Aim: Cognitive decline is an important problem for individuals, as well as for the community. Increasing evidence suggests that vitamin D may play a role in maintaining cognitive function and vitamin D deficiency may accelerate cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of vitamin D in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and to correlate the findings with cognitive functions. Materials and methods: The study was performed in Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center. Serum 25hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured and cognitive functions (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale’s (WAIS) Comprehension Subtest) tested with 51 peritoneal dialysis patients and a control group consisting of 51 healthy individuals have similar conditions with patients. Individuals with other chronic diseases and smoking and alcohol habits which may impair cognitive functions were excluded from the study. Results: Compared to each groups we found negative correlation between 25(OH)D3 levels and WAIS’s Comprehension Subtest in patient and control group. The correlation between data was evaluated with the Spearman’s test (P = 0.597, r = 0.76 and P = 0.010 r = 0.356 respectively). Conclusions: In the literature, there is no consensus on the presence of an association between vitamin D levels and cognition. In this study vitamin D levels were measured as deficiency in both groups. Further studies are needed to investigate for increasing actual knowledge about this association.
Randomized controlled study:investigation of the effcet of exercise on liver function tests, fatigue and quality of life in patients with liver cirrhosis
(JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY, 2021) Keskin, Hülya; Türeyen, Aynur; Akarca, Ulus
Background and aims: This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of the exercise program to be applied in patients with cirrhosis on the patient’s biochemistry parameters, quality of life, fatigue level, depression, and quality of sleep. Method: The study population consisted of 84 patients, including the physical exercise group (PE, n = 27), the breathing exercise group (BE, n = 29), and the no intervention group (NI, n = 28).An exercise program (5 minutes warm-up, 30 minutes walking, 5 minutes cooldown) and a 10-minute breathing exercise were requested 7days a week for 3 months in PE and BE patients, respectively. The patients were trained on how to perform the exercises and all the patients were followed up by phone calls on the exercise days and on the same days for the NI group to motivate the patients. Personal Information Form, 6-Minute Walking Test, Body Mass Index (BMI) Assessment Form, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, Biochemistry Parameters Assessment Form, Child-Pugh Score Assessment Form, Beck’s Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were completed by face-to-face interviews at the beginning and the end of the study period. Differences between the data at the onset and at the end within the groups were tested by the Wilcoxon test. Comparisons of the differences of the groups were performed with GLM repeated measures.
