    Quality of Life in Panic Disorder: Follow Up Study for 3 Months
    (2015) Altintas, Ebru; Uguz, Sukru; Levent, Bekir Aydin
    Purpose: Panic Disorder is a common psychiatric condition which is higher risk for substance abuse, suicide attempts and functional disability. It is 2-3 times more common in women and estimated to range from 1,4% to 3,8% of the general population. Studies reported that quality of life in Panic Disorder is negatively affected and overall health (emotional and psyhical health), social activities, risk of unemployment increases. The aim of this study was investigate the affects of quality of life on panic disorder and depression and follow the treatment response after the 3 months. Material and Methods: 22 women and 9 men (total 31) within in age range of 20-73(mean age 40,3 +/- 12,9) diagnosed as Panic Disorder; 27 women and 15 men (total 42) within in age range of 18-57(mean age 33,6 +/- 11,5) diagnosed as Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia; 54 women and 19 men (total 73) within in age 20-69(mean age 38,5 +/- 11,7) diagnosed on Major Depression were included to study. Psychiatric interview were carried out using Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnose(SCID-I), Sociodemographic Data Form, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Scale(HAM-D), Panic and Agoraphobia Scale and Endicott's Work Productivity Scale (EWPS) were applied in 0., 1., 3. months. Results: Quality of life had negatively affected in all of the groups. In this study we found significant impairment in pain, general health, energy, social function, emotional role disability and mental health subgroups of quality of life scale (SF-36) in Depression group than Panic Disorder group. Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia had affected the quality of life worse than comparison with Panic Disorder without Agoraphobia. Conclusion: At the end of the treatment, there were no differences in quality of life between all of the groups statistically.

    Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: surgical, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes upon extended follow-up
    (2016) Alkar, Ilter; Ozveri, Hakan; Akin, Yigit; Ipekci, Tumay; Alican, Yusuf; 27256184
    Objectives: To evaluate the long-term surgical, functional, and quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed recorded data on patients who underwent HoLEP between June 2002 and February 2005. Ninety-six patients were enrolled. Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data were recorded. On follow-up, International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSSs), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, QoL scores, peak uroflowmetric data (Q(max) values), and post-voiding residual urine volumes (PVR volumes), were recorded. Complications were scored using the Clavien system. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The mean follow-up time was 41.8 +/- 34.6 months and the mean patient age 73.2 +/- 8.7 years. The mean prostate volume was 74.6 +/- 34.3mL. Significant improvements in Q(max) values, QoL, and IPSSs and decreases in PSA levels and PVR volumes were noted during follow-up (all p values=0.001). The most common complication was a requirement for re-catheterisation because of urinary retention. Two patients had concomitant bladder tumours that did not invade the muscles. Eight patients (8.3%) required re-operations; three had residual adenoma, three urethral strictures, and two residual prostate tissue in the bladder. Stress incontinence occurred in one patient (1%). All complications were of Clavien Grade 3a. We noted no Clavien 3b, 4, or 5 complications during follow-up. Conclusions: HoLEP improved IPSSs, Q(max) values, PVR volumes, and QoL and was associated with a low complication rate, during extended follow-up. Thus, HoLEP can be a viable option to transurethral resection of the prostate.
