Sari A.; Alicura S.; Karaahmet F.; Inanir M.; Demirhan A.; Aydeniz B.; Bilgilisoy M.; Yuksel A.; Ozcete Z.A.; Calik Y.; Alemdaroglu E.; Keskin D.; Sahin S.; Oztekin M.F.; Sezgin B.; Karaahmet O.; Bengisu S.; Yalcin Gokler T.; Mercimekci S.
    Dysphagia is one of the most common and important complications of stroke. It is an independent marker of poor outcome after acute stroke and may become chronic after the acute period and continues to affect all aspects of the patient's life. Patients with stroke may encounter any of the medical branches in the emergency room or outpatient clinic, and as in our country, there may not be specialists specific for dysphagia, such as speech-language pathologists (SLP), in every hospital. This study aimed to raise awareness and create a common opinion of medical specialists for stroke patients with dysphagia. This recommendation paper has been written by a multidisciplinary team and offers 45 recommendations for stroke patients with dysphagia. It was created using the eight-step Delphi round via e-mail. This study is mostly specific to Turkey. However, since it contains detailed recommendations from the perspective of various disciplines associated with stroke, this consensus-based recommendation paper is not only a useful guide to address clinical questions in practice for the clinical management of dysphagia in terms of management, diagnosis, and follow-up, but also includes detailed comments for these topics. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
